SM64 Coastal Catastrophe

[MWeegee]

170 + Stars planned.


Story: Mario wakes up floating in the middle of a large body of water, with a beach in front of him. On the beach there seems to be a large lighthouse. Atop the large cliff mario spots a large tower, and an island afloat in the sky. He talk to the inhabitants of the lighthouse to realize bowser has stolen the power of the island's stars, and is using them to prepare a laser cannon to launch at the mushroom kingdom. Mario must recover the stars from all of the castles on the island!

This hack will test a new idea of mine, using multiple castles in one large interconnected hub world. Each castle will act as a portal to a certain amount of levels. A new castle can only be opened once a certain amount of stars are obtained.

An overview of the island:



The individual areas of the island!


Area 1: Beachway Cove


Whats this? An old man-hole? Maybe it's connected to that light house off to the right....


Area 2: Tree Tall Forest


An old forest filled with tall trees and enough vines to overthrow 10 social networking websites! (U C wut I did thar? hur hur.) That giant tree stump seems hollow......I wonder whats inside.


Area 3: Clockwork Tower


An ancient castle most likely used by ancient people who lived here. It seems to have some spiritual significance as time does not function properly around this castle. (Some kind of wibbly wobbly timey wimey junk no one cares about.....) That probably explains why the terrain outside is so...strange. I mean, lava and ice together??!! this is gonna be fun.....


Area 4: ???? ?????


?????????????????

Boardwalk Circus

Come join the circus, we'll be waiting.....










We've all been abandoned for so long.....won't you have fun with us, Mario?



Disclamer: UV Mapping not finished! Every issue will be fixed.

Not much to show, but might as well put up a screenshot of this, it's been done for awhile now but I never really posted it.

I just realized i've been misspelling the title of my own hack since I announced it.

I feel like an idiot now.

[LordFunghi]

Looks pretty good hope u will bring 1st DEMO soon ^^

[MWeegee]

Thanks, trying to piece something together. There will be a demo at one point though.

[MWeegee]

Finally, actual progress:


This looks...strangely...familiar.......

[MWeegee]

More new things because WHY NOT.




Also, a brand new logo! (Credit Gatete.)

[Nutta]

My opinion on the logo is that it looks really damn pretty, but the level itself... No opinions but I hope it gets more polished as time goes by.

[MWeegee]

It's going to get a lot more polished, I've barely began it yet. So far I'm focusing on making the textures older and modifying those. After that I'm going to start fixing up the model a bit.

So many unneeded polygons.....*shudders*
