Pokey's Adventure - New Title Screen

Lately, I've been working a bit on Pokey's Adventure again. In fact, I'm kind of re-starting the whole project! This includes tidying up the Map16 tiles, ExGFX, music and pretty much everything else. Organized hacks are much more fun to work with. :D More information can be found in the new hack thread.

Might as well show a screenshot here:


Yep, that's the new title screen. I've changed pretty much everything compared to the title screen in Demo 1 - the title font is bigger, more colorful and more enjoyable to look at in general, the background is ripped from scratch, the decorations look a little nicer and capital letters for "WhiteYoshiEgg" have been added.

That's all for now. As I said, check out the hack thread to be kept up-to-date.

C3 stuff part 2 + Pokey's Adventure Announcement

My third and last C3 project is now finished - it's something graphic-related again. Inspired by this SMW wallpaper, I combined a few SMW backgrounds with each other. The result can be seen here. Okay, it's just two backgrounds, but meh, it's better than nothing.

In other news, I have some updates on Pokey's Adventure again. Apart from showing screenshots of levels I finished months ago (._.'), I also posted this:

Since many people complained about the contradictory plot (and I wasn't too fond of it myself either), I thought I could let you decide the plot!
Well, not decide it, but I'd like you to suggest some storylines that make sense, and after some time, I'll choose the one I like best. Only conditon: It must have something to do with Pokey's brothers being kidnapped - I don't feel like redoing the story completely. ;)

I'm probably not that motivated to work on it if the story stuff isn't out of my mind, so I'm waiting for your suggestions. ;)

Feel free to post your suggestions as a comment here, or in the Pokey's Adventure thread on SMWC.


That's all for now... See you!

Pokey's Adventure - Amapola Waterfall (beta)

Some screenshots of the cave part of "Amapola waterfall" in Pokey's Adventure, just for the sake of showing something today. Yes, I am aware of the major cutoffness, thanks.






Expect to see more of this level when it's fully done.

Pokey's Adventure

This post will introduce my SMW hack, which is called "Pokey's Adventure" - For those of you who don't know it.
It's a hack I started more than one year ago, after my firt hack was rejected from SMWC. As the name implies, the main character is not Mario, but Pokey!
The story is pretty generic: Bowser has taken over Pokey's homeland and built up a new army. But to see if they're good enough to possibly defeat Mario, he lets Pokey "test" it. He kidnaps Pokey's brothers and holds them captive in his 7 towers that are scattered around the land. Now it's up to Pokey to rescue is brothers and to banish Bowser from his homeland!
Well, that was the best I could come up with. If you have a better storyline (that doesn't involve changing the plot completely), feel free to tell me.
I already released a 1 world demo, which you can download here. I'm currently working on demo 2, and about half of it is finished.
To make up for the wall of boring text, here's the newest video, uploaded just a few minutes ago:

Copied from the description:
A video of world 2-4 in my SMW hack, Pokey's Adventure. (Yes, the outside part and the boss battle are exact copies of parts in my custom level "Frozen Mansion", which is avaiable on Youtube as well. Also, I know the music in the outside part should be ghost house music... I just forgot to change it before recording. It's fixed by now.

Enjoy!
