Gecko's Smash Bros Mayhem

[Gecko Lee]

I'm willing to allow others to work on the missing maps if the texture's quality is good overall!
For downloads see below.



Im working on some levels, I do not have an agenda, but lot's of time. So probably I will stick with this for some time. I do not have any intentions to create textures for other games like this. I know that there's a freaking awesome Majora's Mask project in the works as well as a real nice Banjo Kazooie mod which I'm desperately awaiting.

What I'll do:
- levels

What I'll maybe do:
- items/ objects

What I'll need
- High resolution backgrounds

What I won't do:
- characters (they should most probably have been done before)
- menus


What's done so far:
- Hyrule Castle - finished on June 14th
- Donkey Kong Jungle - finished on June 15th
- Peach's Castle - finished on June 16th
- Saffron City - finished on June 20th
- Mushroom Kingdom - finished on July 15th
- Kirby's Dreamland - finished on December 24th

What's next:
- Most probably Yoshi's Island

Map list:
- Peach's Castle
- Kongo Jungle
- Hyrule Caste
- Planet Zebes
- Yoshi's Island
- Kirby's Dreamland
- Sector Z
- Saffron City
- Mushroom Kingdom

Hyrule Caste

What I liked the most:
I don't know. It's the map I started with and the first one I've ever done. Looking on it today, it most probably isn't the most beatiful one, yet it's still playable.

Changes:
- The window was removed from the tower on the right side, thought it was a litte awkward. Now, you perverts can look inside, hehe.

For comparison:


Donkey Kong Jungle

What I liked the most:
The changes on the palms in the background. Overall, it lightens the map up pretty much. I thought the original was way to dark. The box captioned "Donkey Kong" may look a litte stupid - did not really know what to add there. Suggestions appreaciated. ^^

Changes:
- The palm trees do look more like real palm trees. The 2 barks in the edges of the platform aren't as fat as in the real version.

Big thank you to Iconoclast who helped me getting rid of a transparency problem.

wow, that looks pretty good, it's alot different
I like it

[Gecko Lee]

Thank you! ^^ I really appreciate your comment.



Still, I do not want to hinder you in your criticism. If there's something totally wrong, go ahead and tell me. Afterwards, I will most probably revise every level.

That's it for now. I will post here as soon as I have something new.

well the only thing weird is the clouds in the Donkey Kong lvl, they don't match but that's the only thing kinda weird. ^^

hyrule castle looks great btw

I'm planning on adding a brighter, blue sky. Yet, I have to figure out how backgroundediting works. Hopefully, it will fit in, otherwise lightning could become a problem and it would not really fit together as you mentioned.

Peach's Castle

What I liked the most:
Adding a target to the flying interceptors, now there's a raison d'etre for them.

Changes:
- fences/railing were removed. I did not really know what to with them so I simply removed them. Map looks much clearer without them even though it's less detailed.
- tower door was removed. It was one of those damn textures which cannot really be changed because its last line gets repeated over and over again.

Note:
The platform in the middle of the map has a gradient instead of a texture. I made it this way due to a limitation because the original texture was 1px wide. You cannot really change it, so I used it for a gradient. Thought it was the best way to go.

the only thing I dont like about peaches castle is that solid green underneath the grass. it does not match.

[Gecko Lee]

I know. See the attachment for the original texture. It's only 1px wide therefore it can't be resized.
