Hello fellow Wario fans!
So my life is very interesting these days. Started on a new school, I learn a lot about myself and get SO many thoughts in my head, which makes me both stressed, happy, excited, anxious and more at the same time. But to calm myself down, I wanted to pick up a Wario Land 3 mod tool I found a while back. And now I want to make this into a full mod.
So I'm also working on my Super Wario Land fan game in all of this, but I'm currently taking a small break from it due to several reasons, so starting on this when I have time isn't a bad idea, in my head.
I currently use two mod tools. The first one is the Wario Land 3 editor made by Drenn. It's very good. I'm still experimenting with it, since I'm not super good with what all of the different numbers and banks and codes and everything means. But it's pretty straight forward, actually, and you can edit level design, areas and their sizes, doors, enemies, objects, etc. You can pretty much create the levels however you like it! The other one is a sprite/graphics editor made by YY. The graphics editor is a bit difficult to use sometimes, since there are SO much graphics in it, and it's hard to figure out what the different graphics are. But graphics like level names are very easy to edit, so that's good!
Here are some pictures of some quick experimenting I've done:
As I said, you can edit almost everything. But Wario Land 3 has a progression system, where you cannot collect certain keys/reach certain areas before you get a certain treasure. Therefore, I think it's smart to make sure the collection order and the different features that eventually appears reamains the same. Something I thought of is to try to change the Day/Night mechanic to a Summer/Winter mechanic! For each world (let's take Level 1 as an example) there are multiple versions of it. We have Day Level 1-0, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, and 4 other ones for the night version. These are versions it changes into later in the game (like when the tree in Level 1 opens its mouth). I'm able to edit and take advantage of different tilesets, but like I said, I still need to experiment more.
I don't know what you think of this, but leave your thoughts below! I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas!
