Honestly, to me this doesn't hold enough importance to push through on my own. I mean, if more people are starting to work on it again, or someone tells me what to do, sure, I can help. But I've decided to take a break as a director for the time being. I think if this is going to thrive again, Haiko would make the best director, for numerous reasons. But for now... we'll see, I have enough other fun and less fun (school related) things to do.
[DEAD] Wario Land 3 Hack Project
- Thread starter wariolandgoldpiramid
- Start date
Ah, thanks, I try.
Anyway, I want this project to start running again. I'm in the mood to make sone Wario Land style stuff, so...
First of all, can everyone who are at the very least still interested in this post a comment here saying so, cause then we know who we still have on board.
And second: we need to deside. There are a few things we can do for this project, and I've thought of three options.
1. Continue where we left of. Simply start working on Wario Land 3 again.
2. Step over to Wario Land 2. This would be easier to make levels for, so it would be a good decision.
And 3. Make our own thing. We could make an engine with Unity, Game Maker, or perhaps Java. This might alienate some people though.
And in order to keep this threat running smoothly, I've decided I want to do sort of a question of the week kind of thing!(or maybe I'll do 2 per week, who knows)
As this is the first one, I decided to do 2 questions:
-What is your favorite Wario game?
-What Game Development Programs can you work with?
My favorite Wario game would be Wario World, I simply adore this game, the sheer overload of Wario feels and it's level design is masterful.
As for Game Dev Programs, K'm a Game Maker guy. I'm a High School student, so I have not had any game developmrnt lessons yet, and Game Maker seemed to be good enough of a starting program. However, I'm eager to learn more programs, especially Unity and Java.
Dude your a king!!! Do you see how many views you've gotten??
Yeah, i know. But that doesn't change that we are kind of stuck...
------------------------
I'm still kind of interested, but very busy with uni and life, so not sure how much work I can do. I do support Haiko being director. I might step down from director thought...
As far as what game to use:
i sujjest we move to Wario Land 2. Designing levels will be much easier, since we wouldn't need to put 4 stages in one or focus on powerups. Each stage can have it's own set of puzzles and mechanics.
I'll do a bit of re-search, and list what Wario Land 2 has that Wario Land 3 doesn't and wise versa, so we can see what we can and can't do

Darn, that sucks. I'll take a look tomorrow.
I'm still interested, and if you want, I do have some spare time to devote on this at least one or two times a week. I'm also interested in WLII, things having to do with programming and Wario are just two things I love, so no matter how they're combined, I'll be happy.
As to the questions: I don't think I can choose between Wario Land II and 3, mainly because my II cartridge doesn't save anymore, and I haven't played it in a really long while because of that. I also haven't played anything more than the four handheld Wario Land games (no, the virtualboy is not a handheld
).
For the second question: I don't spend time on programming anymore, nowadays. I'm just often too tired to do the thinking for it. I am capable of making simple games in Gamemaker, but nowhere as good as Haiko is.
I can also make text-based games in GFA-BASIC (as if anyone still uses that).

Also I can't find a way to add regions...
If only we could improve the editor ourselves :\ Is it Java?
Yeah, it's java.
we could still try to contact the editor's creator thought...
By the way, sorry I didn't create what i promiced yet. Been very busy

I should probably check in here. So if you plan to move to wario land 2, I won't be quite as much help to you. Evmatter definitely seems to have a firm grasp on things in terms of the editor itself, so that's good. Don't be afraid to make feedback in his rhdn thread, or request features, he won't bite.
I could still contribute ASM hacks if and when they're needed. Custom tile effects if possible, things like that... I'd prefer, though, to see some decent progress in terms of level design before starting on things like that. After all, the wl3 project seems to have died in pretty early stages.
I'll keep reading through this thread, and I wish you the best of luck getting this project off the ground. I don't think there's much I can do to help in early stages, but if there is, let me know.

There's a "duplicate" button which you can use. Then you'll have 2 regions on top of each other. Move the new region to where you want it to be.
I'll take another closer look at it, if I get the time, thanks.
WOW, Didn't get informed on the posts here, sorry :|
Anyway, so in terms of developing games...
I'm currently working on a Zelda'esk game on my own spare time, but it's nothing major, and taking into consideration the fact that I cannot get a Release License because I'm not old enough, I can pause that at any time.
I think we will step over to WL2, even though the back of my brain feels like we are being a traitor to Drenn and all the work he put into his WL3 editor just for us. We'll see, we'll see...
Also, I have decided that, once I'm done making this Zelda'esk game, I'm going to make a Wario Land inspired game on my own. When progress on that starts, I can inform you guys on it if you want?
