Dreaming Mario's Amalgamation (OW1 Demo)
This is a demo of the first overworld of an upcoming hack named "Dreaming Mario's Amalgamation", made for Scuttle Hacking Competition 3, in which you had to make a "hack of a hack".
This demo includes 3 main courses (C1, C2 & C5) and 2 secret courses (WC & B1), as well as a custom overworld.
The making of this hack took about a full week (7 days) of actual work, although that is a very rough timeline since I was not keeping track of time during the making of the hack. However, most of the hack was made during the final week of the time given (the time given being November 19th 2021 to January 1st 2022; work on the demo officially started on December 3rd 2021, and concluded on January 1st 2022).
Every single one of the levels in the hack uses level models from other hacks combined with textures from levels in different hacks, hence the "amalgamation". It's meant to hopefully bring back familiar locations to the player. The hack originally came with a .txt that contained the original authors of everything, but this is not included in the download. An update will be made to include the credits in-game eventually, but for now here they are:
- Dream Towers (model from "Lug's Tiny Torture" by Lugmillord, textures from "Star Revenge 2 (Act I): To the Moon" by BroDute, music by jesusyoshi54)
- New Sunrise (model from "SM64 The Unknown Courses" by goldirehead789, textures from "Ztar Attack 2: A Blast to the Past" by TheGael95, music from "SM64 Stellato" by Rulu & Itsri).
- Gardens of Hope (models from "Super Mario The Crystal Stars" by Fares242 & "Luigi and the Forest Ruins Rebooted" by LinCrash & TheGael95, textures from "Star Revenge 6.25: Luigi's Adventure DX" by BroDute & "Stars of the Beast 2.5" by Milgram355 & Daniel_EDC, music by mosky2000)
- Penguin's Sky (model from "Super Mario Jammin Journey" by goosedajuice, textures "The Phantom's Call" by PhantomPhire, music from "Mario Adventure" by aglab2)
- Previous Location (model from "SM64 Luigi's Ghostly Quest" by SonicAndMarioGames, textures from "I Crave Attention 64" by aglab2 & lunhazel, music from "Mario Adventure" by aglab2)
- Unliving, Fading Diadem (model from "TB8's Classic Pack" by TomatoBird8, textures from "King Boo's Revenge 2" by thebloody7 & sizzlingmario4, music from "Super Mario Integration of Fragments" by various people).
Although this may end up being one of the simpler entries due to its premise and my lack of much experience, I hope it's still at least enjoyable to playthrough.
