« on: May 27, 2011, 09:16:12 pm »

I am trying to recreate the rotating ground elements found in New Super Mario Bros Wii.  The game takes the image below and rotates it in a circle.



And forms something like this:



If anyone has any clue of how to do this in Photoshop or GIMP, please let me know.

Maps In Progress / The Legend of Zelda: 4 Swords Adventure

« on: January 15, 2011, 03:47:33 pm »

I am currently mapping LOZ: 4 Swords adventure for Gamecube.  These are the first ever ripped Gamecube maps at the site!  This game is going to take a long time to complete; even though there are few levels, the levels are huge, and the fact that it's for a newer system doesn't help.

I'm using a level editor for the game called EFSAdvent with help from Dolphin Emulator to rip the sprites and all other graphics.  Right now I've completed the first world and they are up on the site right now.

World 1

Level 1: Lake Hylia


Level 2: Cave of no return


Level 3: Hyrule Castle


World 2

Level 1: The Coast

Level 2: Village of the Blue Maiden


Level 3: Eastern Temple


World 3

Level 1: Death Mountain Foothills


Level 2: The Mountain Path


Level 3: Tower of Flames

Maps In Progress / Crosswords DS

« on: April 28, 2009, 03:25:01 pm »

I am going to make some maps from Crosswords DS.  I should be able to finish this game fairly quickly becuase I wrote a program that can create images from extracted files.  Here is a sample crossword it generated:

When I make these I will be putting multiple crosswords into one image.

Maps In Progress / Mario Kart DS direct rips

« on: January 28, 2009, 02:51:26 pm »

I am glad to announce that I have just recently been able to directly rip the bottom screen maps from the Mario Kart DS rom.  I will be re-doing all of my past ones to get better accuracy, and I will be able to make them very fast.



When I rip them from the rom I get the map separated into 2 images shown below.  They are at regular size, so I will scale them up 200% to make them look like the do in-game.

I'm working on a new level of Yoshi's Island, and I am considering two background styles to use.

The background is put in at full size.
