(Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - pieordie1 - 12-02-2017

Paper Mario: Star Matrix is a Paper Mario 64 ROM Hack created by me, pieordie1! It aims to create an entirely new adventure in the Paper Mario universe based on the first 2 Paper Mario games!
Story
The main story is that Mario, Peach and Luigi are all going on vacation to a nice tropical island. Suddenly, they have to make an emergency landing from their flight due to bad weather and end up in the busiest sky city in the world, Skyport Metropolis. There, Mario runs into Serena T., an assistant of a professor at the Celestial University, who was, strangely enough, on her way to send a letter to Mario, asking him for a meeting with her professor. Mario accepts, and goes to meet with him. The professor (unnamed at the moment) reveals that he wants Mario to help him on a "small" expedition to collect 7 magical celestial stars called the Elemental Stars, so that he can use them for a special presentation. Mario agrees, and begins looking for the stars. In the meantime, Peach feels there's something suspicious about the professor and starts looking into his past.

Music
For this project, I will be composing every song in the game myself! I will be using a combination of FL Studio and Musescore + soundfonts.
Currently I have completed: 15 of 100+ songs!
I regularly update my Soundcloud with new songs, so please follow me there! I also stream level modeling on my Twitch channel regularly and upload previews to my YouTube channel!
I look forward to posting the games' progress here regularly! I will try to get a weekly update thing going, but it may not happen sometimes due to university. In addition, once I finish the prologue completely (about 12 maps or so) I will make a playable demo. Thanks!

Cool, I look forward to seeing more

Hype!! I cannot wait to see what you implement!

Awesome!

Wow!!! Amazing project!!!
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - DustinVG - 12-02-2017
I was wondering when we'd start seeing some significant Paper Mario romhacks around these parts. Seems pretty promising so far, so keep it up.
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - pieordie1 - 12-10-2017
Thanks everyone! I'm glad people seem interested ^^
Week #2
This week I was focusing on implementing custom battles and enemies, as well as working on Heavenly Skyway map #2! I'm pleased to say that I've been able to completely add in different enemies, and that I've finished Heavenly Skyway's 2nd map! Over the next week I plan on working on maps 3 and 4, as well as finishing the music for the main hub area, Skyport Metropolis ^^

Dude, the idea of this and in a hack form..
Amazing!
And how do you edit music in a rom?
I wish I could be involved in this somehow but i wouldnt know what to contribute.

Music editing isn't quite possible yet, but the developer of the hacking tool said it should be a thing soon!
If anyone wants to help, I could always use some assistance in sprites since I'm not the best with art in general. I could also use coding assistance, but it's not needed too badly since I've been teaching myself how to do stuff. Puzzle design and world design ideas are always welcome!
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - Zero Kirby - 12-10-2017
I like the concept! Plus it's pretty cool to see a Paper Mario ROM-hack being made.
Definitely looking forward to this project's completion. I wish you the best of luck!
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - Zalthair - 12-10-2017
This. This has potential.
Also you mentioned help on sprites? Well, I'm certainly onboard. I may not be the best spriter in the world, but I'd have some experience in sprite-editing. I might give it a shot, if you do like.

That sounds great! As long as you can get the basic Paper Mario 64 spriting stuff down I think you'll be fine. We do have a discord explicitly for Star Rod and PM64 hacking if you would like to join, then I can explain more stuff from there ^^
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - Zalthair - 12-11-2017
Alright, seems good to me!
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - pieordie1 - 02-03-2018
Hey guys, long time no see! I got really busy with finals and school, then I got sick for like 10 days during break lol. Nevertheless, I've made alot more progress on maps! In addition, I fully know how to spawn in enemies and trigger battles! I'm almost to the amount of maps required for the prologue to be done ^^
Anyways, here's some new screenshots!
Heavenly Skyway area 2
Heavenly Skyway area 3
Oh look, a Fluff Puff!
Exploring around the skyway! Plus those puffs are everywhere....
Mario should've looked at the weather forecast! (WIP area)
Anyways guys, hopefully I'll be able to do more updates soon! I'll be working on this alot, so hopefully I'll get done soon! Also I'll be so glad to get out of this cloud level finally lol, maybe next time I'll come by with a change of scenery?
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - Vitiman - 02-03-2018
Oh wow, this is really great! It's great to finally see full blown new games made with the original Paper Mario as a base, I absolutely love stuff like this.
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - Snessy the duck - 02-03-2018
Wow, this actually looks like a legit Paper Mario sequel Nintendo would make. It's insane how much work has been put into this. Keep it up!
RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - pieordie1 - 02-11-2018
Thanks for the positive feedback guys ^^
Weekly(?) Update #2
This week I worked on implementing a new environment effect: thunderstorms/rain! This would take place in a sub-area of Heavenly Skyway called Tempest Skypass! This model isn't finished yet, but it'll be done hopefully this week ^^

RE: (Paper Mario 64 ROM HACK) Paper Mario ~ Star Matrix - 9bitJumpMan - 04-22-2019
Awesome! I think I can help with world design, and I might be able to help with the story too (if you have one).
