As far as fan-games are concerned, I had a lot of games on the backburner. One of them was inspired by the fan game Super Mario Lost World 2 (if anyone remembers that) but it was an extravagant time waster because I planned like 12 different medallions or runes or something to collect across a lot of different stages accessible on the overworld map. Some stages included a garbage dump, and a town full of Toads totally in love with the ideas of love, but never living to do anything about it (i.e. Standing and thinking, "I wonder if so-and-so likes me? I just love the idea I'd rather just stand here and think about it forever!")
Another game was of a Shy Guy that could float by using his feet. Never went anywhere past the debug room.
Probably my biggest (and probably most ambitious) non-fan-game project was a game called Tower. You played as a smiley face with a hammer (the sprite ripped from an emoji of a smiley with a gavel) going from the top of a tower to the bottom of the tower. It was segmented into four areas, with each area made up of 5 stages. The Smiley would go through a normal castle area, then an overgrown vegetation area similar to Brinstar from Super Metroid, a lava-filled area and finally, an ice cave-type area. The bosses included a giant spider, an insect queen, a lava bound serpent-dragon, and the ice boss wasn't made yet. As you can tell it was far into development, but unfortunately the data was deleted.
My SMRPG fan-dome started with Mario in the Mirage Machine: Secrets of Subcon. Mallow (from Super Mario RPG) gets a bump on his head and Mario has to travel into his dreams to restore his lost memories. Unfortunately for Mario (and me) the root of all evil emerges from Mallow, goes into the tangible world and creates it's own world. THEN (yeah it continues!) you go into the root of all evil's dreams. Interesting concepts, but not much production.
My second SMRPG fan-game continued with Plumber's Parasitic Plant Problem. Backstory: Mario, Peach and Toad go on vacation to an island, home of the talking piranha plant Audrey. Audrey rules over all piranha plants and obviously, something bad happens to her, and you need to figure out what's going on.
It goes deeper, and the Star Road gets involved stating "It must protect the Flower World", and you discover what the Flower World is, what ever that could be.
The third SMRPG hack was Super Birthday Wish... Which isn't totally abandoned but is now being reworked into another format. TBD.
