Hack Project ~ Super Mario 64: Divine Mission

[Retro Reviver]

Good day, everyone.
So~... For almost a year now I've been working on a hack called Super Mario 64: Divine Mission and I've made...little progress.
Divine Mission is planned to be an open-world full hack with an undecided amount of stars, since I don't intend more major courses to have 7 stars. They can have as much as 3 or 4 stars, for all I care.
A lot of the inspiration to make this came from BroDute's work (primarily Star Revenge 8 and 4.5) and Pieordie1's work (primarily Shining Stars 3).
I plan to pick up the pace now, and perhaps get out a demo by August this year.

Currently, I have all course concepts (major and minor) planned out. Though I have only finished the first hub, and just finalising Course 1, I think I figured I'm proud of what I have and wanted to share it.

So, without further ado, screenshots of Super Mario 64: Divine Mission!!

Laboratory - Where the story begins (though you don't spawn in there)


Peaceful river being a peaceful river. So nice.


An additional challenge for those that welcome it.


Every openworld hack needs a fast way to get around, I'd say.


So. Many. References.

A pen of Chain Chomps. Be careful.


Somebody sure favours Goombas as a pet.


This lake's pretty nice. Nice, as in, a nice way to tell how terrible my sense of scale is.


Oh? Might that lead to another course?


Nice view in the valley.


Biggest windmill in the area.


Skelux's boundary patch working it's magic, clearly.


Thought it would be fitting to end this with an image from above.

I also plan a few edits. It's just some super basic stuff (with like 2 or 3 complex things I'm getting some assistance with).
 - Red coins becoming Frog Coins. Only 5 are required. Though 8 can still be acquired.
 - 100 coin missions being obsoleted and being replaced with a secret star. Hints for said secret star are hidden within it's respective level (unless the stage has purple coins in which case, it is a 100 coin mission) .
 - Wing Cap boxes to produce Wing Caps, Vanish Caps and Metal Caps. If this doesn't work out, I have a backup prepared.
 - Metal Cap boxes and Vanish Cap boxes to serve a different purpose.
 - A good ending and a bad ending.

This is all that I have so far. Thanks for reading. ^.^
