Aquaflame Star 1 - Search for the Silver Lining (undecided)


Pretty Picture Placeholder
Enemies:
  • Torpedo Teds
  • Urchins
  • Gringills
  • Porcupuffers
  • Magmaw(s)
  • Bloopers
  • Firebars
  • Lava Bubbles
Boss(es):
  • Fiery Gobblegut

As the galaxy starts, you see the opening cameras as usual, unless you prefer to skip them. Then you start gliding in towards the planet. If you've played the original Super Mario Galaxy, you'll recognize some similarities between this and Drip Drop Galaxy, notably being a giant planet made of water that allows a ton of room for exploration. As you get closer you start to notice how enormous the planet is, and that there's a volcano in the middle, bubbling and boiling. You land on a piece of rock that was formed by the water cooling down lava.

Time to dive in! Some of the stuff that really defines the atmosphere is that there are "veins" of lava along the volcano crust that give off a glow. As you swim around, you also see groups of fish emitting light. Even though it's nighttime, you can clearly see everything. It's almost kind of peaceful. However, back to the task at hand. As you landed on the planet, a penguin told you to collect 5 silver stars hidden around the planet, be it in treasure chests, clams, or even hiding among the uneven surface of the volcano - Gelato-Beach-style(JUST YOU WAIT, THERE WILL BE A PARODY CALLED THIS).

However, not all is as peaceful as it seems. The planet is loaded with Torpedo Teds, Urchins, Gringills swimming around, Porcupuffers, Magmaws that jump out at you, and even a few Bloopers.

While you're swimming around collecting Silver Stars, you'll see there is also a ton of rewards. Along with some stuff that you can get with an Ice Flower on the surface of the planet, there are lots of starbits all about, this will be important later. If you happen to defeat all the Gringills, a Life Shroom will appear, and it will be very useful in the upcoming segment, because once you collect all the Silver Stars, the normal Power Star appears, and the magma covering the volcano's top will disappear. HOWEVER, once the Power Star is spawned, it gets sucked down into the volcano, and you will have chase after it.

Once inside, you go into a classic 2D type level, and the entire thing is flooded. Of course, there is always plenty of air bubbles to keep you alive. Inside there are Fire Bars, Lava Bubbles, and lots of lava that you should try to avoid. As you go through the area, you wonder what lies at the heart of the volcano.

On the opposite side of where you entered the area, it will be pure lava, with veins along the walls like on the outside of the volcano. Once you finally reach there, you see a cutscene where the Power Star goes into the lava and none other than Fiery Gobblegut emerges, born from the power of the star, and decides to attack you.

Then the moment hits you that you have to fight Fiery Gobblegut. UNDERWATER. INSIDE A FREAKING VOLCANO.
Of course, there are lots of bubbles with coins inside, and infinite bubble spawners along the edges, so you don't drown. There will definitely also be some Koopa Shells to give you an edge in the fight. If you managed to find and collect the Life Shroom, this boss fight should be no problem.

Once all is said and done and he is defeated, the lava disappears and the Power Star re-emerges from the depths for you to collect.

Art coming soon once grid and I can sort stuff out soon. Expect a second and third star very soon as well.

A quick,rough illustration on one side of the planet (the other side is better :P)

The zigzag thingy at the bottom left is a gorge/ridge, that is a bit like this image.

Can't wait for the rest of it!

Hmmm... this is actually pretty nice.

If done right it would be a very cool level

Is the first Star with Silver Stars or Gobblegut. If it is both, that wouls be strange since either Gobblegut will spawn a Silver Star, or you collect the Silver Stars before you fight Gobblegut to collect the Star he is blocking your path to.

The design says that the silver stars are needed to unlock the entrance to Fiery gobblegut...

But the point of silver stars is to make a power star

Is swimmy Mario even fast enough to avoid Gobblegut? I can barely do it while running ._o

Theoretically, you could use a shell like with Kingfin.

Hm seems like it'd be hard to control Mario well enough to effectively avoid Gobblegut but I guess I'll wait to make a judgement until I actually see it in action.

Tweaked the story a bit. Basically, the Silver Stars DO spawn a Power Star, but it goes inside the volcano and awakens Fiery Gobblegut.

Here is the thing, once all silver stars are gotten, the star spawns above the volcano, and 'falls' inside, thus awakening the boss.
(and the silver stars also unlocks the entrance on the way...)

Nice! The outside seems perfect (though I hope the animations thing won't be ridiculously hard to do).
The volcano section though, if it's only 2D, seems a bit lacklustre. Maybe some 3D sections, with twisting underwater passages of magma walls?
O_O Underwater Fiery Gobblegut
Sounds awesome, but I can see so many problems (will there still be a planet to fight on?). Not fast enough to escape Fiery Gobblegut, swimming away from Gobblegut...at best, it'll be a confused and hectic fight. At worst, it'll be a glitchy unbeatable/ridiculously hard mess.
Though fighting him above the main magma chamber would look great...

An underwater Gobblegut will actually be easier, it'll give you more space to move around, and if there are air bubbles, it could be pretty good for a W5 boss.

Easier? What?
The player would only be barely able to outrun Gobblegut by using a shell in a straight line. Gobblegut going off the planet'll glitch up.
It'd just be a confused tangle. Even the normal fight was a confused tangle, add when taking in account the inaccurate swimming controls...

This first battle was only that hard because of the annoying gravity. Underwater, you can just wait in a specific location above the ground to make it easier. The shell will screw you over for sure, but spinning in the water might make it easier.


But...I just noticed, is the battle arena going to be flat? Then I see why there might be a problem.


Err..Larry Koopa? O_o

Well there are certain aspects I like, such as the fiery gobblegut battle and the maagmaarghs, I think the way you designed your planet is too open, where mine manages to balance both openness and linearity.

The planet's gameplay is like Drip Drop and Bonefin. Linearity might not be too much of a problem.

Like gc said, the 2D section inside the volcano might end up being lackluster. But having a 3D section could potentially make it into a boring versiob if Lethal Lava Land's volcano. A mixture of 2D and 3D inside the volcano would be the best bet.

This is basically a water level. Water levels are suppose to be open.

Personally, I like the planets. They're not too open nor too linear (Err, except for the 2D section)

Which may or may not be a 2D section any longer based on recent events. Keep in mind that this is still a work in progress, until we sort stuff out.
TBH I'm thinking 2.5D like SM3DL
