Hi!

I've been wanting to create my own worlds in Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine for a long, long time. Unfortunately not much has surfaced on the modding side with those games. I know tools such as Wind Viewer exist, but I was looking for something a little more user friendly.

To get straight to the point, how much would it cost to create a world editor (similar to that in Far Cry 3) for Wind Waker and SMS (separate ones for each, of course)? I'd want to be able to use any asset from the games to create worlds/custom stories (missions). This would involve not only being able to create our own worlds, but setting up triggers for audio and visual events, and dialogues too. I would want it as easy to work with as the FC world editor.

Once they've reach a stable state, I think it would be a good idea to release them as open source to the public so they could be further improved. You could consider this a jumpstart. :)

Keep in mind I'm aware of how pricey these sorts of things can be. I'm just looking for honest numbers at the moment to consider possibilities. I really want this, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. If I can't fund it directly then I'm sure donations could be set up at a steady pace to help development move along in a fairly fast manner.

Thank you for your guidance. :)

Uhh...I don't think that something like this would get anywhere, even with donations. People just do this in their freetime when they have interest, and 99% of people who have registered at the various scenes don't have the skills necessary to do that anyways. I'm actually really surprised we have an SMS level editor at all. Wind Waker has a decent level editor only because a bunch of people like it enough to get into hacking it, like Bean and chadderz with MKW, it sold so well that it had enough interest to get where it did.
