This level's visuals are very important, as we really want to wow players right when they get into the first galaxy. As for the feel, I'd like a more SMG1 feel for this level, so deeper in space, no bright sky. This is a galactic power star stronghold that has been broken into, so obviously there should be some debris and whatnot. I'd be really interested to see what ideas for the actual stronghold look like, so please anyone interested show your art!

Remember, this is the first level in the whole game. Be sure to set it's difficulty in the position it's in.

Y'know when I first heard the name "Astral Stronghold" I immediately thought about the Beta Starman Fort from SMG1:

Maybe we can get some inspiration from that :)

Eh, I was thinking more cosmic, but that's a good place to start.

Actually, starman fort would be a pretty cool Astral Stronghold 0.o

Well, if it was 100 times larger, a bit wider, and was darker-colored. :P
It should be a pretty awesome fortress to rival Bowser's Castle, with darkish colors, a cosmic-scale size, and be broken (otherwise it would be rather weird in difficulty, it's no.1). More towers like that + more walkways + retexture...
Sounds too much, but...you know.
Is that proposed "battle" between Bowser's airships and Comet Observatory + Starship Mario possible?

Starman for is big. Haven't you watched the videos of people exploring it? :P

Also, the bottom could be where the power stars WERE kept (Notice Mega-Leg down there? >:D)

Oh, okay.
What about the background battle?

Maybe that could be a cutscene? I don't really think that an animated battle in the background would work.

I dunno, Starman Fort is maybe a little too... cheerful? For the Astral Stronghold. Although, it would make sense for the stronghold to be created by Rosalina. She does look after the cosmos, after all. As such, it should probably be very comet observatory inspired, no?

^What I was thinking, but I thought I probably got something wrong lol.

Comet Observatory inspired? Like what? 0.o

I'm not entirely sure. On another note, background ideas (taken from priteeboy's deviantart):

Planets excluded, a rather interesting blue starry bg:

[image]

A sunset? That said, we probably won't use something like this, since it has clouds... but still:


[image]

Get rid of the second earth and this could make for a pretty interesting looking first level:


[image]

A more standard -- but still beautiful -- space background. Of course if we used something like this, no mountains would be included:


[image]

This might be a bit TOO colorful but... might as well post it:


[image]

This one I actually REALLY like. I know we didn't want clouds, but in this case I think we can make an exception. It both has a feel of space and simultaneously has clouds and a feel of wonder and exploration:

I like the fact that you can see Earth a bit in some of the pictures, because ya know, Mario's first galaxy shouldn't be too far away :P

I like them.
Anyway, the "background battle" was just a concept proposing that Comet Observatory, Starship Mario and various old allies of Mario would be moving around in the background along with tons of swarms of Airships, firing at each other. Might not be possible though...
Not in the actual background, just very far away.

Also, this is planet 1

This is the last galaxy being made...

We aren't supposed to have designs yet

Oh sorry. I still thought we could keep this design in thought when we DO start on this galaxy.

It's rather...unoriginal, you know. Though...
Glem3 wanted a few classic galaxy style with the fortress in the background, then the fortress itself, I think.

Heheh, my "default" imaginings of the fortress is something like the Death Star. lol

Something with gates and other stylistic and atmospheric details like those arches http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL4YnZjKcU4 at around 1:11
It should be really fancy, we want to impress people with the very first galaxy.
