Luigi's Mansion DS is a hack project I am doing in my spare time. It uses the F.L.U.D.D source code by Flachra and also uses OBJ importing.

I just started working on it, but I'll lay out out what it will be.

The Concept
The bottom screen will be the Gameboy Horror. It will have the map and also show information on the coins, gold, and money you collected.


Concept image is above.

Right now, it's really early but expect updates in the next few weeks.

Release Plans
Unlike other projects, I will release betas as I work on this, they will be minor, the first beta I plan to release will have the mansion, a few ghosts, toads, and poltergeist. Remember that the early betas will not represent the final product in any way.

What It will be like
The player model will be changed to a low-poly version of the Luigi's Mansion player model.

The Caps will be replaced by nozzles. Like the Water nozzle and fire nozzle, and will be available when you need them in the game.



To-Do List
Retexturing Luigi - Done

Mansion Model - 50% (lacks textures)

Polterguist 4000 - Model is 20% complete.

Mansion Interior - 0%

Updated OP with more stuff.

Also updated OP with a fake box art I made for the hack.

I can't help but be concerned when you're making box art for this hack when, as far as I can tell, you have no actual hacking progress to show.

I made that boxart before I even started working on the project. Don't worry, I should have some progress to show in a few days.

When do you think you're done make it because it seems like it is going to be a very big project

Right now I don't know when it wil be done for sure, but maybe a beta release in a month or so.

Also, I updated OP with a To-Do list. it will have more stuff as I finish it.

Here's a picture of the Luigi retexture. Took a while to get a picture because there isn't any camera control codes for SM64DS.

The idea for the hack sounds interesting!
Are you also planning to use custom characters? Playing with E.Gadd would be cool

Yea, I'm planning to use custom characters. I actually plan to have E. Gadd as a playable character, He'll replace Wario. You'll be able to switch to him by talking to E. Gadd at his lab. If you want to play as Luigi again, he'll be in E. Gadd's lab. After you talk to him you can play as Luigi again.

(E. Gadd will slower than Luigi, but it will be eaiser to catch ghosts with him.)

Honestly the retexture doesn't look very good, Luigi's eyes look very awkward.

Yeah I noticed that after I posted it. I'm fixing right now

... screenshots?

When I finish the mansion model, I'll import it and post screenshots.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I agree with this logic, E.Gadd asked Luigi to catch the Ghosts for him
in the first place, since it was getting too hard for him due to his old age, if anything, it should be harder to catch Ghosts with him.

Yeah, I actually forgot to mention that he will have lower HP then Luigi does considering how old he is. Now that you mention it, I'll make E. Gadd faster, but it will be harder to catch ghosts with him.
