Shining Stars 3: Sanctuary of the Star Comet (Progress Thread)(Major Hack)

[pieordie1]

Well this is my 3rd full SM64 hack, Shining Stars 3: Sanctuary of the Star Comet. This will be a hack with 132 stars, 15 courses, new levels, new music and some ASM powerups and behaviors!

Story: A mysterious character has been tampering with the power of the Shining Comet. This comet passes by every year, changing various things in the kingdom. The first year, Shining Stars overtook Shine City and caused Bowser to try and make a lava bath. The next year, it caused the Sanctuary of Mirrors to be revealed, changing the already placed levels into harder ones. This year is the 151st year where the comet is stronger than usual because 151 is the number of the original Shining Stars. This causes the Shining Stars to collect at the Sanctuary of Elements. Mario has to collect these stars to gain the power to reach the comet and stop whoever is behind this.

I'm so hyped for this, your models have gotten loads more detailed, I love the plants and flowers, if possible I would help in some way, i.e improve your models than it already is. Your level design is incredible than a lot of hacks I've ever seen, the only con was just a couple of unpolished parts in the models. 
The only thing I don't really like is the waterfall texture, it's been abused by too much people so it's like another SM64 texture.

Thanks ^^. I tried to put as much detail as possible into it. Do you think you can get me a better waterfall texture? I could use one that is not transparent and one that is semi transparent.

Perhaps, these could help?

Here is course 2 of SS3, a city/beach level! This level took me about 7-8 hours total over 2 weeks.

This hack is showing so much promise! I especially liked the bits of elevated road. That seemed very Mario-esque, despite not being in a Mario game (that I've seen).
