i started again a while ago. been working on a hack now for about 2
years on and off. you can see some screens here:

and here:

http://acmlm.overclocked.org/board/thread.php?id=27159

you may have to scroll down past the posts to see some of them. and
some of them are outdated. i released a demo a while back but i've
done a lot of work since then and the new demo (next few weeks) will
totally eclipse it.

i'm also working on importing MM screens into mario, too, like i
mentioned before.

i started two games, with various versions of the editor. but i
decided to wait for dan to finish it before i started a game proper,
because i would start something and then he'd change the engine, and
i'd have to start over ;)

but really, there's so little time and so many things to do, i think
i should just stick to mario for now.
