World 9: Halo Ringworld/Edge of Beyond Official Map Expansion
By Impish, McStarken and The MK Fusion Community

user posted image

The Halo world has recently had a bit of turmoil, with the need for a bigger map, then the switch of focus, things have been a little chaotic. but now everything has come together now that we have this beutiful map for
world 9.
It all started when i came across the finish the fight halomap. Made by Mcstarken over on Deviant art

I quckly Pmed God, err i mean Judgespear and he gave a green light. So i opened the halo world expansion topic on my birthday and there were severel submissions but mr3urious' was the most seamless, so i went with that. I used some pictures of planets provided by people on that topic, as u can see by the planets in the middle. EDIT: Recently Rising manes provided us with a new base map, but i havent been here since the middle of december because i was on holiday. lots of edits , mostly coming from mr3urios , who is a leonardo with photoshop, have come out and the last one from mr3urios was chosen. because so many ideas and edits have been given by different peepz i can proudly call this a MKfusion reactor community production.

The level list will be sorted out when the admins decide how many they want and program the map ingame. until then, suggest ideas for levels that can go here, and some might be used!

Looks great! What are the extra planets?
Impish
they arent at all specific, they will share levels.
mr3urious
I like how all the planets are crowded together. You can thank the Fusionists for screwing up the order of the universe! laugh.gif

Here's a little idea:

World 9-1: Liftoff! (Level tile on the earth)
The coalition is ready to blast off into the infinite depths of space. This is sort of an introduction level that sets up the rest of the world. They start on the ground at a space center with a huge rocket/spaceship docked. They must climb the massive tower of spaceship/metal scaffolding to reach the door to the inside at the very top. With each new area the sky fades more and more away going from peaceful blue sky to space backdrop. Legions forces of course aren't going to make takeoff easy though and will be looking to prevent the Coalition from boarding.

You enter the spaceship into the cockpit with the flag in front of the controls. Touch flag and cue victorious end level music. The Coalition takes off into space for their ninth world intergalactic journey!
Snow Villiers
like the idea man a small easy level to ease you into the new world
Bloodgrey
Could we add there Planet Idznak or should it stay in Minus World?

Those who don't know I talk about the The Neverhood/Skullmonkeys subquest.
Snow Villiers
oh yeah i saw that topic i loved skullmonkeys
Impish
once the level designers and programmers have desided how many levels are going to be in, then we'll say which ones are going to be in, but we arent going to have a seperate planet for each level, thats just silly.
Bloodgrey
Also maybe The Jim Dandy should be added.

Planet Idzank is a subquest what means not 1 but 5-6 levels.
Check it's topic for the informations about it, I also have a screenshot of Planet Idzank.
Theused
You should have added a phobos near earth for some doom levels

aww no mention of all the work i did

what work did ya do?
Slit_Zurifa
Psycho_Cid removed all the unnecessary objects from the original map to make it usable for MKF!
@ theused: I donnot agree with your idea. There shouldn't be any Doom-level in world 9, as Doom is represented in World 4.
BTW nice work. I would suggest that someone makes a map tiles set for World 9 which could be used in v0.3.
Greetings
Impish
no, you see phscyco cid's was a submission, mr3urios was another submission which was more seamless then phsyco cid's entry. so i chose
mr3urios

Even better, this could be an epic Shmups level.
Impish
well, i dont see why we cant have a couple of shmups levels in the halo world. there should only be a couple tho, because shmups already have an entire world.

These maps are 10 kinds of sexy!

I know that the Orange/Blue planet in the middle is Aether from Metroid Prime two (or something like that), so maybe a Metroid level would work there.

Also, some DooM 3 levels would work better here than in World 4, seeing as World 4 doesn't have a space theme.

Do i smell an epic second battle with the cyberdemon?

And yes,I was thinking doom 3 as well,
But we'd need mars.

Unless it's already on there and i am not noticing it.

Planet Idznak.

I added Idznak to the map:

Do you think the shadows on the planets need to be adjusted to face the same way as Earth? You know, to look a little less awkward (even if the universe is supposedly intended to be in a shambles)?

UPDATE: I smoothed out the purple lines a bit on the bottom left ring. Also, when you use this in the game, you might want to enlarge it to about 1000x800 so that we have enough room for the map icons.
Impish
that map is good, but the programmers have already begun to program the three planet map into the game. the planets are going to share levels. i just want to make that clear to every one , the planets will share levels!
Mike Arcade
Holy Shit O_o

That's a HUGE Improvement over The Original Map, A lot of stuff has happend sence I've been gone!
RisingManes
You're all so impatient! I thought the contest was until February, Impish!

I worked extra hard for the last few days. Put the planets into this.
mr3urious
Wow, excellent job! However, you need to erase the whitish/reddish at the very top of the planet Earth.

Now we can actually put Castle Wolfenstein into Germany!

Thanks... though Impish's impatience killed my motivation to put the planets in and stuff. If Impish decides to use this instead of the other one, though, I will; I still have the PSD file.
mr3urious
All right, I updated it!

user posted image

I added the planets, including Idznak from Skullmonkeys (shouldn't hurt to add that), all of which have a distorted effect around them. I also added the star Sirius near Earth.
RisingManes
That works rather nicely, mr3rious, though it's a shame to see the stars distorted... ah well.

I really wanted to show off, huh? Ah well. At least this means a better map! (I would've liked to see fading effects around the planet.)

Well, Hopalongtom requested the distortion effects.
Ultimate Gamer
The map looks realy good, better than the first draft! Also, are the stars distorted because of Legion or something?

All those planets are swiped from different galaxies, whose difference in energy levels are causing the starfields to warp (that's the best explanation I could come up with tongue.gif ).
Shard
Impressive. I may have an idea for that Star you added in.
Clark
The Library and the WB level should be on the partially destroyed Halo.
mr3urious
Second update!

I added SR-388 for the Metroid II level.
Ben66
Lol, Planet Idznak. It's nice to have silly space levels balance out the other serious ones.

Space Channel 5, Space Quest, Skullmonkeys and Earthworm Jim VS Halo, Metroid, Contra, and Turrican. This should be interesting.
Ultimate Gamer
Wow. So it can be assumed that World 9 (The Edge of Beyond) would be the largest, or at least, second largest world map in the game, next to the Mushroom Kingdom?

Not sure. I just posted a large image so that the devs can resize it as they see fit.

...maybe Mew can answer. *sees him reading the topic*

Awesome! I was about to ask SR-388 be added in. Looks excellent!

I figured we could use Ripple Star, because it would be a means to fight Zero. I also added Mars, which looks pretty damn close to Stroggos.
Clark
Y'know it would be cool if there was a level in space itself (as in not on a planet). It would also be cool if there was some sort of LIFTOFF! level on Earth to kick off the world.
HolyShadow87
I really like how the maps looking it really give the affect of plants being fused into the same universe. That being said I know that heart shape place is tied to a game but it really looks off and doesn't match the feel of the image.

Wait, are Kirby levels going to be in this World, or World 8? I honestly think it should be in the Edge of Beyond, but then again, the place is apparently getting cramped...

You mean Ripple Star from Kirby 64?

Yeah, I know. But it was the only good image I could find.

Here's a different map without Ripple Star. I also added a different image of Mars, along with its moons Phobos and Deimos.

UPDATE: I got RS to look a little better with everything else (at least that's how I see it), but I don't want to post it directly onto this thread, so I'll just link it.

I spy Tallon IV... does that mean there's a possiblity of a Metroid Prime final boss level? biggrin.gif Maybe even Dark Samus making an appearance?

What? I love Metroid.

Welcome to the Reactor, Razanak. Read the guidelines and stuff. Yeah, I'd like to see a Metroid Prime level, too.
Paulomedi
Are all the planets in a collision course? It would be good to prevent it! smile.gif

There could be a level that blended aspects of all planets (landscapes, enemies).

I don't know if Tallon IV is planned, but Frigate Orpheon has been talked about, complete with the Parasite Queen.
Ben66
Kirby levels will pretty much be in Realm of Nintendo only, with some exceptions being a fusion level in World 4 and a level or two in World 5's secret map.
The Qu
So I take it my idea for the Milky Way Wishes level is shot down?
Slit_Zurifa
Did you really mean World 4 ben? Cause I can hardly think of a kirby stage in the Demon Realm! You actually meant the Helberd level, which will be a regular stage in world 5.
Ben66
DOOMstar is a Kirby/DOOM fusion level planned for World 4, which will have a demonic Dedede as the boss.

Qu: No, just that the level may be moved to Gehenna's second map.
The Qu
Ok. It made so much sense for a level set in space to be in world 9 though.
Impish
hi guys, sorry about the recent lack of posts on my part but ive been away for a long time. that last edit of rising manes looks great, so i'm going to send it to JS to be programmed. sorry bout my impatience rising manes but mr3urios'/psycho cid's seemed like it couldnt be beat. i was rong.
Slit_Zurifa
Necro post ftw. blink.gif
Nevertheless I just wanted to suggest the Contra III stage we recently saw on youtube (I don't remember the developer's name) to get into world 9 as it would perfectly fit there... just like the Energy Zone from Obreck.
Greetings.
AuraLancer
This would be the thread where you post the level list in the first post.

Right?
Impish
Yeaaaah, ok il se to that riyt now, but im not so up to date so il need sum help. also, BAD GRAMER FTW biggrin.gif
Del
Sorry for being annoying, and this topic happened before I registered, sorry if this post is out of place, don't flame me, that pic is perfect for the Halo World but...

I don't think the Earth should be there, because of the storyline, World 2 is the alternate Earth (the real world), and world 3 is it's future, so... it would be there again in world 9? Or does it have something to do with the story line like lots of planets including Earth got sucked in close because of Legion's works?

Just my opinion!! But I think the Earth should be changed for something else, perhaps one of Metroid's planets, or the Metroid Fusion space station, or a Black Hole, a Galaxy, a comet... a ship or something?
Xavier Genisi
1) Just because it looks like Earth, doesn't mean it HAS to be Earth.

2) Haven't you ever heard of alternate realities? That's the basis of Alternate Earth. It's not called "Earth", it's called "ALTERNATE Earth". It might use the same, or a similar basis for the setting, but it's not exactly Earth as we know it.
Del
Looks like Earth but it does NOT have to be Earth, humm lol O.K. indeed, thanks for explaining so nicely.
The Qu
It needs to be Earth for the levels in the world that take place on Earth, like the Black Mesa Research Facility and the Aperture Science Enrichment Facility.
ZeroFollower0
this is insanity. at this rate JS might be able to make this game complete in a year and have half of a secound game O.o. anyways back on track new map is F'ing COOL. i can see new worlds... literally lol. what i mean is those planets can hold other levels that use to be stuck in minus world. we can have Kirby mixed here insted of Realm of Nintendo cus kirby always had to do with planets. or focused on his own. but its still a thought. that and we can get earthworm jim a planet now lol. side question whats the next map to be edited tongue.gif .
