Time to join all the other making huge adventures, huh?
Seeing as I have too much free time on my hands these days, I decided that for my 30th adventure I would try making something bigger than all the adventures I've seen before it - as in the adventures that had been released.
The story is tied in with my Fire Island series. How? You'll see, once it comes out.
The whole story starts in WonderFalls, where Morklin has created a museum dedicated to documenting the adventures for Wonderland's safety (not including MoFI). One night, after a new display is put in, everything is stolen, without the slightest clue as to who may have done it.
Morklin has his speculations about who did it, but the main concern is finding three lost Rainbow Coins, in order to stabilize Wonderland enough so that the other displays can be found.
Now then; some pictures - from the near-final demo version that I have.
Come on, I gotta make video game references somewhere, right?
Don't deny it - Luigi is awesome.
Is dat sum WA:MoFI areas?
Yes, it is - It's close to finished, but not quite. Still need to work on the trees and scenery.
The walls are exact to the actual area in MoFI - Hours of patience and effort does that to people
Hide-and-Seek? Maybe. This is the only other part of the WonderFalls town area that's finished. Also...
Glitchy waterfalls are glitchy *hit*
Looks like I came at this from the wrong angle. Over the abyss-filled hills...
..into the abyss-filled cavern. Joy.
Yeah, I've put this kind of effort into things.
The base of the mountain is rather cold too, I suppose.
Directions at the crossroads, which is near the base of the mountain.
Last picture - Just the view from the harbor. Very relaxed, eh?
Now then. As for why the level includes no reference in the museum to MoFI.
First off, I started on this before MoFI was released. Second off, which fits into the storyline...
The time that I was making all my Fire Island Voyage levels was during MoFI's development - so, in theory, one could say it happened at the same time as MoFI. However, that can't be possible, because in MoFI, Morklin is in WonderFalls at the Sky Machine, and in FIV, he's on the island with the others.
At one point in the level, a Stinker who's assigned to study the orange magic mentions that some fireballs recently crashed in WonderFalls - specifically, the second town area in MoFI.
Sounds familiar? Yes - in fact, it's the closest thing to a reference to MoFI in the game, along with the bridge behind the waterfalls.
However, the fireballs stopped before anyone was hurt in this case - But, come on, what's the chance of more than one huge meteor shower in a row?
What I would say about the plot to this - I considered this while developing FIV as well - is that it takes place in an alternate timeline from MoFI, where the fireballs stopped by themselves before anyone could discover the Sky Machine.
In fact, in this alternate timeline, the Sky Machine doesn't exist - the cave it's in has been sealed off as well.
To put it short - these events are seperate from MoFI, except for rare similarities.
...There, that post wasn't too long, now was it?
EDIT: Thanks to jdl for the new name: Wonderland Adventures: Mystery of the Stolen Displays.
Looks GOOD. VERY GOOD! Good storyline, senery, tile placement... Name? How about WA: MOTSD Mystery of the Stolen Displays!
