Marble Blast Platinum

Currently we're working on a heavy modification project named "Marble Blast Platinum". This project will change the look of Marble Blast Gold completely. From the small messages that appear throughout the game, to new interiors, friction surfaces, missions and lots more, this project will be something great to look for. Check my profile every few days for new updates regarding this modification!

The following people work on this modification:
Matan - level creation, sounds, coding (GUI, friction surfaces, Java), text messages (all text that appears in game), videos, pictures and credits/help [writing them].
Phil - Music, level creation, coding (GUI), QuArK (interiors), logo, textures, screenshots and movie trailer. In charge of converting the GUI to Mac in order to make MBP Mac compatible.
Jase - Graphics, level creation, QuArK (interiors), logo, textures, skyboxes and music.

This modification will be available for PC and MAC users only!

Progress - What has been done


* Levels:
3 Beginner levels completed (no levels under construction)
4 Intermediate levels completed (no levels are under construction)
0 Advanced levels completed (4 levels under construction)
0 Expert levels completed (2 levels under construction)

NEWS:
Per request from me, Phil and I decided that there will be no limit on the number of levels that will be created for Marble Blast Platinum. The old limit was 6 Expert levels and 10 Advanced/Intermediate/Beginner levels.

NEWS:
There is a level competition where 7 community levels will be converted from MBG to MBP. As the volunteer to convert the levels, you'll see such levels converted from the old interiors to the new style of Marble Blast Platinum!

MBP Multiplayer Map - Even though we will not have multiplayer, we shall be creating a new multiplayer map to play around!

Time Travel -> Time Modifier
Super Speed -> Speed Booster
Super Jump -> Jump Boost
Super Bounce -> Marble Recoil

* Textures:
18 new textures which had been created for MBP. Phil is going to remake the textures into 3-D, so it's gonna be great!
New: Phil has re-made some MBG textures to look even better. I wish I could show them better on my vids :D

* Interiors:
4 new level interiors have been created (1 per level). As well, 11 new interiors have been created [2x2 tiles, 3x3, 3x1, 1x1 and 3x4] for two new levels as well as for the public!

* Sounds and Music:
We currently plan on making totally new sounds and music!
Update - Phil has finished the Marble Blast Platinum theme song and trust me, it sounds awesome!

I'll post here some pictures once we have some new marble skins and a new skyboxes, but that will be available in a month from now. Until then: levels, GUI, sounds/music and coding will being!

I made the installer but its to big it will take like 14 hours to upload think its more than 1 g so i cant put it on filefront and if i upload it it will take to long to download and besides this installer installs MU

You said the installer is 105 mbs, thats well enough into filefront.

There should be another place with over 1gb too.

I don't mind. Besides, I have a good internet connection, so 105mbs usually finish within 10-15 mins of download. My record is 7 minutes for 117mbs download.

I'll send luke an invite to gmail you get 2 Gig of storage and he can give us all the password to the account

12/02/2006 (3:57 pm)
All the password what are you doing
#51

He means that:

You make a gmail account and get 2gb storage (enough to upload installer)
now, since you cannot give out the link (only the person who has stored the file can see it and download it), you need to post here your account and password.
We use the password to be able to get on your gmail account and be able to download the file.
