SM64: Warped Worlds Info

Development And History

The Original Project

Devlopment of the original Warped Worlds project started in mid-July, 2020 led by Jefftastic. In this time, he made several
areas such as Flying Fortres, Hollow Horror Halls, and very early versions of His Domain, Internal Garden, and Bowser's Lair.
As he was developing the project, he showcased parts of it in an "SM64: Classified" type series which showcased the project as a
personalized version of SM64. After making these areas and showcasing them, he shed the personalized copy ruse and showcased
the project as "His personalized Copy". It had gained a fair amount of traction by November, and in this time Jefftastic remastered
his older areas and made new ones such as Elder Koopa's Library, Bowser's Broken Realm, a new version of Delicious Cake, Dafodil
Meadow, and many more areas. By December, he decided to switch to decomp and began porting areas in the binary builds to decomp
while making a few new areas. Some new areas were a demo lobby, a new version of Dafodil Meadow with 4 new stars and a new cave
subarea. By March, he decided to remaster the first version of Flying Fortress which was extremly different from the current
version and add it as an easter egg level. Soon after finishing an almost if not completed version, he cancelled the project
on March 21st, 2021 and released the source code as well as several major builds.

The Pink Rain Era

This was the last we saw of Warped Worlds until around late 2022, when MariHalo announced a revival of the decomp version called
"Super Mario 64: Pink Rain". Unfortunately, nearly all info about development was lost with the deletion of his discord server in
2024, however thanks to a leaked version which had nearly everything in the final private build we can see that many areas in the
binary builds had been ported with the artstyle changed to the grayscale seen in the decomp version and they also had a few new
changes not seen prior to this. Although it is very unfinished and I am not a fan of the grayscale art style, it is cool to see
an alternate vision and what Warped Worlds could have been had development continued under Jefftastic's lead. After this
cancellation, many assumed that this was the final end of Warped Worlds.

My Revival And It's Development

Development of my first successful revival started in December 2024, where I started adding more stars and attempting to port
the content exclusive to the binary builds to decomp. My success was limited due to the source code being very messy, so I soon
canceled it silently and worked on another project (for more info read the page about my older projects). However, I revisited
this in Feburary and resumed development in binary, and I made much more progress. The first few weeks, I attempted to bump up the
existing Dafodil Meadow to 6 stars plus a 100 coin star by adding more objects and new areas. I eventually gave up however, which
led to me creating the new model which draws inspiration from both previous revisions of Dafodil Meadow that can be seen in
my current release of "Warped Worlds: Anniversary Edition". After finishing this, I tweaked Cold Cold Crevasse and bumped it's
star count up to 6 plus the 100 coin star. This essentially finished adding all of the new stars to Warped Worlds Anniversary
Edition, so I began remaking a Grayscale Garden area only seen in an image by Jefftastic. I also made a few new areas which were
all important to the lore, which I unfortunately can't talk much about at the moment. With all of this finished, I released
"Warped Worlds Anniversary Edition", and that takes us here to the present day. As time goes on, I will record the development
proccess here, but for now this summarizes all of the development.
