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. New levels, new textures, new frictions, new terms, new hazards, new skies, new default marble, new sounds.... you get the picture. MBP will feature both a Platinum time as well as a more difficult Ultimate time.

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, QuArK, textures, screenshots and movie trailer.
Jase - Graphics, level creation, QuArK (interiors), logo, textures, skyboxes and music.
Ian - Level Building and Texturing
Andrew Sears - Level Building
Perishingflames - Testing
Robot Marble - Coding
Lonestar - Coding and Level Building
Technostick - Testing

Special thanks to the CPM Staff for helping us!

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

News!
Marble Blast Platinum is working out great! The staff is having lots of fun, lots of levels are being worked on and everything is going according to plan. We're currently working on a top-secret project that if succeeds, it will change the face of Marble Blast!

MBP is still FREE OF CHARGE for those who have MBG full version installed.

Progress - What has been done

Levels:

I think 70-75 levels were completed. Estimation of 100-150 [not including multiplayer maps] levels will be created.

GUI Textures:

We had basically finished all needed textures. Woohoo!

NEW Marble Blast Platinum TERMS:

Time Travel -> Time Modifier
Super Speed -> Speed Booster
Super Jump -> Jump Boost
Super Bounce -> Marble Recoil
Gravity Modifier -> Gravity Defyer
Shock Absorber -> Anti-Recoil
Gyrocopter -> Helicopter
Gem -> Diamond
Tornado -> Cyclone

Qualify Time -> Par Time
Gold Time -> Platinum Time
Nardo Polo -> Matan Weissman
Time Bonus -> Clock Bonuses
FINAL TIME -> YOUR TIME

Additional of new stuff:
1) Ultimate Time -> Whereas the Platinum Time seems rather easy, this one is taking skills to the max! To get Ultimate Times you have to know right path, do the right tricks, do it quickly and on some levels; flawlessly.
2) Friction Forces ->
Rug and Carpet - The surface with the most friction, roll up 45 degree slopes with ease and scale a max slope of 80 degrees
Ice - A highly hazardous surface which is slippier than Oil Slick.
Tarmac - Slightly more slippery than a normal floor
Grass - Same as MBG grass but with a fresh new look
Water - Quite high friction and is also an anti-recoil surface
Sand - Fairly high friction

Interiors and Textures -

I'm very happy to say that we have over 200 new interiors and textures (I think around 300 now) exclusive for MBP. We also have new moving platforms (custom made!).

QuArK Maps -

We shall provide MBP MAP files for users to edit and have fun around. It includes a working template for a moving platform.

YouTube Marble Blast Video Log

This is the final trailer for MBP! It shows some of the progress that has been done in this awesome modification.

My other project involvments

I'm currently the creator (and only worker) on Project C.M.B.G. (Custom Marble Blast Gold). This project is a "low-modification level", meaning that is modifies very little areas from the game.

This project contains the popular Project C.L.A. (Custom Levels Archive). This archive contains all Marble Blast levels ever released to public/created. With over 400 playable levels and hundreds of new interiors, you will surely play for hours to come on many levels and enjoy the creativity of dozens of people!
Other mini-projects change the color of objects, interiors, music and sounds, skyboxes, marble skins and others.

A 35 custom levels video run in Marble Blast Gold

Here's a rather short video showing some amazing shortcuts and paths that were thought to be impossible in several levels (like the very first one). I promise you'll enjoy it!
