    I'm just getting sick and tired. It seems everytime I try to do something people try to knock me down. My life isn't all happy go lucky. I have real problems. Between my health, My debt, My car repairs and other important things. I just want to be at peace and not have problems arise like they seem to do.

    You shouldn't be hacking for recognition from others or to get techie status, etc. You should be hacking because you want to, because it's enjoyable and fun.

    People don't like something? Tough titties to them. That's the attitude of "successful" hackers, because they enjoy what thye do for themselves, not for everyone else.

    That's what I am saying. I do this because it's a hobby and I enjoy it. I just tire of the constant bullshit. I've had this idea for this game for the 8 years I've been hacking Sonic and I plan to finish it.

    Hey, every time you say that there's a demo coming up there never is. There doesn't need to be a set deadline for things, although when on strict daily deadlines things can turn out good (see: PsychoSk8r's 30 Day Project). Just work on the hack until are ready to release something and keep it quiet.

    I know that this post is pretty obvious, but yeah.

    Who mentioned the past? It's the core of the problem people have with me. Regardless as to what it's about. I'm not stupid when it comes to things like this. anyways I'm not tarnishing my thread with useless bickering. This thread is for S4/Cyb and I will post updates from here on out.

    As far as I can see here, no one has said anything of the sort.
     
  10. Hey man, forget about the past. I had problems too back then, if anyone remembers me back as Andrew the Hedgehog. No one else mentions that, and I doubt it affects what people now think of me. If anyone brings it up, who cares, just ignore them.

    Also, really been looking forward to the hack. Funny I mention back then, that's about as long as I've been watching this! (After I first got banned, I attempted to make a second account solely for the purpose of keeping an eye on this. Then I got IP banned)

    The only issue I find here is that you update very frequently with something minor that we can't really take as something great, It's like waiting 5 minutes for Firefox to update something as simple as an icon having 1 pixel changed. As an example, having "new Level handling system for transitions" although awesome damn strait, we have yet to see it in action and because we can't, it just appears from our point of view that you're making a big fuss and showing yourself as genius and tech-worthy out of nothing.

    All I'm saying is, you might want to stretch your updates out a bit, don't be so frequent with them, show something major but only if you have it to show, seeing is believing. + - Hell I'd option for a full level done (design, gimmicks, programming, maybe a boss) being shown on a youtube video as a proper update!

    Good point Markey. I shall keep updates more stretched out.

    Sync: Not yet.

    True Dude: Yeah I'm just a bit paranoid it seems because of how much 'Chaos' happen back then.

    Ehh.. it's not even a case of stretching your updates out.. Something like level area transitions, while sounding awesome, is as simple as a new byte in RAM and making new indexes or using said byte in increasing the size of existing ones, with additional "transition" code for display. It isn't the biggest of things in writing, when you think about it, but if you actually show it off with a video, that's something worth updating about.

    Point taken. I forgot to clarify a lot and it was pretty bland, A video would definitely do it more justice. I will get one done sooner or later and post it.

    Just wanted to let people know it's not dead. I've been working but I've also been busy with my own Business in the real world so I will be posting video up as soon as I can. What's a good way to make a video? I've been out of the loop for awhile now :P.

    You can dump an AVI using Kega Fusion. That's a starting point. Remember to install its supplied codec. =P

    You should've waited two more days before making that announcement. :P

    Good to hear though. I've always wondered what happened here.

    Alright Thanks.

    Yeah I've been so busy, I moved back to SC and opened up a Business making car parts. Though I'm on my own schedule with it thankfully. I won't be revealing too many updates just yet but I am planning to hopefully get a Working beta soon showing what I was working on last year. Couple new Bosses in programming too right now.
