Since the other topic got locked, I'm making a new one... this time is for the Hacking Contest Download I bet this one is not going to count, because I already uploaded a ROM, but with the old stuff, this one has new stuff like the Title Screen (WIP), and a new BG in the first level. Layout by MarkeyJester, with random edits by me (engine differences) [If I'm actually too late, trash this then] EDIT: silly me, debug mode was enabled by default, download again [seriously, if this topic is too stupid, trash plz]
I like the title screen, but what's the deal with the "my little pony's"? EHZ background seems to be missing something. Maybe clouds? The HUD is cool, but I'd like to see how many rings I have. Other than that, looks great. EDIT: I didn't Play this with any sound at the time. Those explosions are a bit annoying. And the sound effects are..... odd.
Ok, at first I was like "Wow, amazing art tweaks". Then I was like "Yeah Rainbow Dash, YEEAAHH, TAKE THAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT". Then I was like "Oh gawd my ears". And then I closed my emulator. The constant explosion sounds, that sound like a 12 years old blowing into a $2 headset made me go nuts only after a short while. I'd really like to play this hack, but I can't really stand horribly broken sound at all. I hope you fix that soon.
How is it for the Hacking Contest when it's a different build altogether and the submitted build is only for the judges? I also agree about the explosions. They're horribly obnoxious. If you care so much about them, only have them play when in the proximity of the badnik, otherwise it's pointless.
In the proximity of the explosion may be a better idea. The explosion could have happened far away from where Sonic is but the badnik be right next to him =P
Forget about the ponies (evil as they may be), those are about the strangest set of sound effects I've ever heard in a hack. The background and music choices are cool, though, and Waddle Dee alone just made this hack a bit more playable.
1-Time Use Spring. That's all, It blew my mind. Also, lol at the EWJ Sounds on the bumpers... And the background was nice to see it on a level (add the Beta CD Clouds and it would look better).
OKAY, this will fixed in next release *takes note* That's it, this is the first AND LAST time I ever join a hacking contest, I just suck at scenes.
I must make note, I really like the one-time springs. Like, adding a little fan under them would be even more awesome.
I'm not sure if this was only directed at SOTI or everyone. Either way, I'm horribly sorry if I offended you by this in any way. I tried to be a little funny, with (possibly) over-the-top humor, which was easly misunderstandable. I liked what I saw so far very much, it's just those explosion sounds that made the game virtually unplayable for me without muting the sound. Once again sorry.
I can see some potential in this hack. You use some pretty interesting ideas. I like the speed shoes timer and the single-use springs in particular. But yeah, the flaws that need to be fixed ASAP have already been covered by the others here, so I don't really need to restate them.
Whoa, hold on. There is no reason for that. Honestly, the only thing anyone complained about was the "sound effects." The art tweeks are awesome! The additions are cool. It is just the explosion sounds that need attention. It really is an interesting hack so far. KEEP AT IT.
Um I think he read that post wrong. o.O SOTI asked if this is a different build from the partial-private build (since he entered his hack as "partially private"), and is wondering why he released a public build. Though I agree on the sound effects, and the background in EHZ hurts my eyes. x.X But I love the music and art.
Just decided to give this a whirl. As mentioned before, there's a lot going for this hack, and I personally think the dislike around the explosion sound has been a bit....blown out of proportion. (hurr durr witty pun.) Not to say it shouldn't be changed if it's in the works to be changed, but don't go thinking it's worse than it actually is. Please do keep going with this, as I would like to see what else you can come up with. It's a good start. EDIT: After watching Supakitsune's vid, the explosion sound seems worse there than it does while I'm playing on Fusion. Another Edit: Hoping you add something to the top of the BG. With no HUD there, it does feel really empty.
Well, I honestly have to agree with most of the people, and I only find interesting few stuff ( I don't have intentions to offend you, really ) Other thing I have to say is that some art here is made by Zana, like the Sonic in the title screen, and this: http://imgkk.com/I/_r-0.png (replace the I with the lowercase) This is other thing I want you to look at: http://www.sonicpros.com/t1691-sonic-world-fusion And by the way, if you keep claiming that art as your own, Zana will rip your head off. Regardless, there are few impressive ASM changes in the game. Congratulations for the few stuff I see nice here.
