Not bad for a start!
However, I must make a note of:
-Title screen is obvious glitched. Also music does not fit at all.
-GHZ music fits, but... could use a bit of PSG work IMO.
-Blue GHZ is a bit overused.
-<3 GHZ layout.
-</3 MZ art. Colors aren't very good, also sky and FG.

Keep it up!

I don't know why, but I love the background in GHZ.

It's a beta, and I'll fix it after vacation.

Nineko's port, but I'm not blaming him, I can't use xm4smps at all.

-Blue GHZ is a bit overused.

I guess I could change the BG to a sunset. EDIT: Fix'd

-<3 GHZ layout.

-</3 MZ art. Colors aren't very good, also sky and FG.

I'll change it after vacation.


EDIT: Ok, I worked on the GHZ palette a bit. What do you think?

I like the game so far, slight work on the background in Marble Zone Act 2 from what I saw as I played but so far its very good. I also love the Sonic and Knuckles Sandtopolis music for Marble Zone, very nice.

=(

I think he was talking about the foreground.

Yeah, the problem is trying to find a good color that will go well with green grass that isn't brown. Otherwise, it just looks like GHZ restructured. Its annoying. Keep trying, though.

As for MZ, I have to do a complete overhaul on it.


Maybe for both I'll get some inspirations on vacation. After 6:00 P.M. today I won't be able to work on anything.

I like that palette.
Since there's mostly water in the background, how about adding a bit of underwater sections, not as deep and as complex as the Labyrinth zone? That would harmonize all the layers and make your first zone unique compared to the other hacks.

Also, the blue palette you were using before was nice so why not making different daytimes every act (like in Sonic Pixel Perfect) ?

I'll try both, but I'm only 11 yrs old so don't expect any major ASM things.

Also, new pic!




EDIT:Okay so I've been messing around with ghz trying to load water but it just refuses to. The level loads pefectly fine without freezing, but it just won't load the water!


Here's my code.

CODE

Level_ClrVars3:
        move.l    d0,(a1)+
        dbf    d1,Level_ClrVars3; clear object variables

        move    #$2700,sr
        bsr.w    ClearScreen
        lea    ($C00004).l,a6
        move.w    #$8B03,(a6)
        move.w    #$8230,(a6)
        move.w    #$8407,(a6)
        move.w    #$857C,(a6)
        move.w    #$9001,(a6)
        move.w    #$8004,(a6)
        move.w    #$8720,(a6)
        move.w    #$8ADF,($FFFFF624).w
        move.w    ($FFFFF624).w,(a6)
        clr.w    ($FFFFC800).w
        move.l    #$FFFFC800,($FFFFC8FC).w
        cmpi.b    #1,($FFFFFE10).w; is level LZ?
        bne.s    ghz_water; if not, branch
        move.w    #$8014,(a6)
        moveq    #0,d0
        move.b    ($FFFFFE11).w,d0
        add.w    d0,d0
        lea    (WaterHeight).l,a1; load water    height array
        move.w    (a1,d0.w),d0
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF646).w; set water heights
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF648).w
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF64A).w
        clr.b    ($FFFFF64D).w; clear    water routine counter
        clr.b    ($FFFFF64E).w; clear    water movement
        move.b    #1,($FFFFF64C).w; enable water

ghz_water:
        cmpi.b    #0,($FFFFFE10).w; is level ghZ?
        bNE.s    Level_LoadPal; if not, branch
        move.w    #$8014,(a6)
        moveq    #0,d0
        move.b    ($FFFFFE11).w,d0
        add.w    d0,d0
        lea    (WaterHeight).l,a1; load water    height array
        move.w    (a1,d0.w),d0
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF646).w; set water heights
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF648).w
        move.w    d0,($FFFFF64A).w
        clr.b    ($FFFFF64D).w; clear    water routine counter
        clr.b    ($FFFFF64E).w; clear    water movement
        move.b    #1,($FFFFF64C).w; enable water

Help?

I really, really don't like the layout in GHZ. The object placement is strange, random and at some times doesn't make any sense at all. (Impossible waterfalls, floating bridges, bridges attached to rocks, random nothingness, strange spike placement, choppers jumping out from platforms?)

NEW VERSION

V1.0 http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=dd5b2d8...04e75f6e8ebb871

Fixes:
Title screen Fix'd
GHZ Palette changed
MZ BG Made 10x Better
GHZ Layout slightly edited

[Metal Knuckles]

By "slightly edited" do you mean you got rid of the wocky collision blocks, made the level more speed friendly, got rid of obstacles that require jumping on enemies to pass, and fixed it so tiles don't cut off suddenly and don't just start out of nowhere? Because, you know, those things needed to be fixed.

[D.A. Garden]

Would you mind fixing this?



If you spindash at the start of a level really quickly, you warp to the end (This only works after you've completed an act or died before trying this from start up).

Yeah, I know, I'm not sure why that happens. I just used the Sonic 1 Spindash source code. Any ideas?
