Am I the only one who saw that and instantly thought Spring Yard?

And yes, the purple does look flat. So, MaximusDM... how's that personal learning experience called lighting coming along?

Spring Yard has a very similar color scheme, it is just swapped from background to foreground. I wanted to do some Sonic 1 levels but looking at them seemed so bland with no real point of interest.

I tried using more ambient light as I think Gambit suggested, but it does give it more of a flat look. This was rendered in two layers, the foreground and background. The back posts were then darkened in photoshop. But maybe its better that it looks flatter? I don't know.

I just remembered something. Remember that Death Egg mock-up that inspired the whole project in the first place? Well, that guy did a CPZ mock-up as well. It might be useful for some inspiration.

I'd like it better if he used classic Sonic instead.

But it's still kinda cool.

Looking at the CPZ background there and part of the platform on the right, I'm like 99% sure those are just the original sprites with some filters, blurring, and fog to mask it up a bit more.
