You could possibly alter existing 3D assets to resemble the general ideas for the classic games. For example, if you were to take the textures to Planet Wisp and Chemical Plant and change the color scheme, you might possibly have something that could pass for Metropolis Zone. A few minor tweaks to the textures from Chemical Plant and possibly imported stuff from Eggmanland off of Sonic Unleashed could make a passable Scrap Brain or something. Possibly, the pathways on Chemical Plant as well as the lamp posts on Stardust Speedway might manage a decent Starlight Zone if you recolored them as well. I mean, considering that if we include stuff from already-imported levels from Colors, Unleashed, and Generations, (maybe '06 as well?) some editing might just let us manage something that could pass as a Genesis themed level. It would take a bit more work, but it might be easier than coming up with textures completely by hand.

I just now got around to trying this game out for the first time. It said there were joypad controls, so I got out mine and set it up.

Even if you don't decide to make it an update for this game (although I would love it if you did), could you consider making customizable controls a possibility in future projects? I ended up having to play with a somewhat awkward control scheme, and I ended up being completely unable to pause the game or even access any sort of menu to save. (oh god I hope this game auto-saves) If I could have edited the controls to make it so pause was Start, jump was X, special ability was Circle, and switching abilities with the shoulder buttons, I would have had a much easier time.

As a side note, I accidentally found what I'm assuming were ability debug buttons when searching for a pause function. It was kind of funny when I had the Boost ability and was talking to an NPC. Every time I hit a button to advance the text, Sonic did that little sonic-boom animation for triggering the boost, making it almost seem like Sonic was impatient enough to scare the shit out of that poor little bird to get him to hurry up.

Is there a program to generate MIDI files out of the music in a Genesis game? I want to mess with the music in the Sonic games for a project I'm working on, but I'd like something a bit more accurate than what's on VGMusic. I checked romhacking.net, but I didn't see anything and I'm not exactly sure what to look for.

Uh... I don't actually know how to use an IRC program. Also, I don't think I know much of anything I can do to help. My PC is from early '09, and has an overheating problem, so I can't do anything like modeling. I don't know any programming except for barely enough to read code and work out what it does. I don't know enough to edit it or find mistakes. The only thing I can think of that I can do right now is test things to see if they work on low-end PC's, and I don't think that's all too helpful.

I just wanted to know if the project was still going or not. I'm sorry I can't do anything to help.

I really hate to be "that guy", but I've been trying to avoid asking this for what seems like forever, and it's really bugging me...

Are there any updates to this project? Not updates as in "We're nearly done!" or "We finished this part, have some pictures!", but simply things like how development is going or what you're working on at the moment. I've been following this, just not posting because I don't know anything that would be helpful to you guys.

Anyways, I'm sorry for bugging you and asking what has to be the most annoying thing ever, but I really don't want this project to end up dead. A few days ago, a scanlation group that was translating one of my absolute favorite mangas had their website finally go down after an eternity of no updates whatsoever, so there wasn't anything like a message saying that they were finished or anything, it just stopped. I'd hate to have this happen here. If you're throwing in the towel, saying something would be nice. If you're not and I'm worrying for nothing, then confirmation would be nice as well.
