Graphics

My biggest problem with the current Amy, if we have her in the game, is that she still looks too much like Sonic - her proportions are nearly identical. Even in Sonic CD, Amy looked a lot different than Sonic in terms of size and shape. Here I've tweaked her face to make it look more feminine/"innocent"/young, made her slightly shorter, gave her smaller shoes, and made her quills smaller:

Feel free to use it as a base if we do use her. :v:

 

Hey, thanks again! I see what you're saying there. I didn't like the face on my old one either.
Now Here's comparison of all versions, inlucindg PC2's face revision, and one of my own that I didn't get a chance to thrwo up yet:

I think that PC2's face revision is the best, and I may go with it, I'll just have to give a pixel back to her torso(I shortened her torso in my Rev. B, and then used the same body.) I also changed the pose because this new one gives it a more innocent flare while maiking it easier to work with. I also shrank her right foot by a pixel, so it looks less akward.

Now I'm stuck though. Should we use the CD Pink, or this new Pink that I came up with?
Also, should I give a pixel back to her torso on the PC2 rev. B?

P.S. Thanks again PC2. You found a core problem underlying Amy's bleeding hues and strange growth spurt. Maybe that's why it looked really unprofessional...

 

I notice a severe lack of springs in this project.


It's [supposed to be] a hybrid of Sonic 1's and Sonic CD's springs. Feel free to make a diagonal version if needed. :P

 

What about these..? :x

 

What happened to those springs that had diferent styles for different levels? I kind of liked those ones if they could be changed to fit the level themes we have at the moment.

 

They're somewhere on this forum. I'll go have a route through if you haven't found them before I have.

 

They was based in sonic 1 levels.

Also, if we change them too much, we will break the chain :/
In every sonic games (Genesis) have been same spring style.

 

Actually, the style of springs changed every single game, including Sonic CD and Chaotix (games outside of the mainstream "series").

Research before claims, methinks?

Those actually look kinda nice...


If we end up having Amy appear in this game, then we should use something like these.

Sure, but could we tone down that highlight around the mouth just a tad? I almost thought those highlights were teeth at first glance.

Also, those springs look perfect, Cinossu! However, I too was wondering about those zone-specific spring designs. If these are going to be our main springs, though, maybe we could use these and color-coordinate them for the different zones? (I.e. green and red for tropical zone, red and orange for maple zone, blue and orange for city zone) Y'know, if we do that, we could also make some more color variants on these springs, to provide more variety to the springs.

 

Either way there is no reason why our springs can't have an added animation depending on the level, Ice cap had the ice block to break why not in the autumn level have springs that flings up leaves the first time you jump on it? etc...

I really like those. A bit more work and it could be perfect. Maybe try making her face look distinctly different and not so Sonic 3sih? Also tinker with the shades of pink. Looks a bit too "fluffy" for Genesis style.

LOVING how Sonic looks. Perfect shade of blue and design. You guys really nailed it by making him look a lot different and not a complete Sonic 3 clone. I'm a little iffy about that "catch a bubble" and his "lose a life" pose though. Those could use some work.

EDIT: Actually looking over this again it looks like Sonic uses the Sonic 3 body as a base for most of these poses. Surely this isn't the final product, is it?

A very interesting concept of having different colour springs, but what will each of them do differently?

 

I hope not. I've never liked the dark shade of blue, eyes are too small, and it is obvious that it's just edited S3K...especially if you look at the shoes.

And about the springs, I remember hez made a fangame where blue springs act like the trampolines in Sonic Advance...that could work if it's not overused. Also maybe we could have very low powered gray springs.

 

Uh... Sonic 3's sprites were edits of Sonic 2's. For the most part, they used the same exact poses, but drawn in a different style. The same thing applied to Chaotix's version of Knuckles' sprites. It's a natural progression that, logically, makes sense to build upon—it's what the real games did, so why not here?

 

It just looks lazy in my opinion, and all you guys did was recolor the body. That's shoddy work, and from what I've seen you guys can do better then that.

It's just a suggestion, not forcing this down anyone's throat as an insult.
