I'm also thinking of putting Dynamic SS music, but I'm afraid of being called a "OMG MEGAMIX COPYCAT LOLOLOLOL"

If you be creative with the music selection for the Special Zones, I think it hasn't problem on use the feature.

Well... Great work, man! The MZ art is great.
But sincerely I haven't paid much attention on the hack as all...
I just take a look on some things. I like the songs you're using.
I will play fully your game and I promise to post more detailed info next time.

Thanks Eduardo Knuckles!

Also, I wasn't very happy with my GHZ art at all. So.

New.

The plants at the background look quite repetitive. Also the waterfall looks too square, try to round the top corners or something.

GHZ and SYZ:

The waterfalls look nice, but the top looks too...flat. Love the horizon-like sky!

Also those mountains in SYZ look awesome.

I really like the artwork in this hack, with the mix of Sonic CD and Sonic 1. The edges of the waterfall still look a little odd though, but it's still good.

Left: At first, I didn't like the new art for GHZ but now that you improved it, it looks nice.
Right: I like a lot but I'd love to see the buildings from the good future version of Collision Chaos in there. New art would be nice on the foreground too

I like the background of the two levels, but it would be nice if the foreground was changed too.

Blue Emerald · Aug 9, 2009

I love the background for Spring Yard; Collision Chaos in autumn looks much more fitting for this level than the original Sonic 1 BG, as a matter of fact.

That sky in Green Hill gives that zone more life, and more life is what a green zone needs the most.

Nice job with these so far.

You see, I have new BG art for pratically every zone (except SBZ and MZ - I will explain SBZ later). So I'm focusing on improving the ones I already have.

I wasn't very happy with the SLZ bg I had, and seeming that I finally learned how to port backgrounds, I've updated it.

Here is it. I hope you liek it.

Now to explain about SBZ. See, SBZ foreground and background shares few 8x8 tiles. To port a bg, you need to remove 8x8 tiles of the old bg. If I remove them, I fuck the FG. So yeah. SBZ is most likely not having a new background.

Icewarrior · Aug 14, 2009

ooooooh fucking nice. Could you try to use a different colour from the purple? It would be a nice touch to the Stardust Speedway bad future.

Something like this perhaps

Master3k · Aug 14, 2009

I liked the blue, but not much the yellow. It fitted perfectly.

UtopiaUK · Aug 14, 2009

No matter what the colour I think that background is an excellent piece of work.

Maybe something like this, then?

Master3k · Aug 17, 2009

Not really new. But as a said, I'm improving art and all.

Is it better than the old, bluish bg?

Also new zone name.

EDIT:

Changed to that. Looks great.

Looks nice, but now it looks like an Ice cave. That is cool but I don't think thats what your going for.

Love the SLZ background with the blue building lights. However, that looks more fitting to the "Shining" name your using for the LRZ.

Icewarrior · Aug 17, 2009

Hmm, somehow, I prefer the old version for now...
Also, glad you keep the blue SLZ zone

I agree with this; the pink gave the art a little more variation and the contrast between it and the blue looked quite nice.

Master3k · Aug 18, 2009

I've read all comments of you guys.

From what I see:

-The blue looks like ice;
-The square-with-circle-thing-inside, blue, makes the palette "boring";
-Palette needs variation.

So I've took all suggestions and tried to do a different palette.

-The blue has been toned a bit down and I removed some green from it
-The square thing is reverted to pink (exactly the same color from Sonic CD (I have its project files))
-Palette is variated (BG is purple-ish, square thing is pink, blocks are blue. I think that's a great variation).

Comments plz

I like it! But can't you bring back that ornament from the previous version? This one:

Besides this, it's pretty much awesome.
