    Ow, Sonia's arms in her running animation are way too long.

    Silver's hand in the title screen still looks odd. I thought I saw a prettier sprite somewhere in this topic?

    This hack is great. Excellent sprites!!! Can't wait to actually see Silver in action and how he's been portrayed into this Sonic 1 hack (really amazing!). It would be great also like they did in Megamix, to be able to play with the new characters in the old, original game/levels.

    From what I've seen this hack looks awesome! I love the idea of putting Sonia & Silver into Sonic 1, and the sprites look absolutely amazing. Awesome stuff. Keep it up.

    Minor bump so the topic doesn't lock again.

    About time I put that seventh one in there. (Screw the ghost block)
    Thanks to Nineko for helping me with the end screen. (Damn angles)

    I'm just a link in the credits' chain, as I've been helped by Hayate on that thing first. However, glad to see that you managed to put it in. So you took the "let's keep the object numbering intact and overwrite the ghost block trigger" route, I overwrote one of the unused blocks instead.
    Still, you managed to use a good looking palette on them, so congratulations to you, I checked those palette lines with my eyes and I know for a fact that it's not easy to fit stuff there. ;)

    Ok, opinion time.

    As you have noticed in the video, Sonia's Super Twirl sprites don't rotate on loops.

    Two things to consider:

    1. Espio's don't either, and he's featured in a 2d game.
    2. Blaze's do, though the game is 2.5D

    So the question is, rotating Super Twirl sprites. Yes/No.

    making cool music no one gives a shit about
    I'd say go with rotating. It would look alot more professional.

    Man oh Man this looks awesome! The whole hack is cool, with new HUD and names. They each has their own powers, and what's this I'm hearing about a lava bug? I love challenges!

    I can't wait until this comes out, and if you decide to enter the hacking contest, I wish you luck!

    OMG MAN! I love the music! ... It was...so... soft, nice to the ear...
    Congrats about your new computer that can record videos without lag =P

    By the way, about the spin... Rotate: yeah, it will look cool.

    Ok, so since it was mentioned in the podcast, Here is White Blaster's current (and likely final) BGM

    Also, I'm going to address the issue with Silver's sprites.
    Silver is being done in a somewhat pseudo retro style due to height issues. Silver and Sonic are officially the same height, so I've been trying to keep the Silver sprites the same size as Sonic's. Sonia is taller than them both, and I've been able to work that in there too.

    If the general consensus is that they need improvement, I'll do what I can to optimize them further.

    I vote rotate, btw.

    Any information on when a demo will be officially released to the public? I have been eagerly awaiting for at least a year...

    The honest and truthful answer to that question is when it isn't broken to high hell.

    When that point is, I have no idea.

    Holy shit there is a crazy amounts of distortion (in the clipping/ear-bleeding sense) on the first 19 seconds of that mp3.
    I guess it doesn't really matter, though, because that won't happen once it's SMPSed up and in the game.

    And it's pretty cool once it's actually sounding proper.
