Special stage with red rings? Hm... Is that some kind of secret? I got all 7 normal emeralds, and the big rings stopped appearing, so I assumed it was something you had yet to implement.

By the way, since we now have a save system, you might want to make the game remember which big rings you've used, as it's easy to get all 7 emeralds on GHZ1 (that's what I did).

 

No, I was serious. When I played this I thought it's a dozen times more impressive than a simple character hack. Other people have ported Tails and Knuckles along with their special moves to Sonic 1, and you seem perfectly capable of adding buttons to do anything you want (ie. switch characters), so I don't see why it should be so hard, compared to what you've already done.

 

Besides, pressing a button to change your character is *my* shtick.

 

Hmm, looking at that screenshot of the Negative Special Stage, it seems overly red what with the red background *and* the red rings to collect.. perhaps a different pallette for the background would work out better? A little contrast between different colours would really help make those Nega-rings more noticable than they are at present - for example, a deep purple sky would still keep that 'negative' feel while making the red Nega-rings more easily distinguishable than they are at present. =P

Any art changes planned for the Nega Special Stages, BTW, or are they going to stay using the same tiles as the regular ones? =P I'd guess not, since it'd be quite a bit of work designing a new Special Stage tileset, but thought I'd ask in case it's under consideration.

BTW, the red rings ARE still Negative Rings, right? XD If not, I must sound like a right tit, going on about Negative this and that..

 

I just played the GHZ Demo. I'm very impressed.

The file select zone was very well done. I like the delete system, and I acutally have an idea for it.

Rememebr L0st's Eggman hack? Wouldn't be neat for when you pressed the delete buttion, Sonic changed to Eggman to delete files? Might not be practical to program for such a minor function, but just an idea.

Music is wonderful, as is the idea to change the time of day for zones.

I'm not a big fan of the "move at a certian speed and have the screen scroll forward". Maybe its because I'm not used to it, but it seems very awkward.

As for spindahsh and peelout, I really am not in favor of the SCD or S2 version, because I usually don't bother trying since Sonic 1 didn't need either one. Neat function though, and very unique.

 

Awesomeness with the Nega Emeralds. :P

But did you really have to make the ring boxes add/subtract 100 rings?

Doesn't that make it a bit too easy?

Nice unlockables by the way.

 

In case you're going to run out of bandwidth with a so big and so cool video, I thought to upload a copy of it on Rapidshare, just in case.
If you're not OK with this, just let me know.

People call Rapidshare Rapidshit for a reason.

You can't stream from it.

 

I never stream anyway. I prefer to download files. So I thought to provide a mirror, and again, you're not forced to use it, it's a spare thing in case his bandwidth dies. Maybe it's unlimited, who knows. It's better to set up an useless thing if it's not an hard work, imo.

I love your hack, Cinossu!

 

That's good to know.

Are you going to have negarings? What happens if an enemy hits you when you have a negative number of rings?

 

It'll probably count as not having rings at all, and you'll most likely die from it. There was something similar to that in Knuckles' Chaotix, when you press the "Call" button.

 

From what I remember, if you get hit with a negative ring count, nega rings fly out.

 

Hey why don't you use youtube to host the video? :o Downloading the vid takes forever.
