Ah, yes this was intenional to make for new enemy colors instead of the same old. =P

I'm still working on some which didnt turn out as good.

I love the square shield, and those palettes

Thank you. :D

can you say why it goes weirdly wrong if all you do is remove the cmp/beq/cmp/beq/cmp/bne sequence? I never worked that out.

Dude...these layouts are amazing! I fucking love the big ass loop in Toxic Factory!

There are more big loops to come. =P

Add a long section in which you have to run on the ceiling, with lots of spikes on the floor.

Ok, I have chosen the beta testers:

Tweaker
RHS
Quickman
ShadowFire/Tidus

Once they all Send feedback, I can make the necessary changes and then release v.5.

The palettes are too flamboyant. The only one I like is the ARZ one.

And why does Sonic's palette have the bluish-white color instead of the plain white?

Because Sonic is blue, not white. I like it better acctually.

But yes, that palette is too flamboyant. Perhaps tone it down a bit. Looks great overall though.

Its using the whites from S3K, and MCZ Palette is being changed...

That color there is the one I'm talking about. It's usually pure white, and I don't think it looks good here when it's not.

And while I'm at it, why did you change both of the yellows used for the rings to the same color? They don't look so good without the shading.

I have been think about reverting the Whites, the only reason I did it was because I was going to import S3k's monitor.

And the ring palette is already in process of being reverted.(takes forever because you have to change it on every level)

I have a compressed art file of the Sonic 3 monitors for Sonic 2 if you want?

A screen to show I got it working :

Compressed File - Sonic 2 - Monitors - Sonic 3

No thanks, I decided against using them a long time ago. :P

The new MCZ palette, courtesy of Shadowfire!

Dark Sonic · Dec 1, 2006

Ah, now that's much better. More of a cave feel because of the darker pallete and, well, it's not bright =P

Great job. Demo soon plz.

Ritz · Dec 1, 2006

Not too bad, but it isn't very Sonic-esque.

New screenshots:

Ice Cap Zone

New feature: Bonus Stage

Start by bringing 75 rings to a starpost:

You will be taken here:

Use the objects to move around and get rings:

You leave the bonus stage by touching the top or bottom of the level and get taken back to the starpost:

Comments? Questions?

So will you still be able to get the chaos emeralds, or are they in the level now?

Oh, and have you thought of putting S3 sprites in? They don't have to be perfect, maybe like the ones in Tohaka? Mind you, you will have to make your own.

The screens of EHZ on the first page show a Giant special stage ring at the end of the level. =P

I've thought about it, but its not on my NEED to do list. :P

75 rings is too much of a hassle so I won't bother with that. :P
