More stuff I've been neglecting to post here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmzChjwdTkI Mighty here is only capable of wall jumping at the moment, don't know what else I want to give him to make him as versatile as Sonic with his shield abilities. Different time zones now have their own layouts, and I also changed the way time travel works. Now you start up in the location of the signpost you touched before warping. It's just a bit easier to work with, but I'll probably try working on the original method again later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap63HUhX1vc Changed up the boss fight a bit. Added a vertical section at the end, just to make it a bit more interesting (and to give Mighty a slight edge over Sonic since he doesn't have a Peel-out to abuse for speed). Also put an emerald at the end. If Metal reaches it before Sonic (as shown in the video), his attacks and movement speed are much faster (though I may tone it down a bit, just to make it slightly easier).
Taya Hah, fantastic!! That is extremely impressive so far! I would however like to hear different music for the different acts. But the layouts are fantastic, clean and look enjoyable, the vertical race up to the boss area with metal Sonic was unexpected and works great!! Well done!
Alright, so, ultimately I have been really busy and stressed... but approaching some free time I had around this week, I have been practicing some pixel art... and for now, I done this: It's not even half to be done, and it's not that good as I'd want it to be, but considering it's one of the first I made... I think it's ok.
A small update of a couple things I was working on... All pertaining to REV C. Pardon my using links... internet is not cooperating with me today. FIRST, here is a take on Amy's Sonic 1 sprites. As you can see, we have E-122 Psi's original sprite based on the CD sprite... next to Cinossu's attempt to make her match the Sonic 1 palette better. I went ahead in a little bit of a different route, as you can see on the left, and have Amy down to three pinks and the darkest red. The greens replace the yellow and the darker pink slots, as you can see in the image. Amy comparison sprite. SECOND, I took the Sonic 2 beta signpost and made it a Mighty signpost. Credit to Caverns 4 for helping with this one, with the eyes and shading. It's still a WIP, as I want to have Mighty raising his fist in there as well. Mighty Signpost in REV C THIRD... a screenshot from me using SonLVL... something special I'm putting into Sonic 1... not much to it right now, but I've just started... and haven't had a great deal of time to work on it. SonLVL screenshot (Excuse the garbled Sonic sprite)
I haven't shown anything in forever, so why not.. The side blocks work just like the Sonic 3K Slots too; they turn from blue, to yellow, to red, to goal. Makes for a much harder Special Stage. :U The background deformation was a bitch, but it's in too.
Concerning the extra colors for Amy, you could be a little sneaky like I was for S3+K and make the greys a slight greenish shade, then you can use the darkest shade as shadow without too much difference. Planning on something with Amy then? That last screenie looks somewhat familiar... :D
Yea... I want to avoid messing with the greyscale colors at all... so I'll stick to tweaking the sprites. Other than that... the only other difference between my Amy and yours is tweaking the abilities ever so slightly. As for what I'm planning, she will be one of a few characters in my hack... Along with Mighty and the Carry ability I mentioned a while back.
Now that looks so sweet! Giving S1 special stages the S3K makeover is something totally new, but you're right about the increased difficulty curve of the special stages. I would've easily failed, trying to go after every last ring, which is what I usually do. I wonder what S3K would've looked like vice versa. Of course, the walls wouldn't transform into Goal blocks and we'd take forever in that stage getting 999 rings.
Random out of the blue show off time. Old palette editor had tools that wern't exactly "realtime", I fixed that.
That is EXTREMELY LOVELY. Now if only you added some stuff like instant greyscaling and such... PERFECTION. I've had fun with the previous iteration of your Palette Editor... and am looking forward to this one.
Actually that's already planned, it'll be call the effects tool, and you will be able to add color effects over whatever selection of colors you want. color effects are sorta like those from photoshop or gimp layers, you select a color, and you apply a color effect, additive, subtractive, grayscale, tint, multiply, divide, burn, (probably not that whole list, but some of them) depending on if I can figure out how to code a lua version, but I do plan to have a lot, hopefully.
Ha! I see you followed through on this little idea. That's some fucking brilliant stuff you've done there :v:
I haven't had a serious hack project for a while, not since April 2012 with Dr Robotnik's Creature Capture. So, let's get hardcore now and catch up with the times a little:
I figured for a bit of humour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_jJH7Kj3nI Argis! You know it makes sense ;{P
