    Will do. I have high expectations of high quality due to the effort that has gone into it that I have a feeling that I'm going to be incredibly satisfied.


    I haven't be this excited about a game for a very long time.

    I second that, completley. Actually, ever... In my case (I don't get many games).

    Now we're on subject of the CPZ floor, I would like to make a small suggestion for a detail. Ignore for a sec the entire picture, as it's rather old and bad and ugly, but mind the small fence-ish thing just beneath the yellow surface.

    I still like it :3

    I think it looks good but needs to be more subdued. The gradients are a bit diffused and smooth; I always thought CPZ would either be kind of shiny or brushed.

    Looks good, but you should make them play at the same time.

    I also think there should be a smoother transition from top or bottom to moving, just one frame in between, it still looks sharp.

    Sonic 2 HD, various 3D work
    Before you get too carried away with this, I'd like to point out that we're after complete visual appeal, not just reinterpretation of the original sprite. If there's a few pixels that you could be something else entirely, let your creative juices flow on it. That grating element that TO introduced is a good example of this.

    Yes, I'm glad people are doing this now, it makes everything look so much better.

    I like it, but I always saw the yellow part as being more flat, shiny, and metallic. Otherwise it's really good.

    Here is the much improved version 2. I went in and did some shading/highlight work frame by frame.

    I prefer B, but, the vertical part doesn't seem like it should be so round according to me.

    Fantastic.

    I just think we could make the top bit (and the metal pole underneath) smoother (I can't help but notice the straight lines that make it up).

    Other than that, all I can crit' is that we need some nice animated bubbles (glow?) in that liquid.

    Anyway, it's fantastic.

    Sorry about the sprite, that is all I could find.

    And here's a composite;

    Oh, NOW I get why the edges look rounded.

    That is coming up very nicely MDM!

    Here I go with suggestions:
    [​IMG]

    -Red Mark(left):
    Due lack of shades, lighting an definition it stands out greatly from the rest.
    Try re-imagine it as you did with the other parts

    -Red Mark(right):
    That part uses different colours, metal style and details on the lower bits to look consistent.

    Thanks for your concepts and keep it up with the good job! :)

    Also, where Vincent circled, the yellow parts aren't uniform in thickness when transferring from the 's' part to the flat. Is it supposed to be like that? 'Cause I think this is a bad thing.

    Good job btw!

    How about some corrosion on the submerged section? That said, I wonder if perhaps everything should look a little less pristine than it does.
