>Uses ancient mound Welp, looks like I have to use that original composition I did for Ricky Illusion after all.
This is really cool and all but if you're going to change Knuckle's sprites blue underwater, his entire body should look blue not just his red skin. Otherwise, it seriously looks awesome.
Two things., one big and one small: 1: Please keep making levels like this. This is now approaching the top of my DO WANT list rapidly. 2: The rings after the boss seemed a bit....unnecessary. Regardless, I'm glad to see you post this update EK. Harder Levels looks incredible promising.
Exactly what Selbi said came to mind, the sheer glow of that flame is very pleasant! And fused with the blue gives that purple evening effect which goes well as a feeling =) I had a few other things done like a sound driver and level draw system, but I didn't wanna throw out too much and ruin the main principles of the game itself, So have a simple title screen insted =P Yes? No?
Please tell me you're making a new platform game to release for the Genesis. I know there's people who like their RPGs and all but I want to see a new platformer done, ESPECIALLY with the style you're doing. I think I see why you quit Brother Trouble now...
Soooo.... Im not sure if im gonna release this to the public... It's still unfinished anyways :P Btw, not a mock up, that's a real image from the hack
I still want to see a finished like legit Metal Sonic hack that doesn't involve it just being an unfinished Sonic sprite swap
For that matter, how about a Fang/Nack as a playable character? You know with a springy tail move and using a working gun, etc. I haven't read up on how to ASM up something like that yet, but I guess it is something I should look into.
My brother had one that he made that had all of the frames finished, only needed some things like the Title and end animation, but it either got lost in a crash or is stuck on some drive somewhere. (It was made with Sonik Sprite, too, not with a disassembly)
I made a pretty complete Metal Sonic sheet back in the day for a hack I never got around to finishing. I'd love to see a Metal in Sonic 1 hack with like SA2 stats: higher acceleration, slightly faster, black shield, can breathe underwater, but couldn't really roll (He could do that thing from Sonic CD though) I edited it a bit though so it used the Sonic 2 Sonic palette and had a head more based on that of Triple Trouble
My first attempt at hacking was actually a shadow in sonic 1 hack. Definitely do this, there aren't enough hacks with shadow in them.
ok, lets see what can I do then since is pretty much almost finished at this point, just some art needs to be replaced
Cool. The title screen is looking good. It's nice to have others joining in on the ''*character* in Sonic 1" insanity. :D Seems your sprites better fit a Metal in Sonic 2 hack (not that such a project wouldn't be equally cool). You just need a few odd extra sprites and you're set to make the whole thing (I think you just need the ending, special stage and corkscrew sprites). I've actually seen a few good Metal sheets, this one definately counting, it would be nice if a finished project came out of one of them. Don't suppose anyone's got a good Tails Doll sheet to go with it? :v: The problem may be that Fang/Nack sprite sheets are far more rare, I don't think a complete one for Sonic 1 exists. It's something I may try out later on if I work out how to implement certain moves as well, but I think being an expressive comical character like Fang a lot of effort would have to be put into them.
Metal Sonic and Tails Doll in Sonic 2 would be pretty awesome. Most of the sprites are based off Sonic 2 poses simply because I preferred those ones to the Sonic 1 poses (Same with the palette). Originally my hack was going to be a hack of Sonic 1 where you could play as Sonic and Metal Sonic, where Sonic's gameplay would basically be like normal, but the goal of Metal Sonic's game was to go in reverse, so you start on the last level and go back to GHZ or whatever the first zone was going to be. Also, while Sonic attacked badniks + Robotnik, Metal Sonic would have fought the little animals and Sonic's friends. I think I was going to give Metal Sonic a different health system too, where you had 3 hits before you died, while rings helped you stay underwater longer. Since Metal is a robot he doesn't need to breathe but I though that the rings could sort of protect him from prolonged water damage. Rings would also be used for the Black Shield. Although I did not have enough technical knowledge to complete said project... and I didn't have enough motivation to finish it haha
What? Yes. Do this. With gameplay/level alterations, that is (edit: for example, Dark Sonic, you have some decent ideas there). Don't get me wrong; I guess it's good for everyone to be able to play [their favourite character] in [otherwise almost identical game], but y'know. :P If nothing else, someone has to hack in an epic Metal vs. Silver Sonic battle. This also makes me want a completed Mecha Sonic hack.
