BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE

Discussion in 'Engineering & Reverse Engineering' started by BSG's Sonic Retro Account, Jan 8, 2021.

  1. Hello there,
    I hope you're well and happy new year to you all. I'm releasing level packs of custom Blue Sphere stages, generally the idea is they're HARD to get through but maybe just for me... Anyway I'm releasing my first 16 stages (they've been tweaked a bit from their original state as seen in my videos in an attempt to get rid of freezing/crashing) under "BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1" and it can be downloaded here:

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/c5x81rcwhr1343k/BSD's+KAIZO+BLUE+SPHERE.bin/file

    I've only played them on KEGA Fusion and I've not experienced any problems. If, however, you do encounter anything do let me know exactly where it was so that I can see what I can do. I'm no coder, I just use Nineko's Blue Balls and MainMemory's Blue Sphere Plus to put everything together. Them being on MM's BSP is awesome though, because you can try them at MAX SPEED.

    Before Christmas I released "BSD's BLUE FEAR", a 16 stage level pack, and you can find that here:

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/pg49u8fg1a5p6a7/BSD%27s_BLUE_FEAR.zip/file

    There's also 16 save states available to download in GSX format, so if you get stuck and can use these you can at least move forward (they'll work with either of the above and future ones):

    If you want to watch walkthroughs prior/during/instead of playing I have those but bear in mind BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1 stages differ slightly from these videos:

    BSD's BLUE FEAR: "BSD's BLUE FEAR": walkthrough & download - YouTube

    BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1: BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE STAGES - YouTube

    Hmm, that's it for now, enjoy if you play and enjoy if you watch and enjoy if you don't!

    All the best,
    BSD

    Wow, finally someone's using Blue Sphere Plus' map packs.

    No offense to nineko, but S3SSEdit is a much better program for editing blue sphere maps.
     
  3. Hi! I am so glad you made BSP, you have no idea lol I have been using it for customs for a few months and the max speed setting is just excellent.

    Thanks for making me aware of S3SSEdit, I love Blue Balls but I can't edit the bottom line of the grid due to my resolution and it causes me problems. I am going to try S3SSEdit.

    I've been messing around on S3SSEdit, it actually is much better as I can see the bottom line as well as all the other cool tools that save time. The only thing I miss is having a grid but I will get used to that. Thanks for making me aware!

    A grid? S3SSEdit has a grid though.
     
  5. Ah, maybe I have an early version as it just has a completely white background with no lines/checks, in fact I think it must be because the East and West directions are the wrong way around on this one and I read one of your posts saying it had been fixed.

    But I am basically used to this editor now though, it's awesome.

  7. Given it a quick test drive, much better! Thanks for sending :) Releasing a video tomorrow of my first stage created with S3SSEdit, the stage is called "THE SPINE TWISTER" here: CUSTOM BLUE SPHERE: THE SPINE TWISTER - YouTube and will release it in "BSD's KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 2" when ready. Mind is happily blown at how much easier this is! :D

  8. Hello there, I hope you’re well.

    I have just completed “BSD’s KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 2”, so if you are interested in playing more hard stages that require a deep understanding of Blue Sphere mechanics, good memory and timing (or, perhaps, access to my walkthroughs on YouTube lol) then here it is:

    https://www.mediafire.com/file/wdqz9jxei6sgpq4/BSD%27s_LEVEL_PACKS.zip/file

    As usual I have used MainMemory’s Blue Sphere Plus’ lock-on technology to bring them to you and they were designed on S3SSEdit by MainMemory and Blue Balls by Nineko. Personally stage 16 is my favourite.

    Also available to download:

    BSD’s KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wdqz9jxei6sgpq4/BSD%27s_LEVEL_PACKS.zip/file

    BSD’s BLUE FEAR: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wdqz9jxei6sgpq4/BSD%27s_LEVEL_PACKS.zip/file



    If you want to watch my YouTube walkthroughs then here are the links:

    BSD’s BLUE FEAR:

    BSD’s KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1 & 2 playlist:

    If you have any problems with any of this stuff let me know exactly what went wrong and I’ll endeavour to sort out a solution. If you downloaded BSD’s KAIZO BLUE SPHERE 1 within the first 4 or 5 days of it being available I have changed stage 12. Unfortunately my original release contained the wrong map for stage 12.

    All the very best,

    BSD
