I can say that most of Silver's boss struggles are due to the fact that his PK was programmed after said bosses, and the coders of those bosses were long gone in order to make changes. I'm sure new coders will turn up at some point XD

In the meantime, it's also a game of balance. I once had Silver able to grab both A.N.N.'s and Metal Knuckles's energy shots. It resulted in A.N.N. being defeated in less than 15 seconds and Metal Knuckles getting chucked off the screen and the game being unbeatable. Might upload a video of that second one for giggles later.

As it stands, expect Metal Knuckles to be a whole lot different in later releases. The line between difficult and cheap is a thin one, but it's a work in progress.

Since they were mentioned in the stream:

So, about dem passwords!

Since this one's already been found in a youtube vid, I'll go on reveal the debug password, HACKING.

As for the others, here's some general hints:

Password 1: Generally when you use codes, you are a...

CHEATER: Unlocks Level Select

Quote

Password 2: The password is always...missing vowels evidently.

SWRDFSH: Gives you 99 lives

Quote

Password 3: What do these things have in common:
Chicken nuggets, bubblegum, pretending to text to avoid someone

WINNING: Gives you all of the Chaos Emeralds

Others:
MISSION: Activates Special Stage Rush mode

Character passwords don't work, so meh.

Also thanks for your continued support everyone. I did NOT expect this turn of events at all.

After all the robot busting with Silver on White Blaster Act 3, I stepped on the capsule at 9:59 with 0 rings. Talk about a close shave XD

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I've tried to set the spike behavior to Sonic 2, but it keeps giving me the Sonic 1 Spike Behavior regardless.

We played this!

Yeah, I never got to say actually, that the options menu as a whole is quite unfinished. The super music and spike options don't work due to the former being badly implemented (cause I'm an idiot), and the latter having not been coded yet. The passwords mostly work, bar the character ones, and even then, there's only coding for two of them.

I might have said this before (and I know I did in the contest podcast), but the reason that the extra characters are disabled is twofold. First off, the identity of the third character is being shuffled (it's not Scourge anymore). Said object started life as a different character and in the 4th character slot, but once their new identify was finally settled upon, they were in the process of being moved to the third slot. Character 3 is disabled due to being an unfinished mishmash of two characters, and Scourge is disabled because I haven't been able to fully test him to ensure that he doesn't crash the game. There are reports that he is somewhat functional, but the extent of which, I don't know.

He's proven to be surprisingly popular among you guys though. I'll have to do something about that...

Also, since I'm starting to see this a lot now. I'd like to hear some feedback about the current lack of Spin Dash.

We liked Scourge because you did as good job a job with his sprites as you did the other S named characters! ^_^


Admittedly its only a few changes from Sonic for his normal moves, but still the best done I've seen for the character, and his Super form is spectacularly done, that one defiantly isn't just a recolour of Super Sonic!

Well I had a hard time thanks to that reason particularly in Spectra Valley act 1. For silver, the last loop combined with the camera lock is really hard without enough momentum.
I think Silver need some kind of move to gain momentum. In contrast I think spindash is not suited for a slow character but the lack of spindash is one of the most remarkable problem for silver

Now don't go teasing me like that Aqua. You KNOW how popular Scourge is. I do hope he's here to stay in the game. You've done too good a job on him to just toss him. Besides how often do I get to play as my favorite Sonic character in a game? <3

As for the lack of a spindash, I think it works towards making Sonia and Silver feel different from the other characters that will be in the game. Playing as them alongside Scourge was enough to prove that much. I think it's an interesting idea, and much like other character hacks, the change in moveset makes you have to rethink how you'd play the game, giving you a different and somewhat richer experience.



.....Still want mah Scourgie though :D
