Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board: Canned Karma - Viewing Profile - Sonic and Sega Retro Message Board

We'd like to thank everyone who has encouraged S2HD throughout its development. Your wait is over.

www.s2hd.com

The Sonic 2 HD Alpha Release is a fan game entirely developed by TeamS2HD, and we believe our efforts and teamwork to represent the classic Sonic franchise as we, the hardcore fans, have always envisioned it to be.

We'd like to make a point of thanking Sonic Retro's admins for the great source of support they have extended to us to this point. Going forward, our future involvement with Sonic Retro will be much the same as other Sonic fangames in that we'll be updating a single thread with our project updates and information. With the game's Alpha Release, this means our involvement with Sonic Retro's Community Projects also comes to an end as, in all honesty, S2HD hasn't been a community game for a long time. In line with this, we've now closed out the topics in the Community Project subforum in favor of a single discussion thread here.

We look forward to your feedback -- enjoy!

-- Concept Workbench --

This topic is dedicated to putting out ideas and concept art related to any level art asset or object. If you have questions regarding how something will work in the game, this is not the topic for it -- please post those questions in the General Project Thread. As always, please direct any non-relevant concerns or complaints to myself via PM so I can work to resolve them with you personally.


Due to the many questions I've received about moving beyond HTZ for art and concepts for the rest of the game's zones, I've decided to create a centralized, open thread to field them. If there's a certain level asset you've had ideas surrounding, or a visual concept you've kept stashed away, this is your opportunity to present it and have it be discussed.

-- Community Project Targets --

Want to help speed up S2HD's development? Curious what the current focus of the project is? You're in the right place. This topic will be used to direct attention toward the immediate goals of the project.

-- General Art --

Post only what does not fit into a specific zone's thread. The current zone focus is Hill Top Zone .

Again, this is meant to be an art topic. It is not for bickering over the project's direction or artstyle. If there's something you feel compelled to bring up, PM a staff member and someone will field your concerns.

-- Special Stage Development --

This thread is for discussion of the Special Stage, ideas for its appearance, playability, and ways to get it functional only.

Here's a link to the main color palettes of each stage and their 2 Player versions. Thanks to nineko and Norym
