    Yup, you quoted it right SoNick.
    We plan to do the big work once the main frames are completed. Yet some items like rings could use those extra animations before that time, we are still considering it at the moment)

    About the original monitor animation, I feel it's pretty cool with some distortion AND the noise showing up, it's just looking as an extended version from the original.


    Anyway your suggestion is something more like Kega Fusion's emu BG, right?
     
  2. Something like that, yes.

    I must admit I also like Ice's version, but the one we'll be using is the Woot one for now. :v:

    I personally think Woot's feels way too different from the original thing.

    Though I like Woots, I do like Ice's the most, I think it doesn't make the distortion of the icon obvious, but you know its there and because it happens subtly and quickly it looks more realistic. But they are both good.

    But about the static on every attempt, it looks too crisp.

    I don't really care if it looks like the original or not, but you need to consider the fact that in game, I'd like to see the monitor in a split second to see the icon, and if the majority of the icon is distorted, it'll throw the player off. Ice's is great because I can always tell what the icon is, and for you originalpixelfags, it fits that token too.

    I just hope the flickering monitors don't cause any health/nausea problems for pattern-sensitive gamers.

    But - one thing ICEKnight can add to finish things off would be color fading from a dull to full color, in order to make it more realistic

    Ooooowwww my fucking eyes!

    Edit: As per Hivebrain's suggestion, I'd like to see a concept of what the monitor would look like with subtle scan lines and a light glow effect emanating from the screen.

    Except the monitor Mockups (which you can continue to experiment, of course!), there are more urgent things to be "mockupped" :thumbsup:

    Ice's monitors look amazing and just like the originals! I don't think he should change them at all

    Ice's look like total shit that I could have vomited in less than a minute. Woot's has some actual quality behind it.

    If anyone wants to have a crack at doing a mockup of the badnik/item explosion effect, here is the original 4x sprite:

    Here is also the original 4x ring sparkle/signpost sprite (which is actually just four separate sparkles, flipped into four different positions):

    I don't know... the original explosion looked like it was rendered CGI, whilst yours looks like it was the original art run through a filter. It doesn't look like smoke at all, honestly, and the edges look kind of awkward.

    Sonic 2 HD, various 3D work
    Far too blocky. Your edges are very sharp throughout the frames. I think this is one of the areas where a sizable amount of artistic expression/creative license could really make the explosion 'pop', if you catch my meaning.

    I always look at the sparkles as being + shape but with a circle glow in the middle, not being a star shape.

    Another great one Flare!!

    I like this concept, I would only add a little whiter shade on the shine center.

    For the explosions, may I suggest I said at a later point unique explosions could be done for each badnik/item etc? I'd take some work but the results would be truly 'HD'.

    It wouldn't have to be different explosions, just parts of the badnik flying with the standard effect.
