Since I don't want to make a whole new topic, I'll keep posting my delemas here. Special Stage. I have a problem with the graphics right now. They don't seem right to me. I may make them more "hidden palace esq". Opinions? Also, I want an opinion on the special stage. As of right now it is a HUGE stage that you have to continuously search for the emeralds in. Once you find an emerald alter, you obtain an emerald. You cannot use that alter again. There are seven alters in the stage total. Also...Characters...huge deal Fang/Nack. He is the knuckles of this game. Trying to foil sonic/tails/knuckles path to robotnik. Question is, should he be playable? Should I wait and pull a Sonic and Knuckles Classic? Opinions on this matter? And finally... The dreaded Shadow question. This is only a mock up thank God, but you all know my answer to this question. No. But if the Yes's out weigh the No's, I'd be forced to put him in. Of course placing him in as a playable character would ruin classic and up the characters to 5. That assuming Fang would be playable. So opinions would be helpful...
Fang will be difficult to change his game play...Im thinking about having a non-harmful jump, and perhaps a lethal kick or something? I'm not too certain on an ability yet
You really should think of another name. Sonic Classic for such an awesome project sounds quite boring to me (though I'm not any better at inventing names =P).
If you're going down the whole S&K-esque route, have some level routes or even some entire zones dedicated to Nack/Fang. Shadow is a big nothx.. .. or, make both as future DLC, or something.
Well see, the problem here is there has IMO yet to be a game that does Shadow justice. The Nos have it for this game, but someone really ought to step up to the mantle here.
No no, that's not the problem. The problem is Shadow in a CLASSIC game. When most of us hear "classic", we automatically think of the 2D Death Egg saga. And that includes, well, no Shadow =P
I was talking about a different problem actually, namely all 2D Shadows sucking ass outside of Sonic Battle =P
Actually I meant as far as hacks are concerned. Also, I wouldn't count Rivals because everyone had the same moves outside of signature moves. I mean Silver...homing attack...really?
I think I may just keep it to sonic/tails/knuckles. I originally had Metal Sonic as the antagonist, but I removed him as he just seemed to be more of a random boss than an actual main character. And about fang, I'm thinking the gun is a bad idea since...well...shadow and his gun? =P Maybe he would be able to destroy spikes or something like that? Be able to dig or something. Revealing new paths.
I dunno, see Fang's gun is actually part of his character, since he's a bounty hunter and all. Shadow's gun didn't work so well in comparison because, IMO, at least, it departed too far from his natural abilities. I mean, why use a gun when you can just jump on/spin into enemies and do away with them that way? Or something
