General Project Thread & Feedback

Alright, am I the only one who think that Bibin should stop posting in this thread?

 

Thank you for those useful suggestions Taxman, I've updated the plan with those instead:

Sonic 2 HD Project Plan v1.1 (23rd April '08)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ookawq

It's perfectly alright, I accept that your project has progressed down a different line to what the community wants to do here. I think people have made clear that they really want to see the physics replicated exactly as they were in the original, which leaves us no choice but to work from the dissasembly. Though your advice when you are available to offer it to the project is greatly appreciated since we are still on the lookout for C++ programmers that can help us make this a reality.

 

Mystic Cave Zone
Chemical Plant Zone (Not sure what to do with this one)
Emerald Hill 2P
Boss Music

 

I'd rather you wait until I get my own versions of the tracks up before you start making more. I'm not gonna shell them out in three seconds flat, like it seems you did. I've got plans, so let me go through with them please. :P

 

That mystic cave zone is brilliant. The horns around the second part could be a little less interjecting, but it sounds great overall.
The Chemical Plant Music sounds great, but some of the instruments are a bit unfitting. The rest... are pretty alright, but the instrumentation could use work. The Boss music has lots of incorrect notes in it.

Also guys, I want to apologize for being such a dick in this thread (and outside); I see now what tweaker was trying to say and it makes sense; we should focus on the main aspects of the game before focusing on extras. I sent Tweaker a PM about this with a more specific apology; I'll try to make actual contributions now that are related.

I made some Emerald Hill Zone music; it doesn't really sound new enough though, and the instrumentation is very weird. I need some good samples; suggestions would be appreciated, but hate mail is accepted too:

Loop it, as that's how it is intended.

EDIT: Spelling​

 

A question, how will the title cards be done? Redrawn in a new stlye or just the same as the Genesis with a redrawn font?

 

Have you guys decided on who's leading the project yet? I need to assign moderator abilities so you guys can split this topic up.

 

I am extremely reluctant to lead this project because of RL commitments, but I am happy to help coordinate things somewhat. I think the power of the modonosphere *white light shines from sky* should definitely go to Vincent first and foremost since he has spearheaded this whole thing.

I say Vincent, unless you guys have done anything about this yet. He seems to be putting the most effort into this project, and should lead the others.

And that is a nice title card.

Ninja'd: I need to read better.

 

Regarding Sonic 2 HD on the title cards. I would support having it there. I also support modifying the title screen to add the HD (while keeping everything else the same). I just think some kind of identification is important and these changes seem minimally invasive on the original game.

 

Hello fellow members of Sonic Retro! I am new to hacking, and joined the website to learn how to make a decent hack of Sonic games.

I made the new wiki page for Sonic 2 HD, which is in need of expansion. If you would like to help, check out the site, and simply add the plans for the remake.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 HD wiki article

 

Cool, I was thinking of doing this earlier. I've added my music to the page using mp3 tags; I'll add more as they're officially decided upon.

 

We really need to include this in the game, if we can find the original video.

Also remixed music and probably have to add sound effects.

 

Which reminds me, do we want to throw in the DCT Sweet Sweet Sweet for the ending?

 

Please god no.

 

We clearly need to use the Akon remix from Sonic Next!

Hearing a black man sing in nasally Japanese has never been so satisfying.

 

Why not have the sweet sweet song be unlocked for the second playthrough, and that other remix for the third time. Hell, unlockables won't hurt the replay value.

 

...The post above you was sarcastic, genius.

 

I could help out with a advertising banner. What about iron-on ads for t-shirts advertising s2beta and Sonic2HD?
