General Project Thread & Feedback

Or like he was thrown against a window.

 

That was the idea. "Squirrel on a windshield". =P

I just made it for fun, and I don't think it should be put into the project...

 

Put it as an easter egg or something, it's too good to be ignored like that.

 

There should be a 10% chance that he will have that frame :v:

 

That's so funny It would be a waste not to use it. :v:

We'll put all unused material in an "Art Gallery" you can unlock after the game is complete.
Or having these squirrels splat on the screen when they are freed, by unlocking some achievments on the game.

Anyway, it will surely have its own apparition!

 

Maybe if he jumps into lava after being freed by Sonic, lol. You could even have a fizzling smoke effect, while having the sprite vibrate as it slowly sinks into the lava!

Actually, that's kind of horrific now that I think about it, lol. Maybe an option to unlock it: "Animal cruelty On/Off".

(I can imagine people playing around with it in debug mode...freeing 50 animals at once above a pit of lava and watching them die a slow, painful death o_O)

 

Haha. That sounds good, but there is only 2 levels with lava.
None of those levels have squirrels in it, or am I wrong?
Maybe, when they meet another robot or hit by spikes.
They die like sonic, when they meet a danger.
(Also lava/oil)


Also, game have to be as original as possible.
I think, that you can unlock it, when you have completed game once.

 

All of this looks and sounds phenomenal, it really does - but, it does get the mind wondering about the possibility of giving this rendition to the first game which, along with Sonic CD, is probably the most visually stirring of the games, I think.

 

This decision will be made only after the game is near completion and we added all the Extra Stuff we wanted to.

In my own preferences Sonic CD is the best candidate for Remastering, but before this a brand new generic Sonic HD title would be something that I'd really love to draw frames for.

Anyway, thanks for the compliments that are shared for every talented contributors working hard for this goal!

 

Hey vincent, I would like to help contirbute to the work of Sonic 2 HD. What you guys are doing is great! I have been drawing sonic ever since he made his first debut' on the Sega Genesis. I think I could help draw some sprites for the game. But what I could help with mostly is the ending sequence of sonic 2. As you know the ending consists of still frames of tails taking the plane to save sonic. I could easily draw them for you if you need me to. Here's some of my Sonic art I have done over this year. Hope to be working with you all on this project shortly

2 recent Sonic drawings and and a 3-D Model of Sonic I made with google Sketchup.

That first link is password-protected, but what I have been able to see so far looks pretty good. I'm not sure to what capacity hand-drawn art would be able to feature in a product like this, though. I'd guess if anything a nice project if you're looking for one would be hand-drawing the four frames in the ending sequence.

 

So you work with Vincent on Sonic 2 Hd? I'd be glad to start drawing up the frames up now if you wanted...aww heck, I was looking forward to it!

Edit: Oh, I forgot to ask, do you want me to draw them out exatly like they were in the frames? Or elaborate a bit...

 

Hi Kamon,

Thanks for the proposal!

If you would like to help me with characters, try remastering Tails Standing Frame
Note that you must use Adobe illustrator or any Vector art program which exports transparent pngs (Flash CS3, Corel Draw, Photoshop if saved as .PSD without rasterize vectors).

In case you want to do the ending sketches, remember to base off THIS.
Show us what you can do! :D

 

Just a quick message to say that I will be away from 22nd Sept to 10th October (main staff was informed of this a month previously).

 

Thanks Athel for the info,

Any messages S2HD-related anyone want to send Athel in those weeks, please add CC to me.

 

Thanks for letting me help with the project! I have drawn up some sketches of the ending sequnce. They are near exact replica of their pixel versions. The only trouble I had was depicting what was what becuase of the pictures' tiny size and pixelation. But I managed to get it all. The last frame I mistaked the ground for grass instead of water but I can fix that up. If you guys want me to continue on this I'll start to colour, shade and outline everything in photoshop. I will add in the explosion in the 1st once in photo shop. Tell me if I've missed anything. Also, is the ending going to be without outline or with outline like in the Sonic the hedgehog movie? Lastly, do we want this to be black and white like in the old Sonic 2 or in colour this time around? Oh, and how's the game's completion going? Have much have you completed?

Hope my pictures upload right...

If it requires a password I have set up a guest password for you veiw it. The password is: Sonic

Note: the first 4 pictures are the rough sketches. The others are just some of my work I couldn't upload to you guys before.

 

I really like this one: http://i338.photobucket.com/albums/n434/Kamon62/IMG.jpg

I think that the ending frames are looking pretty good for rough sketches. My only real gripe is that Tails' muzzle looks a bit off; it seems too squared off rather than rounded, I guess.

 

Thanks! That Sonic is one of my most recent sketches. When you say his muzzle looks a bit square do you mean in frame 2? I can fix that up.

 

Showcase yourself by doing a colored version of one of these 4 pictures.

 

Yeah. I also noticed it in the first frame.
