General Project Thread & Feedback

That's a terrible reason for switching it all of a sudden, to a music that people recognize as Death Egg.

It just breaks the music rules and make no sense.

You are right about the claustrophobic feeling to the Death Egg music. We should make the beginning of Death Egg really claustrophobic

 

Doesn't the piece BlastProcessing submitted already accomplish that?

 

I dunno, I think it kinda works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPAj8xD8PII

EDIT: fixed link

 

That doesn't fit well at all—especially with the cosmic vibe of the music conflicting with the visible blue sky in the background.

No, please.

 

The music can easily change when the battle is over, that was done simply out of convenience.

 

Nah, its a bad idea, I mean everyone associates it with Death Egg. We are not swapping other musics around so I see no point in doing this to this part, one thing about S2HD that is constantly said is that we are sticking with the designers intent, they didn't intend to do this otherwise they would have.

 

Sorry, but I agree, that felt completely out of place.

 

Dang, well, back to the idea board then.

 

How about you let the Death Egg music play during the Metal Sonic fight?

 

I don't really think that music should play during any fight. The song doesn't really seem to have the right feel for a boss battle. More like a level tune.

Though as for the hard mode ideas, I think it'd be neat to start off the hard-version EHZ fight as if it would play out exactly like the original, but then have Robotnik throw the car in reverse unexpectedly and kick off the hard-mode fight to mess with the sort of fans who have that easy fight so ingrained into their minds they probably manage most of it by muscle memory.

 

While having music options for different versions of a given zone's theme is definitely something we're considering, I can't see any reason to mix and match tracks like that.

For the forseeable future each zone will only have its appropriate zone music.

 

I'll just leave this here, should anyone not be aware...

New 2D Sonic, 2010. (lol, imagine if it was a Sonic 2 remake)

 

It says it's an "All New 2D Adventure", so I doubt it - can't wait for it though.

New S2HD project deadline: 1 day before this game's release

 

Hello,
I have been browsing the S2HD forum for quite a while now and requested posting abilities so I could hop in and give some opinions I have. First off, I would like to say that from what I have seen from the two tech demos, artwork and music samples, this project should be pretty amazing and I cannot wait to play some fully fledged Sonic 2 levels in HD.

When is the 3rd Demo likely to be released?. Has a timeframe been given for that yet?

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

 

Thanks & welcome to S2HD official forums rctneil,

The Alpha Release workings are proceeding very smoothly, the completion percentage increases everyday! ^^
As for the official "AR date announcement" I can just say it's "coming soon".

Oh and we're almost ready to show you all a surprise, probably by tomorrow.

 

Excellent News, Thanks Vincent!

Regards,
Neil

 

You forgot saying "regards, Neil", Neil :v:

Anyway, I'm really interested about release dates, as well. We've got so damn many graphics by now, I lost track of what Emerald Hill is still missing.

 

It's missing some grass tiles, finished waterfalls, and finished lights for the walls.

 

Fixed :D

Ooops, Better add one here too:

Regards,
Neil

 

Really, is that all that's left. This is probably one of the things that I can't wait to see. The fact that a level can be seen in action very soon.
