General Project Thread & Feedback

Ahh, this look sick!! :D
Really nice job, there
Also, why can't I scroll below the image? Have you disabled something? I had to quote someone to be able to reply...

 

Yeah, I see what you're talking about now. I'll check it out.

 

Ah, no more fat legs. That had always bothered me before.

 

Looks a lot better. Can't wait to see how he's animated.

Edit: Staff Attack Part 3 please. I don't think we even know who the full set of staff members are yet which is pretty sad.

Also, do the chicken next :D (or the small animals rather). That would be fun. I'd love to see the whole set.

 

I have no idea if this has ever been addressed, but I have not read anything about sound effects other than "new sound effects for specific places" or something. Are the sound effects going to receive any enhancements? Considering everything in the game is being remade from scratch, I would imagine a little bit of modernizing details on the sounds would be appropriate.

 

Saxman has written a new sound engine for use with S2HD, but there likely won't be any new SFX in the alpha. We would like to have some new ones eventually, but you can see why it's not a priority right now.

 

Understandable (new sound engine? interesting too). I would love to help with sounds, that's one of my best subjects.

 

That Tails looks pretty good. Nice to see you guys got his muzzle and eyes spot on, in the end.

 

I love the new shading style, it makes everything much more interesting! It'd be great to see some screen shots including both characters though, to see how they look together, and with the level.

 

The Sonic 2 HD Facebook page says:

I'm not sure if the bit about online multiplayer had been definitely addressed by a team member previously, so yeah.

 

Wow, Tails turned out really cute! Nice job, guys. :D

 

I'm loving the Tails sprite. He's just plain adorable. Excellent work.

 

The lack of ginormous legs is probably the single greatest improvement about this Tails. He looks..... well he looks like Tails.

 

Tails chest and legs are much better that way. As for the tails, I can't wait to see them flying. Excellent work guys

 

I love how cuddly and cute Tails looks, and also Sonic too!

Quality is really top-notch, It feels like art in motion (literally it is) and so far the design for the Alpha is really neat!

A few ideas here and there. First, the music in the final boss. The intro part resembles emergency sirens playing in his death egg, which is true since Robotnik is bringing out his Robot Mecha. The music should fit the mood of determination, hope and struggle with the same millitary drum pattern and the timpani getting louder before the bridge.

Apart from that, great work to everyone involved with this! I love how this is going and looking forward to more updates and progress along the way!

 

Awesome Tails sprite. Love the Final of it.1 Question I have though, which I have never understood :P. Why is Tails 2nd tail more to the left than to the right? (sprite one) It has always bugged me as to me it looks wrongly in propotions or makes the 2nd Tail look twice as long as the other. I always have wondered it even since I played sonic 2 when I was young. And Im not saying anything wrong to the people who re edited it, I just say about the original sprite. To me, it looks propetly when the tail is to the right and behind the first.

 

It was an aesthetic choice, not a practical one. The whole point of the project is for things to look good, so that took precedence in designing Tails.
