Mighty In Sonic 1

E-122, you got some talent.

Your 'XX in Sonic 1' hacks got to be really interesting and fun, specially the Amy Rose hack and this one. You're really awesome at art designs (your spritesheets are really cool) and I see you don't have bigger problems with coding. If you keep progresing you will do even bigger things in a near future.

Keep up the good work and you will do great things!

Also I love how you didn't have to change the pallet at all to fit Mighty in.

 

I suggest Psi to make a simple "Proof-of-concept: X in Sonic 1" thread for all these wonderful, but topic-filling, hacks, myself. Maybe make it a full-fledged personal project.

 

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would, so great job E-122-Psi.
I don't know if you are aware, but Mighty can't wall jump from object 44 (The GHZ wall object) at all. I've tried all of them in GHZ1 and he won't grab.
I'm also unaware if you are taking suggestions, but I'll put them out here anyway;
1. Mighty doesn't seem to hold onto the wall long enough and falls quickly, sometimes without much time for me to jump from the wall. Maybe increase the ammount of time he stays on the wall?
2. This is just a personal preference, but would it be possible for the wall jump to work like in Chaotix? Where as long as you are holding a jump button, you stay attached to the wall? I'm so used to the Chaotix method that this puts me off sometimes.
I don't mean to sound so negative, but like I said, I am enjoying the hack, so kudos.

 

Just to let you know, the GHZ issue has been discussed in the topic for Mercury's wall jump code (used in this hack).

 

I very much love the novelty of this hack, and all the other character hacks. Even if sometimes there aren't much differences it still gives a fresh new feel to the existing adventure. Will be interesting to see who comes next XP

 

I added the alternate hack to the wiki, so what happened that you had to change the sprite color? I noticed motobugs have red heads now.

 

I always thought Mighty could fit in Sonic's palette line hence why so many people used to use him as a additional character. Isn't Mighty's head using the same shades of red as his shoes?

 

I'm not. I just wish for a bit more variety.

Aside from adding new stuff to take advantage of each characters' abilties. For example, Vector can dash up, so why not add new hidden areas?

And when are we gonna get some really creative original characters? Like a character use can't jump but uses a grappling hook, a la Bionic Commando?

Yes.

Also, when Sonic 1 Megamix goes back into being worked on, maybe add all these characters?

Also, in the next Mighty in Sonic 1 revision, maybe add the ability to switch between the two different Mighty sprites, in lieu of two different versions?

Other than that, I liked what I saw.

 

I honestly like the Chaotix set much better than the custom one, not because the latter is bad, but because the former makes him look like something more than just a sprite edit of Sonic.

 

Regardless of what the haters say, I've always liked Mighty a lot so I find this pretty cool.

The title screen is adorable (I wasn't expecting him to wiggle his ears, but when he did, I laughed out loud. Somehow it works).

I'm not sure I really like the way the wall jump works, though - I guess I might get used to it. It's pretty weird to have him jump away when the button is released... it's not that intuitive but then I haven't played Chaotix in a while so I was basing my wall jump more on the way it works in other games, like Metroid or Mario.

Actually, he did fiddle with the reds a bit, and it makes some things look a little more pinkish than usual.

 

Sonic Megamix is still in development. And I can't speak for its team, but I doubt anything like that will happen.

Another great job, keep up the

I'm in for the idea of an all girl team, espeically if applied in Sonic 3&K (I'm still eager to find out how Amy can work in that game, considering how much different it felt using her in the two previous hacks, more if Cream uses the same abilities as Tails like carrying her to place she can't reach as well as seeing both fighting eggman in Marble Garden Zone)

 

Doin' a Let's Play of yet another great hack by you.

 

Could I suggest that E-102-Gamma to be put into the game? (judging by your name I bet it's been considered). Now that would be an interesting challenge, to implement his targeting and shooting (could be used for a more SA style sky chase modification too). Not sure if there's any half decent sprites for him too that would be appropriate for Sonic 1. Also Big the Cat with some rudimentary fishing method? And the levels end when you find froggy somewhere. Just interested to see some more usual artwork have to be done a bit of a coding skill test with the abilities.

Also I saw in someones MMF fangame they enabled 2 player multiplayer mode with the bars at the bottom to see who is furthest, would it be possible to recreate a tails style SA style level into the game. Sonic runs alongside a preset fast route and you gotta beat him with the bars at the bottom. Another sonicy little thing that could be coded for use in games.

Just some random thoughts and ideas anyways. Any new code for things like shooting could be useful for other fangames for sure as well. You'd have the tools to use the sonic engine to make a target based shooter or something, who knows. Just interesting possibilities with that code.
