  1. So how will further releases be handle? Will we get big updates with long periods of time in between release, or smaller more frequent updates?

    I don't really know. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Right now I'm just concentrated on this release. We'll discuss future updates afterwards =)

    Question as regards sprites and importing them, may have already been answered. What kind of size are we allowed? Fairly close to Sonic size, or could we theoretically put, say, Eggman in?

    Well all the programming is based around the same collision values as the original games. This means that regardless of the sprite size, Sonic will collide with walls, floors, and ceilings as if he is his original size. Meaning sprite size doesn't affect collision. So a massive sized sprite will definitely poke through some walls.

    If that's not what you meant and you instead meant what limits there are on sprite sizes... right now it's something like 32,768 x 32,768. However, that'll change. I'll likely limit the size to something like 128x128 or 256x256. The reason is I need some room to add in displacement values for when the sprite is displayed on the screen.

    If either of these answers confused you, let me know. Sometimes I overcomplicate explainations when it's not necessary.

    That resembles the terminology I thought of when the debate started. I think they make sense and are pretty straightforward.
    That would be a nice addition.

    Use SVN. Seems to work for most developers.

    Exactly. Forgot that's what you guys call it here.

    And that's what it should be called anyway, considering it's been proven(I think)that it's not Dust Hill Zone.

    Okay, apparently you don't get it. Dust Hill Zone is an old name for Mystic Cave. Perhaps you're referring to the Desert Zone that was scrapped from Sonic 2? Because that would make a tad bit more sense.
