Sonic 1 Megamix

Okay, all Boss music slots are filled. Now I have a shitload of free music slots, so I'm gonna find ways to make use of the seperate characters with seperate music. I already ported the sad ending from Gunstar Heroes for Shadow's credits theme (lol emo) and I may do Tribute from Chaotix or something for Mighty.

More details as they come, I suppose. Suggestions are also nice, though I may not be able to see them for a good while. :P

 

I wish I could; I have limited internet access right now. File transfer is a big no-no. =(

Maybe eventually though. I really think your stuff could fit well in my hack.

 

Progress is going great. A possible preliminary release isn't too low of a possibility in the near future... I've just gotta finish my soundtrack plans and work out a few features... Once done, I can release a public beta of the current progress. Seeing as Stephen is busy and has only enough time to work on his own hack at the moment, Azure Lake will quite possibly be unavailiable in this public release cantidate. However, in the official first release of this revamped version, rest assured the level should be done and implemented.

Right now I found a new game called The Hybrid Front that uses the Sonic engine. Much to my delight and suprise, this game also happens to have its music composed by Naofumi Hataya and Junko Shiratsu -- composers of the Sonic CD Japanese tracks and the Chaotix soundtrack, respectively. As a result, you can expect some sexier music in my hack this release.

 

Yeah, Golden Axe 2 uses it. I just haven't looked into it deep yet.

 

Yep, that's correct. I didn't tell anyone else about those yet, though. =P

I actually ended up redoing all the ports myself. I can't associate too many ties... But I still appreciate his work and commend him for what he's done.

Get down!

I always felt that every boss having the same music really killed the individual feel of each boss. They each need thier own tune to say, "Hey bitch, this is MY style. Deal with it or I'll punch you in the nads!" Plus I had a shitload of free music slots to fill. =P

That's the one thing I suck at... I have my original GHZ1 layout in there, if it counts for anything. If anyone good at layouts wants to volunteer though, I'd be overjoyed if they were willing to help out.

 

w00 updates!

I finally got in all the Sonic 2 DAC samples, thanks to jman's new driver. Now also seperate music for end level acts.

I've also edited the end level title card; Since the default set doesn't support a W and I'm too lazy to add it, the new text is "Player got through" instead of "xx has passed." This is a lot more general, and should solve my problem of identity crisis at the end of a level. =P

My next task is to fill in the rest of my alt music selections (Mighty credits and Shadow end level -- I may also consider seperate invincibility tunes), as well as fill in the current visual bugs and anomolies. After that, a release is on the horizon! Stay tuned for future updates until then -- with my wireless card gone again, I'll have some free time. :P

Suggestions are also appreciated for music selections. I'm stuck here. =P
