Sonic 1 With Fries - Lock!

Those ruins aren't toxic. That title card is old.

Zone Zone was a test. That's all.

Rust Realm 3 will eventually be a full, normal level.

Huh.

 

Put a slightly revised build out. Control fixes (since I have no options screen as of yet), a separate palette for Ray, and PCM act clear music (I had room to spare, and got a good-sounding copy of the Sonic the Fighters round clear music to 8bit stereo 22050Hz. No more PCMs, still. For one thing, they only really work when you aren't playing a lot of SE. In-level PCM wouldn't work well- but they work fine on static screens)

However, we're doing this again, for lulz:

First, a screenshot of each Act in the rotation.


Dusk Drive Act 1


Dusk Drive Act 2


Rust Realm Act 1


Septic Slide Act 1


Grand Gardens Act 1

And, something that ISN'T in the rotation, but will be quite exciting:



That's right, it's Clockwork Castle. Similar to Paradise Palace, the art is preexisting, for the most part, but is turned into a completely different theme.

Next, a quote from the Readme.

And, finally, a download.

From the Wiki (new build)

 

In no particular order:

Ring placement is not final.

I haven't ported the checkpoint flashing yet.

Zone Zone is a test level.

Music during pause is intentional.

Wall recoil will, eventually, be either removed or made less of a nuisance.

I need to get around to making a V for the title cards.

The level slots (Marble/GHZ; Star Light text is a byproduct of the original level select, since it will be turned off in the final release in favor of SRAM when I figure out how to work with it) you're looking at are no longer used for their original purposes. The zones there are supposed to be there.

No, Clockwork Castle is not going to replace Labyrinth. It's the final level. The art is Sonic CD Metallic Madness Good Future.

Cope with the speed, or play as Ray. Sonic can move fast enough that, if you don't control your speed, you can do things you'll wish you hadn't.

 

It's the Ray sheet I'm using, made by some fool called Scrap the Hedgehog (lol fancharacter).

 

Ray only has the over-round eyes on the SegaSonic title screen. During gameplay, his eyes are the same as Sonic's and Mighty's.

These are fine.

 

Yours are quite nice- but there's no wheel-o-feet.

 

I would very much like that.

 

Those are great. I'll probably use the extended tail- that's how it would behave at high speeds.

 

Xeric's sprites are awesome.

 

So, I was thinking...

How many people would be interested in my releasing the game's sonic1.asm after completion?

Not the source- you couldn't do a hack of Sonic 1 With Fries; just sonic1.asm. It's my code, Sonic 1, and some publicly available stuff; there'd be no problem there.

However, while the completely incompetent Youtube idiots would make a lot of amusing topics like "wy teleport not work" because they copypasted chunks of code that were dependent in some part on code they DIDN'T copy into a vanilla Sonic 1 disassembly, those who actually had some degree of understanding could benefit from, say, the PLC-load-swap code; that was something that mystified me when I tried to add Espio long ago, with only basic ASM knowledge.

It'd also be interesting to anyone who wanted to learn about the hack's development process. For example, the name of Ray's art file...
