Sonic 2 LD

The ARZ song is PERFECT. Not so crazy about CNZ though.

 

Port it to the NES next

I am liking the music a lot, the art is also impressive.

There is not much else to say right now but I am loving this progress.

 

Thanks. This means that at least one person actually tried to listen to this. I'd throw my usual "I'm disappointed by the lack of interest in what I do" but I don't really care anymore.

 

Well, the people that listened were obviously stunned with awe... like me. Those are great!

 

A lack of feedback isn't necessarily a lack of interest!

I listened to your ARZ and found it to be quite nice, but I typically hold off on commenting if all I have is "Hey! That's good!" or anything along those lines.

That CNZ is simply amazing, though. If not for a few telltale signs here* and there it would be easy to confuse it for the original!

* These signs are all due to the instrument set available; they are not flaws in the song.

 

I'm too busy planning out making these things in Mod2PSG2 to really comment. Even then I'd likely modify some stuff anyway.


I'm planning on working on ARZ first since that level is easier to make, as a variant of Underground Zone.

 

Nineko, I listened to both of those, and they're spot on. Keep up the good work mate =P

 

Those jumping sprites look like they could need some touching up. Right now they just look resized. Also note that the sprites need to be squashed horizontally by just a little bit, because the Mastersystem doesn't have a perfect 4:3 aspect ratio (which means the screen would be stretched horizontally on TV screens). Kind of like the half-pipe special stages in s2 and the mode-7-esque stuff in Sonic CD.
Here, use these jumping sprites I just finished as a reference:

 

I'm working on fixing these up a ton.

Could you show a full sheet of your Sonic, so I can get them close to the same style?

Here's the progress on fixing them.

I know it's not much, yet. Progress is slow (aka, I can't work on a single task for very long). I should probably upload the base sheet I ripped using TileMolester.
I still need to redo the looking-up sprites.

 

Thanks.

Also, opinions on my Tails standing frame?
Compared to your sprite, and Sonic 2.




Also, eggfan, would it be possible to do something like this?

Looking at it up close, Tails needs to be 3 pixels taller (1 to the shoes, 2 to the belly should look okay) and a bit thinner (the difference between Sonic's and Tails' width for the larger sprites is 3 whereas for the smaller sprites it's 6. It should be less, not more. Try to get the difference down to 2 pixels, if it's too thin then 3). Notice how my Sonic is comparatively thinner than the 16-bit sprite (look at their bellies)? That's what you need to do with Tails.
It's a shame, really. Your sprites look good.
Here's a quick 'n dirty edit of you sprite for what I had in mind:

That would be cool

 

This looks great, but the palette's just too far off for me in the GG/SMS game. Think we could fix that?

 

For some odd reason, I like this more actually =&

 

Yeah, me too.

 

Thirded.

edit: even though their posts were trashed, Hez and Rockman Zero fourthed and fifthed this.

 

which was gay as fuck I might add. I suppose we aren't allowed opinions anymore? Any progress on the actual levels yet?
