Sonic 2: Rebirth of Paradise

Hmm... work on the clouds. Some are upside down and they look kinda unfitting. That's my only complaint.

 

Seems like you're getting things together since there's no sign of any mess in your current sig screenshot.

As for the clouds, they look too round. Just stretch them a little bit.

 

OK fine, 18 colors. =P

 

Looks very nice, but perhaps you should use more colors to differentiate a little between the background and the foreground...


EDIT: Also, I think the clouds look a bit too solid and compact.

 

Right here, the clouds look like rocks being thrown around the same time.

 

There really isn't that much Vram space to add more enemies than what's already there. But Im sure the lava could be ported...

 

You need to do a lot more research in general, coz you've made more help topics recently than anyone else I've ever seen. You must have been made a tech member for a reason, so why not do a little research of your own instead of asking everyone about every little thing you wanna do. It'll help you learn better and will improve your understanding of the how the game operates.

 

You're using the same tiles as the other level. It doesn't feel like a new level at all.
Make different tiles with a different concept. (sth else than big bricks with a grass layer.)

Edit: I don't know if that's even possible though, since S2 EH & HT zone share tiles as well.

 

Its definitely doable, as I've done it. The art may be the same, but its in different locations in the ROM I believe, so editing one level has absolutely no bearing on the other. Its the same if you port one level's art in the SAME game to another level in the game(such as CPZ ported to WFZ). It copies that art to that level's slot, but the levels are independent of each other, so again, changing one has no bearing on the other.

 

Actually, the art is shared between the 2 levels, but when you edit the art for HTZ with SonED, it get's copied into it's own location for later editting, seperate from EHZ.

 

Is that why when you look through the tiles for Emerald Hill zone there are a couple tiles that look like they are the lines which those moving platforms in Hill top travel on?

 

Actually, I believe that's default to EHZ. If it looks screwed up in EHZ, chances are it's for HTZ, since they share the same 128x128 mappings.

 

You should really start from scratch when making a new level.

 

I think this is going to be another 50 page topic with you updating it every time you scratch your arse again.
