Again, stress at work.

Um... I've tried playing the demo, but after level 1, that's it. I can't get into level 2.

How strange... When you hit the second logo, does it not do anything? If it doesn't, is logo one still active?

Irixion said:

Though RHS, why did you leave so much space? (Unless you're planning on extending the level and relocating the emerald.)
Click to expand...

In the real game, the level is already complete. I have used that space, and the emerald is located elsewhere.

Also while this concept is unique, I don't think it works out very well. There are no pointers as to where the emerald is, and the level design is also a bit confusing.

Yes, I know. I did think about putting pointers and etc into the game, but then...

This is the problem. I could make it a temporary thing, but how? I could make a new monitor to make a pointer appear for a few seconds or something, but otherwise, any ideas?

Hmm... Maybe you should simplify the level layout (for example let's say three paralleling, crossing paths) but in return make the emerald harder to get to by placing tricky platforming passages, spikes and traps and badniks for example.

Difficulty levels.

Easy: directions are very visible
Medium: few or no directions
Hard: sorry Sonic but the emerald is in another castle

Or something

Hitaxas · May 23, 2008

Or perhaps an object that gives hints? =3

Irixion · May 23, 2008

Ah yes, another Sa3 Goodness. Make sure they're rare and give good hints not like "It's somewhere in this level."

Edit: typo

HighFrictionZone · May 23, 2008

Not sure if this is a good idea, but perhaps like pressing the C button will, instead of making you jump, spawn an arrow that points in the general direction of the emerald for a few seconds, and then disappears? You could even have it drain like five or ten rings. This way, people who need the help can get it, but it won't be without cost. I don't really know what is or is not doable, I'm more of an ideas person.

This reminds me of the Tikal orbs in Knuckles SA1 stages. "THIS WAY!"

That's not a bad idea actually.

Irixion · May 24, 2008

Make it an arrow and not a ball that may go into a wall you're beside >.>. If you're going to put that have the emerald spawn randomly in a designated area, so it can't spawn infront of the player for example?

redhotsonic · May 24, 2008

What are you on about?

That's kinda like what I was thinking, but more like the TV's in SA2B, where it describes the general location of the emerald.

redhotsonic · May 25, 2008

Well, I like the idea of draining the rings to show an arrow for a few moments. It will be a new challenge so I will give it a go.

Irixion · May 26, 2008

I meant in Sonic Adventure, if you get a 'this way' ball thing, if the emerald say, is on the other side of the mountain you're on, it goes into the wall and out of sight. But yeah the arrow is a much better idea =P

For those interested, a new release has been made of this hack (and possibly the last). You can get it from the Sonic 2 Recreation page.

I don't think RHS is able to access this website anymore, so I've posted this for him. Enjoy, and all that good stuff. =P

I don't know; something about the computer he uses at work. It's not that important, really—I wouldn't worry about it.

Reuploaded, RHS forgot to fix a bug.

Ah, I thought it was something serious..

Anyway, from what I've played so far, it seems to have improved quite alot from previous versions..
