Sonic 2D Blast?

yes, they are.



aren't they supposed to be smaller than Sonic?

 

From that reference pic, same height or taller.

 

Not a sprite, but more concept art for those floating Sonic heads you find that only flickies can reach sometimes.
basically an animation in a similar fashion to rings.

Abit flat, but you get the idea.

 

Would something like this work?

Also, I made the ladybug badnick:

(Side note: Yay, full member!)

Did you figure out Sonic's base point is a bit over than badnik's? Also the enemy appears on the starting cutscene, should we check that one too?

Besides it looks like they're the same height really.

Potentially, yes, although there seems to be a stray white pixel below the middle quill.

I've also made Yet Another Eggmobile™, which I'm actually pretty happy with this time around (though it could still do with some work in places). I don't know if it would be possible to implement, but since the glass becomes more cracked with the damage taken, I've taken a stab at rendering that in 2D.

Whoops! *fixes*

 

Better?

I believe so. The sonic heads look nice too.

EDIT:

I checked the intro to compare badnick sizes with Sonic, and it seems that the enemy posted above is about 1/4 shorter than Sonic. The Catter-Killer enemy is also shown, but in a position not directly comparable to Sonic's size. Judge for yourselves:

Yes, they do. Which, somehow, reminds me, the flickies need to be programmed to give Sonic a continue whenever they collide with the Sonic head. Also, the flickies could be slowed down, making them easier to catch, although if we do it traditionally, where they pop upwards out of the explosion for a half second and then fall down, it will be even easier. Also, if someone could put together a good tilesheet, I would like to make a level map of act 1 based on synchronizer's drawing.

 

Can't wait to see how it turns out, GIHunter. Remember that if any more maps are needed, I would be happy to sketch some out.

 

If we're basing the hack off Sonic 2, a temporary solution would be to use that Sonic 2 MP3 Tool that was released a few years ago.

 

No. Direct SMPS ports would be the most time conserving answer. Sure, you guys could have a stab at converting S3D Saturns's soundtrack to SMPS, but good luck making it sound good. Anyway, the Megadrive version had a better soundtrack, which certain songs were used in later games.
Focus on gameplay, and port music directly from the megadrive version, rather than making it harder for yourselves.

Anyway, so far, I'm liking the ideas for this game. It'd be something nice to have on my PSP to carry around with me. =P

 

If we're coding from mostly scratch, it doesn't seem that porting to SCD would be a really bad idea, and then you could use the CD audio, but it would be fun to try to make genesis versions of those songs.

 

Holy shit, I agree with PsychoSk8r again.

 

Would the Flickies be scattered around like Chao in Rivals 2 AND come out of badniks?

*JakeyBoy cries.

I doubt this is a hacking project yet, seen as there are no hackers.

I wish I could hack for this, but I can't. And apparently my spriting isn't tops either.

*JakeyBoy cries again.

 

I swear I'm the only person on the planet who thinks Richard Jacques' soundtrack is MILES better than the Genesis one - which has several pretty poor choices of voices for the melodies and even has a few really unmemorable tunes, like the Special Stage or Spring Stadium.

Not to say it's completely terrible - I do rather like Diamond Dust and Volcano Valley - but Jacques' is better overall.

However, it's really way too early to argue about the music, innit? Let's get the game itself designed and argue over whether the Saturn or Genesis version has a better soundtrack later.
