    Sonic 3 Resort Island
    Hi guys

    As you may well know, I have been working on the hack, Sonic Redemption. But I have also been working on a S3K hack. I plan to have completely new levels, pallettes etc. I have compiled a montage of screenshots of the hack. Enjoy.

    :D

    You're making an epic Sonic 1 hack and you're making a Sonic 3 and Knuckles hack. The fact that it's an S3K hack is epic alone, I've only seen about 3 of those before, and none of them have ever been finished.

    Ever consider altering Angel Island Act 2 so it doesn't look like it got burned? I know that's harder but Angel Island Act 1 is much more epic without the fire

    being an asshole =P
    Yes, please make Angel Island always stay unburned =P I really hate when it's set on fire, I want more of the original setting.
     
  4. This will be an epic hack.

    I CAN FEEL IT.

    Great Job, and keep it up!

    I must say, the Sandopolis pallette is gorgeous. The Mushroom Hill Zone pallette is also quite nice, along with the interior Death Egg. I hope this project is completed sometime, it looks good so far :)

    Good job UtopiaUK, now if you could edit the backgrounds, this hack would be among the best. Not too many S3K ones that are nothing more then Sprite hacks of Sonic.

    Looks great! I Can't wait to see what the new ski slope is like in Ice Cap.
    And the new Mushroom Hill Zone palette is awesome.
     
  9. And that's a shame. S3&K Master Edition is one of the hardest hacks I have ever played.

    What? No Lava Reef? =P

    On a serious note, this looks awesome.

    Just wait for the split disassembly...

    Great job with the palettes! The lack of a disassembly makes S3K hacks very rare, and thus, it is great to see work on anything with this great game. Best of luck, and have fun!

    Lava Reef hasn't been quite edited yet, same for Sky Sanctuary.


    Well ideally for my first beta. I will edit all the level layouts up to Launch Base and also the layout for Hidden Palace. I would like to keep some zone originality in there. After all, they are all visually interesting to start off with.

    I mean that AIZ Act 2 was not visually interesting. It's ugly as hell D:

    The fact that it was a Sonic 3 and Knuckles hack was enough to yank me in.

    The screenshots kept me pulled in.

    There is a Sonic & Knuckles disassembly, though it won't help you if you want to edit the Sonic 3 zones (some data, such as object and ring placement, are in the Sonic & Knuckles ROM). There is no Sonic 3 disassembly that I know of.

    AIZ2 is shit because it just got burninated. Your island would look like shit if it got burninated too. However, I want to see what happens with Flying Battery and Death Egg Zones.

    Burned, or burnt, not burninated.

    Still, UUK showed me a few pics a while back of this project, and I think it could go far!

    You don't need a Sonic 3 disassembly. The S&K disassembly has all of the Sonic 3 code. Sonic 3 is only used for the data, such as layouts, ring placement, mappings, art, ect. Also in Stealths S&K Disassembly he has all the data referenced at the end of the disassembly, some with locations in the Sonic 3 ROM.
