Sonic: An Angel of Life

Well, the thing is, it's too much of a hassle trying to set everything up, having to call someone up and everything, and that alone takes forever.. And I'm not talking about 20 minutes, 40 minutes, I'm talking about 10-12 weeks. Yes, it's ridiculous, and I'd rather not wait that long, especially since by then I'll already have my new computer. It had internet before, but setting it up shouldn't be that ridiculous. Besides, I can just use my dad's computer until then, like I am right now. I hope that cleared up some confusion.

 

Exactly, It shouldn't be. Though last time I did a system recovery, I had to have two people sent down to do something with the wireless adapter, and I didn't even know there were going to be two of them ('How many monkeys does it take to screw in a lightbulb' is basically where I'm getting at). So anyways, nearly a month later, they finally come and I'm sitting in the other room, watching tv, for half an hour. So when I think they're finally done, and they leave, I try using internet explorer (as it's the only thing I have), and had the "Server cannot be found" page pop up. Looking at the little task-bar tray thing, the wireless connection icon says something like "Internet Connection: Excellent", yet can't get on. So I ask my mom what's going on, she calls the people up, and apperantly one of the guys fucked up somewhere, so I had to wait another month for them to send someone else down, and I pretty much got fed up with it. When I do system recovery, what it does is set the computer back to it's factory settings; whatever wasn't there at that time is gone, and whatever was there that may have been deleted will have been restored. It doesn't come with an internet connection (I'm pretty sure alot has changed since 2002). I had to buy a wireless adapter which pretty much came with the adapter, an installation disc, the wires (Har har fucking har), and the manuel, which at a certain point says I need something extra/wasn't included in order to proceed to the next step. Ridiculous.

 

Unfortunatly, I do not. Anyways, none of this really matters to me right now, because as soon as I get my new computer, I will be throwing away my old one away completley. And if it isn't too much trouble, May I have the posts from the one I made april 1st to this one split from this topic? I originally posted that thinking I would need more time than needed to get back to the state of progress/work the build before the computer crash was in.

 

So yeah, I guess it turned out I'd be gone until near june. Well anyways, I'm obviously back now, happily posting more images/updates. :D








I'll hopefully get into details later, but right now, I have to go to school now.

 

I originally was going for july, But I think this may be finished/released around mid-june, being I've been putting more time into it than I used to. I should be finished with the level layouts around june 2nd, so a few more weeks of object layouts and final touches should be all I need.

And yeah, thanks. :P Like I said, I still have some of my older versions, and as I look back at the colors I used that I once thought looked great, I think to my self, "wtf was I thinking lol".

 

Heh, thanks. :D And yeah, I don't really mind when people say Soned 2 is superior over Soned 1 or whatever, I'm just happy with using Soned 1, as it's got me this far. When I want art of 2 levels in one level, I open up 2 soneds, and hand-duplicate the art from the desired level into some extra/unused 8x8/16x16 pieces of the level I want the art in. If I want to try to make loops for a level in which does not have loops, I duplicate a few 128x128 tiles (Most of the times, It's going to be a 'curvey corner'), take the duplicated tile and add the high/low 8-bit-containing 16 bit pieces in the designated/required areas, change solidity, and than go through multiple trial-by-error processes using various solidity plane switchers, and testing it out in Gens +. It can become tiring at times, of crouse, but usually I'm eager to see how everything would then turn out.

 

No no no no nooooooo. :P I do use ESE 2, but only for the purpose for porting levels entirely. What I meant by doing it by hand was like how, for example, I got the Death Egg wind-tunnel bits into Rocket Runway.. Though, perhaps I should give that a try, though. I'd have less risk of objects being garbled and stuff.

 

On my next hack, yes. :P

Anyways, there's been something I've been looking for for a long, long time that I one day accidently deleted,and I've had not the slightest bit of luck ever finding it since. It's an updated object definitions list for SonED 1. I am petty sure I got it from sonicresearch before the shut down. Please, If anybody has it, and wouldn't mind uploading it, I'd really appreciate it.
