Sonic Fantasy

The art is awesome, so is your hack. How are you not a full member yet ? D:

TWEAKER! They deserve promotions!

 

Did you export DPLCs for the big ring as well? Remember, you have to load and edit them just like with character graphics.

 

Uhm, no? The giant rings aren't DPLCed.

 

As far as I remember, the giant rings are uncompressed, meaning they would require DPLCs to be loaded into VRAM appropriately. I remember very specifically that the big ring graphics were uncompressed. Did something change? o_O

 

The giant ring graphics are uncompressed, but that's just so they can be loaded more quickly. They're still loaded in one go to VRAM and use normal mappings.

 

Seriously? That's the only time in all the Sonic games that such a thing happens, right?

Oh wait, perhaps the end panel does the same?

 

Lol, when I read the first post I was like "Oh another person saying this and that will be in my hack someday even though I have no idea how to hack..." boy was I wrong.

I really love what you did to Sonic. He's so cute. <3 Love the monitors as well.
It's going really good so far. Keep it up.

 

Sonic looks cute =]

 

I'm loving how this looks. Simple yet effective.

 

I love the direction you've taken with the new art (especially what I'm assuming is Sonic's bored animation with the folded arms), but I'm not sure I like the placement of the ARZ swing in GHZ. The art styles seem to clash. Are you planning on editing the art for the swing at all to make it fit in a little more with the rest of the level? (Or, conversely, are you looking to edit the GHZ art?)

I've yet to play this hack, as I'm using a temporary laptop with no access to emulators and all, so I can't comment on new layouts, but from what I've seen from the screenshots, it looks like this is going to be a brilliant hack when it's completed. I'm especially fond of those monitors. They must've taken a lot of work, especially for the broken state

 

Very nice art edits you have got there, even though they are from existing games, they all fit together quite nicely.

 

I love how the art is coming along, nice work there. And the idea of a grassy ruin type zone sounds cool in my opinion.

I cant help feeling like that picture is Marble Zone art, as that is what the Marble Zone background looks like. If so that level of yours would maybe be better suited as a Marble Zone edit, not a Green Hill Zone one.

Love the project though! The layouts and new art for sonic are very impressive! The Sonic sprites make me think of the Sonic screensaver that came with Sonic and Knuckles Collection.

 

Except Jof may not want the underground parts, which Marble zone has. In fact, unless you edit the Marble zone background you will have the underground parts.

Now gonna try new version, it's looking great =D Also cool font for the title card, very original (at least in hacks).

EDIT: also I like how the hack doesn't try to be anything great, just look like a new and cool Sonic game. Often that works way better than trying to strenghen in extra features. I want new levels, not new features! And this hack seems to prefer that way =]

EDIT 2: also put tiles even in the areas that shouldn't be seen. I've found a set of spikes that is on the air because the floor normally shouldn't be visible, however I've reached the area and saw the spikes before the camera could accomodate =/ Tried to take a screenshot, but couldn't get it again (just tried once =P).
