soniNeko, my hack of Sonic 1

I'm sure somewhere on this topic he said that this was the final release, unless someone does 18 new layouts for him.

 

Ogg Vorbis is an awesome format which is open-source and puts the same quality in a smaller filesize.

Windows Media Player is an obscure media player that'd just be better off being utterly destroyed and replaced by anything else, such as Winamp or kbMedia Player.

 

Or VLC Media Player for video. That program is beastly. It can play pretty much anything.

 

I. Was. Being. Sarcastic. Fuck.

All I know about .ogg is that it's a pain in the ass to convert to an accepted format for PSP's.

 

Install lame. Now one line of bash easily converts ogg to mp3. =D

 

Good Morning Zone is confusing and kind of buggy. And if you miss a jump, it dumps you back to the start of the level. As far as I can tell, the focus of this hack was the new music (and a few other features I don't care about), but I don't like most of the changes I've seen so far (haven't finished it). Changing the "Got Through Act" jingle is always a mistake (Sonic CD is not exempt from this, luckily I can kind of fix this error) And unless you're going to change the layouts, what's the point?

 

What about Sonic Megamix and , oh, I don't know, Sonic 3 & Knuckles?

 

Interesting... Well, the important part is that it transitions correctly into the "ba dum kish" at the end of the score tally.

 

I was playing through the hack (on hacktube no less) and I had an idea. You know that bit on marble zone just as you're about to go down into the "cellars"? You could put one of those superjump monitors there, and have it so you can jump up onto that high bit for a different route or something... just an idea.

Though you probably wouldn't want to do that if you've cancelled it =P

 

As with every other release of this hack, I had an absolute blast playing through this, and it's a real shame IMO that you're discontinuing it.

Also,

Do I win anything? :P

 

The screen itself kinda gives away how to get there :/

 

Holy shit nineko. Those hidden songs are utterly amazing <3333

*proceeds to download the VGM pack*

 

You've done very well with this nineko, sure, the palletes might not be the best ever (Inferno Zone was though =P ), but the music you've done was amazing.
Personally, I think you done an amazing job with the SMS conversions, and that version of the bubble bobble theme was great, one of my favorite songs.
I love the extra monitors you've put there, and the song change monitor is a creative idea. =P

It's a shame it's been cancelled, especially with the Sky High/GHZ mash-up you shown me. Anyway, this will give you much more free time I suppose.
May I ask why you decided to cancel, out of curiosity? I haven't worked on modernisation project, due to a period of myself being quite uncreative

 

SoniNeko started off as just a rom showing conversions from XM2SMPS and it expanded into something bigger and better. It's a shame that those new levels didn't make a public release but then again, at least you now know how to do several things with SonED2. In fact, you learned a variety of things that ended up in this hack.
It was a pleasure testing your hack, so yeah, thanks.

 

I love the SMS ports - you've done a really good job on them, particularly Bridge Zone. Such good memories...

 

I like this hack, I find that the Super Mario Land 2 song to be top notch as well. Anyway I find Songs 96 and 9D to be the greatest songs ever in a video game.

I never knew till now that the feather monitor had any use until now (I thought they were just there to add a bit of variety in the monitors)

I will be playing this new release now.

Anyway well done for this hack.

There are probably dozens of people around here willing to help you. I'd certainly be willing to do those 18 layouts for you but I imagine you'd deem me unqualified for the job.
