Wow, I have screens.

Hahahahah, I know -- Marble Zone sucks, and almost ruins my favourite game ever. Only Wacky Workbench is more game-ruining.

Thanks! Well, uhm. Watch this space, I guess. I have more planned.

Aww, I don't want it to get too old. Especially since, up to yet, six out of six layouts all have at least ONE invincibility monitor somewhere.

One I made myself. What did you think? Since day one I've been wanting my own music (Specifically this track, Cairo Discotheque, because I love it personally. Am I allowed to love my own music?) in my hack. As I get better, I'll be offering new music for people's hacks as well as graphics. But no ports*, that's my rule.

*; Unless I plain feel like it. Toot Toot Sonic Warrior passed that test.

 

Yeah, wasn't entirely sure of it myself, but I'm toying around with the 'theme' of having a first act that's generally smooth-flowing compared to the second act, usually designed in places to make people insult me. I could probably do with a home stretch, being able to die as the points are tallied isn't fair XD

Agreed with Toot Toot Sonic Warrior, but I like the clean brass lead of Cairo Discotheque; as the name implies, it's kind of a throwback to the early-90's European house music that Sonic CD's JAP/EU soundtrack is quite like -- things like 808 State, The KLF and even some 2Unlimited are aped in it. So, although a rougher lead would sound more thematic, I think I've done that already with the melody, which is only just the good side of cliched.

However;

Well, I'm just starting out, relatively. I'll see what I can do!

 

Yeah, in the video the tune gets to the second round of the "Nothing can survive the will to stay alive..." bit of the chorus, and in normal gameplay the music ends JUST before that section begins; in the video I suffered some slowdown around that point, so the music didn't cut off exactly where it should. I have a workaround for this, might make the tune even better.

I don't know about the key, I'll play around with it. Unfortunately I don't have perfect pitch (Nor will I ever have, I think. Genetic thing in my family, I'm afraid; my hearing is actually a bit oversensitive to higher frequencies) so any music I remake is usually 'almost', which is why I prefer to write my own.

They are. This is just a preliminary palette at the moment. I'll be playing around with some low-saturation purples for these.

As SMTP points out, this is a piece of cake; it can be done solely with the layout. And, I wanted to do it. I kinda second-guessed the community response, and decided it might be a tad unpopular. After all, given some of my layouts, merely finishing an act with 50+ rings is a task in itself!

Thanks! I'll try and keep it up.

Thanks, hahahah. I'll be happy to sit out my trial membership though; if nothing else I'd like some impetus to present something REALLY awesome for my 20th post
