Sonic 2 LD

Great job! It looks amazingly like the Genesis version!

I was watching the old videos from this again just a couple of days ago. I wanted to ask if it was still being worked on, but didn't want to bump the topic.

The small logs are better by the way!

EDIT: Also, Andlabs:
I just downloaded Mod2PSG and that music is amazing!

 

I completely forgot about this for a while, thanks for jogging my memory.

The bridge looks good with the smaller logs, in my opinion; it looks more like Sonic2 (MD)'s ratio aspect between the size of Sonic in comparison to the logs.

I'm really liking the way the level layout is unfolding as well. Those hills look like a very good representation of the S2MD's hills and I love the use of the checkerboard blocks on the corners, they do work well for both dark and light sides.

 

I didn't actually know about this project until today. It does sound great, and hopefully the Master System will get the Sonic game it deserves.

 

I don't think I ever posted my second CPZ mockup, so here it is

Just some new BG tiles I did a while ago. Not sure if you can place two monitors next to each other like that.
I could start putting together the meta tiles. I just need to know what the limitations are and possibly what each one does.

 

Looks great, but yeah, there are too many sprites in there. Currently, the monitors are sprites because they cover detailed parts of the background, I'm assuming the door+spring is a sprite as well because it animates, those alone already add up to 9 sprites sharing the same scanlines, so there would be flickering. If Sonic decides to stande there as well, there will be lots of flickering. The best thing to do would probably be having a flat background behind the monitors, so that those could be drawn with background tiles instead of sprites.

 

If this was Sonic Chaos or Sonic Triple Trouble, you could do that.

 

If you could, maybe the spring could be a little brighter?

 

Aspect Edit can't edit collision data (yet); it only supports the graphical stuff. All of the solidity data is held in "collision_data.asm" in the disassembly. There are 2 collision sets: one for ALZ - which is completely pointless since the blocks that they changed aren't actually used in the level layout - and one for the other levels. I haven't done much research into the player-environment collision detection/handling stuff so I'm not sure how the data is structured.

 

One of the best ideas on the forum. This should become the next community project!

 

Yes, after Sonic 2 HD is done.

 

Ah, good to see the project is not dead!

 

It's looking awesome! A quick silly question: are you planning on making the HUD a bit more like the MD versions, or are there some technical barriers stopping that from happening?

 

Not everything needs to be a goddamn community project, y'know.

 

I dunno, they seem to be getting on fine by themselves

 

Ahahahaha, this made me laugh. This'll be finished with just doc eggfan and glitch working on it, long before S2HD will.
This isn't a dig at S2HD btw.

 

I second all the posts above mine. This shouldn't turn into a Community Project, as I want it to have a chance to get finished before my grandnephews die.

 

Yeah, I agree. It shouldn't be a community project because I guess it's alright as it is.

I don't mean that in a derogatory way.
