  1. So, here is STH5. "Why the hell is it called STH5?" Well, I think (?), or so my brain tells me, there's a hack called STH4, and that Sonic Crackers was kinda STH4, so, this is STH5. Is it screenshots that are a turn-on for you? Then, here they are!

    Opinions?

    Is this hack done? No. Will it ever be done? I'd put all my money on "no". I'm probably not gonna continue it either. You wanna work on it? What the hell do I care? Just ask permission. Now, for the download:

    (Damn, whether if it's an .ips, .bin, or a .zip, it says I cannot upload that kind of file. Help?)

    I take it that it hasn't advanced since you're last release at SSRG/your place? Either way, I thoroughly play Blue Valley. The only thing I dislike is how the springs stick out of the floating platforms, but I'm not sure whether or not it can be fixed.

    As for continuing it, I don't wanna because I've got MHZ to be working on in my own hack, and I don't take too much interest in hacking S2, with the notable exception of WFZ. In fact, Tweaker, if you don't want to use my WFZ layout in your Sonic 2 Megamix, then I may try my hand at importing it into this. I'd just hate to see it go to waste.

    Well, if you haven't changed anything since your last release elsewhere, then I could probably pull it off my old computer and upload it somewhere. If you have changed crap though, then send me it via AIM.

    I'm not particularly liking that blue palette, myself. It seems too harsh. The grass is pretty good though. Nice touch putting the floating mechanics from Wing Fortress in Emerald Hill. Also, it seems like you require invincibility to pass that one screen with all the spikes on the ground. That just seems like a rather forced and linear level design mechanic, to me. Also, that spring just kinda sitting in the air on that platfrom: Looks pretty out of place. Try placing a wall behind it or something.
     
  4. Yeah, making a multiple path layout isn't my strong point. And yes, you're invincible when you run across those spikes. Don't like the springs in the air? Yeah, I thought about doing something about it, and then I realized I didn't give a damn, so I left them.

    Robjoe, I'll send you the most recent version of STH5 on AIM.

    The pallette is awful. I don't like the overusage of what I call "Windows 95 blue". It's really the most awful shade of blue in existence. The grass looks alright I guess, but the rest is just bloody awful (Especially the trees).

    I'm not able to comment on the level layout as you haven't uploaded the ROM yet, but from the screenshots it looks... mediocre at best.
     
  6. Ehh, your opinion's your opinion.

    Are you actually continuing it? I hope you good luck on this.

    sorry, that's all I've to say.

    Well if you don't give a shit about how good your work is, or the opinions of the people who play it, then why the fuck are you doing a hack? Seriously, I want to know.

    Those palettes actually hurt my eyes with so much blue. Seriously, blue is a good colour, but that's way too blue, and a strong blue at that.
     
  13. Heh, a smart ass! :D Tell me, is it because you feel like the head douche, or you have shit going on with yourself and fucking with others is your only chance at happiness?

    Anyway, if you don't like the palette, tough shit. I'm probably not continuing this, but I figured I'd share what I did with you. (As soon as I can get you guys the ROM)

    If I don't give a shit, then why am I doing a hack? It's because this hack is about a year old, and back then was when I was actually interested. It quickly faded away.

    If you don't care, how can you possibly expect anyone else to care? There are a million of sucky hacks just like this.

    Your are going to get honest opinions. That's the risk you take for posting your work.

    If you don't want honest opinions, then go someplace else.

    To be completely honest, I'd rather be a smartass than a dumbass anyday. If I have to be an ass, at least I'm smart about it. Thinking by that logic, the term "Smartass" shouldn't really be an insult at all -- rather an expression of distaste towards those who pwn them. That's how it seems from my experience with those who use the term, anyway.

    Do you still have my boss music port? =P

    No offense Tweety, but I thought I overused blue... I was wrong. A lot of my Sonic 1 levels have blue in their palette, but the blue you used for your EHZ is kinda... uh... yuck...

    However, I like the green.

    If you're referring to the New Green Hill thread, my post was actually directed at Tweaker. Either way, the way I word posts and the way you word posts are very different, I give reasons for disliking the artwork, whereas you just insult the creator and call it shit or whatever.

    Either way, let's not let this spill into another thread.

    Holy shit, sorry for having an opinion. I might as well just go kill myself oh great lord TweeterMan.
     
  19. When I said "tough shit if you don't like the palette", it was directed to the general public. And rika, I don't expect anyone to care. This hack was still on my hard drive, and I thought I'd share it with you all.

    Tweaker, sorry, but that boss music port went with my format. It's hard to save anything when you don't have a CD burner...

    EDIT: Just felt like sharing some more pics. (I'll get the damn ROM up sometime)

    .. aiee.. that blue, it hurts *__* you should make it slightly more pale, so it's a little easier on the eyes.. the rest look really good though. The 5 on the title screen could do with a little bit more definition and rounding, but that's just me being picky. :P
