I'm thinking for the past of aquatic ruin zone the ancient ruins would actually be an ancient city before getting ruined down. For the bad future the ancient ruins are completely removed and destroyed and is replaced with machinery and factories from Dr robotnik. For the good future the ruins are rebuilt and there is less water than usual. Those are just ideas I had in mind for aquatic ruin.
I suggest for the chemical plant bad future you should make it broken down,rusty and twice as polluted than the present chemical plant. And with good future of chemical plant the sky is clear and not polluted, the chemicals are replaced with water and there are less hazards. And for the past it should be the chemical plant being built over an area or under construction.
Nice progress! I really like the idea of having to ruin the future qith Metal Sonic and Save it with Sonic. Gives me an SA2 vibe. Is there a canon reason for Metal Sonic destroying Badniks and fighting Eggman?
My idea is that Robotnik is testing his traps on Metal Sonic, both to make sure that they work and toughen up Metal Sonic for his inevitable fight with Sonic.
This hack is going wonderfully so far and I love it! I wonder if there will be some sort of OST playlist in the future for some of the songs exclusive for this hack and such but I'd understand not wanting that sort of thing just put out there but it would be nice to have. I give you my best of luck for this hack! Keep up the good work I say!
Here is how I think the Max Control Option should go Jump Dash: Press Jump Button twice Drop Dash: Jump and Hold Down Peel Out: Up and Jump (Action Button) And Sonic 2 Spin Dash: Hold Down and Spam Jump Button (I really think the only change that needs to be made is the dropdash and Jump Dash, because I think there "awkward" to say the least)
Terraria JadenKatt - Terraria, Minecraft, And More! Controls: Jump Dash: Press A button twice Drop Dash: Press and hold C while in the air Super Peel Out: Press any button and hold up Spin Dash: Press down and rapidly tap the jump button
I have also a plan: Jump Dash: Press a jump button in the air. Drop Dash: Press C (or B or A maybe) while in the air AND holding down. Super Peelout: Hold up and press any button. S2 Spindash: Hold down and mash jump. SCD Spindash: Hold down and press jump.
I just love the idea of adding in Metal Sonic's Ring Spark Field! It's a great ability for him! But I'd also like to see his V. Maximum Overdrive as well!
I think making the time stones turn the player Super is a bad choice, as it negates the reasons to get the Chaos Emeralds - perhaps replace it with the S monitor effects (extended Super Sneakers + Invincibility + Shield + 50 Rings)
So sorry for skipping ahead on the beta to Metropolis Zone, but can I say how much I LOVE your renditions of Leaf Forest for Chemical Plant Zones past and Metallic Madness (Past) for Metropolis Zone. Keep up the good work! :3
Your game has inspired me. Yesterday I though to aply the same time travel mechanic of your hack to one of my games,this finished up to a remake of one of my first games.
I hope I'll find some time soon for my projects soon. Looking at this reminds me of the days when I was working on lots of things every week and it was so fun :D Amazing work as always. Idk though what you should do with Super Metal, sorry :C
I know I'm a bit late, but setting up a Discord server seems like a pretty good idea. It might even allow people that are interested in helping out with the art, music & code to more directly present their ideas or work to you. I've also personally found myself a lot more active on Discord than I am on SSRG as of late, and given that I'm assisting with porting a few things directly from CD, you may find it much easier to get a hold of me through a Discord server than trough an SSRG PM (though that's mostly my fault :P)
I think you should disable the time travelling feature in pipe segments, because it would end up forcing the player to time travel, since there aren't many ways of avoiding the pipes.
Good idea for me too If the time travelling is going to work like in CD (you won't be able to travel if you brake after a mediumlenght run) you should make the pipes insensible for time travelling I'll illustrate my idea on an example: Let's say you start with your time travel timer at 0, you time travel at 100 and it increases while you run fast enough So if you enter the pipe at 24, this value shouldn't be changed until you jump out of it, but there still should be those white sparks visible and time travel possible (so fe you can jump out of a pipe hit a badnik and the value Will reach 100)
Are we going to see any of the stuff from the 8-Bit games? Also, tweaking things to prevent crashes, glitches and unwanted speedup on 68010s and Overclocked CPUs would be a welcome optimization. There are lots of cool coding secrets you can learn from the Demoscene and from the guy who made 3D Blast.
I don't plan add any 8-bit features, since Sonic CD isn't an 8-bit game. The Mania features are an exception, and not the rule; if I tried to stuff in inspiration from all the games, this hack would fall apart pretty quickly... If your really modding your system like that, then any issues with that are on you. I can say that the hack can safely run on an overclocked 68k in Regen, however. I watched Game Huts' videos. They're pretty entertaining, but since they go over everything on a general surface level, I usually don't get enough info to implement the stuff they say. Most of it is on features I don't need to add, anyways. I don't know what the "Demoscene" is, however...
pacguy64 By stuff from the 8-bit games, I mainly meant like, levels from Sonic 2 for Master System / Game Gear. As for Demoscene, well... Look up TiTAN Overdrive and TiTAN Overdrive 2. They have a design document for how they did everything.
In case you didn't get the suggestions for the Bad Future timelines, here's a recap: Casino Night Zone - All the casino roulettes are now now rigged by Robotnik so that you'll lose rings every time you go in. Chemical Plant Zone - The chemical water makes drown 2x as fast. According to the western canon, Mega Mack can melt its victims in a matter of minutes. Marble Zone and Hill Top Zone - Lava drops come out of nowhere hurting Sonic every chance it gets in the underground sections. Labyrinth Zone - The ENTIRE Zone is flooded and no air bubbles to be found since Robotnik KNOWS well that Sonic himself hates water sections. You can make up for this unlimited air in the Good Future timezone. Metropolis Zone - For all I can think of, have the Badnik Trio (Slicers, S(Hell)crackers, Asterons) smarter and more agressive.
Hey, just came by to tell you that a well known channel by the name of Razor & Zenon played your rom hack and many people in the comments like it. Keep doing a great job with this game
The Maximum Abilities Looks Awesome It's Everything I Wanted In A Rom Hack When This Rom Hack Comes Out (Even Though It'll Be Really Far In The Future) It'll Surely Be My Favorite
Maybe you can make it so you don't time travel until you've exited the tubes. That should prevent the issue shown in the video. Anyway, hack's looking awesome as always, keep up the good work!
I can see it now: Aquatic Ruin Good Future: a playground and safe place made for all the flickies and other animals. Aquatic Ruin Bad Future: Eggman gets a hold of the ancient landmark and completely redesigns it into a factory. You have to defeat him before the factory gets fully built as you went far enough into the future where it was only partially built.
Some ideas for Oil Ocean Zone: Past: Also make OOZ an under construction stage? Also make it in the morning, so it looks all hopeful. Present: Well, Sonic 2's OOZ. Bad Future: How about oil slicks on some platforms that create ice physics and/or slip Sonic and co. over? (Sounds bad, but it would be a punishment for getting a Bad Future, and of course, Metal would be unaffected as he takes most of his running time floating above the ground) Also, maybe have one of the oil factories exploding in the background from Eggman's mismanagement, causing fire to spread along the place, in the background? Good Future: Way less Oil, nice and sunny, calm atmosphere, some wind turbines, etc in the background as well to show that the place is going renewable, due to the oil supplies running out, possibly? Also maybe have the ocean in the background, too, outside of the contained oil...
I suppose it's a bit of an obvious suggestion but in Aquatic ruins past or good future, can you lower the water? I think it'd be cool to explore the lower levels with a decent speed & I think it'd make sense since it probably only became a ruin once it was flooded.
Not really. Most of them are just simple palette swaps, and are unchanged from the Unstable Demo build. So you could use cheats to explore that if you really want to. Someone who actually knows how to art has offered to help, so they'll hopefully look much better in the future.
Oh, and another idea: Maybe have the Past version of Death Egg Zone for Metal's story, where Eggman is still building up the inside of the Death Egg, in the time before Sonic even realises of Eggman's plans? Also, of course, possibly have Eggman bring out the Death Egg Robot for 'training' for Metal Sonic, but DON'T have the explosion effects at the end following Metal.
Your New Sonic CD inspired game is realy cool! :) I have some Ideas Even music For hill top bad future you should make the clouds pollution and bulding casing smoke and disaster and make the falling briges metallic. For metropolis past It can look like wood zone! because in the beta metropolis music was for wood zone so I hope my Ideas are helpful to you and don't stop making this awesome game! TNX :)
I see 2 options for metal here: 1:he'll go super in bad future or 2: just replace the time stones with sth else. I think this is the better idea cause it'll make metal's part look even more different than the other ones So for me remove time stones completely from metal part and add something profitable for player in bad future
Maybe you should add a new transformation for Metal since he is a unique character not only some "Sonic Clone",i like what you did add this new ability for him and maybe instead of good future getting super to him,make he become super (or other transformation)on bad future,you can explore very much on metal sonic since he is one bad guy :3 Anyway good luck on your project,if you need any help on ideas or what to do with some things i'll be happy to discute this things with you,just let me know so we can chat somehow,im having very much faith in this game,plz dont give up on them ^^
Hey! I think i can help you with the metal sonic spinning sprites! I have a good sprite sheet with sonic 1/CD style MS sprites with spinning sprites and more!
Is it possible to add the Super Emeralds (and a Special stone selector like this: Chaos Emeralds,Time Stones,Chaos Emeralds and Time Stones,Chaos Emeralds and Super Emeralds???,All)
With metal sonic, you should have him collect the time stones and bring them to Robotnik at each boss. When he brings all seven to Robotnik, he could gain an upgrade that uses less rings for the destroying spike thing, and it lasts longer. Also we need that Discord.
Their should be a super secret debug/super mode That, well, allows you to go into debug mode. But how about some more features for this game -Character Customization Combine 2 characters and get a special ability -Invulnerable Peel out In Sonic CD, when you have speed shoes and also Peel out, you become invincible as long as you have the shoes active OR you can maintain your Peel out. Might be overpowered in some zones, but it's a feature in the game that could be pretty cool
Will there be debug mode for every character? I love using debug mode as Tails in other games so I would love for it to be in this game😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋.
Well, 3 act zones are a pain to pull off in Sonic 2, especially with the way I setup time travel. So if Hidden Palace was implemented, it would definitely be 1 or 2 acts. As for the mobile layout, I considered that; it'd basically require me to rebuild the level from the ground up though, which doesn't seem like its' worth the effort right now with so many other unfinished zones.
As for Amy and metal sonic not having spinning animations for future/past transition scene, I’m pretty sure there’s no problem in just using simple spinball animations for the transition
and your telling me this would fit on a genesis cartridge, that's impressive. also is sonic going to be the only one with the drop dash? it would be cool to see other characters with the drop dash. :D
I think that as a suggestion for the music, you could add a soundtrack option. The alt. soundtrack could have Genesis covers of both JP and US tracks. There are 11 levels in Sonic 2, meaning 44 level themes at most, and with the JP and US soundtracks both, 14 stages with 4 Timezones each. Yeah, you’d have to use some past themes twice, but it’s all good otherwise.
That would be absolutely ludicrous. I have no music making skills myself, and I wouldn't dare request someone make multiple soundtracks for the entire game. Don't get me wrong, its' totally possible, but it doesn't seem like it'd be worth all the effort.
Actually, there are several Genesis remixes that are perfectly compatible with this game on RU-vid. The only blanks to fill in are a few US tracks, and in that case you could just use the US music only in the "fully Genesis-covered stages": Palmtree Panic, Tidal Tempest, Quartz Quadrant, and Stardust Speedway. This leaves you, including with JP tracks...44 stage themes. Well look at that. P.S. Even better, Death Egg Zone likely wouldn't even have time travel, so you would have 3 tracks off your back, which is probably aching as it is having to actually program all this and balance it out with your life outside of gaming. It's tough, I feel you. It's a shame you'd have to slow down progress a bit, I was really getting into this. Also, Chemical Plant Bad Future looks pretty neat.
Ultrasun 2000 I can't just rip youtube videos. Even if they're designed to work with the hardware, it isn't enough. I need raw sound data that can work with the sound driver.
Fair enough. I guess I'm one to talk, i've only ever played the mobile version of the game. Either way, just an afterthought. As it is, keep up the good work!
Do you think you could add the option to skip the cutscene and have the transition go as quickly as possible? You could make the screen go white for a fraction of a second. By doing that, you can see how the landscape changes around you. Also, I'm not a fan of moves using rings. However, I can just not use the moves since they aren't required. Finally, it seems strange that Time Stones make you go super. I think, because good futures are easier to get with Metal Sonic, you shouldn't let him go super.
The cutscene for time traveling is optional, but the title card is not. Time travel functions like a normal level load, and requires decompressing all kinds of art and data. Having it be an instant flash is just not possible for me, and would require too many sacrifices to pull off. Being invincible needs to have some downside. I get where your coming from, but this particular move would completely ruin the game without a harsh limit. And yeah, I'll probably have bad future time stones make metal go super instead.
i'll go back to enjoying my hentai but i love this new update it looks cool though my tails can't be in it but ah well though i can't play this i still love this new update it's pretty chill
