StealthyMC Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 A Spriter from my team is working on a new hud,watcha think? Its a wip: (ignore that the hud stuff is behind the hud sprite.) Looks a lot better over the previous one, and the place where the X icon is looks a lot cleaner. For the STR bars though you might want to make them just a bit shorter. They stretch pretty far across the screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Perhaps making it smaller would be great. It is fine how it is if the level was constantly going in a straight line, but that HUD effectively is taking up 25% of your total screen space and 50% of the left side of the screen. It looks like it might be a little much. Even if the HUD before still took up space, the fact that there was nothing behind it still allowed for some degree of visibility. I'd find a way to make it more compact but still easy to read to avoid any issues that might arise from traveling left in your levels . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwire4 Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Rawr nailed it on the head. Takes up way too much screen space for whats going on. I personally thought that the HUD had been fine the way it was, so if you guys can't figure out a way how to keep the style points you've got going on here and fix the screen space it takes up I think you'll do fine reverting to the old one as a quick last minute fix. I also noticed the positioning of the actual information in relation to the graphics and its not just how much space and visibility that the blue bars take up themselves (which is a lot ) but its also how close to the center of the screen the score and ring counters are. Those counters are almost in the middle of the screen which is invading into the action space a bit too far for just about any resolution. I'd recommend reducing the distance from the edge of the screen for the counters to somewhere around 10% of the screen size as opposed to the 40-45% you've got going on now. Its just not neccessary to have to have those numbers so close to the action is all. Perhaps a way to compromise the style and visibility problems with hud would be to make the blue bars semi-transparant? I don't know how it might look and you'd have to experiment a little, but I think you might be able to acheive what you want with something like that. It's nice to see you experimenting with it though. Sorry about the long post, its just HUDs are tricky and require almost as much tweaking as player metrics or controls and I'm just passing on lessons I've learned from my stuff. Good progress though.

OverbounD Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 At first I thought it was a title card, it is so big. Maybe you should make something similar for the title cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Spacebar Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Sorry for being a bit late, but this is sort of a nitpick concerning the latest demo. Basically, there really isn't a rolling lock for when ever you jump. I don't mean the rolling jump lock (or maybe I do), but it's that whenever sonic rolls, then jumps, he retains his acceleration, and will keep accelerating in midair. This is actually pretty fun to try out, but in the 2D genesis games, he had a sort of accel-lock for whenever he rolls then jumps. http://gyazo.com/31a10e1ea1221275a08fe01729d4a5ce Sorry for the choppy framerate, but at least it's better than a straight image. It would be nice if you'd keep this in the game, just to differentiate from other sonic fangames. Edited June 23, 2014 by Sir Spacebar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) Also getting to this late. Good thing too, because responses to alot of the posts in here would have gotten me banned, holy shit. Got some time to try this out. Goods: - The music is very well done. Extremely catchy, your musicians did a wonderful job. - The game looks great, presentation looks great too.. - The level design was smooth, nothing too annoying (design wise) and it flowed very well. Ran off a cliff because I ignored the sign, but since it only happened once I have no complaints. - On the same note, I let out an audible sigh of relief at the pit with a red spring at the end of it. Thank you for that renewal of faith. - Supersonic inclusion is nice. I was honestly surprised when it happened. - Bigger surprise was the wisp (was it a wisp?) inclusion. I had no clue what it was, it didn't hinder gameplay or remove any control while adding an ability that wasn't verbatim from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It felt fresh even if it wasn't much, and honestly is what kept me going. - The speed and visibility of the bosses' attack was a bit obnoxious, but it was simple enough to stay fun. - Very nice touch with the transition if you end the stage as supersonic. Not so goods : - Sonic feels like he has very little control of himself. He accelerates and decelerates way too slow for me. I thought i'd adjust, but I never really did, and it was the only real source of annoyance in the playthrough. - I honestly didn't notice that the game had no rolling physics, because the top speed seemed to be capped pretty low. But it wouldn't hurt anything to add it in. - Super Sonic feels like the one from Generations, he feels no different to regular sonic, in fact he feels slower, probably because he's supposed to be significantly faster. I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or not, because I read you modeled the physics after sonic 4. ------------ thats about it. Eager to see where you take this. It's already been dealt with, but please ignore the idiots who bring up BtS. ( About the physics though, you could actually make sonic's draggy physics work as a gameplay feature, IF supersonic is unlocked from the beginning of the game. This would put a value towards getting rings, as they would allow you to transform and become much faster. A bit farfetched, but i kind of like the idea of starting with supersonic unlocked from the beginning. He really isn't much of a "reward" anymore.) Edit: And that HUD design is fine, it's just way too big. Edited July 18, 2014 by Serephim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawr Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I hate being a hardass Bleus, but you're spamming and that is no good. Like Alex said there is a little button at the bottom of your post - if you feel the need to absolutely add something new in use that button instead of double/triple/quadruple posting. You've done this in a few topics now so this is your last warning (before I gotta start issuing actual strikes) - I'm going to be hiding some of these spammy off topic posts in the mean time.Also please try and stay on topic thanks.
