I would like to try this game out. Where can I download?

True, I'll try that and see what happens. I was going by Palmtree Panic Zone graphics, the texture don't really change throughout. But i'll try your tip.

The background isn't near finished yet, I haven't even picked the official color pallete yet. All I need are suggestions as to what to add to the BG. Basically, I am doing this step by step until it's perfected.

Here the updated, still unfinished background for THZ with Rael's color idea.

Thanks Rael. May I replace it with your example and then work on it more? You'll of course get credit. I'm also taking pictures of Tidal Tempest for reference as well, i'd like to do some sunken in boxes for the BG too.

Thanks for the tip, i'll keep that in mind. I am posting my recent background edit for THZ. Still a lot of work to be done on it, but i'm i'm in need of suggestions before I finish. I will be adding piping and some grass/plants in it for sure.

There has been some talk about the boss and how it will work. I sketched out a boss design that will show a few things: Going from left to right, quickly Robotnik will try to chomp or slice you. Depending on how quick you are, you can manage to get in a few hits before he returns to the surface where he will travel back and fourth and cannot be reached until he dives back down.

I started the actual graphics for the zone today, hoping to have them up here by the end of the week, look for them soon.

I wasn't planning on it, I know not to do that now.

Ummm... typo... I dunno. At any rate, you gotta figure, 3 acts, total up the rings. I've seen more. If there were to be that many, in 1 level you can get around 300... if there were that many in 3 acts, you'd get 900. Besides, it's only an idea.. and i'm far from finished. But thank you for your comment.

I'm glad that you brough that up. I haven't decided on that yet. I'm hoping that it'll fit into a project where a programmer can bring it to life. I have no programming knowledge or experience at all, but I can try it if it's needed. I agree, my graphics above are sorta clumped together, it's a rough, basic example of what I want my zone to look like. It was pointed out that my original design didn't match Sonic at all, I agreed as well so i'm starting over. Check back for updates, thanx Tweaker.

Sonic makes his way into an underwater palace of fish and plant life. Swim your way though, as badnik fish and lobsters try to take a bite from you. Spin through air-tight pipes and make your way to the goal. Air bubbles will free from cracks in the blocks, take advantage for the zone is mostly underwater. Catch a breath in the pipes as they carry you to the surface.

I finally made a great a great background example for THZ:

I'm glad that you like it, I have been experimenting a little with the background, and I might change the colors to all match and also leave the ground the same.

I am as we speak, I'll scan them and have them up this week with a zone overview.

I was experimenting with some graphics from Sonic CD; Tidal Tempest and Metallic Madness (Good Futures).. I came up with this real quick: I am also increasing the brush sizes for my own designs so they match the original thanks to a tip from Rael0505. The development of Tetra Hydro Zone will be inspired by these zone designs combined.

I actually just figured it out, thanks!

One of the backgrounds. Comments/suggestions/ideas welcome. TETRA HYDRO ZONE progress... Graphics: 25%, Playability: 0%

I was going to post some screenshots in the screenshots thread, but as it seems, I think a thread should be dedicated to this. I am working on a few new zone graphics that will hopefully hit a playable project. I'll post what I started this weekend and more will be up throughout the week. As some of you may already know, Tetra Hydro Zone is a work in progress. Here are a few unedited examples: My quick sketch above, and below is my zone inspiration.. Tidal tempest Zone, Good Future

I never knew that, thanx for telling me.

Looks awesome. I like the Score, Time and Rings area.

It's my dream zone, I hope it works its way into playable form.

I am designing some zones myself, I might as well post something that I came up with when I was bored one day.

I am very much into this game, anybody need a hand for zone designing?
