z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Right first of all, that name hasn't been taken already has it? Second of all, I'm really not liking how the game looks atm, the graphics could be alooot better. The engine's fine. Using Damizean's 360 engine (thanks!), implemented with my own active support. All basic features (rings etc) are done. As well as that, there is: Wall kicking, Water surfy thing like Sonic on the 360, life bars for enemies, security lasers, switches (to turn them off), annnd a few more I can't remember right now. ----------------------------- I need to re-shade the sonic sprite and make it look less....crap. Anyhoo, screenshots of the 1st level, which takes place in a busy-type city thing at night, filled with characters walking around, socialising etc. The whole people walking around thing isn't done yet, but that's because I'd like to use people's avatars in the game =) ------------------------------ Annnnd yeah.

Guest Shadix Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Not really sure how much pictures Carnival Plant Highway are supposed to give use enough to give you meaningful criticism :\. I guess I could suggest using a better program to convert to JPGs, the artifacting in those pictures is nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 PNG is a better file format. For some reason I really like the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Lol will do. And for c. criticism, I dunno, could be an outrageous combination for a level / painful on the eyes lol dunno. Hmmm... so far.... good / ok / bad? @Rael: Yesss that's what I wanted to hear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 =D. Demo should be out in a week or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I don't like the radical highway parts. They don't match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I'll whack 'em out then. In that last screenshot though, you're running on that bridge bit, Eggman drops a dozen bombs from above, and you use those dashy things to speed up. That's why there's the whole radical highway arrow things goin' on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Ehh.. don't reshade the sprite. The sprite is like.. the best part, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSonic Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Excellent Sonic sprites, some of the best I've seen. The screen shots look pretty good so far. Keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 May I be the first to say that I hate that Sonic sprite? The rest looks good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorney Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 you need to have the sonic sprite not looking at the floor in every pose though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 It doesn't look as bad as that when the game's running to be honest, could lift his head a bit though... And yesss defo will be posting better quality screenshots soon =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ParadoxX Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I loved the sonic sprites, but it's not possible to know if the shading quality of the sprite is bad or if it's because of the bad JPG convertion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 To clarify the Sonic Sprite, here's another screenshot in PNG. Although it's not part of the demo. Hope it's clearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 you need to have the sonic sprite not looking at the floor in every pose though I believe he's going for a Sonic Adventure type sprite, khorney. And technically, Sonic's head was kinda tilted to the floor alittle, I think. Spike: May I be the first to say that I hate that Sonic sprite? It would be helpful if you'd explain to him why.

z3d Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 It's just how the head is, I'll try and alter it a bit. And yeah well spotted TRD, the sprite's mostly influenced by Sonic Adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I especially like the pose/perspective that Sonic has. Now, the ultimate question: did you make that sprite? If so, prepare to be repped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
