Nitemare Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 ....Again. =O I hadn't actually planned on posting any of this for a while as I kinda got sick of announcing projects then losing interest in them. (Don't worry Retro XG is fine.) However after a certain Blazefire began IM'ing me last night saying he had spotted them on my photo bucket and was asking about it, I decided it would probably be best to post what I've been up to. I'm being far more reasonable with the game this time aiming more to complete a plausible sized game for one person to create in his spare time, each zone has a single act and a boss, with hopefully eight zones. (I"m aiming for eight, we shall see how it goes however as I'm more intent on actually finishing it than making it a long game.) Zone 1: Casino Bay Zone 2: Aqua Shrine Zone 3: Rainbow Runway Zone 4: Magma Hollow Comments and such very welcome, I'm gonna try to keep updating this thread with any progress whenever I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Rat Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Casino Bay backgrounds need a makeover. It looks like 'Vanilla Milkshake Bay', or 'Out of commission Casino Bay'. Aqua shrine looks nice, as does Rainbow Runway (although more flashy colours wouldn't hurt). Magma Hollow looks by far the best, although I think the name Magma Hallow would be better (more personal preference than criticism). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cstyler Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Awesome, it looks like an official Sonic Advance game. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The Sonic mugshot you use for the lives icon reminds me of Blazefire. Otherwise, it looks great so far. : p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felik Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Looking good. But actually I'm REALLY against Rainbow Runway. Sonic levels should be psychodelic indeed but not that psychodelic. I hated music plant and ESPECIALLY toy kingdom because I could't understand the purpose of those levels and their ideas were just stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenor Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Aqua Shrine is beautiful. And so is Magma hollow; It remembers me of scorch(ristar - Boss). One thing though; 3 out of those 4 zones (the first 3 zones) you showed seem to have the same kind of parallax - I don't know how to say it properly, so an image will do the job.

LarkSS Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 And I thought I was the only one that marveled at Aqua Shrine. <3 Edit: I guess I'm the only one that liked Music Plant. (The only good SAdv2 stage to me.) You guessed wrong. ;> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asuma Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm glad to see you working on this again Nitemare. The Aqua Shine stage is awesome. The whole color scheme is fabulous. Are you going to include the advanced style Hydrocity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Holy jeez! I never thought it could be done, but you actually managed to make Sonic Advance sprites likeable! I'm giving you huge props for this undertaking! I'm loving how this project is beginning! Can't wait to see some more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow Nite, it's been a few months since you last sent me something to test. I was under the impression you weren't doing anything lately. The graphics are beautiful, as always. I don't know how out of the loop you are lately, but it looks like we're having some kind of winter event (like a checkpoint between SAGEs). You should cook something up for the few months. I love the little arcs in the background of Rainbow Runway. The stars are adorable too. Is the ground from that island level style background you made several months back, by the way? It looks familiar I also really love the underground lava level. The parallax looks so freaking awesome; I love the way it fades. Can't wait to see more! Needs improvement. Your post quality needs improvement. Post deleted. Make sure you add worthwhile discussion to the threads you post in from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitemare Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Didn't expect such a response so fast. Cyber Rat: I have been considering giving Casino Bay a make over, when I came up with Aqua Shrine and Magma Hollow I sort of thought they made it look a bit crap. I've just been avoiding it for now as I don't want to change the level layout for it again so I'll need to sprite everything to fit with the old tiles. I do intend on doing this though at some point. Zenor: Good spot with the parralax. That was me getting lazy. Would you say it's overly obvious though and I should adjust one or two of them? Azu: Hydrocity is gone for the sake of having original zones. I do intend on bringing back another classic zone instead, thats a secret for now though. Rael: It has been ages since I last spoke to you come to think of it. Theres plenty of new stuff that'll need testing soon though. ;P And the tiles for Aqua Shrine I made for Aerosol ages ago, he sent me them the other day and said he doesn't think he'll use them. Wasn't gonna let them go to waste. Diablo: I know. It's only the graphical stylings that's advance styled however, gameplay wise I've tried to keep it as classic as possible. I'm hoping i've pulled it off. Thanks for all the other comments people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ParadoxX Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow, as someone said, it looks like a new Sonic Advance game... I aways liked the Sonic Advance 2/3 graphic style, the main problem with those two games were level design, lack of gimmick and stupid/useless features... But since Nite is going to make it as classic as possible it has potential to be the greatest fangame ever! Looking good. But actually I'm REALLY against Rainbow Runway. Sonic levels should be psychodelic indeed but not that psychodelic. I hated music plant and ESPECIALLY toy kingdom because I could't understand the purpose of those levels and their ideas were just stupid. I like psychedelic stuff, but as long as it makes some sense... Like Stardust Speedway: it's a speedway in the sky... and Wacky Workbench: it is a bouncing workbench... But I can't really say what Rainbow Runaway is, if it had some sense (ie.: it's a highway... it's a mountain) then it would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenor Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Zenor: Good spot with the parralax. That was me getting lazy. Would you say it's overly obvious though and I should adjust one or two of them? Yeah, pretty much that. Just give some variety. Azu: Hydrocity is gone for the sake of having original zones. I do intend on bringing back another classic zone instead, thats a secret for now though. Keeping it as an extra wouldn't hurt, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caramel Cod Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Well it looks great, but it DOES need improvement in my opinion. I'm not a big fan of the stars in there, although they are somewhat unique for a sonic game! Are we not allowed to have critical comments on this site? I didn't see that anywhere in the rules.

Zenor Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 you said "Looks interesting; hope to see it in action" and then "needs improvement". You didn't specify what needs improvement. Just saying "needs improvement" doesn't help at all. And you could've fitted those two messages in only one post, but as you didn't, they seemed contradictory in my opinion. Are we not allowed to have critical comments on this site? I didn't see that anywhere in the rules. We are allowed. As long as it is constructive.
