Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Sorry for the DP I made a crappy mockup of my "custom" graphics, made from Neo Green Hill, Lava Reef Zone, and Green Hill. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Too much style mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah, it's a visual mess. You could achieve consistency mostly be recoloring though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 New Mockup with New Stuff. Mixed with Neo Green Hill Zone and Lava Reef Zone with my own custom bg. What's your NEW feeback on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 It looks like a lot less of a mess at least. The foliage in the foreground might have too much color variance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Ok, I'll try to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I never care for gray as a main color for a level unless its a machine level and even then... meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well, I was originally gonna go with brown, but I decided not to use that. Th first stage is inspired by Emerald Coast from the game Sonic Adventure, if you look at the grassy areas, under the grass Is gray rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanGameRevolver Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 you could use a little shading under the grass, but I don't even know how that would work with the lava reef stuff. The grass looks like it was just pasted on. It does look really good so far, a few minor tweaks and it could look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 NEw graphics. Added clouds new foliage and new rocks. Not much different from the last but worth lookin at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 You're still style mixing. Also that bg isn't really custom, it's just badly resized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I know that. I had to resize it to fit in the box, the real thing is too small. Plus, I'd make 100% custom graphics if I could, but I can't, so this is the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrykerTheHedgehog Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I like the graphics a lot. Good job, can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hey everyone, what do you think I should do? Should I keep the game advanced styled, or roll back the clock and go Genesis instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I say Advance style, there's not as many of those, and I'm always surprised that the effort people put into Genesis games could also be put into Advance games, but never is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Everyone keeps complaining about the backgrounds, but i really cant bring myself to care that much. They really dont bother me. If we're looking for absolute consistency then yeah, but the point of it gets across to me more than the cosmetic stuff. For example, i didn't even notice the Genesis boxes inside the first screenshots you posted until someone said something. I enjoy the mashups to tell the truth, it gives it its own feeling, and they dont stick out so much that it bugs me. Besides, making custom graphics takes a long time, and games are rarely ever finished as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that I'm really bothered by was the second you posted simply because it was jarring. I could care less about where the monitor is from.

Delta Hedgehog Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Sorry for Dp. Just a suggestion. Should I have Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as the playable characters OR... Should I have Sonic and Shadow, and Tails and Knuckles are supporting characters. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Dude. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles for sure. I've seen far to many test stages of Shadow floating about with energy pulses coming from his hands. Besides, it'd be nice to see a classic-styled game with Advanced graphics. Also, eww Shadow.

FanGameRevolver Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I wouldn't mind other characters, but if your going to add multiple characters get sonic tails and knuckles in to start with. Then consider others. if you do try for other characters would try to give them moves that can reach new areas. Being able to find new routes is what made tails and knuckles so fun to play as in the first place. Although Amy was fun to play as in advanced, just because she played so differently. Basically the characters should be designed to add new ways to play more then just changing the way the player looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessler12 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I would say shadow because the word "Darkness" in the title but what do you mean by supporting? you mean like how tails radomly showed up in the first level sonic 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
