Sonic Zero Beta. Newest on first post.

[Polar Exelion]

Wow, that's awesome, I can't wait to play the full game. I really like the Sonic 3 feel.

[Hypersonic645]

Love the Sonic sprite

[Strife]

Based on the way the levels are designed, I actually think Generic Garden Zone would work better as Zone 2. It might actually be neat to have a first zone that isn't themed after a grassland or beach. Buuut that's just my opinion. xD;

Aside from that, it's awesome! ^__^ Love the badnik designs, and the boss.

Sonic Zero v3 with all bugfixes

[oddwarg]

I fell through the ground in the current V3 in your first post.

And I can't find a way back up.

Witch Act is that in? I'm guessing it's act 2.

That is the one, if my memory serves me correctly. Should maybe have been that specific.

[Kessler12]

Sweet sonic sprite and the Acts are very fun! Its like playing a sonic 2 level.

[sonicyoda]

Wow, massive improvement MCKaosu. Had a lot of fun with this. Absolutely loved the boss. I like how the attack pattern changed when you came close to beating him. It was almost as if you were channeling Sonic 4!

[SonicFan2010]

I am actually surprised that it was not Dr. Robotnik that you battle in the end.

[Aikocho]

Sonic Zero v4 this time, with SONG

[Asuma]

Really you wouldn't use SendSpace...

[sonicyoda]

Crikey! Updates on this are coming out of nowhere. Nice to see commitment to your fangame, keep it up bro.

Couple of questions though:

1) Are you going to use custom sprites for Tails and Knuckles aswell? The Sonic one is bloody gorgeous and it would be cool to see the other characters drawn this way aswell.

2) Have you thought about re-adding the stage you had in the game before Sparks began work on this with you? I absolutely loved the art in that stage and the sprites were so pretty!

[Aikocho]

Give me a better uploader or file hoster and maybe I won't. Sorry about that, but I Don't have a lot of resorses for file hosting...

To answer your questions:

1) We're hoping so. I'm really glad to have a few good spriters helping us. But I'm hoping we'll get to finish all the character sprites before we finish the full game.

2) I still have the old bits and pieces. I think it's worth trying to add it again, after all the work I've put into it. Even Sparks and Lark had helped me on that zone when I first started so it's definitely worth it.

[Ollie]

You might want to have a look at Fileden. It supports direct links too.

[LarkSS]

Azu, Sendspace didn't even have any wait time for me; not bad (though I sorta preferred MediashareMediafire). Once I make a quick app for Kaosu, Zero will get to see the light of direct links. ;>

Good to hear. I was playing that stage a minute ago and I think it would be an incredible loss if it didn't get included; so pretty! Okay, so you'll have two Green Hill-ish type stages but this is a fan-game, why does that matter?

[Asuma]

I can't stand Sendspace 80kbs limit. Mediafire is much better.

No captchas, no waiting time and no download limit (at least I always download stuff there at 800kb/s ~ 1mb/s)

[Hyper Emerson]

Can't stop listening to Raving Rig's theme. Can't.

[Strife]

Kudos on the quick update.

I'm a little confused though... What exactly caused the jump in filesize from around 17 megs to a whopping 46 megs?

[sonicyoda]

I'm guessing the inclusion of the entire soundtrack via the sound test.

[Hyper Emerson]

It's not the entire soundtrack. There are only 10 songs in there (and Generic Garden is not among them. =P).

...Brrrr. I wonder how much the game will weight after it is complete?

[SonicFan2010]

We'll get more when the full version is out. I am quite surprised. What made you, creator of this fantastic game, go the route of the Battle Bird Armada?

[Aikocho]

A rather Outdated image, but this shows what is a great opportunity for all the players that use game controllers. Especially those that rumble.

But I feel it's my responsibility to announce this. We're beginning to decline in the parts of a game that really count, And that's character sprites.

A lot of time has passed due to our busy lives. Its coming to the time that most of my valued team members are going to leave this project to catch up to their own needs, And with out them, this game has a chance of stopping cold for the time being. I DO NOT intend to cancel this project for any reason. It took quite a few years for it to even make it to sage 09 when it was just me, and I didn't know very much back then...

I'm trying to say that I'm going to need some help. My spriting skills aren't advanced enough to make a good and lengthy character sprite sheet. And My programing skills alone can only go so far. If anyone has anything they can really contribute, a person to know, a place to go, or even some proof of skill, I'll be very grateful.
