BlazefireLP Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Maybe less dither? It doesn't really match the style of what Sonic and other things look like in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 When I hear Technology Tree, I think of a chart listing the chronological order of mankind's developments in the computer industry. *nod* Anyway, I'm liking the fauna in that screenshot. And I must agree that you work really fast. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cstyler Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 just something very early on development[qimg]http://i.imgur.com/5jVYR.png[/qimg] [qimg]http://i.imgur.com/fGlhY.png[/qimg] it may seem like Sunset Star but the only thing in common with that zone is the "Highway on sunset theme" other than that, it's a whole new zone i'm planning on calling it "Technology Tree Zone" btw That's pretty original, kinda reminds me of this, but in the skies instead of water: I've always wondered why most of fangames are using double-lettered names for its levels? Seriously, I don't remember this trend in genesis-era games except Sonic CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 It's just a stylistic choice I guess. I've always been pretty indifferent on the alliterative names thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeFeperd Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 some kirby games also does this, like kirby's adventure. well, i dunno, maybe the good thing about this is that it makes me THINK, i mean, i was going to call it just "Sunset Highway zone" and Fortress Flow in BTS could be simply called "Underwater Zone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow toilet Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 just something very early on development[qimg]http://i.imgur.com/5jVYR.png[/qimg] [qimg]http://i.imgur.com/fGlhY.png[/qimg] it may seem like Sunset Star but the only thing in common with that zone is the "Highway on sunset theme" other than that, it's a whole new zone i'm planning on calling it "Technology Tree Zone" btw i'll avoid more similarities with Sonic BTS's zones for the other zones, dont worry >.< I love this. What about Techno Tree? Sounds easier to say but whatever floats your boat. As far as alliteration goes. I've always felt that it was just a fancy trend especially for Sonic CD, Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic 3D Blast. Just to give it style. I plan on doing it. Anyone can just throw two words together and have a name but having the first letters in each word the same always showed creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blivsey Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well, now that I've been activated here, I'll just say: it's good to see you doing even more, Lake! That said: The Spike Shield is fairly bland. Perhaps it would look nicer if it was a translucent silver sphere, with the white streak (maybe add another one too) looping around. Think like an atom. What was that weird shield that changed colors and then dissipated on its own? I noticed the Aqua Shield bounces you up as opposed to down (like in BTS) and the Spike Shield (which looks similar to the Lightning Shield) gives you a Stomp. If we get a Flame Shield, it should therefore give Sonic a backflip. It's only logical, right? Falk, we need more music from you. Always. I noticed the Badniks are always in places where the player is likely to be moving slowly (right after running up a wall, jumping up from a lower ledge, etc.). Tails is a really slow flier in this one. He flew rather quickly in BTS, and for quite a while. Hope I'm able to help ya out here, Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falk Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 [*]Falk, we need more music from you. Always. Strained my wrist right after new years (doing laundry of all things) which put me off finishing off Star Shores Act 1 for BTS (It's a little more acoustic, was supposed to lay down guitar/bass tracks). In hindsight I really should have worked on some electronic/retro/8-bit stuff in the interim but I decided to be a lazy ass and enjoy Steam sale loot instead. Stuff coming up though, and it should be going full-speed ahead soon! (Not that I'm going to reveal everything though ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Emerson Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 "Tails is a really slow flier in this one. He flew rather quickly in BTS, and for quite a while." Indeed, i thought that was weird. It was like something was pushing him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeFeperd Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 i'm back! so... i'll try to make the Spike shield a little better later, yeah, it looks a little bland and, yeah, the shield that changes colors is a "filler", i'll add come more special actions later to it but for now, it just explodes destroying all the badniks in the screen and returns to the shield you were using before it. The fire shield equal to the one in sonic 3 & knux and tails flies more like he flies in sonic 3 & knux Did anyone of you noticed the the BTS bubble shield works exactly how it does in BTS? i mean, when you take damage underwater... also, it's good to know that falk said that he could compose music for ATS too but for now, it's better to give some priority to Sonic BTS, wich needs do be done until this SAGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Oh, wow, that's gorgeous Lake. @.@ It's like a mix between Chrome Gadget and Speed Highway. The only criticism I can think of is that the stars look kinda sloppy, and there are probably too many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Winslow Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I gave the build you gave me a shot. gotta say that Sequel Shine is pretty rad up until act 2 where I'm pretty sure it's unfinished. though having that pit there at the start of the level that you can't get out of is a real drag. but since this is a dev build I'm assuming that's not staying. good to see the things I made put to use though! made me awful giddy seeing and interacting with em!

Sequel's Shine is Technology Tree =P yeah, i kinda forgot to put a spring over there and the act is only a half done. hey, do you mind helping me out with graphics on this one? i mean, i'll make everything by myself and if there is some important graphic of the game that i simply cant get right i'll ask you if you can make it pretty.

BlazefireLP Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 My only concerns with those two screenshots is 1. There is far too much dither. 2. The pallets in terms of the far green bushes/trees/forests don't seem consistent. (One has a stronger green than the other but in a seemingly awkward order. 3. There are far to many stars in one place in the shy. Try and separate them out a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeFeperd Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 alright, after i've finished Technology Tree and the other zones i'll should sent then to you and you use your own eyes to see what needs to be changed, simply because i usually think most my work is already good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Raven X Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Stupid like a fox. That's pretty great, guy. Also the speed you work at is intimidating. You got a full game done and all this for a sequel before I finish one act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakeFeperd Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 wow, a kirby fan game would be a bad idea for several reasons. unlike SEGA, nintendo likes to shut down fan games. oh well, i think i shouldnt have revealed this yet and leave this as what it is, a hidden feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
