Sonic hack: Sonic 2 RS Final Release + Bonus Hack

Well here it goes again back with Sonic 2 RS. this time with more improved level layouts, 3 playable characters (sonic, tails and knuckles), changed Sprite art
Also sadly to say that the development for Sonic 2 RS has Stopped  since Sonic 2 RS was in development for a very long time and it was in development before i joined SSRG and since Sonic 2 RS was a big failure on the original demo release the development slowly came to a stop and now Sonic 2 RS has been scraped and this current build of Sonic 2 RS is all there is. there won't be any more changes or any more improvements.
 
Due to fact the development had stopped the current build of Sonic 2 RS was left unstable, unfinished and there are many bugs and glitches that didn't get fixed but the current build was also left playable (emerald hill zone acts 1 and 2 are playableaccessible but other levels are accessible by the level select but unfinished)
 
So a few mouths ago or a year ago me (joshwoakesm) and thestonebanana started to work together and he helped me improve Sonic 2 RS. so anyway a big special thank you to Thestonebanana for all his help during the last few mouths of the development of Sonic 2 RS.

I would say this hack has improved slightly, although that is still unstable. Anyway, good job for you and TheStoneBanana.

hope one day you will start a new hack with something amazing.

 

It's better than before, but there's really not a lot going on in either of the stages. It's just kind of collecting rings and extra lives with hardly anything else to worry about. Obstacles are very few and far in between. Ironically the few enemies that you do have to worry about are placed directly in front of your running path before you have time to see it and react to it, so unless I roll well in advance I'm screwed by that. Act 2 is way better than Act 1 in terms of activity, but even as a 1st zone it feels like a little too much of a cakewalk imo.

I looked a a couple of other stages and the Casino Night Act 1 doesn't look like anything changed from before, so not much to say there. The other zones I looked at were either incomplete or unchanged from the original Sonic 2.

 

when it will be 100% completed?

 

It won't be. As stated in the main post, Sonic 2: RS was cancelled and will not have any more development time.

 

In my opinion, the main problem in this hack is the level design. It feels kind of bland, with nothing but rings and lives, so we just run and collect 200 rings with ease. 

Also, the loops would be better if they're not that long or high. It is quite common you fall at the middle of the loop due to its height.

But I'd like to see a final version, it's a shame that the game has been canceled.

 

To be honest my level layouts are not that good but im slowly improving i can tell you that.

but thanks for your opinion.
