    Hello, everyone!
    I am Giovanni, also known as VeryCoolGiova, and I am the creator of this hack.
    I would like you to consider this an apology for bringing you bad content, such as the previously mentioned Invisible Madness. I'm trying to put as much effort as I can into this hack, and I really hope you like what you're seeing.
    Please feel free to leave criticism, especially about the palette. I am colorblind, so I may have made mistakes in choosing the colours.

    I think that in palette mountains colors doesn't fit for gray sky and water colors, try use more gloomy colors for that, but not various shades of gray, because some would complain about lack of color variety in palette. I can't judge level layout, because I would be fine with majority stuff in level design and it would be unfair if I say everything is ok - try find unfair/repetitive moments in levels for ya and think about new solutions. About bad content in the past don't worry, I did worse shit and I believe there's way worse stuff on the Internet. We'll not reach Sonic 1337 hack reputation, if we'll keep improve. I'm working offline on improving shit too, so goodluck. ;)

    What exactly is a "ReadySonic?"

    Well anyway, this hack is not so bad for a start, but i'd be a bit happier if you would add more diversity and give it more of its own identity. Like Xernom said, you should adapt a better color pallete if you're going for the "gloomy" looks.

    Wish you good luck!

    Anyways Giovanni using ReadySonic is fine but I think you should try to learn how ReadySonic does it's changes so you can make more unique stuff in the future.

    Oh yeah! I think I remember one of my friends talking about this. I would try to study what this changes so you can piece together the code better and maybe come up with some unique abilities or level quirks. If you can find the lines it writes to, maybe you could change some things and experiment. Like I said, I see hope for the future!
