Blazing Citadel art, and the fate of Paradise Palace

Did some minor tweaks to Blazing Citadel’s art to make it look better. Shouldn’t blend as much. The horizontal beam has been replaced by a pipeline, and the bricks have some actual texture, most notably.

Now, here’s the thing:

Paradise Palace is getting nowhere fast; it’s extremely slow, linear, and boring. So, it’s scrapped.

Now, just leaving it out means that you can’t get all the Emerald monitors! It has to be replaced.

So, I need another Zone, and I’m not really sure what would be an interesting environment. Any ideas?

For ease of collection, leave those in the relevant post.

UPDATE- 2/25/10

Zone is decided. you’ll see it when it’s ready.

Zone concept suggestions

Paradise Palace replacement suggestions go in the comments. Easier to organize.

Introduction

Sonic 1 With Fries:

Team:

Afti
Oerg866
Xeric

Plot:

Robotnik is an asshole. He stole the sacred Chaos Fries, cooked in Chaos Emerald-infused oils…

With them, he has build an army of robots, and his flying fortress, Chrome Castle Zone…

If you can acquire the Chaos Emeralds, you may be able to neutralize the Chaos Fries…

Features:

Two characters- Sonic and Ray! Use Sonic’s speed to fling yourself around levels, or, if you’re a more methodical type, use the slower Ray’s teleport to bypass barriers and gaps, finding shortcuts through the Zone!

Six unique Zones!

Physics tweaks!

Two new Monitors- the Low-Grav Shield and the Emerald! The Low-Grav Shield massively increases your jump height if you have it, while seven Emerald monitors are hidden throughout the game! Collect all seven, lest Dr. Robotnik get his hands on them!

Original music by Oerg866!

Brutal difficulty!

Sunset Turnpike Acts 1/2 – Ray

Comments: This is just a video of Ray running through the two normal acts of Sunset Turnpike. It’s mainly just to show off Oerg’s music and the less-shitty background.
