Sonic Hacking Contest 2016

I know the temptation to edit the chunks is there, but it says in the announcement (and as TheStoneBanana has also pointed out) that the only thing that can be edited is the level layout.

I don't see how this was so hard to understand.

 

Oh! was not expecting this. First thing though, no, I am not confident. Why am I on two screens? simple. 1) just to change the "Sonic Team Presents" since it's not them working on it. 2) originally it had the normal Sega text, but people persuaded me to change to my name rather than Sega. I stated in the post that this is still a BETA. This hack has indeed been in development for quite some time, and it's still no where near finished. Of course you are reviewing the game so you have to mention things, but yeah. I can't state that enough that it's still being worked on, I just wanted to share the "progress" and felt people should at least see where I'm going with this since it's been a long time coming.

The Timeposts: They work if you don't jump, should of mentioned this. But since this has happened, I will put a check so that it doesn't work if you are jumping. Thought I already did that but I guess not..."sigh". Other than that, I am aware of ALL of the issues covered. Should these have been resolved before hand? yes. Did I have the time? no, I have a life, I have things to do. That's not to say I'm cutting corners, oh no. I'll release this good and proper when I'm satisfied. I wouldn't even recommend this hack myself, I wouldn't, and it's MY HACK!. Not in it's current state. Anywho.....opinions and feedback are always appreciated. I don't agree with somethings you said, but I'll be getting to the bugs.

 

For those asking about editing chunks, we would prefer you to use the original chunks, as we feel that SBZ has everything you need, but if you absolutely NEED to add a new chunk, feel free.

Sorry for any confusion caused. But yeah, keep to the original stuff first and only add a new chunk if it is really required to fix your layout up.

 

Ah, something for me, as I totally can't make any chunks with sense. I may submit something.

 

I just watch people play my hack, I though it may got some issues, but now I feel disgusting

 

The objects. Can they be edited, new ones be made, etc?

 

No. Everything else must stay the same.

 

I'm well aware it's still in development and well aware of the kind of constraints that prevent hacks for being finished. Still, i'm reviewing the hacks for what they are now and did this once since it has a lot of cool content. Whilst I didn't recommend it at current state I did recommend that it will probably be great in the future, hope I made it clear enough as I do think it has a lot to offer in future

Also I figured out the multiple crediting thing, that was just a simple joke.

TO THE JUDGES, I don't believe I got a response as to weather my reviews can be mentioned anywhere on the website. I understand if you can't but I'd appreciate it if you could tell me so. Thanks in advance

 

Okay, so I know you said that objects can't be changed... BUUUUUUT I still have a question.
The teleporters in SBZ have predefined coordinates in their code, and I'd like to use them in the level. Am I allowed to edit the coordinates, or does that break the rules?

 

The level size needs to be the basic X:$21C0/Y:$700, or can I extend it to my liking?

Sorry for double post, we have to address some things.

 

I don't know what people are getting so mad about.

 

They're all mad because they want more sombreros

 

Uhh...


inb4 there's some reference I'm not getting

 

I'm sure Cinossu stated on one of the streams that he will do this if Trump wins.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

 

Cough Cough

Where do we submit our entries for the mini scrap brain contest? Apologies if 'm missing something obvious but it wasn't really that clear to me on the first post.
