I would say, only the W in the small text is fucked up. The rest looks good.


Also: It's not "the". It's "teh"

 

Just wanted a bit of input about the art in these two zones before I carry on and complete it, just incase there is room for improvement:


Lush Lake:





Rock Ruin (Background disabled):





The thing behind Sonic is a blue metal fence mesh. I need to add a touch of shading.

 

Looks nice so far keep it up =P.

 

Sup guys, Buzz Bomber here.


After snkenjoi ported the Crabmeat I decided to do this one and after shitloads of changes it's done. It works perfectly. I'm impressed since I usually fail at porting.

 

Nice, I've got to admit I can't wait to see the finished hack. Whatever it is.

 

I'm not proclaiming it to be THE BEST FEATURE EVER, STRETCHING THE LIMITS OF TIME, SPACE, AND THE MEGADRIVE, but I'm using different spike art based on the level in Sonic 1 With Fries. As seen here, Dusk Drive has bright safety tape along the edges of the spikes, while Rust Realm, unsurprisingly, has rusty spikes.


It's not extraordinary, but it's a neat touch that, to my knowledge, hasn't been done before.

 

The spikes in the second picture are not looking rusty. For me it's blood. xD


No, srs, these spikes are looking, but still too "made with paint in 20 seconds".

 

Nice work Afti!


I really like that idea, having different art depending on the zone. (I could have sworn some one did something similar in the Art & Music forums....)


Though the "rust" could use a little touch up....

 

RetroHack splash screen.





Team Speedway (SSD dev team) splash screen.





SSZ is being worked on slowly.





New TTZ palette.





Yeah, SSD is still set for the October 5th demo release, despite the loss of data.

 

Still keep the awesome stuff coming, can't wait for this demo release!

 

A quick preview of Radiant Coast Zone's art...

 

Self explanatory.

 

Is the music played on this screen?

 

Forgive me my ignorance, as I haven't taken my brain pills this morning, but I have to ask. Why would you want it to look like rust - a substance which occurs in the most boring of circumstances - instead of blood, which is invariably much cooler and usually suggests danger, excitement and the thrill of foreboding.


To summarize -


Abandoned farm machinery rusting slowly over a period of five years in the wilderness = Dull


The blood-stained steel of a nefarious dictators genocidal campaign = Exciting


Violence without blood is like porn without genitals.

 

Is this a game over screen? If so, then it's awesome. :V

 

"YOU LOSE, FUCKFACE."

 

Because RRZ is a base which has been abandoned for years, and any blood would have already flaked off of the spikes. RRZ is essentially SBZ in a state of decay.

 

I'm not arguing against the internal coherency (although it seems bizarre that you pull that card if the rest of the level - despite being rust coloured - is smooth and untarnished sheet metal) I'm just saying that blood is more bad-ass than rust, and therefore you should go with blood and sacrifice that 'realism' for some aesthetic gore. I understand you are trying to develop a gimmick for the level though, and I doubt you'll listen to me anyway (not that I'm saying you should) I just think blood would be cooler.

 

SSD was using a ported version of Sonic 1's SEGA screen for about a year. However, I am sick of seeing it.


So here's the newer SEGA screen:

 

It's off center.
