    After being missing for a while, I'm back with a new rom hack!

    I couldn't think of a better name for this.

    Features:
    1. Improved graphics
    2. Vectors calculated on an MD
    3. Cinematics
    4. And Much More!
    I'd rather you discover for yourself what this rom hack has to offer!

    Ahg, after getting sick from drinking too much on April 1st and taking a day off, I can talk about this again.

    In case anyone was wondering. Yes, this is a real project I'm developing, and the images shown in the post are completely authentic.

    I'll update this soon to include the actual hacked rom. In the meantime, stay tuned for any news about this.

    It's been a week since there's been any movement here.

    Due to DeltaW having filed seven civil lawsuits against me for piracy and unauthorized copying, I'll have to formally present the ROM Hack to you.

    Untitled Sonic Rom Hack
    This won't be the final name. It's just temporary while I look for a better name.

    What's this about?
    I can't say much about what it's all about, so I can keep this a secret (you'll probably see a picture somewhere here).

    What I can show you are the abilities Sonic will have here:

    Drop Dash + Insta Shield:

    Electric Shield:

    (I wonder what the "!" monitor on the left is for)

    The overall goal of the rom hack is to provide a slightly different experience than the original Sonic 1, but without feeling so much like Sonic Encore. I just thought it would be a better idea to change the pace a bit and make the game shorter, but with bosses at the end of each level.

    This task has been quite difficult for me due to Team Encore's refusal to work on the project, so this project requires your collaborative help.

    Form to join the project:
    For legal reasons, DeltaW has decided that I cannot use Google Forms to recruit people.

    Image of what is being sought:

    Others:
    1. Spriter
    2. Musicians
    3. Level Designer (anyone who joins would be appreciated)
    Make sure you have a GitHub account and contact me on Discord "rojo2010" (I won't accept just anyone, though)

    If any of these demonstrate good work, they could probably join Team Encore.

    I don't have a date to release this project to the public but I hope it will be at the end of this month or beginning of May, only time will tell.

    See you the next time i guess

    ...what lol

    I think you misunderstood what I said about the "don't beg" rule. I had to stop a couple of people as they didn't provide much substance to warrant bringing people in and almost came across as telling people to do the work for them. but I didn't say you can't use a tool deemed useful for occasions like this. In this case, you have something to showcase and a solid plan that can encourage people to join your team. Your previous works, with Encore being one, also show you have the adequate skills needed to run a hack like this, but potentially lead a team as well.

    So I won't stop you if you want to advertise this or make a Google Forms link.
