    Yo folks, we are making a little update for this piece of software, that most likely will be presented on SHC this year!
    There is no brown Tails anymore. Brown Tails died on the way back to his home planet.
    We also decided to make not just beta hack, but also a graphical upgrate. IDK if you'll like it, or dislike it. Get ready for new zones, new music, and new mechanics!

    Also for new badniks.

    Anyway, here is screenshots.

    The collision doesn't really like those types of slopes, so currently, no plans to restore them.

    Yes, those are actively being worked on.


    As for this, this is unrelated to the topic at hand.

    Well, another year is passed by.. the time to think about things and about future?
    No, I'm kidding, lol.
    This was good year for project (3rd place on SHC, what a nice surprise!), and ofcource there was several problems during it, but in the end- all that doesn't kill us- makes us ststronger.
    I can't say when the next demo come out.. we not even decided will we be participating SHC 2025, but we will be giving you news.
    As you can see, we are not "real beta" project, and also we have some surprises for the future (cough cough, storyline, cough cough), and work is keep going!
    Thank you that you were with us all this time, and see ya next year.
    Here is new progress:

    Will Madness Mountain be Past or Ruined Present? Because I'd say past, as it seems to be moreso medieval, and especially since Aquatic Ruin is already in ruins, and may it may also be sky high, like Hill Top, and the only way I'd see it fit in with Ruined Present is if it is what happens to Aquatic Ruin, though it'd be strange for it to replace the ruins, if it was made by Eggman, either intentionally, or unintentionally, by messing with the past and causing it or making it himself, despite him mores going for factories and large metallic bases than large stone castles. Anyway, the art for Madness Mountain looks great, though I think the bricks should be made grey and white, instead of yellowish, especially in combination with the log bridge, especially since I've seen two different versions of the Madness Mountain concept, same image, just one yellower than the other. Maybe a toggle for it in the future. Also there should be a toggle for roll air lock in the future, especially since I kept getting caught on the Jungle Woods Zone springboard things. Also the trees in the background of Jungle Woods Zone should be made a bit slower, as I think they go a bit too fast.

    I got here, and i want to say: all these years with project is great. Pure awesome. I also like the new threats to rock world and madness mountain. I wanted to ask: will hidden palace zone have act 1 & 2? If there will be two acts, i imagin the act 1 was 2013 restoration act, and act 2 is layout from nick arcade.

    this is one of my favorite Sonic hacks of all time and i can't wait to play the next version.
    could you guys do a public build with small updates some time and not big updates and then release them after a year in shc? because i don't want to wait a year for a big update

    This Rom Hack is my favourite! It's amazing! I just got one question: when it's going to be released the next demo?

    Is going to be Olympus Zone or the circus level by Craig Stitt in this hack? And why you didn't called Emerald Hill Green Hill? And, WHY DID YOU CHANGED SONIC'S SPRITE? i was al ready perfect...
