    This round will start tomorrow.

    The rules are over here. The first hack will be a Sonic 1 hack. The theme for the 1st set of stages is Summer.

    There will be a disasm provided by me coming right here. It's a Hivebrain Disasm.

    Have fun.

    Recommendation: Make an announcement topic in this forum with rules. And sticky it.

    Fixed it.

    EDIT: The Disasm will come out tomorrow due to real life stuff happening.

    To pass this off. for once. This hack was played by MarkeyJester but little did he know that this is what I have started with for the game. I was going to github this but I couldn't be bothered. Here is the Disasm that we have waited for.

    GHZ 1 and MZ 1 is changed so far.

    I do not have proper engrish, and I find the rules difficult to understand. Let me see if I get it correctly... should I download the latest disassembly here, add or change a feature avoiding ambition (i.e. not to add more zones or replace their concept), then upload it again, with a different name?

    As I understand it, yes, that seems to be the idea.

    That's exactly the idea.

    I honestly still don't get what this idea has to do with telephones. :V

    For those not in the know, it's asm68k Hivebrain. Guess I'm not porting S3K's driver for the lulz any time soon.

    I'd rather not mess with Sonic 1 at all. Let me know when we get to Sonic 2.

    EDIT: Also, telephone is a child's game in which all participants sit in a circle and pass a message to the person next to them. The game proceeds in passing the message in a circle in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise fashion. When it gets back to the start of the circle, the message will inevitably be altered.

    This is similar as it's several people passing the code around changing little bits until it becomes different than what one started with.

    What about unused slots, such as Sonic 2's Wood/Cyber/Ect' Zone spaces?
    Also, is that to say Sonic 2 (when comes around) can't have Act 3's in EHZ-like slots?
    Not to mention Wing Fortress' Act 2 slot! The rules currently have a small loophole here..

    Those are allowed Calvin. That being said it depends what you wanna spend the time to hack on.

    Same here. I'm much more comfortable hacking S2.

    SBZ3 is presented in LZ4 just because its creators' original intention was to have it with a different theme, but could not make it on time. Might it break the rules by drawing a cave or dump-themed zone, and put it on already-existant 0x0103 slot? ='P

    The idea seen in this thread IS cool, but there are issues with the disassembly in question though. I do not feel comfortable with it, I prefer to use the githu... scratch that. Because not only it, but actually a plenty of other people does not feel comfortable with the assembler or the game itself, and it hints me a high chance of FURTHER discomfort with Xenowhirl and GitHub S2 disassemblies.
    I do not know what can be done to avoid this issue. what about a different thread for each game / disassembly?

    or, we should all work with S3K and edit hex! No problem with people being uncomfortable with S1 or S2 and especially no issue with having badly done disassembly! Its the perfect answer

    I'm in the middle of designing and programming a new title card for it myself. In fact, I'm streaming the designing process on stream right now.

    Are there any hard set rules as to who is editing the hack at a particular moment? I fear that if we leave this up to people to work out, we will end up with several different variations being edited and added to the thread at the same time, forcing some of the work to either be merged with others (which isn't always possible), or discarded.
