    Why would you hope Retro does the same as SSRG? Keep it an SSRG exclusive.

    I hope that someone starts a separate one on Sonic Retro. That being said, I definitely feel that the one here should be exclusive to the SSRG. Take pride in our community!

    I know! I was just adding my own opinion to your own. As for the contest, you all are welcome to enter this hack in the contest if you choose to do so. If it's something that you feel would be worth throwing our way, go for it! Otherwise, hold off and keep working on it. I can definitely say that if it's something that everyone is proud of that you all should totally enter it, though! I'm very excited to see the fruits of this endeavour!

    I thought Retro had an exclusive project beforehand? Either way, this is probably worth expanding on past the general summer theme.

    That was made by a person from RetroHack not Retro, plus it was a solo project.

    You have improved a lot since I last listened to one of your SMPS. Looks like our hack is going to have a decent soundtrack. Keep up the good work!

    Now I may sound like a hypocrite. But there will be a rule change coming up. It has to do with the github.

    Maybe which means if we find it in a decent state and get approved by the contributers then we enter. If not then we will continue on till it's done.

    Quad post. As I mentioned on IRC. What about shorten down the time limit for how long you are allowed to work with a revision? 1 Week per person. Also give a scentence to why aswell.

    I think the whole "stolen content" thing is to be expected, and anyone contributing should be aware that any work they produce, may have the liable chance of being disrespectably used.

    I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I'm just saying that those who contribute should expect that as a foreseeable consequence, and that the risk is down to them.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    As for the whole "Deadline" thing, this is a difficult aspect to comprehend, I mean, not every job on the project will take a week. For example, making a new level design can take about a month to do, and that's not including little tidbits of object art to match the level. Another thing to consider might be personal life issues, such as work (an example, the new title cards wouldn't have been done that fast, if I hadn't have had holidays booked off from work for three days, likewise, they would have been done much faster, if I didn't have work at all), others also have to work, in addition to school, college, university and such.

    I'm not disagreeing with a time limit, I think it's a sensible idea, but I do feel that it should be expanded to cover all possible grounds. I was going to suggest different times for different "types" of work being done, but that would be discriminate towards certain parties of a specific talent, especially those who put more ground of work and detail to their work by comparison to those who don't.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is (tl;dr), what you do is up to you, but do consider the above. I would hope that someone may come along here and shove an idea in that can resolve the problem to a state where everyone remains happy of course.... Anyone?

    The only fix I can think of is to allow 2 people to work on it at once, if both areas are totally unrelated and time consuming. For example, if someone wanted to create a new level design with new art, and another was wanting to program a new title screen, then the two can be worked on simultaneously without there being a clash. Short of doing something like this, there's nothing you can really do. If you put time limits, you can end up with half finished work and if you don't, you could end up waiting weeks or months for any progress.

    Alright. I can settle with that. It's a rather awesome idea StephenUK.

    After talking with Dandaman955. So have we decided to go with the next person. So Mr Cat and AbyssalLeopard are the next on the list. You will work from the AverageSonicHacker Revision.

    Have fun.
