My main hack. Since I can't post a download link (you will just have to find it yourself, it isn't that hard) you all get a video. The idea behind the hack is that the little animals now HURT YOU. It got more or less approval at Sonic Retro.

Bomblur. The badnik IS from triple trouble, but the sprites I did.

Thought I was going crazy. It's pretty.

ADDED MOAR TO POAST: GT, what about the music, did you make that? Is it a remix or something completely different?

Under Logic from Streets of Rage 2. Here is how it works: Emulator rip (GYM)-->VGM-->MIDI-->XM-->BIN

That is the basic process, though I could go into more detail. Also, here is a new screenshot for you guys:
The next zone.

I guess should of at least explained to you that the SHIELD PROTECTS YOU FROM THE SMALL ANIMALS.

Also you misnamed my hack in your video. D=

Also you rushed into the boss. LIKE EVERYBODY. And didn't wait. LIKE EVERYBODY. The boss eventually slows down, as seen in the first post video above.

Assuming people are gonna learn the logic of your game all at once is kinda silly, GT - without nay prior warning, this is the normal reaction you're going to see from more players.. If it's really that common, EVERYONE is going to be playing by regular sonic rules and not the rules of the reality you craft in the hack - warnings and letting them know in advance or at least making some kind of differential from the norm helps to eliminate this - the boss looks far too glitchy at the end, and inspires not a great deal more than confusion and panic when those balls appear that way.

You're working with an audience who will always know nothing of your intentions at the start...treat them that way and give them some way to at least understand without looking at a video that most people will just see as an advertising of and not hints/tips. If everybody is making the same mistakes, it's because your hack isn't clear in it's objectives and bottlenecks them into acting that way...the only way around this is to fix or inform. Choose a method that works best and see it through!

There got to be some positive things you liked!

But yeah. Way too hard huh? I am working on SOMEWAY to make it easier. Like a regular Sonic 1 mode or something. Or more shields. Or some kind of intro explaining everything. You know, so they don't tear their hair out.

I liked the design, sorta...but there was WAY too much green on that Pocky fields...and it saturated.

Honestly, no - This is one of the reasons I rarely play hacks anymore...I just can't really enjoy them as much - I mostly Walkthrough full games! 😛

Well the background DOES have a darker green.

Besides, it is grass.

Edit:
 
Still working on making it more friendly. This solves one of your problems, doesn't it Mobius? You didn't want blind jumps?

Switched the stone wall to bricks.

Edit:

You get an bonus of 5000 at the end if you get an emerald.


Also sometime between I changed the bg up, as seen in this old screenshot. Middle one is the latest.

Edit2:


And now it is not.

Hmm...where have you seen this skull before...


Oh yeah!

I know it will get swamped in all this november novel writing month. But like I said before there is a new release out. Hopefully you know where to find it without me telling you.

Ok so both Silver and SSS say if I post the hack indirectly with a indirect link, I can get away with it without breaking the rules. Is this true?
