Personally, I prefer the sprites. I was absolutely crazy for models during 2.0, but I've mellowed out on them over the years. Granted, they look better on default settings now; they used to have model interpolation on by default and the only way to turn it off was to use "old" as the value for...

I know the suggestion about alternate characters has posed issues, but I figured I'd put my two cents on the Thok Debate. Sonic could have his new movement abilities, but perhaps Mighty could be added as an unlockable character with the thok. I'm primarily suggesting Mighty because his purpose...

Seems like a neat idea to me. Wouldn't even need that many new sprites; just edit the tails off of the flying sprites and add the ones from the running sprites. Plus rotations, that gives us a total of 30-48 sprites. Assuming we add a second frame, doing it Sonic 3 style would require 10-16...

At some point this month (Monster Iestyn's timeline doesn't have a specific date for the start of SRB2 TGF development), SRB2 will have been in active development for 20 years! I think now would be as good a time as any to reminisce about memories, tell stories of the past to younger ones such...

Fair enough, though maybe it could work as an option like the automatic braking in 2.2. Just an idea.

Speaking of Super transformation, I'd really like it if it was triggered by pressing the spin key in midair, as opposed to the jump key. Shields can still prevent Super transformations though, it's just that there have been too many times I've turned Super by accident because I had more than 50...

To bring the topic back towards slopes and away from Kilometers, are chi.miru's Open GL slopes going to be included in 2.2? The lack of shadows in software just bugs me for some reason and is pretty much the one reason I use GL.

At least Shadow has only a few unique abilities instead of every normal ability and nuke-thok. Shadow's generally fun to play as and provides a unique experience that no other character on the MB can replicate. In fact, most of the characters on the MB stand out from each other and give their...
