Maybe a skybox too.All you really need are some objects and slopes to hide behind, or maybe a range of textures.

For falling onto them like in the GIF in the OP, it works pretty well. For anything else, however, they're inadequate. Using them the way classic Sonic uses them is right out.how usable would quarter pipes be?
There is a modification called "uncapped" that fakes this, but it comes with its own set of problems, specifically introducing control lag into single player. Doing it properly requires pretty much rewriting the entirety of the game's logic.What wizardry did you guys do to get slopes working in Software, anyway? Is there any chance similar wizardry might be able to one day increase the 35 FPS max?
Are some of the Match & CTF stages getting this to?
Multiplayer modes are not on the priority list at all right now. Hell, multiplayer hasn't even been tested at all in months. The dev's team's priority for 2.2 is the same as 2.1: creating the best single player experience we possibly can.How about the devs focus on SP first so that is ready for release.

I don't think we have tested Coop officially in over five years. Probably longer.But the devs ARE using co-op for testing as well, right?
Is "Lat"s Tails revision being added to v2.2? The sprite work currently doesn't meet game standards, but I think it is definitely higher quality than vanillas current set of Tails sprites. Whoever the other guy was that was creating a Tails revision probably wont finish his anyway. If someone touched up "Lat"s set of Tails sprites, then we would have our Tails replacement there. Otherwise, I still think it qualifies the way it currently is due to the fact the current vanilla Tails is pretty bad, and it has more animations to boot.

Nobody on the devteam's really said anything about Tails getting new sprites, so I figure it's probably wise to set the record straight.
Iceman404 was working on a version of Tails called Miles. Whilst he's not part of the devteam, at the time we were banking on this being the official new version of Tails. Unfortunately after two angles of the standing sprite were completed life hit Iceman like a car, so the project's basically been stalled for the past year and a half (and no, we're not sharing the angle that hasn't been shown off). MotorRoach is extremely busy with getting by as well, and hasn't been able to put much time into SRB2 characters since Fucking Sonic was completed. Whilst it would be nice for him to be able to finish what Iceman started, it's unlikely that life would let this happen any time soon. As for the other spriters on the devteam, they're intimidated by the scale of work a new version of Tails would require.
Then we get to Kilometers. Lat's put a lot of effort into this, but... we had a vote, and it was decided that we don't want to repeat 2.0's mediocre Sonic-edit Knuckles and sacrifice quality just because something's completed already. We're sticking with AJ's work until a proper replacement is complete.
Hopefully this will be a handy resource to point to whenever the question comes up again (inevitably, as it will) in the future.
From the most objective standpoint possible, TailsCD has fluent animations, more animations to begin with, cleaner sprites without stray pixels, and actually looks more like Tails. I think most fans of the game would prefer TailsCD as well. It is something to consider.Because "better" is an opinion with sprite quality, and the overall opinion of the dev team is that AJ's old sprites are better.

That's not what objective meansopinions
I know, I said the most objective standpoint possible.That's not what objective means
No, you are completely missing the point. This is art. There IS no objective standpoint. There are only opinions. You can't have a "most objective standpoint" here. You like the art in Kilometers more than AJ's Tails. We do not. These are both opinions and we are both welcome to them. However, since we are the people who choose what goes into vanilla, our opinion is the one that matters in terms of what gets into 2.2.I know, I said the most objective standpoint possible.
Couldn't be any worse than the netcode.you're asking for something that doesn't even have a decent coding to be in 2.2, you know how BAD can that be?
