It's been ages since I last checked here and I want to say I adore the project so far!! You guys are doing amazingly, both with sprites and code. I'm excited to play this when it's ready!
The animations especially are looking gorgeous. I love how bouncy the running looks, It's really evocative of SA2. As much as I do love the bounciness though, to me it does look odd when at really high speed. I wonder if Sonic will lower his head a bit and have a more blurred run above his normal running speed like SA1? I always loved that touch, as if at that point Sonic just needs to coast along.
Oooh, I'd love to see how the roll differs from jumping- speaking of, the jumpball looks really cool! I adore how well it blends into his actual jump animation. The trail on the bounce attack also looks good!
Yeah, my own favorite would be SA1 Sonic, one can guess by my comment on the run animation. He had a lot of personality there and his animation in-game was spot on! Can't say the same about the cutscenes, but they have their goofy charm too. This makes me wonder though, how much influence from each Adventure-era game will be in this mod? I see a lot of SA2's influence going by the animations, bounce attack and those speed lines (which are a nice touch!). And lastly...
