Kodachrome Void - A Feast for the Eyes 2021-03-04

[Boinciel]

Sonic finds himself in a strange land.

Is it a special stage? Or is it something more devious?

Whatever the case, he has to escape quickly, before the mysterious patterns turn his brain into mush.

Returning from SUGOI 1, now with new colour effects and less filesize. This map is sort of an art project in terms of playing with dynamic slopes and seeing how spatial awareness can be played with within the SRB2 engine.

Music is overscan by Andreas Bilke. Map number is MAPKV.

Welcome to releases!

(for the Kart fans out there who had beef with Kodachrome in there, check this out)

When I last played this level back in SUGOI 1, I was using a much smaller computer monitor. Now I've played this level in widescreen it blasted my eyes out into another dimension, maybe a bit too much. it's still impressive to me how you were able to get all of the animated textures and flats to line up like that for the visual effect though.

 

[Plume]

Never got to play SUGOI, so this was new for me. (Well, if we exclude the kart version.)


A short, but quite fun and challenging level, with a unique visual style.
My eyes still needs time to fully recover from its uniqueness, though.

 

[MK.exe]

Sick! No literally sick. I feel sick looking at this

 

[V1ral]

It's cool, yeah, but maybe ask if you should do the thing before you do it? I'm a bit wary of people playing this and - like myself - being forced to look away else they puke up their most recent meal

 

[Kaysakado]

Thank you. I am happy to welcome Kodachrome Void back into my life.

 

[Mr Beagle]

This level is definitely unique for sure.

The moving lines, combined with the maximum possible contrast, made for quite a trip on my LED monitor. It really does mess with your depth perception, and it's a bit of challenge even with Tails. I did try with Sonic as well, and I guess I will need to become more skilled in his movement abilities before completing it.

Glad another generation of SRB2 players get to experience this nightmarish masterpiece

 

[eblu]

Ah yes, Dazzle Camouflage Zone is back and ready to abuse your eyes once again

 

[LJ Sonik]

One of the best maps ever made for sure. Glad to see it back.

I can always count on you to make our memes and dreams a reality, Boins.

 

[SSG3]

Ah, so this is where kart got it from! (encore mode at least). Very neat. (now we just need kart's less trippy textures and probably its theme)

 

[Rumia1]

You've succumb to the pleading before but please do not nerf the look of this wonderful stage. Preserve the masterpiece that is Kodachrome Void.

Also SSG3 it seems like you haven't played SUGOI, you should do that at some point!

 

[Elyos03]

Also SSG3 it seems like you haven't played SUGOI, you should do that at some point!

Too bad you need 2.1.25, tho...

Speaking of SUGOI, I hate to say it, but I'm all for a remake of the whole trilogy for 2.2.

Hmph. Cowardly.

 

[Rumia1]

Thankfully, this is very easy to obtain from SRB2.org's Historic Downloads page!

Speaking of SUGOI, I hate to say it, but I'm all for a remake of the whole trilogy for 2.2.

I believe that this is planned to happen eventually! Just... not for a while. (However, you can still play SUGOI on 2.2 with only minor issues as long as you don't mind strange palettes!)

 

[SSG3]

Hmph. Cowardly.

Pssh. You know I was joking around. I can handle it in it's current state. In fact, I wasn't bothered about it even in SRB2Kart V1.0 when the textures weren't dimmed down.

Jokes aside, I'm a fan of it. And what Rumia1 said: Preserve the masterpiece that is Kodachrome Void!
