First let's straighten things out...

-The Epic Intro-

What bugs me is this...

You last visited on Tue Feb 12, 2008 7:01 pm

And before it said 6:58 pm, when i first copy pasted, perhaps a glitch in the script for your last visited thing, because i haven't been here since last june.

Okay just an update, the reason why i decided to return is because, over the last few months i always wanted to make a new level pack, but then i lost my internet connection, but now i got it back, and i want to start a new project...Currently i haven't started yet so it seems like a waste of a topic, but i still have that urge to make levels so i will start working on this, relatively soon...

By the way i have a few new projects, well i worked on them a few months ago but then i stopped, i will post the links along with my 1st version of my new level pack.

-What to expect-

It's basically sortoff like a sprite comic-like level pack, well the level packs story is told that way, because it seems like a good idea...so here is a little summary of my idea.

In a secret base hidden in a cold mountain range, just outside of a bustling city, tails sonic's widely known sidekick decides to locate the seven chaos emeralds, to keep them from falling into eggmans hands again, tails has built this base, in cooperation with gun, it's purpose to foil eggman's diabolical plans for world domination, when tails locates one of the seven ledgendary emeralds, he calls for sonic, currently vacationing in the city nearby, to come to his base, and give sonic a rundown of his current mission, when sonic arrives at the new base, he is amazed at it's awesomeness, after tails tells sonic about what he needs to do, he starts his quest to retrieve one of the chaos emeralds, nestled in the winter wonderland, that is the mountains near the base, but sonic is not alone, shortly after debriefing, sonic and tails are greeted, by three hedgehog, and hedgehog-esques, shadow, the black hedgehog, who was told by gun, to help escort sonic on his mission, amethyst, a purple hedgehog, that was one of their top secret projects, resummoned for this important assignment, and stoner, a dark-blue hedgehog-esque furry, who while randomly conversing with our yellow fox friend, happened to hear tails slip up about his base, and because of his current boredom, he decided to tag along for fun, but still tails, sonic, shadow, thysty, and stoner, all agree, that for the moment, everyone should stay in the base, in case eggman tries something funny, and the sonic should be the one to go, so then, sonic gets into the high speed transport out of the base, and as the doors lock behind him, he is ambushed by hordes of jettysyn, but sonic, knowing how important his mission is, won't let them stop him from completing his mission, so off he went, jettysyns chasing him, to retrieve the first chaos emerald...

Yes i just made the story up now, i thought of something involving a base before, but the rest is pretty much made up.

-What kinds of levels to expect-

The wintery mountain zone
Some 2-D really fast sonic-rivals esque island-like zone
A custom sountrack, which is not a zone, but i do feel like using music other than the ones in the game.

Expect some kind of demo, sometime soon.

-Responses to the comments-

Cue:..."Now I tear it apart, okay?
Not only is it the most unoriginal story ever (stop watching Sonic X) but it includes recolours, nobody likes recolours, they are horribly unoriginal and lame.
You should never bother with stories, they're never very creative, I don't see many other successful mods with a back story... (SMS is no successful, kthnxbai)."

First off the actually are Not recolors, because i agree that recolors suck, if you want proof that they are not recolors, i'll send you proof, but i admit i made them sound a lot like recolors. And about the story, i don't care if it's unoriginal, i just want some sort of story, so it's not just some random, level to level, level pack. I do have an original comic, that has an original, or at least more original storyline, and it's drawn, i will post a link when i upload it. This level pack storyline, is just for generic storyline purposes, and so on.

-Screenies-

1: Progress done so far on the level pack.

2: Title card for Square Rock Zone.
SquareRockZone-Title.png


By the way the only work done on the level pack so far is what you see, square rock zone, is a random multiplayer sonic rivals-like 2-D race level, i haven't started any main story levels yet, and it seems like i haven't shown you anything particular, and i haven't, it's just some generic proof, so my topic doesn't get locked up again. Tomorrow, i intend to post more specific things about the level, and you might see a demo, before the end of spring break, but i'm not promising anything.
 
Cramped. Just by seeing the Doom Builder screenshot I know that. :V

and eww adventure mode nothx
 
PLEASE finish your levels before you release them. The levels you released before this had way too many issues. And I list:

1. Turrets at the first level
2. DETONS at the first level
3. DETONS that you can't avoid
4. Small, maze, cramped, no. (BTW, that's called Glaber Syndrome)
5. AFALL
6. Bottomless pits with water textures
7. Unclosed sectors
8. Lack of thok barriers
9. Too many invincibility monitors
10. Too many armageddon shields
11. armageddon shields at the boss level
12. Glaber Syndrome in the boss level
13. Fans making you rise too slowly in the boss levels.
14. Making it cramped on purpose.
15. Putting AFALL on purpose.
16. NO THOK BARRIER ON PURPOSE.
17. The end level sign just inches away from the beginning.
18. Dead-ends in two of the levels.
19. Ceiling heights are too low.
And finally,
20. redwall, HOM, and a myriad of other visual glitches that affect the gameplay.

I don't think Boinciel really helped either. His ideas, in my opinion, made your levels worse.

Wait, what did I do now?
Anyway, 2D mode is broken. Don't use it, etcetera.
 
Wow 111 views, after 1 day.

Okay, just you wait, it may be cramped, but it's sonic rivals esque, 2-D, but not that super flat, go right 2-D, just you wait, i will post some new screenshots, later on today, after I work on my new level a bit, and i know my earlier levels had issues, but my newer ones will hopefully be a bit better. There is a reason why i used adventure mode in a 2-D level, and you'll soon understand why, muahuahuahua!!

Great, another slap in the face with a wiki... I'm pretty sure SWP read that article, and there's nothing wrong with direct help.
 
True, True.

I sorta read it, and i'm open to suggestions, but still it may looked cramped, but when it's done you'll see the purpose in it being cramped.

No, I don't think that's right. I thought Glaber Syndrome was where you made stages from other games that were too small for SRB2.
I.E. Shooting game stages
 
Wow!!

Or not, because not many people would expect such an article being there but only technical stuff. Anyways, I would say wikiroll'd in this case :P

However, that page doesn't help much, because unless you have a gimmick, your level hardly will be good. And that page doesn't give any ideas for gimmicks.

Actually, tailsmastermind was the closest, but still wrong. That definition is the combination of Roboegg and Glaber Syndrome. Glaber syndrome is the porting of gimmicks and or levels from other games that may or may not work. (Although in most cases they haven't)
 
The first step...

To Glaber: Hey, the first step is admitting you have a problem.

Okay, just to clarify.

-NOT RECOLORS!!-

And to go into a further desciption.

One they are supposedly racing in this scene, for no reason, why are they racing at 1:03, why isn't tails radioing them from his secret base, and why is there a sonic statue, well i don't feel like answering that right now.

-Decription of characters shown here-

Sonic: Dude, you know sonic.
Amy: Dude, you know amy too.
Amethyst: My sisters main fan character.
Stoner: My main fan character.
Alt.Stoner: Figure it out.
Amonic: Amy and Sonic's kid, and obviously, she wouldn't be born yet, hence the time travel reference.

You might have questions about what i showed you guys here, such as why shadow isn't tainting the water with his "emo juice" or why rouge isn't somewhere, or where tails/knuckles are etc. but i really don't feel like answering questions about this, so don't ask.

Okay, i wasn't planning to show you screenshots, until after i worked on it some more, well more screenshots anyway, but i got lazy, and had other things to do, so i decided to just post a screenshot anyway, tomorrow i plan to work on my level, quite a bit, and i will show you guys screenshots to prove it, but for now i need a break...i will return, eventually.
 
See, basically now all characters are considered recolors now, no matter how different they are. The only ones that aren't considered so normally have too many clothes and such, and don't look good. So expect those characters to be considered recolors.

Also, seriously, people, if you have two character of the same species, expect them to be similar! Definitely a hedgehog will look like Sonic (for example), like it or not.
