Null Space from Sonic Forces 2.2 Port (VS_Null_Space-v1.3) 1.3

[Chicmunk]

Did you hate the fact that the actual Null Space part of the stage in Sonic Forces was just 15 seconds of automation? Whelp I fixed that by remaking Null Space in SRB2. ^-^

This is a port of my Null Space stage from 2.1 with a huge texture makeover

I have made two secrets in this stage, see if you can find them. ^-^

I'd recommend playing this stage in single player first as the subtitles show when a player enters their triggers and someone else might trigger another one, preventing you from reading them.

You might also find it amusing to spam them as it resets the voice clips when you enter the triggers again. LEL

And yes there is a total of 1011 spikes in this stage, I was limited to spikes, monitors (wisp capsules) and rings. ^-^

Thanks to toaster for helping me shrink the original Level Select image,
TrailBlazer for his LOOPPOINT tutorial on his YouTube channel. ^-^ (How to make your own Custom Music Pack)
and Sphere for assisting with crashing reject thok barriers ^-^

v1.3 changelog:
1. Fixed the skybox 0,255,255 cyan part of the texture and all the colors around it to work with SRB2's pallet in OpenGL.
2. Fixed some typos in Sonic's voice clip subtitles.
3. Made the main path platforms at least 2 cubes wide.
4. Mixed up the platforming by making them FOF slopes every so often.
5. Slight ring & spike adjustments.
6. Applied the heat wave effect to the "whole stage".

2.2 change log: (v1.2)
1. All of the main Null Space textures are new or slightly changed to look more like Forces' Null Space
2. One of the secrets is more faithful to Forces...
3. All the spikes are now armed cacti instead or regular spikes to fit with Forces Null Space's spike pillars better, which means the pipe near the end is slightly different
4. Boosters are now used to allow Fang and Amy to finish the stage as well as Sonic, Tails & Knuckles

Alright! Welcome to releases. (That's a lot of spikes)

Nice map. I loved playing this map in srb2 2.1

The level is very sharp bro. Keep up the good work.

This was really nice! Hearing Sonic chime in from time to time was a total shocker, and thankfully gave me reassurance that putting in voice lines IS possible. It could've used some more fast paced segments, but it's definitely a few steps up from Forces's straight line.

The kind of level that makes you open the console and set the cam_height to 100. Never beat it in 2.1 but finally did with Amy, pretty fun, as long as you're patient.

There is a bug when you select other characters than they have sonic's voice... weird

This has the opposite issue of the original null space, where now everything is too slow and difficult. Packed to the brim with spikes, tiny platforms, and a music loop far too short for the stage, the only thing I can really say I like about it is the skybox. Granted, it is a very nice skybox.

 

[Icarus]

I agree with that, the level has probably too many narrow passages and spikes

After seeing Sonic Central showcase Null Space, I've decided to update the stage a little and fix 2 bugs:

1. Fixed the skybox 0,255,255 cyan part of the texture and all the colors around it to work with SRB2's pallet in OpenGL.
2. Fixed some typos in Sonic's voice clip subtitles.

Here's a quick example of FOF slopes which I'll be adding to Null Space:

What mod Character did you use

I mean in like the modern sonic

Having just played this for the first time in a while, here are my simple criticisms:
a. There are far too many spikes everywhere, it makes platforming at many times unnecessarily painful, especially when
b. The v1.3 update making the main path always at least 2 blocks is definitely an improvement, but it still feels far too narrow much of the time
c. Your use of thok barriers is a tad bit excessive at times. For example, I got turned around at this spot because I thought it was a dead end, only to find out that I just couldn't see the path forward past the thok barrier

Otherwise this is a quite well done level, I like it a lot.

is that a high poly model I see

 

[Almulescent]

so instead of it being a straight line, you ACTUALLY managed to make it a level!
Good Job and be proud of yourself.
