[Open Assets] SRB2 : Project Junio 2

[malom]

Since I deleted the hub and the progression would be done in a classic way, I didn't know what to do with the 85 emblems, very clearly there aren't enough bonus to unlock levels to justify their existence, so I had to delete them all except for the time and ring emblem.
hard decision after spending so much time building such big levels

If you don't mind me asking, why did the in-stage emblems get removed if the emblem progression system had to go? I understand that some people weren't fans of the progression system, but I don't think the in-stage emblems had to be axed too. They give more incentive to explore the stages, reinforcing the idea that Sonic isn't just about speed: it also rewards exploration.

I think keeping them would be a good idea to further incentivize exploration, as well as reward the people that took their time to run around finding everything.
It’s ultimately up to you though. This is just something to think about. Maybe the extra emblems could unlock prototype stages if they exist?

I could have, but there would be no reward at the end. I already used the only prototype level I had
It makes me sad but oh well.

At this point I think it's the last update I don't want to add any levels maybe

 

[FlashbackGuy]

I’d appreciate keeping the field emblems merely for the satisfaction I get for collecting them.

 

[malom]

I'm as disappointed as you are, but it has to go

 

[FlashbackGuy]

That’s fair. At least v1 is still available to play.

A little sad to see the hub version gone with the creation of the SRB2 Normie version, but as an SRB2 Normie I must admit that I like this better. >>

The field emblems could still totally stick around, not only would they be an alternative to speedrun and ring grinding for people who prefer it, but having more emblems than unlockables certainly isn't a bad thing.
Honestly I prefer it, it keeps that "Oh cool, an emblem" moment without the "where the **** is that **** emblem?!" moments.

But either way I'm totally gonna grind out those speedrun emblems to reunlock those great secret levels.
And I suppose I should update my review.

In a bit I'm still having fun replaying the main campaign as different characters. >>
--edit
Also a slight bug report.
I see stuff like this and a few floor sections sticking out in a few places. It seems to just be a visual bug but you might want to double check that.
--second edit: Rail spike is still there with no other mods loaded. Also wow I need to check my modlist for performance issues. Much more stable framerate.
