Here's the first release of SRB2Xtreme, a project I ended up starting with a port of Jade Gully Act 1 (which is the main feature of this demo), with the namesake of planning to have levels from Sonic X-treme; the cancelled Saturn/PC Sonic game that never came to be, but that we got some glimpses from these years.
The current plan is to have two acts per zone; the first act being a port of the original level, and the second one being almost brand new, but based on the first one with the assets, some layout/building patterns, and of course the distinct theme it has; like an X-treme level except more fleshed out, finished, and extended than the original maps.
Fresh from new year 2020, the Jade Gully Demo 1.5 features an playable Jade Gully Act 1, straight from Sonic X-treme, with some extra details added that weren't there in the first demo, the ability to double-jump with Sonic, an (currently work-in-progress) lobby map for stage selection, the X-treme HUD, an ring emblem on top of the 5 emblems for JGZ1, and a secret level (which is currently unfinished in this version)
NOTE: Due to the cumbersome process and reported issues regarding the X-treme camera usage, I've decided to retcon the previous information about that here; and would advice to not use anything inside the X-treme camera folder in the archive (which should be removed in the next proper update).
(NOTE: The following footage is from an indev version, so it may or may not be outdated to the current version)
Changelog:

I hope you enjoy this release! This one took me some more in the process of doing bugfixes and the extra stuff, so I hope that it was worth the wait for you guys!
