Story of Sonic
(Because Sonics Story was already taken)
An adaptation of JetHawk95s "Sonics Story"

Version 0.05

My basic plan:
Take some levels from old Sonic games. Each zone will have 2 acts: one will be from the original game, and one a map of my own creation.

A few questions that I need your input on:
How should Sonic attack?
What stages should I do? (So far I have Green Hill Zone and City Escape planned.)

Screenshots:

That second screenshot looks promising
I have high hopes for this mod

Anyway don't forget chemical plant zone

[CommanderJersey]

Updated the OP, added two new Screenshots.
Also, my inside sources tell me that Windy Valley is going to be included tin the game.

I still want CS psuedo-8 bit.

Sonic can throw rings.
Or...
I don't know.
Maybe a bazooka

Well, this would require a lot of assembly hacking in order to get it to feel like a Sonic game. Probably the easiest thing there is to do with no/minimal asm hacking would be respriting the power crystals into rings. Other than that, I hope you nkow a lot of assembly.

Also, question: Have you abandoned yet another project?

Remember this?

Will this turn out to be another one of your failed projects? >_>"

Nope!

Let's not forget Cave Story 4-bit and 8-bit!

I haven't!

How do you plan on making the original levels authentic? Especially when City Escape was in 3D? CS also doesn't have rounded slopes like Sonic does, so you'll have to do something there.

Classic jumping on enemies, that might be difficult.
Um, well if this mod will be completed, Hill Top Zone, Sky Sanctuary Zone and Lava Reef Zone would be awesome.

I just wanted to comment and say this mod is incredibly ambitious, I don't know if you know any ASM at all, but you'll need extensive know how of it if you want to do this, unless you're just going to make it Sonic-themed Cave Story without changing any physics or weapons.

I'm going to try and recreate them to the best of my ability.

For the most part, I'm going to try to do without them, but for some things (like loops) I will make scripted events.

Noted.

Well, I'm using JetHawks Sonic Story engine, so the physics wont be a problem.
As for weapons, I'm not yet sure what I am going to do.

Edit: OH WAIT HOLD ON before anyone says that I stole his engine, I did get his permission to use it.

Let's hope that works out then!

Noted.

Oh, ha ha, I was about to say.. But good luck then! This seems like it'll be fun, I greatly anticipate a release!

[CommanderJersey]

So... for a weapon, I guess I'm making a ring launcher?
