Another week, another chunk of progress. Like I mentioned in the last update, I've completed the enemy graphics for Act II and have started programming them (I'll get to balancing them a bit later). However, I've also been doing a bit of other graphics work, and got all three of the remaining characters' battle charsets DONE! Next in that department is to finish off the weapons graphics, which have the added benefit of not having to do any more of them for the rest of the game, since all the weapons are already planned out. Also, with the battle charsets, the Class System material in the database is done, though I need to make the class-switching code, which will end up being quite the undertaking.

 

Now, that's the good news. The bad news is that none of this progress lends itself to screenshots, so I'll just have to make an update without one. Now, that said, I've been moving closer to re-opening the topic, which means that I've been working on Act I's updated soundtrack. Here's the other good news: As of this writing, there are only four tracks left to update: "Among the Sewer Rats" (Xi-Metru Sewers theme), "Never Sway, Never Stray" (Arikan's theme), "The Epic Fight" (the Boss Battle theme), and the one that's given me the most trouble, "Theme of the Ancients" (the Overworld theme).

 

Also, as a side note, whenever I mention specific music tracks from the game in this blog, I'll refer to them by their in-program titles, in quotes, with parentheses explaining their context, as I just did up there.

 

EDIT: 11/19: Just one more track to enhance... the boss theme... and it's putting up quite a fight. Hopefully soon I'll be able to re-start the topic.

I wouldn't start the new topic until you have Act II done. Restarting topics that died when there's no new game play to discuss isn't a good idea.

Hey, I haven't checked up in a while. This game seems to be coming along well: I look forward to the beta.

 

BTW, if you ever need extra music to revamp...Sonic 4 Episode 1 is pretty much a gold mine for remixing. Sonic Colors has good music right out the bat.

 

Neya Out. :smiletol:

I was hoping to get the topic at least back up before then, since Act II's still quite a ways off (at least a month, if I'm lucky, and Finals are coming up soon, so... yeah...). Still, you do make a good point. I may start up the topic just before the Beta goes out, though, to hopefully recruit some more Beta testers.

 

I think, maybe (BIG maybe) I might put the link to the updated Act I in the Blog somewhere. Maybe. Not now, though. With Thanksgiving coming up, and lots of people travelling and shopping this week, very few people (especially in America) would have time to download, much less play, the game. If I do release it on the blog (or in an updated topic), it won't be until next Sunday or Monday, even though it's done and in a zip file as I type.

Actually, any music that's going to be updated is basically being enhanced from the original MIDI versions of the soundtrack, and speaking of which, it's mostly complete, at least 80%, right now, with a few gaps here and there, mostly late in the game. I should keep some Sonic stuff in mind for some later boss themes, though. There's one I have right now that isn't quite working out (mostly because of tempo issues), and I can't say any more than that because even the title is a massive spoiler.
