SonicQuest (Beta 0.6 released!)

[Wind]

Hey guys and welcome to the official thread for SonicQuest.

Introduction:
SonicQuest was originally started by me somewhere around summer of 2009, back in the 1.09.4 days. Some of you may or may not know that I official announced that SonicQuest had been cancelled in late fall of 2010...

But guess what? IT'S BACK.

How to play:

1. Download the current version of the WAD (download link below)
2. Extract the zip onto your desktop
3. READ THE "READ ME"!!! It includes valuable info on the pack and how you can become a private beta tester
4. Put the MS-DOS Batch file and your copy of SonicQuest into your SRB2 folder
5. Double-click the MS-DOS file and play!

Side Note: It's not necessary to use the MS-DOS file but it does help to automatically add SonicQuest into SRB2. There is also a separate MS-DOS that launches OpenGL+SonicQuest now. (Beta v0.5)

Not bad man not bad at all. I see you were using OpenGL when taking the pictures. I prefer software mode, but it still looks great. I'll download it and give any helpful criticism.

I see you were using OpenGL when taking the pictures.

Not even. I wasn't using OpenGL, I was just using a really high video resolution which probably made the images come out in high quality.

(For the love that is all and holy, wtf is with the image resizing on this forum? O.o)

When you upload a image here, in the post, you need to click it and then it enlarges it.

Now, before I start with my review, Can I be a beta tester for this? Anyways, lets get to the review.


Emerald Valley: 10/10
*dage4 EX explodes*
I got 3 words. GREAT, AWESOME, COOL!
I like how you did the map. Even if there's a red house (lol)
The looks of it. Everything is like a lake with lots of awesome. =P.


Moving on. Green Canyon: 9/10
Looks good so far. Maybe just try a better music. Edit some texture. So far, so good.
Even the water fall. =)


Icicle Ridge: 9/10
Sonic: WHY IS EVERYTHING IN ICE!
Tails: I don't know.
Thats because its AWESOME!
The ice look good. The music too. (Even thought its Sonic 3 music)
Maybe just try to make it harder.


Combat Coast: 10/10
Nice music you got there. The map's AWESOME. The layout is AWESOME. Everything is AWESOME. Even thought there are shortcuts.


TOTAL FOR BETA 1: 7.5/10
I really like this mod. Lots of things are AWESOME. Hope to see more in the future. Now. I'm out!

Thanks for the review dage. Glad to see you like it Also, Sky I inserted the images but when I try to re-size them they go back to the really small size the forum uses for images.

Here goes my review.

Match Levels
Nothing here, honestly. The CTF levels need improvement.

CTF Levels
Ice/Snow Level

1. The snow path needs to have some hazards, because it's faster so it needs some difficulty.
2. The ice water path needs the water to be changed to LWATER because it is ice cold, and that'll probably fit it better.
3. The first stair in the middle path needs to be lower, since the rest of the stairs you can climb in perfectly fine without jumping. If that's not your intention, then at least make the other ones only jumpable.
4. The ice in the middle path needs to have slipperyness.

Grassy Level

1. Scenery needs to be toned down quite a bit. There is way too much scenery items.
2. The red house is not necessary. Remove it, because it just doesn't fit that level.
3. Some part in the level has four rail ring ammo together. That's way too much ammo in one place. Remove them or just simply move them someplace else.

Wait, what level are you talking about? There are like 3 "grassy" levels in the mod. And I'm not sure about the specific areas you're talking about unless you use the level's actual name...

The CTF one.
