Version 2.0

Four additional stages are planned to be included in the final version of release 2.0; Ocean Wind, Wood, Sand Shower, Cyber City (as an entirely separate zone, not just a recoloured Metropolis Act 3) and Death Egg Act 1. When it is coming out I'm unsure since I'm still in high school (only entering year 3) and work will likely prevent any major work for awhile.

Other plans include:

  • Knuckles the Echidna as a playable character; I've almost finished with him, just need to fix the broken 'K' in the Special Stage results.
  • Fix more bugs.
  • Add unique palettes and music for ALL acts, not just certain ones.
  • Reimplement Encore mode with all of its dynamic palettes (albeit per zone because, come on, it'll otherwise take forever).
  • Implement the original idea for Hidden Palace (collect all emeralds and then be transported there), and thusly not making it a normal level.
  • Test for any crashes/major issues on BlastEm (I don't have a Mega Drive, kay?).
  • Maybe rename it to something more original such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The Return of Dr. Eggman.

Sonic Hacking Contest 2021

I intend this to be a demo which allows the player to play through the six stages (Emerald Hill, Ocean Wind, Wood, Metropolis, Hill Top and Hidden Palace). Sand Shower is unlikely to be included due to it using tiles directly from Sonic Delta as a placeholder, and rules prevent the use of assets without permission (even as placeholders); if I get permission from Esrael to use them, Sand Shower will appear.

Version 3.0?

If I ever get to 3.0, it'll focus on Rock World, Winter and Blue Lake since they'll probably be easier to do; I've already done some of Rock World's art (as in, the background and nothing else), and Winter is going to use a modified Sand Shower tileset.
