Since I already had Classic Sonic Simulator open I figured might as well try putting Enzo CD's and Thunder S's examples into practice

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 combined... now that's level design!

I really dig that you combined both into one honestly, I don't personally mind it too much when classic sonic slows down a tad in platforming but what really makes it fun is when there's depth to how you approach a section instead of just doing it one way

We're getting somewhere...

@Thunder_S03

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 This is gonna get to a point where we just make a whole ass "community-made" fangame

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 it's been years since when I saw gameplay of classic sonic simulator, I still remember the old levels I made on another account

Yep I remember you lol ✌

@Thunder_S03 Progress so far

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 what if you add springs to the walls?

Springs added 👍

okay see that's not... but also like

If you got a diagram I can try to incorporate it in better 👍

Uhhh

Gotchu 1:58

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 COMBINED IS PEAK WHAT!?

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 what about some enemies now? like a chameleon on the left wall

Done 👍

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Okay cool but what is the song name?

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 The problem i see with people complaining, is the First one is Egg-man style, where he would be putting more traps and slow down areas for Sonic to actually be forced to stop and Navigate. The 2nd one is more organic areas and natural ramping into a support build how i see imo

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 That last one is gem actually

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Jump 1 is very Sonic1/2, Jump 2 is very Sonic 3, and Jump 3 is Sonic Mania. I Think I prefer Jump 1 as a buffer to a new style of puzzle. Maybe use Jump 3 if the section head has similar platforming needs speed/ timing to cross.

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 spike

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Level design is cool and all, but what's the awesome sauce music in the background?

Dash for Freedom

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Mixing both is great to teach the platforming and the momentum physics. Player gets a feel for two states of play.

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 HI SKIRBZ 😭

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 I knew you'd show up eventually 😭😭

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 You gotta do my version in game now

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 i’m 2 lazi to open css but i want to be relevant

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 pla

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 why his color diffeent

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 I'll be taking notes for my romhack. I really need to learn layout design...

@rubrii_ @sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 this is actually a really good game design video i love how it feels like each iteration incorperates new ideas until it feels fully fleshed out at the end

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Oh hey, platforming in my platforming game, how awesome! Reminder you can start level designing by making mostly a single route no brainer path and then go back and challengify it!

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Why did he die ):

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 how do you get those slopes?

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Wow, Adding a few curves really does change everything huh

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 name of the song??? sounds kinda fire

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Dash for Freedom by Fabian Del Priore

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Classic Sonic Simulator is goated

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 This is perfect

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Plays like a Sonic game should. People who make those dumb comments usually only play the first stage and assume that speed is "the game" which is why we have far too many boost gameplay 3D games nowadays which were a bit bland.

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Random thought - For the combined one, what about backwards springs that punish the player who jumps too late?

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Already got you covered

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 When bro is cooking

@sqrthinkingdude @Thunder_S03 Here ya go, if you get bored. Also, pardon my lack of drawing pad and MS Paint skills xD
