If I recall correctly, I was first working on the earliest versions of 'Sonic 2 CD Edition' around new years, 2018. Sonic 2 CD Remix is 7 years old! How time flies...
Bud, I'm just glad you're still working on it, it'd be a shame if I had to mark this as another cancelled hack, keep up the good work, I'm loving it so far!
It's so good to see this project still alive, no matter how long it takes! Perfect timing too since I just got back into Sonic CD and am itching for more of that gameplay, lol Hearing that Hill Top motif in Emerald Hill Past at 5:16 makes me wonder if that was an intentional reference to Hill Top Zone being a past version of Emerald Hill Zone in the Sonic 2 Beta. If so, that's an incredible reference, and pulling from the time travel aspects of the Beta has so much potential for cool stuff in a Sonic 2 and CD mash up project. It's absolutely perfect, I love it!
Incredible! my favorite two-tailed Water Pokémon modder is back X3 i LOVE how you made metal's eyes go grey when he cant use his charge. Much better than cluttering up the display with a meter or something and i like how the subtle reference to how his eyes are displayed differently in CD than elsewhere! great job Pacca, always love seeing your work
I'm suprised to see you return so quickly, I've missed seeing your stuff fairly often, so I'm glad you're around! PS. About struggles with art, its wise to take breaks to not burn out too much, but still keep trying even if you don't get it the first time!
I remember this hack. I played it years ago and can’t believe to see how far you came along with it! I’ve even made some logos after so many years that’ll be a good replacement for the title screen!
Been following this for years. So glad it's not abandoned and the changes I agree with and are great. Metals eye changing colour is very cool. Great work 😁👍
Thanks for the update! I like that we get to see the thought process that went into some of these changes, like the spark ability for metal sonic. I think you made a fair point regarding boring play. For example, most kirby games allow you to use kirby's unlimited flight to fly over enemies and stuff. But more often than not, that alone isn't enough to cheese the game. I think a similar argument could be made here. Overall, I like the revision of the ability. My only suggestion is to maybe play around with the cool-off time, like extending it by a few seconds or so. Alternatively, you could take the sonic superstars route and make it to where it's only replenished after passing a checkpoint. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're trying to have more self confidence. Even if you make something that isn't the best, it's still better than having made nothing at all. Lastly, I'm rather interested in the secret project you mentioned. I hope we can see it soon-ish! I think that's more or less it. Have a good one :D
Oh man, I remember playing the second demo a few years back, glad to see it’s still being worked on! Sonic CD’s my absolute FAVORITE Sonic Game, so this is (not biased I promise) a INFINITE/10 in my books! Keep up the Actually Absolutely Amazing work! 🤩
Man its been a while since Ive heard of this project... Glad to see its still going! Hoping it can be done one day! (Also RUclips zone was so satisfying to me lol)
Glad to see this is still going! Personally - I think the project is coming along very nicely - if you're doing it mostly solo, its understandable its going to take time. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress 😁
That does look strange on close inspection! The artwork is fine, but for some reason the Super Sonic palette overrides the black color used for the eyes! Will fix x3
Wow, so this is how sonic 2 CD remix looks like now..? This is marvelous, I cannot wait to play this when the final release comes! [ But remember, make the game in your prefered pace, don't rush the game. ]
i think, in the past variant of emerald hill zone, the background should show the water, like in lauch base or hydrocity. i also half expected hill top to just be emerald hill zone past, but apart from that, this looks really good!
I've thought about changing the background for the water before, but I have no clue how Launch base did it; background effects aren't my specialty x3 I'll see what I can do though! Glad you like it :3
5:00 if you are concerned about supersonic and forgetting what shield the player has at that time, you could always draw a power up / item hud under the rings like some rom hacks do, stars could flicker when they are about to expire, have shields show up there. Etc Probably wouldn’t need more 3-5 on a row; would still be a low profile fix with out putting too much clutter on the screen
@@Fiendzy Global vram is really tight in this project (it's mostly eaten by space for the time posts and time stone/badnik teleporter), but that does sound like a cool idea!
Suggestion: After the third second of running, the future/past symbol flicks, you know that, but when you stop running at the third second, in this hack, it stays, but in the original Sonic CD, it disappears and you have to find another future/past sign. Make it behave like Sonic CD
I'm torn on that, Sonic 2s' levels aren't really built for time travel, which makes it harder to do, and easier to lose the sign power by mistake. I've had it this way for ages to make time travel more fun and less punishing. Perhaps I could make this a toggleable option in the options menu!
Not soon at all. Sonic 2 is the priority atm, and the feature I was hoping to use for the Sonic CD levels has never worked as I hoped. Maybe someday, but that day will be after the Sonic 2 portion of the game is finished.
In all seriousness, I'm glad the project isn't outright cancelled and any small step you make is a step in the right direction. I really like the changes you made - some qol improvements they are! Oh, and that Metal Sonic thing with the eye palette is super lovely too^^
I'm facing a problem... When I played the last release, I couldn't find the robotizer in OOZ act 2, is it so well hidden or is it just not there? Anyway, I'm glad to see that your project is still developing, after so many years, I wish you good luck and all the best.
Iirc, it's actually sneakily hidden underwater! I'm considering adding an 'assist mode' option to make it easier to find these things for people who get stuck in the future.
This is still being worked on? Darn! Quick thing, but the S3 Styled super sonic lacks his colored eyes. Maybe you could just set them to black to fix it?

Bunu sen mi yapmıştın?! Oynamadım ama oynayanları izlerken etkilendim. Çok yeteneklisiniz.
You should work on new backgrounds in other time zones
@@notaadamritm Yes! Thank You!
When will there be a new update 😢 I love this rom hack
The eyes should change depending of the shield just an idea
Nice to see this is still alive. It's one of those things people can check on from time to time.

@@accomplishedshipyard Yeah, they did a good job on that part of the music.
Wow, 7 years already!? Feels like it's been 2 since this project first got off the ground! Nice work! Still following this after all that time...

This hack is the whole reason I started doing romhacking, amazing work!
Aw, glad to hear it :3

I was like 6 when I got into romhacking and emulation thanks to my dad and this hack I have watched it grow into this masterpiece
I'm so super glad you're still making tweaks and progress to this fun project!!
Every little of it is appreciated! Good job!

Hey, woah! Ain't this a new-year's surprise! I honestly thought this project was long abandoned! It's such a delight to be proven wrong!

I will wait all the time you need to make the best rom hack of all history
Glad to see this is still being worked on! Good luck!
It's pretty cool to see your progress on this hack.
glad to see this project is still going, been following up since 2019 and excited for the final release
Man its been a while since Ive heard of this project... Glad to see its still going! Hoping it can be done one day!
(Also RUclips zone was so satisfying to me lol)
very, very,very nice job with metals eyes

Please ignore the missing pupils on S3K Super Sonic.
That does look strange on close inspection! The artwork is fine, but for some reason the Super Sonic palette overrides the black color used for the eyes! Will fix x3
I remember seeing this game in 2018 and im glad its still alive
Wow, so this is how sonic 2 CD remix looks like now..? This is marvelous, I cannot wait to play this when the final release comes! [ But remember, make the game in your prefered pace, don't rush the game. ]
how'd i find this JUST now because this looks great tbh!!
Holy human sh!t we're back to time traveling through south island
Wow. This rom hack looks amazing man!
babe wake up new sonic 2 cd development update just dropped
Glad to see you're working on this again~
i think, in the past variant of emerald hill zone, the background should show the water, like in lauch base or hydrocity.

I know this ROM hack since 2018 until 2020
Let go
its been so long! 💜
A Sonic 2 CD Remix in the glorious year of 2025 I'm actually astonished
this is stil alive oh my god
Wow, this is really cool!
this feels like a video from the 2010s
Lookin good!
7 YEARS???
if buizel was in sonic 2 cd?!?
Looks fun to play!
Babe wake up Pacca returned!!!

oh shoot lovely to see
Wow this is pretty good
Is there anyway I can help the development of this mod?(just asking)
Oh wow how long has it been like 7 or 6 years now
Lets goooooooooooo. I was thinking this rom hack was done for good, turns out i was wrong 😂😂
could you add time limit on and off in the settings pls
With the new time travel setting, you can time travel to reset the timer to 5 minutes! I'll consider adding that to the options, regardless :3
YIPPEE :3
5:52
Hey! Das me! I did that!
I guess I can say I "contributed" to S2CDR now :3
In all seriousness, I'm glad the project isn't outright cancelled and any small step you make is a step in the right direction. I really like the changes you made - some qol improvements they are!
Oh, and that Metal Sonic thing with the eye palette is super lovely too^^
Will you release a new rom version with these revisions & Bug Fixes?
At some point! Thinking of making another limited demo, maybe sometime later this year.
You gotta fix S3 Super Sonic Eyes
I'm facing a problem...
When I played the last release, I couldn't find the robotizer in OOZ act 2, is it so well hidden or is it just not there?
Anyway, I'm glad to see that your project is still developing, after so many years, I wish you good luck and all the best.

Omg is that a Bingle youtuber?!
Just a bui x3
This is still being worked on? Darn!
Quick thing, but the S3 Styled super sonic lacks his colored eyes. Maybe you could just set them to black to fix it?
Yup! Some one else mentioned it, it's already fixed internally!
@Pacca64 nice!
Link plis
I remember thissss
Huh, neat!
why is metal's palette so weird
I had the mania atyle option on, enabling Sonic Manias' sonic colors! You can also switch to S1/CD styled and S2 styles colors that way too!
i like youtube zone
peak sonic rom hacking
thats cool
I can’t remember the last time I heard about this, this is still in development?
Development has slowed a lot, but it was never truely canceled!
