YeEESSSsss! just about sums up my feelings on the subject.  Downloading it right this second. 

[superflat]

Thanks for the comments guys. Will get onto the bug fixes when I have a minute tomorrow. Hope you like the ending... 

[increpare]

the yes/no thing is to do with ambiguous font colouring I think...that's always the problem with two-item menus...

I played it a little.  It looks good.  I sort of found all the walking about a little dull after a bit...but...maybe those who've played SH already would be oaky with it, or maybe if I wasn't in such a bad mod today I would.  Interface and general construction is really impressive dude!  Will say more when I've played more.

SH2 is without a doubt the best in the series; and is a plodding thick game.  The pacing adds to the tension in the original, and the same effect is attained here.  I'm loving every second of what's been accomplished.  Glorious.  The atmosphere is just right; from the patients to the fog, even the sfx.  Good job. 

Shows what can be done within such a small constraint!

[fullspectrum]

Wow I just finished it man. Extremely emotional ending for me. I get the feeling this aint done with yet..

[seregrail7]

Can't get this to download, keeps ending prematurely. 

[Lurk]

Your fight system is better than the original!
Love the fog and scanlines, not had time to get very far into the game, but I hope you got a pyramid head coming from the side just like in the friday the 13th nes cart...great job!

My only complain is a lack of 32 letters password function, instead of a user-friendly save.

[Hayden Scott-Baron]

Congratulations mate! ^__^ Very well done indeed. I'm looking forward to giving this a shot *downloading now*.

[deadeye]

I knew it was going to be good, but that was better than I expected.  Congrats!

Are you going to continue with this?  Doing a full remake would be a rather big projects, but that would be pretty friggin sweet.

I'll put an arrow in there something...

Congratulations mate! ^__^ Very well done indeed. I'm looking forward to giving this a shot *downloading now*.

Hope you liked it sir!

Thanks so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

It might end up getting finished one day lil' bro...  Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for understanding what I was trying to achieve.  If the game is difficult and frustratingly slow, it's all deliberate.  I analysed the first fifteen minute's footage of the game for over ten hours, looking at every pause and transition.  To make the intro walk any shorter would have been to destroy the original material.  I definitely wasn't trying to make an arcade game.  You don't have to kill a single demon if you don't want to.  That was important to me too.

Oh and the sound - that was the most fun part!  Akira Yamaoka is one of my heroes, and with me having been a drum'n'bass producer for ten years that kind of spooky weird sound design is a big part of it!

[valentingalea]

This is amazing! Excelent job!

But I think it also shows the power of the original SH2, a 'port' in such a limited medium still holds that special charm and atmosphere!

[fullspectrum]

Yo - having slept on it, I've been pondering that you know you're playing a good demake when your thinking 'I wonder how this is going to play out when to that bit with the..' in this case I was really looking forward to getting my hands on an 8 bit gun and taking out some demons with a glorious low-grade shooting sound. Even if it's something we just implement over a weekend just for fun, we should blatantly do it man.

I've had the privilage of playing pretty much everything you've ever made, and I'm going to cautiously say that is your finest work. It really got under my skin. You know I've been to scared to play the original SH2 on my own , but I think I might finally be ready thanks to this project inspiring me. I'd really love to go through the first 20 mins or so with you, so you can point out all your nuances. Any way, well done man, I'm gonna come see you soon..

[superflat]

Yes definitely - I want to at least finish the apartments and the PH encounter.  It will be coming in a non-compo version in a month or so...

[wormfood]

Really good stuff mate. Good to see a fellow max user too. whats your name on the blitz forums? im Pete Carter, the one who asks the bloody stupid question 

[Lorc]

Wow - I stop paying attention for a couple of days and you go and roll this out.  Congratulations - very nice.

Even if it won't be part of the competition, I hope you do finish the apartment (no pressure ).  Are there any other sprites you're still missing for that section?

[superflat]

Yes please Lorc!  I need you to finish the Apartment sprites... 

Have you completed the game yet?  Hope you like your credit!

I'll email you later with what I need.

Thanks man.

[redshift]

Looking forward to playing through to the ending.. also loved the last demo!  

The music is sounding so perfect, it almost improves on the original, that's no mean feat.

Also the gameplay is well balanced now, combat works really well, it's getting real satisfying flattening those bad guys, you know this..

Hope you win the contest!!  Speak soon man

 

[Lorc]

Yes please Lorc!  I need you to finish the Apartment sprites... 

Have you completed the game yet?  Hope you like your credit

I did complete it, thank you.  I'm proud to have been able to contribute to this (though I'm fighting the urge to fiddle with the patient demon some more so his walk animation flows better.  In my defense he was my first animated sprite ever).

Triangle head's attacks are proving to be a bit of an arse to get right - but I've not abandoned you just yet.  In the meantime I'm pixelling a few of the apartment's key items as a palate cleanser.

[fullspectrum]

I'm so glad I'm still seeing posts that indicate work is still being done on this! Lorc - thanks for helping my brother out with his project, your sprites are fantastic.

[Oracle]

Wow, this is fantastic! you translated perfectly the original feel of the game to yours; The game scrolling does a wonderful job at mimicking the camera angles; giving that "sense of despair" of not knowing whats ahead.

Music was fantastic also...my only gripe (if any) is the hard time i had (dunno if it was only my pc) exiting the game.

Top notch job!
