[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]

Hi,

So I made some Sonic 2 Surge and Kit sprites a while back when their
respective IDW comic debuted, how ever, I never used them in mods until now.

So far, I only have the bored, walk, run, spring diagonal animations complete but obviously more needs done.

Also, since we don't have any scripts yet to edit the character palettes in Sonic 2 Origins, I just did a simple RAM edit to the .exe via cheat engine to change Surge's blues to greens.

Let me know what you think below!

✪ Modern Sonic in Sonic Origins ✪

Hortinus 2022-07-04 | [PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]
Hi,

My PC died few months ago nd I just recently bought a new PC
for modding and gaming related stuff.

So I had some time to throw Modern Sonic into Sonic Origins - Sonic 3k!
There are some issues like the whites (rushed porting the sprites in from AIR) and some of the rotation sprites on the shuttle
loops are corrupted in-game and don't display properly.

Also, If anyone knows how to change the character palettes for Sonic 2 Origins, let me know below.

Later,
Hortinus

[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]

Hi,

So here is another entry in the 2021 Sonic Hacking Contest: Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Pink Edition! This ROM hack of Sonic 2 features 3 playable characters in Amy Rose, Cream the Rabbit, and Big the Cat. Each character has their own special move set similar to their Heroes/Advance incarnations. Moreover, who ever did the sprites for this ROM hack did an amazing job making these Modern characters look at home in Sonic 2. I was most impressed with the special stage sprites as well.

✪ Shadow in Sonic 3 AIR Showcase ✪

Hortinus 2021-03-04 | #sonic3airmods #shadowinsonic3air
[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]

Hi,

For those of you who follow me on twitter @hortinus, you should know that I had started work on a Sonic 3 A.I.R. Shadow mod a while back with his own move set similar to the Shadow SRB2 mod. This is just a showcase of Shadow in Sonic 3 AIR and not for download so their will be no download link to this mod in the description.

So as of now Shadow has 3 moves he can perform as shown in the video:

✪ *Chaos Snap* - Press the A button after jumping to warp upwards while pressing any direction on the D-Pad will warp you in that direction. Can be used up to 2 times consecutively.

✪ *Homing Attack* - Press the A button while near an enemy. Chaos Snap can be used after homing onto an object. Since there is already a HA mod out their, I may not even include this in this mod.

✪ *Roundhouse * - Press the B button after a jump or while on the ground to
unleash a devastating blow to destroy monitors, hurt enemies, or break large rocks a al Knuckles.

This move list is not yet finalized so feel free to give me feedback in the comments below on what tweaks I can make to make this better or suggest any other moves I can implement for Shadow's moveset.

Just like the troopsushi Sonic Mania Classic Amy mod that it's based on,
this A.I.R. version comes with her unique abilities like *HAMMER ATTACK*, *HAMMER JUMP*, and *PROPELLER HAMMER*. Moreover, all of said abilites are buffed when Amy transforms into Super Amy. Overall, this mod is quite the fun experience and takes a bit of skill to user all of the aforementioned abilities.

Now Finally here is my interpretation of Modern Knuckles in the Sonic Mania Style! Let me know what you think below!

Hi.

Third times the charm. This project entered for the SAGE 2020 showcase is called 'Sonic Freedom' by our boi tripplejaz. Kinda reminds me of Cuphead since it feels like
you are playing a cartoon or the Sonic CD intro! This game is only a demo so more is sure to come.

✪ Sonic Galactic | All Character Playthrough | SAGE 2020 ✪

Hortinus 2020-09-09 | #SonicGalactic #SAGE2020
[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]

Hi.

I wasn't planning on uploading any videos anytime soon because of school and being sick (hopefully not c19) but I just recently encountered
a SAGE 2020 demo by the name of Sonic Galactic which was just too amazing to be ignored. This fan continuation of the classic 2D Sonic
the Hedgehog series is taking more of a "Saturn" approach with its art style also featuring new zones, sprites, characters and more! A new energetic
character by the name of 'Tunnel the Mole" enters the fray with his unique multi-directional charge atttack after burrowing into the ground.

Let me know what you guys think below!

✪ Silver with Sonic 06 like Moveset ✪

Hortinus 2020-06-06 | #SilveInSonicMania #hortinus
[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION]

This is another mod I've been waiting to see have the moveset implemented for Mania for a while.
Here is Silver the Hedgehog (sprites by Vegabond) and moveset by CodenameGamma!
Silver can hover above ground for a brief period of time and detain enemies via telekinesis as long
as he has energy in his telekinesis meter.

Also be very careful using Silver's powers on the caterkiller jr. badniks in MSZ2 or interesting things will occur.

Let me know what you guys think below!
