I can understand the need for more quality hacks, but if the people who make these are just learning and want to show off maybe its kinda harsh to just say those hacks are waste of time.perhaps if they made a amateur hack contest or a co test solely for joke hacks it wouldn’t be so bad.of course that depends on those who run those things even feel like that is worth their time which I doubt
*comedy
A meme contest is the obvious answer unless the joke hack has actual meat to it. Mania should be inspiring the current generation of hackers in showing what their hard work could lead to, and on a similar point it’s disappointing how nobody still hasn’t tired to recreate Sonic 2 Remaster’s Hidden Palace into a Sonic 2 hack this is a far cry from the days of a Hidden Palace being crudely made from pictures of it scanned from magazines
They have made a separate thing. There will be an Expo for that.
It’s about time we get some good quality hacks. I wasn’t please with 2016 hacks. Hardly any worth playing. I’m glad they’re more strict this time.
Ugh, there’s no effort put into these anymore. Why bother?
Hey there, I just want to say that everyone I seen and know from the Hacking Comunity including the people behind can agree that 2016 was a really bad year for SHC, it was really disapointing with many people making random stuff either with no effort or just trying to hard to be funny or just being bad in general and it was honestly quite dipressing. But I just want you to know that everyone I know thay participated in the contest feel sorry after 2016 and want to make up for it by learning from their mistakes and making something better for 2017. Not to mention the brand new sexy looking rules the judges made. I think you should try giving it another chance,because thing are looking really bright for 2017.
Don’t mind me asking, but has Sega said when the next bit of info for Sonic Mania is coming?
I’m very glad for this, didn’t like the over abundance of jokes in the previous one like most, and the new trophies sound really interesting, SHC 2017 should be more exciting than this year’s, and SHC 2018 even more after the release of project 2017.
Love a good meme as much as everyone else, but yeah I think last year went too far. Really dig that SHC is encouraging more 8-bit and handheld hacks. Looking forward to 2017!
