After playing multiple sessions of Kratus Streets of Rage X and the other SOR remake... Kratus SORX is my honest opinion the more superior version of the classic trilogy in terms of options and accessibility.

SORR is solid too and it has tons of replay value and options but SORX has just much better to play and you can play as every enemy mook and boss in the game which is a big PLUS in my book.

Thank you, my friend :)
 
Testing a new "X" design for the title screen. For a long time I wanted a style more cohesive with the original font, now it's done.

High resolution, testing in webm scenes.

Low resolution, testing in the native title screen. I'm still thinking of leaving or not the webm title screen.
I'm also testing a gradient color closer to the Mega Drive style, like the SOR3 logo.

I much prefer the Webm high res, though I admit there's a selfishness. Your game is pretty much the ultimate OpenBOR showpiece at the moment. Any intentional graphical down-ports won't be seen by people outside the community as nostalgic or cohesive design, but simply misinterpreted as engine limitations.

Thanks boss. Yeah, I'm thinking the same as you.

After many years seeing the webm as the title screen, it's hard for me to apply a resolution downgrade like this.
I'm considering maybe making a change only in the classic resolution version, keeping the webm in the default version.

I even made a test with the mega drive gradient style.

Hard to give a final choice.
I prefer your hi res version than the pixelate tweak.

Sure the classic style absolutely looks great as well, but Hi res may give a fresh feeling to your game.
(And I'm a pixel guy...^^)

So, to me, Hi res, or classic are good choices. But not the inbettween.
 
Thanks for all the feedback related to the new logo :)

For now, I will use the gradient "mega drive" style only in the classic resolution version as a test. This is more coherent with the proposal of this version.

The default version will keep the webm hi-res, however I'm planning to remove the "street" background on both versions. I admit that I always felt some kind of "clash" when using it for a pixelated game.

This was actually one of my peeves lol. It blends so much better this way and fits the era the original logo was made in. Haha.

I have to say I agree. But all of the unlocks and goodies in that game, along with all the new stages means I can't put it away for now. The combat is way better in sorX, but sorr was going for something closer to the original as I understand it. Both are so different.

If there was a way to port the content in sorr into sorx.... .....


....naaaaah. that's CRAZY right? 😂

Cop Call - New Chaingun Attack
Click to expand...
I loved the sprites...but the attack doesn't make much sense to me.
If you look at the attack where he calls the police car, you'll see that the policeman shoots upwards, diagonally...and the shots fall diagonally, at the same angle.

But here the helicopter appears shooting straight down...while the shots come from the upper left corner? It looks very strange to me.

I think that, in this case, the shots would have to appear on the ground at the moment the policeman shoots, in a straight line from where he is.

I understand the point, but the helicopter acts only as an illustration in this case, in the same way as the previous grenade attack.
In this attack, it does not mean that he is firing in the exact position as he is shown.
 
@O Ilusionista I flipped the direction of the bullets so that it would at least be more consistent with the position from where the helicopter is coming.
I even thought of moving the camera up, similar to the cop car moving the camera to the right, but I would need to expand the background sprites for every level 😓

Can you not make a universal sky background and by code shift the color into Day/Afternoon/Night according to the specific stages? I don't know much about coding if it's too much to work with. Sorry, but I tried to shift the gattling gun to more diagonal as the bullets trajectory but the results is not good.
I keep saying to myself I'm gonna learn coding when I'm finished making sprite edits but here I am in 2026 still making them. I'm asking your permission to open and used SOR2X as learning purpose and for me to test my edits. Don't worry, I will never release any of my edits and making chaos out of your game. Wait, we already have that.. lol.. Testing my edits in rom hack is not enough anymore and beside I really need that bike stages to test this guy.

This is just a mock up I made
