Yup! You read that right, a Winamp Skin!
You may be asking yourself "What's winamp?!"
Winamp used to be a really popular media player back in the late 90's and early 2000's before AOL sold it off to another company that hasn't done anything with it since then!
Winamp was a pretty open source software allowing for tons of plugins to increase all kinds of new functionalities! It has always been my favorite music player. Even has a great streaming radio ability that was awesome to hear stations all over the world back in the day, that still works!
Anyways! After watching game play of Sonic Mania's Studiopolis Zone, and seeing the Hornet Van. I felt like it needed to dance! This whole project was built around getting that Van to dance! From there, I designed how all the windows and standard features would be reskinned. There is all kinds of animations like the clouds moving, or lights glowing, to the projector playing different animations that react to the music.
All the sprites for this skin have been redrawn by myself! I used the debut, and various game play videos to collect the sprites to use, then redrew them in a much lower resolution. Similar to the original Genesis games. To produce a much crisper look then just using them straight from the videos. The only things that I didn't redraw were some of the animations for the projector that use the developer logos and intro for the game. Christian Whitehead was redrawn because the original design was very seizure inducing. The Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles Head was done in illustrator.
I spent a lot of time and work really hard on this, so let me know what you think!
I streamed this whole project on my Twitch channel, even recorded it and made a timelapse video, check it out!
