For sure - I will soon.

Here's an editor shot that might reveal some things.

The only issue I have is that Green Hill looks a bit "flat" without the checkerboard ground/rock/whatever indents.

The rest looks remarkable.

When Super Mario Maker dropped back in 2015 (and Mega Man Maker afterward), I was kinda hoping someone would make a Sonic Maker of some sort. And you went and did it, you absolute fucking madman.
Did you work on this before Mario Maker or was this what inspired yo, if you don't mind me asking

Was Mario Maker the inspiration for it, or does it predate it (if you don't mind me asking ?)

[Lapper]

It was actually the old PlaySega Level Creator that inspired me back in 2010, so it definitely pre-dates Mario Maker. This is my 3rd attempt at an approach to a Sonic Maker type thing.

I think the usage of this will be rather different to MM as it has completely different mechanics for both the terrain and the gimmicks.

This just keeps on looking better and better, Lapper. It's been so awesome watching you post progress over the last year.

I found a pic of the PlaySega editor and the similarities to my first attempt are everywhere



For simplicity & general fun, a tiled method like that is extremely limiting. Using polygons allows for immense customisation with little effort.

Just some screenshots of my fangame in a lazy display I whipped up on Paint.NET. There's some things (like the BG) that are WIP, and I really need to work on fixing them, but I think it's at least at a presentable shape to showcase

Credits in this screenshot go to my friend DVD and LordPotatosack on the tileart, and just Potato on the Sonic. (and general palette for the fangame) I've been busy trying to make the level extremely solid.

I might make a gif soon, as I don't think screenshots are as effective as a stroll around with a gif, but my screen recorder isn't the best thing on the earth so if I did, things would get pretty laggy.

I love how cute that Sonic is. Its almost like a Mania version of the 8 Bit Sonic 😉

Looks like an engine test - is that your own engine? Or an edited one? The small sprites are surprisingly nice to look at, wondering how level art would end up looking.

Only thing I see there is perhaps make it so that if you're already on the ground, you cant just walk through a spring? Jumping through them is quite nice though.

Sonic's behaviour is from a plugin on the Scirra forums by a guy called PixelMonkey, (there's also a guy on these forums with the same name, though i don't think he's the same guy.) but the rest is by me.

Thanks for telling me that you like the sprites, as this is coming from a guy who's making a Sonic Maker with Mania-esc sprites.

About the level art.... I tried to make it, but it didn't work, and the Sonic Pocket Adventure tilesets haven't been ripped yet.

and for Sonic going through the spring when on the ground, that was a design choice, as if the spring was solid then sonic will just stand on the spring and not bounce.

Oh and here's another gif.



(wow this is a long and complicated post. )

I recently dealt with that in my own engine, making sure to 'cancel' the normal collision and any things it automatically did to Sonic to allow him to just bounce off or just roll through a monitor for example. But if that's how you want it it's cool! Personally always felt sad that since Sonic Advance 2 till Mania all springs are automatic so that's why it struck me as strange with the Mania style.

What you got so far is looking pretty cool already. I like the approach on the sprites as well, it looks very nice and appealing. What exactly are you planning with this fangame, if I may ask?

Mostly to remake certain Sonic zones in a size similar to Mario (By that i mean that the sprites are Mario size.) both official zones and fan-games zones.

Zones for the fan-game:
BTS: Hilltop Heights (1st Zone)
1: Jungle (2nd Zone)
ATS: Sugar Splash (3rd Zone)
SCQ: Flame Yard (4th Zone)
2: Hill Top (5th Zone)
3: Ice Cap (6th Zone)
4: Oil Desert (7th Zone)
S&K: Lava Reef (8th Zone)
S&K: Launch Base (9th Zone)
CD: Stardust Speedway (10th Zone)
2: Wing Fortress (11th Zone)
Death Egg: 2 Mixed with 3 (12th Zone)



(why do i respond to comments about my stuff so quickly?)
