Tech Demo Second Release Download

Needed D3D DLL Files

Please note this is pre-Alpha, so all the current art is in WIP status and it wont reflect the final aspect.

... more to come later ...

3 things have been changed to this post-update release:
1. The bug where two chains were stuck to the swinging platform's platform has been fixed.
2. The bridge has been updated to produce a smoother bending process.
3. The 2x stunnel has been updated so that Knuckles can't jump over the spin attack forcer.

Things that haven't been changed to some people's disappointment (sorry):
1. Pixel Shader is still there wasting GPU.
2. Keyboard is still producing debug replay files.

Hell yeah, downloading now.

Aside from the loops, are there any other differences?

Oooooo, that bridge looks nice!

There's a red spring somewhere that wasn't before. And some new music in the folder.

I found myself walking on the ceiling in the climbing stage and there was no way to get back.

Loving the new Emerald Hill art—especially the tree! Glad to see there's been more progress towards getting the actual stage in.

Seems to be broken in WINE:

CODE

fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no instance created for interface {bf798031-483a-4da2-aa99-5d64ed369700} of class {25e609e4-b259-11cf-bfc7-444553540000}, hres is 0x80070057
err:dinput:DirectInput8Create CoCreateInstance failed with hr = -2147024809; Try running wineprefixcreate to fix it.

Very good work on these tech demos. I too encountered walking on the ceiling in the "Super Climb stage". I haven't had problems with the "Multi Bridge stage", but the way the bridge articulated up and down was choppy, specifically if Sonic was walking across it (whether it's fast or slow). So maybe the bridge can be more flexible so it's less noticible (less choppiness).

The gravity auto changes once you reach the ceiling, then changes back once you make your way back on the floor again.



Hahah, Sonic's invincible. I wasn't able to squish him between two of the blocks on the stunnel loop stage.

Awesome work again, LOst ^^

Thanks.

Ha, so I'm not the only one who tried to do that.

I yet didn't test it, but why weren't the system requirements fixed? I thought it has been proven that they were too high >_>

[Baby Ghost]

Is there no easier way to restart the demo besides quiting it completely?

Otherwise, AWESOMENESS.

[Dark Sonic]

While this looks awesome, this tech demo rapes my computer more than the last one did (That one ran perfectly).

D:

[SANiK]

Yeah - major slowdown for me as well in this build.

Like 17 FPS from 47 FPS

[GHFan]

Awesome, but it sucks up every bit of my computer's RAM (and then some... stupid laptop...stupid Vista)
