3D Sonic fangame engine test

It doesn't seem to handle too well. I'd think an engine that handled like Sonic Adventure would be perfect, though.

Also, that model kinda blows. What is this, chibi Sonic?

EDIT: To add to that, this isn't even working right. I start the program up and my camera is always panned underneath, and trying to rearrange the camera forces it back underneath me. What the fuck?

EDIT2: Got it working... seems there's incompatibility with joypads. This is really hard to control without one, though.

 

Looks like a cool variant on X-Treme and SRB2. But I have an Intel card, so things may not go well.

 

I agree

 

This layout remains surprizingly true to the classic 2D games. Very exciting and interesting.
Of course it needs further tweaking in all fields but this could very well turn out to be the 2D Sonic platforming going 3D.

After Gen's project being scrapped, we again have something to look forward to.
I hope this project will get finished and that it will fulfill the promise it shows.

 

Oh yeah, I just fav'd this video. Beautiful graphics, and awesome engine, probably the best I've ever seen in action thus far. Let's hope this one actually goes somewhere.

 

The download keeps cutting out on me, can someone minor this on something like rapidshare?

 

Am I the only one who finds the weird bugs with this engine? Level 2, the half-sphere, if you go all the way up, at the end Sonic stops suddenly. He shouldn't do so, but keep the impulse and be thrown away. Thank god I'm talking to Damizean about all those issues >_>

 

Looks good, a few bugs here and there when sonic stops but hopefully bugs will be fixed when they complete it.

 

I LOVE how his nose flaps around in the wind while he's running, it's so funny.

This Sonic model is fantastic. I hope the game turns out to be great.

 

I can see how it'd be really fun if I could get the hang of the keys

 

This looks great; make Sonic Robo Blast 2 look like a crappy game.

Oh wait... it always kinda... was. Come on, mismatched walking/standing sprites? ...COME ON, SPRITES?

 

...Is that it? I mean, it was built off the Doom Legacy, and several Doom counterparts used sprites anyways. The fact the SRB2 has extremely diverse addon capabilites, levels that are very nonlinear, and many netplay gametypes makes the graphics a really sorry excuse not to like the game.

 

JESUS CHRIST WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY MADE OVER HALF THE SONIC GAMES

 

The 3D Sonic games don't use sprites.

 

Graphics are great, but physics fail in this fangame. It's got bad handling.

 

Yeah this is all very well, but I think they may get too caught up in the spin of what they've done so far when really they should just keep working solidly on it.

 

What do you expect? It was started even before Sonic Adventure :P Get an idea about how computers were back then. And anyways, SRB2 is really way easy to mod. I mean, there were lots of tries to make 3D Sonic fangames, there should be some reason for SRB2 to be played so much, and take into account this is the 10th aniversary. And it has a huge community behind it, and all the time new mods are made. Just think on it... Its main problem is the lag of the netgames, you need a very fast connection, otherwise...

Anyways, about the engine bugs, it seems it all has to do with level design, not the engine itself. In fact, the half sphere in the second stage has wrong normals, so the engine is really buggy in it due to reading wrong data. The engine is OK, what's wrong is the level data :P Well, the engine isn't very OK too, it's made in Blitz3D. Trust me, that lazyness from Damizean for not making his own graphics engine will cost later to him, either by making the game extremely slow or by limiting him later when adding extra capabilities (in fact, press F1 with something blocking you in the way from where you are to the start point and you'll see a really weird limitation from Blitz3D), not to mention it'll never get out from Windows.
