Now, I would get mad at all the sonic recolour avatars, but good job behind this project makes it almost forgiveable.

Almost.

Oh waaaah. I'm not particularly fond of fan characters either, but you don't need to be a dick about it. The fact of the matter is that these people obviously have skill with pixel art, and the fact that they have somewhat questionable fan characters does not change that in any way. There's no need for that condescending bullshit.

Hey now, I did say that I liked their work. That has nothing to do with their fan characters or anything.

But I still hate the fact that "sonic recolour #1253" still exists, and nothing will change my hate for that.

Atleast I'm voicing my opinion, even if it's hating people that may well not deserve the hate.

I have a feeling that this issue may be a topic changer, so let's not go any futher, okay?

To be quite honest...I don't know how to do that. This is literally just a .exe you open and play. There are no options other than "minimize" and "close". Don't you need like a capture card or whatever to take videos of what you're doing on your PC?

No you just need some program like Fraps, or Camtasia Studio or some recorder program to record your own screen ^^

Just to add to your post, VirutalDub has a build-in screen capture mode, and it's free, unlike the other programs you listed.

It may be a little bit harder to get it to work, but atleast you can do it with a clean conscious.

Sonic Warrior TJ · Feb 17, 2009

I see.

I'll get around to it then, unless somebody who has already downloaded the "demo" and has one of those programs has time to do it.

FinalBeyond · Feb 18, 2009

This looks very interesting, and I'll have to give the demo a download. I'm also very glad that the Eggmobile will be getting some use.

Phos · Feb 18, 2009

I have FRAPS, but the download doesn't work for me.

Those sprites... look like what Sonic would look like in Megaman X6. when I was just glancing over it a while back, I thought what I'm assuming is the boost effect came straight out of it.

Sonic Warrior TJ · Feb 18, 2009

I love them. Personally, I feel they're a near perfect mix of Sonic 3's and Sonic Advance's sprites.

Sonic Warrior TJ · Feb 18, 2009

Oh, by the way.

Looks quite good. Egg-Robo 2 Looks quite intresting in concept and design, though you'd better not SEGA on us and make Robotnik lose control of him.

Oh-hohohoho no, we won't. Don't worry.

EDIT: Oh wow, I didn't realize I was double posting. But yeah, you'll be in for a surprise.

New revision.

Sonic's Light Speed Dash (hit X) has been implemented, as well as the various shield powers (make sure to try out Metal's!)

Enjoy.

Phos · Feb 19, 2009

Link doesn't work for me. I can get to the media fire page, but after I click download, I get a 404.

Sonic Warrior TJ · Feb 19, 2009

Try the link in the first post then, I updated it.

As for the latest build, I like it. I'm playing these when he releases them, along with the rest of you, and this is great. I'd love an actual "level" to run around in, and to be able to play with my Gravis, but yeah, we'll get to that when it comes. The shield powers work well IMO, and I don't see any problems with the light dash.

In case anyone hasn't tried it yet, the gold shield gives Sonic the Homing Attack (like in Sonic 3D), and the others work as they did in S3&K. As for Metal, his projectile changes for each. Lightning - He fires four diagonal shots; Fire - He fires a spread of three shots; Water - He unleashes a water pulse; Gold - He fires to star shaped shots that home in on enemies. Unfortunately there's not any enemies yet to test it on. You can control the trajectory of some of these by using the arrow keys.

Yeah, I'm getting a 404 error after clicking the download link too.

Seems I get this 404 occasionally too. But then I reloaded and it worked again.

If you get a 404, just try again a bit later.

'Ey... y'know... stuff.

MDave · Feb 21, 2009

Wow this is good stuff, lots of potential here. I like the demo too, great work there

I'm interested in what platforms this engine could be released on, handheld systems in particular :P

Could be a nice killer app for the upcoming Pandora.

"FPS 60"
My computer only gets 14 at best.

FraGag · Feb 21, 2009

You guys realize we're in 2009 now, right? Anyway, keep working on it.

DM Ashura · Feb 21, 2009

Oops. Will get that fixed soon. ;P

AeroGP · Feb 21, 2009

Get what fixed? ... It's a debug message, and a funny one at that.

If you mean how fast the player's able to move, I guess I'll put in a speed limiter eventually.
