Greetings! I would like to leave a short message here: And also Wave Ocean update. I hope you like it:
I'm glad you guys are still working on this, looks as excellent as ever I would help if I wasn't a talentless waste of organic matter :specialed:
I remember seeing this on Youtube ages ago. I've always been looking forward to what you come up with. You're doing awesome work! Keep it up!
Very nice to hear this is still going! I never actually got to play the original, having never had an Xbox, and have always felt I was missing out on a core piece of Sonic's history.
Oh wow awesome, a new demo! Looking forward to giving it a spin. Cool that the devs showed up for SAGE. Anyone have a working link to the latest build of the Kingdom Valley demo by any chance?
Oh, sweet! I'm really glad you guys are still working on this, it's great that we're getting a good, faithful recreation of this game.
I just need to ask this. Is the team going to fix the story, or leave it as it is and just fix the mechanics?
They don't even seem to really be fixing the mechanics for the most part. A lot of work has gone into making it look and play like Sonic 06...for some reason. Bad controls and all.
Interesting bump timing, as wouldn't you know it they just released some new footage of the game in progress: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_gaNf56pks We get to see a bit of Wave Ocean and get to see Tails play for the first time. Good call on them to use the meter to indicate Tails' flight energy IMO. But yea other than that it looks like a less buggy Sonic 06... which I guess is their endgame so job well done :v:
I just realized something horrible. This is the first time a 3D Sonic game has had it's physics and control recreated in an outside engine for a fan project with near-perfect accuracy. And it's Sonic 06.
They are just porting 2006, with fixes to the game play. theirs no 'fixing' the story at all otherwise it wouldn't be a 1:1 2006 port.
Yep, still don't really agree with that Wave Ocean. If it was me, I'd find a better way to handle Sonic's surfing controls. He needs a better animation and better controls. I'd straight up ditch the "Jump!" part with the planks the whale smashes. And I'd change Tails' dummy ring bombs so that they aren't rings anymore. Have him throw an item box or something that explodes in to tiny spiked balls. Rings create too much confusion for the player.
