Sonic Generations - Unleashed Project v1.0 Available

Sorry for the tangential necro. It's been slightly over a year since Unleashed Project released. The launch trailer remix has undergone several mutations since it first went public in March last year. First, it was extended back to a "rockestral+vocal" full-length affair. More recently I've convinced the VGO (the outfit I work with) to play it at PAX East this year. Ensemble this time consists of rock band (3 guitars!), choir, and string section.

It's going to be streamed on Twitch, I believe, and VGO's setlist starts ~10pm on Saturday Eastern time, and I'd expect Endless Possibility to show up sometime between 30 and 45min after the set starts, so about ~10:45pm Saturday, or ~47 hours from this post.

Will update re: Twitch link etc for anyone interested in tuning in live.

 

I have a Saturday pass to PAX East. Are you going to be there yourself, or just the outfit you associate with?

EDIT: You're in the Facebook picture. Welp, I look forward to it!

 

I'll be at the merch booth on and off the entire three days, so drop by and ask if I'm there I guess lol.


edit: BONUS: Livan, international classical pianist award winning... pianist, is doing a Sonic 2 medley as part of the set.

But I didn't say that and you didn't hear it from me so nothing from the set list leaked ok.

 

http://www.twitch.tv/pax is the stream, should be ~10:30 PAX time

 

I'm in line to play some Rock Band, but I'll be there.

 

That PAX performance was absolutely awesome. That Sonic 2 Medley was great and the Unleashed bit blew me away. That was truly spectacular. Great job with the suggestion, Falk!

 

Sorry for the bump, but is it just me or all the links for the Unleashed Project download down? Lost mods during a system crash. :/

 

Apparently MEGA took some of the mirrors down. The torrent should still work, and I was supposed to mirror the other links for Dario. I'll do it soon.

 

Feel kinda bad about bumping this thread, but I have some important things to say.



First of all, for any of you who haven't been in the Gens hacking thread or otherwise don't know: Surprise! The project has been revived with yours truly operating as the main developer for new content (bonus and DLC acts, etc), revising old content, and fixing other various things. There's been little attention going the way of my progress vids and updates and such, which is a shame, but I'm trying really hard not to let it deter me. That said, any way you guys can spread the word would help immensely!

Just to cover some basic points:

• All additional Day stages are being ported. Yes, all of them. Yes, even that one.
• They'll have the same general design philosophy and extra touches as the original stages.
• I've been working at this for more than a year now and intend to keep a continent-a-month schedule for updates. Release is intended for late this year.
• There's a new solo channel you can subscribe to for stage updates as they come out. I've made a Twitter as well for byte-sized updates.
• No, still not doing Eggmanland. S Ranks aren't being scaled back (much) either. Sorry!

I'm also documenting some bug reports from this thread to hopefully get them fixed somewhere in the process. Most of my energy is directed at stage development right now, but I intend to fix additional things. That said, if there are any important bugs I may have missed, now's your chance to point them out!

Let's get to the point though. You want some juicy screenshots, right? Well, okay, but only because you... uh... read this nicely.

Spoiler

eat me, global warming

Before I go, I have an important question: Would you guys prefer to see future thread updates in the Gens modding thread or here? Or maybe both? I dunno. Input appreciated!

 

Don't take lack of response for lack of attention. I haven't really responded to any of your updates, but I've been following this pretty intently, and I'm excited to see where it heads.

 

Yes this exactly, this looks fantastic and I eagerly await it, just sometimes I'm lazy and don't post.

Keep up the good work sir

 

wasn't 1 of the original goals to make classic sonic work with the warehog levels?

 

Is "that one" Eggmand land?

 

That'd be a no, Azu.

 

So what's the "one" then?

 

No eggman land no deal man. I need to see that in action perfectly. If only I had time.

 

Why can't Eggmanland not be done? I wouldn't mind a re-imagining of the level, who cares if its not 100% 1:1 perfect recreation, I'll take a partial recreate with some new added stuff mixed in hell it'd be a fun way to promote the DLC too "1 all new re-imagined stage!".

People would understand and if they didn't well, sod off to them. :v:/>

 

Me and my friend thought about doing a scrap brain/ eggman land mash up kinda level. But thats for the Generations Topic Thread though.

Eggman Land requires more work, and some objects just aren't perfectly recreatable. As seen with this here.

After this section I could somewhat do the Roller Coaster section. But not enough to how it would feel like in Unleashed. Its more so it wouldn't feel the same mechanically compared to the other Unleashed levels.

 

Considering how interested I am in seeing Eggmanland adapted, I'd love to help if I had the time, patience, and knowhow. First I'd need to wrap my head around the tools, though.

 

Well the other problem is making it work would require either completely skipping large portions of the stage (Werehog) or reforming the geometry, neither of which are entirely viable. The other levels port well because they only need a minor adjustment here or there, but this would literally be cutting half the level out in one way or another.

Also, still no answer on whether I should post updates here or the Gens modding thread.
