It looks great. Ok now that we know that works, I'd like to see the engine with this. And so it looks like everyone agrees on Sonic the Hedgehog Freedom, right? Ok, well I guess that's the name; until further objections that is. And who agrees about Ath's model? I mean I love Jez's but this one looks more streamlined and like the OVA Sonic. And since Jez takes no offense in this action and also helped with Ath's model anyways, I say we go for that one. Who's with me? ...hmm, Sonic the Hedgehog Freedom. I like the sound of that. It'll take some getting used to, but hey, so did titles like Sonic Unleashed.
Well it still has that ball light on it. I'm guessing thats from the ambient lighting? Also do you know how to add bump mapping to the engine to support it? Its dot3 or something I can't remember that well. But the dark one does look odd without the ambient light. I don't know how I'd solve that problem. As for the tails model I'm sure Athbucket can make one himself.
The ambientlight is on, but no other lights are. That's why it looks dark. Light = Gloss (at least in blitz3d). I don't know how to solve that, though. And I don't know how to make the engine support bump-maps.
Sonic freedom...wow...talk about coincidence. I have a song called "Live in freedom" that I've been working on for a while. it's still in progress of course but maybe the Music division of the project can use my song as the theme or something...I mean it sounds like a sonic type song, but it's not finished...and this could go with my idea for a collaboration with the other musicians here... REMEMBER: this song isn't finished...I made it before I joined the team...so can we use this..but heavily edited by us? http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/304960
I'm definitely thinking that with some tweaking...this could be the official theme for this project! It sounds so uplifting...so upbeat! I also vote that this be used in the 1st trailer we use to advertise this! (If we do that! lol)
yea! I would like for everyone to add to this song so we can all share the glory of making an awesome theme song for sonic...and that's what sonic should be...Uplifting and full of life...so yea...I hope this could become the official theme for Sonic Freedom....
It would not work very well for the major body parts. Our models have conflicting styles, and the parts that I have already sent to him are the only ones that would really fit. The best option would be to decide on an exact style for a future model, and then split up the work. So, one person would model the head, another the body, and so on.
Alright, I hate to be a party-pooper, but I feel I have to lodge a complaint. I've been working on a rather ambitious Sonic project of my own now, called Sonic Freedom. I've called it Sonic Freedom since 2006, when Sega released Sonic Genesis for the GBA and I had to stop using that title. I've had "Sonic Freedom" in my "current project" field next to my avatar for a while now, too. Just my luck, I changed it only yesterday because I'm breaking for awhile to finish up SX8B Playable. (An admin might be able to prove this with a back-up, if not I have PM's about Sonic Freedom) I felt a shock like a blow to the gut when I noticed Freerunner's name change. I know the word Freedom is associated with Sonic because of the OVA and the SatAM Freedom Fighters, and it didn't take a whole lot of work for me to choose it, but I've become very attached to it, as it comprehensively sums up the tone of my game perfectly. I know that we're equally entitled to the name, and that I've not been very public with my project as of yet, but I humbly request that you consider a name other than Sonic Freedom. It would be a pretty big blow to me to have to change the title. Project: Freerunner is a great project, and I wish you guys all the best with it!
For the past four years or so, I've been working on and off (mostly off) on an original Sonic game design. I called it Sonic the Hedgehog 4. Life sucks.
It's a bit different when an official product comes around and bumps your name out of your possession and when it's a matter of common curtosey between community members.
Sorry, I didn't mean to make a problem, and I will change the name. I was starting to lose the feeling of the title anyways. So.. back to the drawing board, eh? PFR I guess we'll stick with for now; although we could go with more names, guys. So what about that Sonic Edge, guys? :v: (seriously, I like that name) Oh yeah, and thanks for the compliments on the game. Project: Freerunner is a great project, and I wish you guys all the best with it!
You know if where ever going to consider music. My friends I know are in a band pretty good one. I could ask them to make a track for a theme song since they can sing. Depending what this game is based on. And how you guys want it. Veitra your music there is pretty amazing its got a amazing beat and flow. Also on fangame names. Sticking with Project Freerunner is a good choice. I mean we can save the real name for a while. I mean they did that with sonic 4. And same with other games. I say people should get out a thesaurus and start looking up different names when that time comes lol.
Thank you. I greatly appreciate it. Sonic Edge has a really nice ring to it, but I'm a hopeless U2 fan, so of course the word "Edge" has a positive sound to me. :v: Sonic Freerunner sounds okay, too, and would be the least confusing to anybody who's been following the game since the beginning.
Sorry I took so long to rename the title of the topic ^^; And I like the suggestions. Btw Fragag, the game isn't pure classic styled like you may think. It blends modern and classic Sonic elements, but the gameplay and level design are indeed designed like the classics.
