I lost it all Is it worth sticking sonic SV 1 in the pack? it's fully complete, had some bug fixes when ported to MMF, needs no installer to run, still as bad as ever but hey it was really popular when it first came out for a while.

I had a very basic 1 stage "test" but shortly after that I had problems and lost all progress, I still kick myself for not backing that stuff up but oh well, maybe again in the future lol. Sorry for the bump, the last 2 years has flown past so quickly I still remember sitting in my room at uni working on that sonic sv remake instead doing my actual uni project C_C

I'm soon to start working on an iPhone app project but this fangame is still being made on the side, I think by sage a complete game may not exsist but hey it happens to all of us. I am finding it hard to get my head around everything I want to do in the worlds engine, a lot of the physics and events I will never use in my own game, so I decided to build my own much more simple but still sonic styled mmf engine. slopes and loops will still be there but the game in no way is trying to emulate a megadrive 16 bit game like most games. I want to keep things unique.

I like the dither, makes sonic look different then using a default sonic 2 title screen image

No more SV engine? I thought it was quite cool that people still use it to this day.

A lot of shit has been going on and my iPhone development plans have changed slightly, I still want to do it but later in the year. The engine I want to use for the iPhone can be used on the pc too so the best way for me to learn it is on a pc first. --- You know what? so many times I have started an idea but after a few weeks given up or delayed it to the end of time... i'm going to finish this game one way or another and right now i'll continue the MMF version even if it is just an edited sonic worlds without fancy shields and other pointless gimmicks. Looking back at my work I want to remake the level tiles and revise my actions, the Sonic sprite will stay as it is but I will make sure the level tiles fit better and are easier for me to work with so I can make levels more fun without stressing myself out and delaying the game again. So, officially, it's back on.

I'm tempted to make a base sprite set (running jumping rolling) and some ghz 3d tiles to go with it so the sprites don't mash so horrible among genesis tiles. I wonder how that will look. I removed the pink from the first animation.

Max2009, used a falloff filter with some basic colours. No grey for his boots because I was lazy, same for no yellow in his ears. My 2nd set reminds me a lot of 3D blast now that I see them again.

Hey whatever get's the game complete

There has been a trick since MMF1 to do real time ripples but it takes a lot of cpu, and no extensions required. I used it for head haze in Nakiti Generations (if anyone remembers that) Make an object like a dust cloud but make it 100% transparent, apply the built in MMF AA for active objects and all edges to that smoke sprite will distort. Just don't expect a 320x240 fullscreen sprite to not slow your game down.

I been playing around with a very basic rigged up sonic model and gave it a go trying to produce frames for a 2D sprite, these are a very slap-bang rush job just to see how they turned out. Sonic is only using base colours with a toon like filter, i'm going to try to see how much I can improve his pixelated look when I can. If I can get a good looking sprite without having to touch up the renders i'll pump out a full sprite sheet for sfghq. *edit* better sprite:

The entire thing is MONTHS away, and you are already on about making a lite version

I filled it in, you will probably tell which one is mine.

It's a little more then a "sonic clone", that would just run me into trouble with SEGA. It does look at sonic for inspiration though mainly the rolling around part. For people who do not have touch/iphones I guess you will just have to watch any video's, they are worth buying though as they are great little hand heald's and becoming cheaper every other month.
