Sonic vs Darkness - True Nightmare Revived

Powered by Sol Engine V2 on Game Maker 8.0

 

              Introducing a Sonic fan game titled Sonic vs Darkness - True Nightmare Revived created by yours truly. Sonic vs Darkness T.N.R. is a remake of my very first Sonic fan game Sonic vs Darkness, which began as a sprite-animated Sonic series project on YouTube. This fan game features two playable characters Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog, and 7 different stages inspired by the stages from the original fan game. The game will also feature comic-style cut-scenes that appear as you progress through the game. You are also able to purchase power-ups & shields from the Item Shop while in the HUB Area. Like the original version, the gameplay style is inspired by modern Sonic games Sonic Rush and Sonic Unleashed. Including Super Smash Brothers Melee/Brawl (All-Star Mode). Release date of the official demo will likely be around the time of the SAGExpo 2014 Act 2 Event. Stick around to see more updates!

 

- Storyline -

 

Sonic and Shadow must collect all of the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman's creation Project Erubis grabs hold of them to spread eternal darkness around the world. More coming soon...

Looks really good but I strongly recommend you to settle for making one fangame at once. With two (or more) projects in development you are extremely unlikely to get anywhere with any of them.

[SonicFan2010]

Whoa! I seen Salom Adventures. If this is as good as that, then I am sold.

[thevaleev]

One more step to release. I wish you luck, Nekko, and I'm hope you can release the demo in no time.

[Light The Hedgehog]

It's looking really nice! The graphics look amazing and the gameplay looks a lot more polished than any of your previous titles. It seems this is getting work done pretty quick and I'll be excited to see any more progress come SAGE.

[Riseodvi]

At first this looked kind of bland, but for some reason seeing the words "Action Chain" made me interested. No clue why...

[Nefault1st]

@Felik Thanks! Yeah that's understandable lol but don't worry I know the risks 

 

@SonicFan2010 Hopefully it will be much more enjoyable, thanks for the post!

 

@Valeev Much appreciated mate, I do hope I release this in time!

 

@Lightthehedgehog Thank you! For this game I actually focused more on the special effects and overall appearance. Currently I'm designing more gimmicks and improving the physics. I really do hope you enjoy the game 

 

@Riseodvi Aw sorry to see that was all that caught your attention D: but thanks for the post!

This looks pretty cool man. I'm not usually big on more modern inspired fangames but this one looks to be embracing the concept quite well, loving the idea of the action chain as well. It feels like you are really going pretty 'arcade'-ish with the whole system and it looks neat.

Thank you! I'm glad you like the action chain idea, I really enjoyed that gimmick during the days I played Sonic Unleashed on the Wii. It should replicate it perfectly.

[Pulse0]

What are your bosses going to be like? 
Eggman or Character bosses.

Im not implying you, when i saw this on DA is was hoping this would be real - but fangames tend to make the worst character battles. so what are you planing on?

[InfinityAlex]

Just gonna say now; unrestricted Super Sonic gameplay in one of your games; so hyped.

[Nefault1st]

@Pulse0 It's likely going to be Eggman bosses mixed with bosses infected by Project Erubis. Nothing about the style of the boss battle is official yet but so far I imagine there will be Sonic Advance 2 styled boss battles with the infected. I've seen many mistakes so I will try to avoid any as best as I can.

 

@InfinityAlex Shhhh...don't spoil anything c:

I'm looking forward to this one bro. Is the whole game going to be released? Or is the going to be a demo. Either way I'm really excited. I do have 2 questions though. 

1. Why are you crediting yourself in third person lol

2. I noticed the controls menu displays buttons for a xbox controller. Will it change if a ps3 controller is connected?

if its like most games  - nope

Xbox 360 is the default Preferred Pc Controller

I wish it was the full game lol but no just a small demo

To answer your questions, I wrote this at 2 different times so I never really looked back at the first line I wrote lol

 

And Pulse0 is correct, but it's also due to the fact that it only worked for a few people after remapping the controls, so I'm removing the PS3 controller option and sticking with keyboard and 360 to avoid any hassle.

 

(Note: I had Salom Adventure automatically set the controller to 360 or ps3 whenever any external controller is detected, but due to false accusations of me using the 360 interface as the main interface I removed that feature)

Wait, so you mean to say you're stopping development after releasing the SAGE demo?

[Nefault1st]

Oh of course not, though I may pause on it a few times to get the demo of the second project done after this demo is released.

[Nefault1st]

It's been a few months since I've released the Sonic vs Darkness demo at SAGE 2014 Act 2, many updates have been made since then. But what's been updated? There's quite a lot so here's a list of update log videos. 

 

*Update Log #1*

 

*Update Log #2*

 

*Update Log #3*

 

I will continue to post these update videos when possible if anyone is interested in the progress. There will be plenty more of these to come.

Everything's so gorgeous ^^. I love seeing games with so much time and effort; you're really pushing beyond limits   !

I'm a gamer who actually prefers more gimmicks - at least, adding more gimmicks periodically in order to change the gameplay a bit (being stage-based, as you said). It's definitely something that games like the modern Mario games lack. Also, these item shops are so new to me in a Sonic game, fan-made or official xD; seems pretty interesting though .

 

I really look forward to more   !

Hey thanks! I really enjoy it when games introduce new gimmicks that fit the theme of the stage, and I feel that it really makes the stages stand out from each other. It was something that I've always overlooked when it came to designing them.

 

Also with the stage designs, I'm hoping that it will make some of the items in the shop more useful. I'm hoping the same with the new enemy life bars.

Why is Miles "Tails" Prower and Rouge the Bat hanging around in the Hub?

[Nefault1st]

Why is Miles "Tails" Prower and Rouge the Bat hanging around in the Hub?

They're there for scripted dialogue and provide information about upcoming stages and anything else the player might want to know. Of course, this is all work in progress.

TAKE MY MONEY NEKKO-KU-*barfs at stupidity of comment*
Fun fact, I ran out of stuff to say how amazing this is :/

Nice addictions, I actually played an older version before and it's so bad. I think it's the best Sonic game I've ever played. And the second act looks very fun too. But I wouldn't make homing attacks symbols blue, it blends with the blue background. Red would look waay better.
