Back in 2001 Sonic SV was released after around 5 weeks worth of work using TGF1, most old SFGHQ members should remember it. I started thinking about trying a fan game again and only just found out about the sonic worlds engine here at sfghq, so hey the hard part is out of the way! I'm glad to see sfghq being kind for once instead of "not static? GTFO" to people in the early days. ---------------------------------------------------- GAME TITLE: Sonic Super Velocity PLAYERS: 1 ZONES: 5 RELEASE: SAGE '09 NOTES: A remake of the old 2001 fan game Sonic SV featuring completely original graphics and sprites, 5 lush and large zones and original music. Sonic Super Velocity is being made to be fun and entertaining, not to be the next Sonic the Hedgehog 4. IMAGES: -------------------------------- Friday 7th November '08 First up is adding extra animations, now you have walking, running and peel out when you are going faster then you should ever be going! The first zone's level tiles are slowly being improved, the backgrounds are going to end up much nicer then they are currently since they were just thrown in for effect and to get the parallax layers working together. Also as a little bonus A short video has been uploaded to the Sonic Super Velocity youtube page telling the story of Sonic SV in 4 minutes, refresh your memories with Sonic riding a mine cart upside down and Diablo suddenly growing a 6 pack with the power of the emerald! http://uk.youtube.com/user/SonicSuperVelocity -------------------------------- Friday 14th November '08 I've done lot's of small things with the engine like tweaking speeds, gravity, slopes and all that to change the feel to something unique and to my needs, for example you now need about 1 screen worth of run-up before you can make it around a loop without falling off instead of a few feet in sonic's scale. Tunnels have been added but are still a little buggy, they are great for setting up some unique roots around the stage and i've always loved them in sonic 1 so why not. One twist I want to add to them is to have pipes cross over each other at points. I have also typed all my ideas down and been adjusting them all week until I felt good with the level order and what little story there is in Sonic SV, I don't think it's going to spoil much if I give you the planned level list here. stage 1 act 1 - Sonic the Hedgehog - flower fields Green/Emerald hill style stage stage 1 act 2 - Chaos energy? - flower forest SMS Green hill act 2 style stage boss 1 - Egg robo stage 2 act 1 - Two hedgehogs - Blue mountian Lot's of steep slopes to run down stage 2 act 2 - Classic reunion - Blue valley water flooded rocky area, spring filled boss 2 - Egg driller stage 3 act 1 - Can't stop won't stop - Egg carrier Floating base stage, hang bars and pipes stage 3 act 2 - History of the chaos - Egg hanger Metal base, lot's of straights, boosters and big loops boss 3 - Diablo fight 1 stage 4 act 1 - Sidetracked - Winter lake Icecap theme, lot's of spikes, ice water platforms stage 4 act 2 - Hold your breath - winter cave Melted ice, raised water. boss 4 - Diablo fight 2 stage 5 act 1 - Launch!? - Metal base Scrap brain theme, convayer belts and zappers stage 5 act 2 - Seven becomes one - Metal egg Death egg in space, boosters and bots boss 5 - Egg mech As you can see this time I plan to add some boss fights in apart from the one at the end, half of them against "Robotnik" himself and the other half against Diablo like a Sonic vs Knuckles encounter. There is a little more to that list but that's something you will have to wait untill next sage for. Being a big fan of the classic sonic games I had to add bonus stages in there, i'm not 100% sure how i'm going to let the player access them but they will not give you emeralds since there is only one emerald in sonic SV, so they will grant you continues and bonus points and maybe even the ability to unlock something. I want the game to carry a little replay value then just beating the game once and leaving it at that. If you wish to know what sort of bonus stage is being made then click the spoiler box below. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- VIDEOS: http://uk.youtube.com/user/SonicSuperVelocity Extremely early preview announcement video 16/11/08 Video update 1
