Introduction Well, it's been several months down the road since I had made the original DB topic and I didn't like how it was all forced/rushed; since then, it underwent a heavy overhaul with the main story and did some swapping so without further ado, I will re/introduce you all (Sonic United/SFGHQ) to.. *Logo not final What Is DragonBlossom? An indie 16-bit action adventure platformer with RPG elements based off of elements from the Donkey Kong Country, Sonic, Klonoa and Okami, alongside many others. Choose between Adventure or Classic as Ayasuka and her friends are sent into an journey that rooted from the distant past on mains to stop an evil force from taking complete control of the Kingdoms. Overview Long ago, after many struggles, the Four Celestial Sovereigns alongside with an unlikely Hero that took to the ranks of protecting a Princess, seals away the force as it was the cause of the among the spiritual imbalance of the land. It had caused many wars with the recent being the Dragon Wars that had brought much damage to the four Kingdoms; with rebuilding in progress and peace being restored, he made a one final vow before the Sovereigns scattered: it was a vow to pass his strength down to his future descendant in case the evil returned, leaving his sword in the ground where the seal was. Time passes on and since the seal was weakening, there have been incidents of attacks that rose in the years, eventually bringing to the full release to terrorize the Kingdoms, bent on revenge and with the insight to cause the fulfillment of a dark prophecy. At the wake of the crisis, three individuals from different Kingdoms, all from different lines of life are brought together through the strings of Fate as they must fight back to save their World and solve the mystery of the intentions of evil at hand.

She lives in a house on the mountainside outside Kazujin's capital city. Mao (Toto088's character) [ Art ] Fierce, serious and down-to-earth, Mao is one of many sisters in the Zheng family, who owns a restaurant in Houng-Tu; as a child, she was trained and raised by temple monks who, on her departure, gifted her with a sword and mystical cards with the ability to summon the Zodiac Spirits, who are beings that inhabit the four Kingdoms. Seichi [ Art ] Calm, soft-spoken and pure, Seichi is a youth that has resided in the lakeside of the Kingdom of Tsumizu-Le. He is very respectful to his mentor who has trained him in self-defense especially with the lingering threats that has been an issue; on the other side, he gets a bit homesick every now and then. *mockup, not final; WIP; tiles made by BrendaMaya/me, revamped by Derzocker; oh and Ayasuka sprite made by me, revamped by Novally We're working on a graphical overhaul to give the game a more professional touch!

There's nothing really special about that screenshot, it's just some GHZ rips with a different tone of brown and some panels. Though the background is kinda interesting, not sure what the green is supposed to be, is that the sky or the canopy? If it's the canopy, then you should add some shadows around the area where the trunks and the canopy connect because it currently looks like they're just dead trunks. (unless it's what they are, I can't really tell, xD).

-"Brown Bayou" or "Beveled Bayou" zone Not sure if this is going anywhere, but it'd be cool if it did...

It's beginning. Or at least being made in Unity instead of MMF2 now.

Sonic Adventure Emerald 31st August 2014 UPDATE I know this is a little late but there was a demo of my fan game at SAGE 2014 Act 2 and is still available for download: Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ki0a6zxc70z46fq/Sonic+Adventure+Emerald+SAGE+2014+Demo.zip YoYo games: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/228781-sonic-adventure-emerald-sage-2014-demo {All further demo releases and updates will be posted here} Original Description Why, hello there everyone! Around these parts I'm known as Bartman The Awesome or in simpler terms Bartman814, the leader of Sonic Fan Dev Guild. I have recently joined the Sonic United forums and I'm rather happy to be part of this community =3 So what is this topic about, you might be asking yourself. Well since this is in "Fan Game Showcase" that should give you a hint that I will be telling you about my fan game called Sonic Adventure Emerald. The game started development in December 2011 with the first demo being released in May 2012 with three stages. The next demo, dubbed the "Summer Demo" was released with 3 new stages in August 2012. The most recent demo of the game, the "1 Year Demo" was released on 19th March 2013, adding a new stage totalling up to 7 stages thus far. You can play these versions on my Yoyo games page but bear in mind this is not the 2014 version of the game. The current version of this game started development in August 2013, which happened between a Skype conversation with me and The True Power of Teamwork as he offered to clean up the game a bit. After his part was done I decided to make some of the graphics neater and add elements from the Sonic Fan Dev Engine, the engine Sonic Fan Dev Guild was working on at the time. The game is close to completion as 8 of the 10 stages plus several challenge areas have been completed and a version of SAE will be playable at SAGE 2014 Act 2. Also check out my YouTube channel for more updates on the game! There's also my team Sonic Fan Dev Guild's channel to check out too!

Heya all, I'm WreckingPrograms, also known as WreckingGoomba, also known as djemiegoomba. I'm 15 years old and live in the Netherlands. I decided to join because, while I love Sonic, I never joined a Sonic board before, for some reason. So I thought, why not? Like I stated above, and like everyone here does, I love Sonic, especially the good old Genesis games, of which Sonic 3 and Knuckles is my favourite. I also like Sonic Heroes and Sonic 4 Episode I (dont ask me why xD). I've always been a Mario fan, and I still am, but until recently I didn't really found Sonic too special to me, it was fun to play, but I preferred Mario. A few months ago, however, I tried out the Genesis games again (with Sonic Mega Collection), and found out I'd forgotten how fun fast-paced platforming can be. Since then, I've replayed a lot of Sonic games, and although I still like Mario, Sonic won it for me. I like making games using Game Maker, and I've been using it for 3 and a half years now. Because I didn't like Sonic too much until recently, I've made Mario fangames only. I'm still working on one called Super Mario & The Elemental Orbs. However, I wanted to do something new, because I've always made Mario platformers and I just felt like doing something else as a side project (which later turned out to be a project I'm spending more time on than SMEO). That's why I decided to make an indie (independent) game. I didn't know what genre though, and I experimented with a few genres, like a Minecraft-like sandbox game (Build Infinity) and a platformer in which you could change the tilesets/backgrounds/enemies to have different environments (Environ). However, those didn't really fit my needs, because I didn't enjoy making them too much. That was, until I played the Genesis games again. I enjoyed them so much, that I decided to make an indie game based on them: a high-speed platformer indie game. I know there are already some in progress like Freedom Planet and Spark the Electric Jester, but it's the same with other genres, so I thought it wouldn't matter. The progress is going pretty well for the 3 months I've been working on it now. I'm not gonna show it yet, however, I want to complete the first level along with a lot of objects that still need to be made, then I'll show it to you guys. Some of you may know a forum called MFGG (Mario Fan Games Galaxy), I'm called WreckingGoomba there. It's the site I've been active on for like 2 years now, and as the name already suggests, it's a site about Mario fangames, but indie games are allowed, too. But the community there doesn't have a lot of experience with high-speed platforming, so I barely got useful feedback when I showed them an alpha of my indie. That's another reason why I joined this forum: I want feedback for my game, so I can make it as good as possible. I also have my own forum, http://wgfangaming.jaxboards.com/'>http://wgfangaming.jaxboards.com/, where you can contact me if you'd like, but of course, you can also contact me through this forum. I have no idea why anyone here would contact me though, but yeah, just in case. Anyway, long story short: I'm a new member who like making games, especially high-speed platformers. I currently have one in development, but I'm not gonna showcase it yet. I joined this forum because of the obvious reason: I like Sonic, but I also joined to get some feedback on my indie game when it's showcased. So I guessed that's all, sorry for the long post

@SuperBliz He said that if he releases another version, it'll support 1.3. But for right now, 1.1 or 1.2 should be used with his engine. Oh, and Edge of Darkness is awesome, keep up the good work.

The new HUD for Sonic Reborn:

Perhaps making it smaller would be great. It is fine how it is if the level was constantly going in a straight line, but that HUD effectively is taking up 25% of your total screen space and 50% of the left side of the screen. It looks like it might be a little much. Even if the HUD before still took up space, the fact that there was nothing behind it still allowed for some degree of visibility. I'd find a way to make it more compact but still easy to read to avoid any issues that might arise from traveling left in your levels .

Looks a lot better over the previous one, and the place where the X icon is looks a lot cleaner. For the STR bars though you might want to make them just a bit shorter. They stretch pretty far across the screen.

A little mockup of my idea for new SGL's menu. Any ideas/thoughts? (deleted because of SuperSonicCon Stuff copyrights, I'm sorry for it)

Experimenting with the idea of custom player creation

Ok; so I made these just to sorta prove a point, about having a style and consistency Nothing in here was drawn. Also I suggest you also organize your roster. Keep fan characters (Black box) in there own section and organize the official dudes too in a way that players can find characters easier. Also, I added a mode option in the "Screen" if your into that. You know like turbo and turbo2 from MvC2 (xbla) I did get lazy making these; but these are just visual feed back suggestions nothing more. Make what you want to make.

I worked on Time Twisted all weekend. The result was I got a lot of work done on Tidal Tubes Past, it's closing in on playable. Here are some screenshots of the progress.

Yep, will definitely be the creepy one, don't worry lol

Some images of the Sonic World Remix I've been working in the last 2 months. A friend is helping with the scripts. To release this next Sage the first version without the interior galleries, flyckies and Tails. I'll be making a topic with a video when I finish here the last stuff and rebuild until next week. The montains textures and atmosphere arent complete yet.
