We've been making some great progress lately. We present the public debut of stage 2, Granite Zone. http://pc0.hapisan.com/Overture/Granite%20Act%201%20Preview.mp3 Download Granite Zone is located deeper within the island, featuring the ruins of temples in an overgrown jungle alongside a volcano. Wrought iron craftsmanship and ancient trees weave through the scenery, as lava from the volcano overflows into the ruins, making them difficult to traverse. Mysterious flying objects can be seen far away hovering in the sky. We're also happy to announce that Sonic Overture will have a new home, as a new engine is in development that will free us from the limitations of MMF2 and Sonic Worlds. Stay tuned for updates.

Well here's my try at a smash bros menu

A new mock up for our fan game and this is the final remake of our winter zone, "Glacial Glide" !!! Background totally remade, tiles updated, colors update, etc.

Marble Zone always gets flac for it's diversion from the otherwise smooth gameplay, but I personally always had some odd affection for the bizarre level, and I'm glad to see an homage to it in Sonic Overture. I also get this so sort of Altered Beast feel from the graphics, with it's somber colors and grainy texturing, which I absolutely freaking adore. This game that you guys have crafted is truly amazing and I can't wait to see more of what it has in store for us. And I'm interested in what this whole 'new engine' business is. I doubt it's anything major, but I'm wondering what 'limits' of MMF2 you'd need to exceed with a different engine.

Sure, I'll give that an upvote. I'll admit, when I saw the first image posted I wasn't expecting a lot, but the game in action actually looks quite visually impressive. Not sure how it stands up from a gameplay perspective, so I guess I'll have to give a shot sooner or later. I'll try the demo first. EDIT: There's a lot of good in this game, but there's a lot to dislike too. Movement in particular feels incredibly awkward and there is frequently just too much crap going on at a time and the levels (both prearranged and randomly generated of the ones I've played so far) aren't at all accommodating when it comes to trying to maneuver freely. The weapon combinations are certainly interesting to explore though. I might pick up the full version later.

Weee!
