  1. All game pages from Act 1 have been removed for a clean start for Act 2. If you want to reuse your old description, you can either rewrite it or use the wayback machine and see if it's archived there.

     

    As for games from Act 1 returning, it's perfectly acceptable. Sometimes it's difficult to keep making progress and only little progress is made. I'd say it's a good idea to submit your projects to Act 2 if they are still going.

  2. I had a description and banner for my game at SAGE 2014 part 1, can I use it for part 2?

    We have increased banner sizes to 200 x 200 so we will require a new banner, but you may reuse your old description.

    Also, it seems I have not much progress from the previous version, is that okay? I just wanna see the conclusion for SAGE 2014.

    Yeah that's fine.

    Mario Kart 8 came out a few days ago. It has received very good reviews. I've been playing it since release day. I'd say it's the best Mario Kart game so far. It's miles better than the past few instalments in the series. The gameplay is a lot faster, more balanced, and overall more enjoyable. The game also looks stunning in HD and is full of detail.

    The Sims is a life simulation video game series, which has sold more than 175 million copies worldwide. The series has had 3 major entries, and has spawned numerous spin-offs such as The Urbz. The latest major entry in the series The Sims 4 is coming out later this year.

  5. Rules for the Skype chat:

     

    1) Please be respectful and behave appropriately at all times.

    2) Don't insult others. While criticism of the works and projects of others is welcome and encouraged, making it personal is unacceptable.

    2B) Be reasonable when being particularly critical, don't rage that someone's work is terrible and the like. Instead offer constructive advice, stating your points concisely and simply. Do not state the same thing more than once; the idea isn't to harass people.

    3) Respect the opinions of others. If someone doesn't like your advice, criticism or maybe they happen to like a different series of video games or anime than you, please show some respect towards them. If you're mildly ribbing someone about something along those lines, it is your responsibility to make sure others know you are joking and you are not offending anyone. The occasional "just kidding" can go a long ways towards not offending someone and keeping yourself out of trouble.

    3B) If you are on a receiving end of a joke you consider to be in poor taste let the offending party and ask them politely to stop. If you begin to feel harassed and the jokes aren't stopping let a mod know and they will address it.

    4) In the event that a conversation becomes too heated or intense, a moderator will cite this rule and ask you to please move the conversation elsewhere. You may be silenced or warned at the mods discretion, as needed. Do NOT argue, use the appeals process.

    5) If you notice a user breaking the rules, the best way to help is to report the incident to a moderator. Do not act as if you are a moderator, doing so will only cause further detriment and possibly a heated retaliation. Let the staff handle the matter and don't get involved; or you may be penalized too.

    6) Each user is only allowed one account in the chat. Under no circumstances are you to create any alternate accounts Skype limits the number of participants in the chat, thus in order to ensure everyone can join, only one account per user, please.

    6B) No impersonation of other users, especially moderators, is considered unacceptable and will result in an instant ban. This includes hacking, phishing or any other form of unauthorized use of another's account as well intentionally using similar names with the intent of misleading others and is not tolerated in ANY form.

    7) Content and conversations considered NSFW should be labeled as such and posted sparingly and when reasonable. DO NOT start dumping porn shots or nude content just for the sake of doing so. Such obvious dumps or attempts to discuss porn directly, tagged NSFW or otherwise, are considered unacceptable.

    7B) Content and conversations that include locations of where to find rom downloads or warez downloads/serial numbers are forbidden. Period. You can discuss them, but cannot ask where they are nor post them. Posting the links and the like in PM however, is acceptable. Posting of torrent trackers for example is okay, but NOT linking to torrents or saying "go here and search for". If you're not sure, PM it to be safe.

    8) Blatant racism, sexism or prejudice. This includes homosexuals, those of African, Asian, Hispanic or lunar decent, as well as those who live alternative life styles, Discrimination is not accepted here.

    9) The level of maturity featured in our channel should not exceed the level of mature content one may in an episode of The Simpsons or Family Guy. If it can't be on prime time cable television, it might not be allowed in the chat. If you're not sure, ask a moderator.

    10) If you feel there is an issue with the action of a moderator or that you have been treated unfairly, first, privately message an op, mod, etc. telling them that you would like to state an appeal. You will, temporarily, be invited into another chat as soon as possible. In that chat, you are to post ONCE. Write out a single paragraph or two as to what you felt was wrong. In that single post, state the entirety of your case in full. You will be thanked for your submission and removed from the chat a while later. DO NOT POST IN THAT CHAT MORE THAN ONCE, edit your previous post if need be. It is suggested that you keep posts of logs and the like to a minimum, as shorter appeal posts are likely to be reviewed more favorably. Afterwards, multiple mods will read your statement and make a decision. If successful, whatever ban or whatever it is you are appealing will be lifted. If you are upset because you were kicked from the chat for a few hours, eat more fiber. THIS PRCOCESS MAY TAKE A DAY OR TWO SO PLEASE BE PATIENT.

    THE STRIKE SYSTEM:

    In the event that you do not comply with the requests of a moderator or violate one of the rules above, you will receive a strike. Continued refusals to comply or generally rash behavior will result in additional strikes. Upon reaching a total of 3 strikes within a 48 hour period, a user will likely recieve an SFGHQ warning point, both, on the forums and within the chat, as well as a temp ban from the chat for an hour or two.

    The warning point system functions the same as on the original SFGHQ warning point system. 3 points is a temp ban from the forum as is 4, with 5 resulting in permanent banishment. Warning points decrease over time. Forum bans apply to the chat, so yes, if you get so many strikes so often that you rack up 3 warning points, you WILL be banned from BOTH.

  6. The following are some of my favourite video games, with the version(s) listed I personally prefer playing.

     

    #5 - Super Mario 64 (Wii/DS)

    This is the game that got me into the Mario series. It's a wonderfully crafted 3D platformer that deserves the praise it has received. I was hooked on this game for many months. If you haven't played this game, you are missing out on a big piece of gaming history.

    #4 - The Simpsons Hit & Run (Any Version)

    You play as The Simpsons (and Apu) in Springfield. It's an open world sandbox kind of game. You are able to free roam and complete missions to progress the storyline. It's a very fun game. It's a shame it hasn't received a sequel.

    #3 - Sonic Colours (Wii Version)

    Easily the best looking Sonic game in the series. The Wii's hardware did not limit this game much. Every location makes you feel like you're actually there. It's full of detail. The game feels like an actual theme park set in space. It's a beautiful game with fantastic visuals and music.

    Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast/Gamecube Version)

    Easily my favourite 3D Sonic game. The gameplay is top notch with a great soundtrack and a great sense of style. Six playable characters, an interesting storyline, solid gameplay. It's a game I'm happy to play over and over.

    #2 - The Urbz: Sims in the City (GBA/DS Version)
    Ignore the mediocre console version. The handheld version is phenomenal and full of soul. It's a cross between a simulation and action game. I have been playing The Urbz for almost a decade and I still find it to be very enjoyable. I recommend buying the DS version and playing it on your 3DS.

    #1 - Mirror's Edge (360/PS3/PC Version)

    An incredible game. It's a first person platformer. You play as a runner called Faith and use parkour abilities. The gameplay style is get to the goal with some brain teaser sections here and there. The visuals and music is also incredible. A must buy title.

  7. Iizuka has revealed that a new Sonic game is in the works, and that more details are coming later this year.
     
    “At the moment, the core Sonic team at SEGA is working on a new title that will use the traditional look and mechanics of the series, which will get more details later during the year.”

    Update: Turns out it was a translation error. This thread will be used for rumours & speculation.

  8. New Facebook post:
     

    We hear everyone’s comments on the new RollerCoaster Tycoon game and want to let you all know that the mobile game and PC experience will be 2 completely different games. Both games will release this year. The mobile game will include social features (sharing with friends, leaderboards) and the PC experience will have even more features and functionality. We are excited to bring these games to you soon!

     

    It's also worth noting that RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 PC is listed as an "online game". Here's the source.

  9. RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 has been announced for mobile with a trailer released.

     

     

    According to the RollerCoaster Tycoon Facebook page, RollerCoaster Tycoon 4 is in production for PC as well.

     

    RollerCoaster Tycoon is back and it's coming to mobile (first)! Rest assured, there is a PC experience in production now for release in Fall 2014. This is just the first step in bringing the series back to its fans this year! We are excited and hope you are too!

  10. Not really. One of the biggest modders in the community announcing a new project is news-worthy to me.

     

    This is something the site has always planned on branching into. When I logged into Youtube and saw the video in my subscription box, I couldn't think of a better time to. We covered the Metal Sonic Hyperdrive hack the other month as well. Alternatively you can use the tags widget at the bottom of the main site to view news only relating to Sonic and fan gaming.

  11. Merged your thread with the feedback thread.

    Sonic United has always intended on being a multi-purpose site; covering fan games, modifications, hacks, art, music, as well as Sonic & SEGA news. Not only catering to fan games. We'll be branching out more on this overtime. A one day per week showcase was considered, but with the site's bigger emphasis on fan work it's a little too restrictive.
