  1. I'm at a loss here...Any of you guys hear of XDragoon? It's a webcomic made by someone named Felipe with the screenname "Yuski." I've seen his older work on dA and YouTube and noticed that he really likes the Chaotix. Then I remember seeing the "sprite libs" on the SFGHQ websites by someone named Yuski, who even published a few fan games there too - this Yuski was also obcessed with the Chaotix. I suppose it's safe to say these all came from the same person? I...

  2. Until I actually have stuff to show, lemme say I'm working on a fan game. It's basically a modern Sonic game in which Sonic gets rule63'd. Don't worry, there won't be any 18+ or fanservice or any of that stuff. It's just a Sonic game with a different story.

  3. So, people stole sprites from a fan game called Sonic vs. LF2. The owner of the game peacefully called them out on his YouTube channel, only to be bitched at and made infamous. I dunno too much about sprites (I've made some in the past), but which side is more unethical? *If you find this too contraversal, just scroll past it :P. I'm just curious to hear opinions from other people.

      You also hace to consider the cancelation was not because the sprites were stolen, but because he was berrated for it, its sort of like a "fuck off we only like you for this".

      Ahh quite a discussion we have here ^_^. Well, to be honest, I kinda took my old sprites off dA after the whole conundrum because I didn't want those people who steal sprites using *my* shit. Not that I really care much for the old stuff I made, but still. I can think waaaaaay back in like 2009 when people started flipping shit over TarnishPrower's sprites, stealing them and such.

      You do make a good point about the whole cancelation thing, though. It's just one of those "you trip, we all fall" situations.

  4. What is Sonic the Hedgehog 4 to you? I haven't played it much, probably just a demo. To me, it looks like a good fangame that someone put so much time and effort into. Perhaps it's not what it was meant to be: a direct continuation of the first three Sonic games, but how does it stand on its own? (Plus, I'm glad they ported to PC, because playing Sonic games on a touch screen sucks.)

      Even if it wasn't Sonic 4, I wouldn't call it passable.

      The controls just suck that bad.

    2. JiyakoZen

      Yeah, I can understand that. Also, the physics are pretty slippery and unstable.

    3. WreckingPrograms

      The physics may not be that accurate but I think the game is still very fun, and it has one of the greatest soundtracks in Sonic history imo.

  5. I've been thinking of rendering a Sonic model into sprites in Fragmotion. I'm assuming the right thing to do is ask for permission from the person who made the model+animations?

  6. I FINALLY GOTTA PC!! Took in our old family computer (Goodness, is that even a thing anymore?), and made it my own! I probably won't be working on anything until Xmas break comes up. I'll be knee-deep in college work next semester, so I'll probably drop by every now and then for fun :).

  7. Naruto's over. Anyone give less of a fudge than me :P?

  8. Anyone else impressed by the fact that Five Nights at Freddy's was just made in Multimedia Fusion? Like, pre-MMF2?

    1. GSF

      GSF

      Wait, what? It's MMF1? Really?

    2. Abominal Taz

      Abominal Taz

      I thought it was made with MMF. I didn't think it was MMF1.

  9. For anyone into techno/trance kinda music, I recommend someone by the name of Taishi. Not only is the music phenomenal, but the vocalists he chooses really put life into it.

  10. What are good alternatives to Adobe software that you all use to create logos?

      I heard Paint.net is pretty good. Although I use Photoshop all the time.

    2. JiyakoZen

      JiyakoZen

      Thanks Jass! I use a Mac, so I was able to find a port of GIMP by looking at Mac alternatives to Paint.net.

  11. About the whole iPhone and 3DS damage thing, what's the pleasure of destroying expensive electronic devices?

      The iphones are breaking on their own I think.

      They're bending. It's fucking hilarious - I can already imagine the Apple Defense Force saying that they're just implementing the LG Curve style.

  12. Working on a new Sonic game thing. I have nothing to show at the moment, but I'm grabbing all the resources I can (thx Spriters' Resource)!

  13. PEOPLLLE PLEASE STOP SPOILING SMASH FOR ME ∏_∏. I DPON'T HAVE A 3DS AND I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO GET ONE

  14. What do y'all think of the surge of crossovers similar to that of Super Mario Bros. Z? Been wanting to ask this for a while but never knew where to ask. I figured this is the perfect place for it xD. Whenever I search "sonic sprites" or something on dA I just see all these crossovers, and I don't really know what to think about them. I guess the whole thing's pretty overused, considering SMBZ is now in the old archives of Newgrounds.

      The only good sonic flash animations I've seen are the cutscenes to BTS and ATS.

      Crossovers are generally pretty dumb in my opinion. It's rare I like any - like say if BlazBlue and Guilty Gear finally crossed over I'd be super cool with that haha.

  15. Hey guys. I've thought a lot about what I said about the staff here, and I do take it back and apologize. It was just a random thought that leaked out and I feel like such an asshole for directing it towards you all. This is a fine forum with dedicated staff, and that's something we can all really appreciate. I probably should't make a big deal over this, but I just wanted to let it out. Thanks all.

    1. Rawr

      I missed what was said since I'm not on all the time (I get on in between my job and my personal projects) but, in my opinion, don't sweat it. Sometimes people vent about stuff - it happens.

    2. Abominal Taz

      Abominal Taz

      It's all good. Just know that whatever goes down, there's peeps here who will handle it as soon as possible. Maybe not lighting speed, but quickly.

  16. It's so sad for me to have to rely on Wine to make games in CF2.5. The GUI is so shitty, and the software screws up so easily. Really considering switching to Parallels.

    1. GSF

      GSF

      Virtualizing should help greatly. If you don't want to set up Parallels, Virtualbox can do the job as well.

  17. Whew, so many critiques given this SAGE 0_o...

      @JZen: Unfortunately, yes.

      @Taz: No, not really; he's trying to look sincere to further troll; remember when he was all self-righteous when we all hated his first game? Well he's not like that now, he's obviously doing this to annoy us.

    4. Abominal Taz

      Abominal Taz

      Well I can't tell with his "professional" explanations behind him cocking up.

  18. SAGE comes right around Otakon, so can't make it. Maybe next time with one of my non-Sonic games.

    1. Black Ace

      Black Ace

      There is an otakon? >.>

    2. JiyakoZen

      Yeh, August 9th-11th I believe. Baltimore Convention Center.

      Hopefully you're talking about Otakon the convention and not Metal Gear's Otacon xD.
