Updated the program, It may now work on 64-bit systems. https://www.mediafire.com/?8rv1k55tx3jgudg Remember you need to install .NET Framework 4.0. (Don't uninstall 4.5!!)

Download .Net 4.0

@Homax21907 If the program throws an error, Download .Net Framework 4.0 Client Profile.

I made a program that makes sonic-style slopes. (Beta 2) The download link is here: (Media Fire) https://www.mediafire.com/?oozx3029433zqv7 (Final Release v1) (Report if the link is broken) This program includes an example of green-hill-style zone, some important slopes, and the results of this program on GHZ example. You need .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile in order to make the program working. Please report for bugs or suggest some improvements if you need. Note: It is my first program I shared on Sonic United Forums!!!

A beta of this Sonic Slope Maker is available: (Media Fire, I hope the link is not broken) http://www.mediafire.com/download/v77vneqn4twv6ji/Sonic+Slope+Maker.zip You need .NET Framework 4.0 in your computer. A green hill-style zone is included. Report for Bugs please Note 1: This is reply #222 for Sonic Edge of Darkness Thread. Note 2: I have started a topic for this program (in Sonic Discussion forum).

I will publish my slopes maker. It will support batch exporting chunk. It supports also slope maker documents. Instead of slopes folder, It will use slope presets. (like presets of photoshop). You can add also interior texture, and make slopes manually. I may make more sonic zone utilities!!

Jassbec and SuperBliz, I made a program that makes slopes of bloks. You just need the ground texture and the floor (and the ceiling). Black solids included. It will be much easier to make custom sonic zones.

@gsoft, I may publish the resource editor and the engine not in an interface. After all the basic features are ready, I will start to add widgets, effects and the interface. Note: 1000 views to my topic!!

The graphics are changed, it is not exactly the planet freon's one. Planet freon has a cyan or turquoise tone, and Antarctic Amethyst is very bright blue. The snow of this zone also looks original.

Falling Stalactites in Antarctic Amethyst are excellent, but the screen will look nicer if you add some objects. Objetcts I should add: Ice spikes rather than normal spikes. Water Freezer Mobiles (like those if Icecap Zone) Amethyst rocks to break. (Antarctic Amethyst) Snowboarding (like the first mock-ups) Floors you slide on them. (like Diamond Dust) Snow piles that slow you down (Icecap act 2) Crushers As many Ice Cap Zone gimmicks as you want. Add snow effect in the foreground? I would like a background switch system with interior bg and exterior bg. Awesome zone that freezes my heart.

I see a wierd red rectangle on the ground.

I know the source of this level art: The Spriters Resources > Custom/Edited > Sonic Series > Angel Island Zone Credit to Skylights

@Jassbec, Just add around some design-related arts, like pencil, ruler, hammer, pins. I know it is impossible to make this beautiful logo in MS Paint. A background for this logo could be very nice for me. (Don't forget a logo without the background) Jassbec, You are going to join my credit list.

@SuperBliz, Antartic Amethist Zone is Amazing. I advise you to change the interior art, because it is a copy or the ground art, with darker hue. Don't remove the snow effect. Just add a snow background with fixed speed. A Good Zone List: Shimmering Shores Zone Corrupted Canyon Zone Antarctic Amethyst Zone Roulette Roadway Zone Towering Treetops Zone Riverbank Retreat Zone Flooded Foundation Zone Malicious Mineshaft Zone Vehement Volcano Zone Hurricane Heights Zone Letivated Leviathan Zone Supernova Satelite Zone Armageddon Angel Zone B.L.A.C.K Zone Nice Game!!!!

@Jassbec, I love your awesome design, you are very close to the final logo. Just add some design clipart, and your logo is complete. When you finish, send me different variations of the logo, and it is worthwhile if you make also an icon file. Send me also the .ai or the .psd. Good Work! @Plom510, you don't need to work on my logo anymore.

@Plom150, Nice work. Some Improvement I would like you will do: Please change the text that sonic hold from "FAN GAME DEV KIT" to "FAN GAME DEVELOPMENT KIT". It is the full name of the project. You may add some design cliparts, and change it a bit. Your logo would be appropiate for a fangame. Add more colors. Add background, of course. I am looking forward for a shaded version... EDIT: Plom, don't forget to give me the PS/AI file!!!!!!!! @Frontrider, I am not sure about the interface of the application. I will talk with my assistant, Mr. Lange. You can see the screenshot, at the first post. I would like to publish soon a tech demo of the app interface.

@Plom510, nice logo. You should give me various sizes of this logo. Give me also .AI or .EPS or .PSD of this logo. If you want, create an icon. It is important.

NEWS ABOUT SFGDK I have talked with Mr. Lange and decided to use these features: Use visual programming language, like Game Maker and Multimedia Fusion 2. Enable docking windows and panels into tab groups, like Visual Studio and Adobe apps. Use individual speeds for frames in animated images. (sprites, tiles, backgrounds, fonts). Enable prefab system for objects (e.g. bosses) to manage individual object parts. Another important feature is that you connect object parameters to the prefab (useful for swing platforms).

Guys, SFGDK is not E02. E02 is only 8x8 level editor and it is quite buggy and not comfortable. The levels will be based on tiles and objetcs (Like GM). You can use 128x128/256x256 chunks for the level tiles, like the Genesis ROM hacking. The objects in the levels will have widgets that change their scale, alpha, angle, visibility and parameters. You can see above the mouse sonic/knux jump height and tails' maximal flying height. SFGDK will be also excellent for making HD sonic fangames/remakes, because the engine is NOT limited to palettes.

Should I Buy new computer, Kessler?
