Aha, I also think the level is pretty dark.
I noticed you don't have red rings properly configured in all levels; "Hud Order Index" is the property (select object > F4 key) you have to change, the first one should have 0, second one 1, third one 2...

That's the default camera, it's up to game makers to spend time adjusting the camera per zone.The only thing I dont like about the engine is the camera. It feels abit sluggish. Especially with a controller.
That Doesn't Even Help, Make Sure You Meet The System RequirementsI Installed Sonic GDK, It Worked fine In The Menu But When The Level Loaded My Game Stopped Responding

I can't add characters and enemies if I don't have models and their related resources, and I try to not use ripped assets. That doesn't mean that you can't create new enemy behaviours with Kismet and add your models; I can't do everything for you people.Will you add additional playable characters, enemies, and whatnot to Sonic GDK?
The lack of variety is what puts me off about the engine, which is otherwise the best fan-made Sonic engine out there.
Only time will tell... I think that using a professional game engine is tough for most people, it takes a lot of time to create something decent, so people needs to get used to the tools first and make levels... that you can find in my SAGE booth.Really love the engine, but I feel like it has the same problem as Sonic Blitz, with 95% of the games being lifeless tech demos which will never see the light of day. I feel like people are hyped for them only because of the graphics. Only Sonic Lost Adventure and Project AXSX look kinda cool.
Sonic GDK has a lot of potential and I hope won’t share the same fate as Sonic Blitz.

Pretty good, what can I say? I can't be objective about it though.
I found a little glitch, check your PMs.

I finally decided to create a site for people to keep track for updates, and I hope it becomes a hub to gather news and information. I chose IndieDB because it's a great place for all the features it offers and the community. If SonicGDK catched your interest, drop by and say hi in the new forums, or visit the page dedicated to fangames. SAGE 2014 Act 2 is almost upon us, so new playable versions will be available to download. -
At least try to see if the game boots.
SonicGDK should be compatible with any post July '13 UDK version; keep in mind that once you upgrade, your packages won't be opened by older UDKs. Also, the newer UDKs only have mobile improvements.

This may be useful for you, it is for me:I have a bit of a problem. I didn't save the description before SAGE act 1 closed, is it still available somewhere?

I'll probably do something related to character movement for UE4, but I may not share the code. And no, no public projects/engines are planned.Xalkse, just for knowing, there is any chance that your work with UE4 be another engine or at least one or two things of sgdk like the character or a generic character? I wanted to move my project to ue4 but I not having time to try to recreate at least the character from the basis of sgdk. Even been more easier now.
-
My plans? What plans? Related to what?
-
I'll keep improving the documentation of the wiki, and updating the first post with playable levels.
I'm moving to Unreal Engine 4; what will I do with it? I don't know yet.
Oh, and check my new game, hope you try it if you can.

It's a shame he used that level, bottomless pits which need precise jumps are evil.
An unrelated note for other people developing with SonicGDK, be sure to check the last 2 questions/answers of this FAQ.
Where can I modify the playable characters of the main menu?
Open DefaultGame.ini file of \UDKGame\Config folder and go to the bottom part.- To add a new character, clone one of the lines that start with "AvailableChars" and change the "ClassName" and "ReadableName" fields.
- To remove a certain character, put a semicolon at the beginning of the related line.
Open DefaultGame.ini file of \UDKGame\Config folder and go to the bottom part; clone one of the lines that start with ";MapsSequence", remove the semicolon and change the associated value of the field. Repeat the process for each level; the order matters.-

No, SonicGDK would need to be rewritten, and there is the fact that very few people are using my framework.
-
Highwire, you have your PM inbox full! (I also did)

Nah I figured out kismet thanks to Handepsilon's tutorial, thanks for the offer though!
Although I could do with a bit of help setting up a 2.5D camera. I added a CameraInfo and got it working with kismet, but the camera is too far zoomed in and facing on the wrong side, anyway to fix this?
Try to experiment with "Camera Offset Vector", which may change camera facing and zoom; also, select the CameraInfo, copy it and paste to Notepad and here to check which values you're using.
Camera system has so many configurable values... I understand that you get lost.

Very very good level, it was fun to play.
I used some debug commands and noticed why are you having so many troubles with the 2D splines, you would be surprised if I tell you that you need to use very few of them.
The free-roaming sections are screaming for the existing custom cameras, and the boost sections need 3D splines with rails enabled.
I'd like to lend you a hand, if you let me we can collaborate.

No, there is no cheat command to give an amount of rings to the player, you'll have to rely on Kismet; let me know if you need help, it's easy.
-
Then the "Give Rings" Kismet action node is what you need.
-
You're welcome guys; btw, I'll link to your booths from mine once I figure out the web addresses.
I've started messing with this again, so I'm really happy about the update. Is there a way of adding rings via commands in gameplay?
Hmm? Do you want to add ring items to a level via a command? Or grant an amount of rings to the player via a command? There is a new "Give Rings" Kismet node now.
