Ok before I get into What exactly I have to say, I'd like to take a minute to say I'm loving the resources on this site. It's been real helpful somewhat.I am new to this forum so if I sound a bit unproffesional, my apologies. I have many ideas to create my own Sonic fangame. I've planned out many stories and level lists and finally decided to take action. The problem is, I don't know anything when it comes to scripting, or even sprite make. Awhile back in my middle school days I thought of a fangame idea called 'Sonic Origins'. It was a sort of omage to Sonic 2 and 3 in terms of story, and was planned to have Sonic 3 like gameplay (plus homing attack.) I attempted creating this on a game called LittleBigPlanet 2, as a way to atleast get an idea of how I wanted it to be on a real engine. So far I have everything down but when it comes to actually making the real thing. I need major help. For starters I wanted to make custom sprites for Sonic since he has a modified design. (This was the only good colored picture I had of Sonic's design ) ---> He is wearing more of metalic- like gloves and shoes. Along with a red scouter. This does not mean much in the long run for it is only a cosmetic thing. I was attempting to perhaps add a red patch over Sonic 2 sprites, but I wanted to be authentic and have custom sprites for this project. Tails was also planned to be playable in this project as well. i didn't change anything to his design. But given that Sonic would have new sprites I'd figured he should get some love as well. Other Characters I feel is unnessesary to mention at the moment, but will update if anyone is interested Another thing is a proper engine to work off of. I have a build of Sonic Worlds but not the plugins for the latest version of the engine. I was thinking of resorting back to Game Maker, Anyways a bit more info on my Fangame's story: Dr.Eggman is planning something big. A Mega Death-Egg which instead of using only the master emerald, he will construct it around all of Sky Sanctuary. In order to set his plan into motion. He must find a way to distract Sonic and Tails. He sends out his badniks to cause havok, and also makes a fake Eggman to lead Sonic, Tails and Knuckles on a wild goose chase. This plan backfires immidiatly, for the fake Eggman is destroyed within the 1st Zone of the game. Zone List: Strato Fortress Zone Emerald Isle Zone Cosmic Castle Zone Sand Battery Zone Frost Lake Zone Mega Egg Zone There is also a bonus Special Stage Zone after the main story is complete. So you can play 7 new levels to obtain Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic. Once all emeralds are collected, Time Attack is opened up, Beating Time Attack missions unlock Super Emeralds. Which give you Super Tails and Hyper Sonic. If you would like more information about the Zones, I'd be glad to respond back when I am able to. Finally as I end this off. I'd like to hear some opinions of what you guys think of my idea. I like to take critisism and use i as a way to better my stories and plans. Thank you very much if you actually decided to read this.
