Blue Frenzy Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well, I will make you an advice, do not make global objects. Those water bumps and shooting machines should be local objects. If you have global objects, you will finally decide to use them when you are out of ideas, and it will become repetitive. Instead, if you make local objects for each level, you will be forced to play with what you have, increasing the chances of finding a nice and challenging convination, and also forcing you to create new interactive objects, giving the game more variety. Just a suggestion. Else, it looks like a stable engine, although I didn't watch it in full action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 This looks alright but I have to say I'm never a fan of making two fan games. The chances of a fan game getting finished around here are slim enough without game creators taking on two projects. Plus why not just incorporate the new ideas you have into your existing fan game. They may not always work with your other fan game however since you are just making two Sonic games it should be easy enough to transfer your ideas from one to another.

Replace "global" with "general", "local" with "level-specific", and "object with "gimmick". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damizean Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 ashauHSAUhsua because it's cool You should've used the Sonic Worlds base engine I released not so long ago :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Frenzy Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 You should've used the Sonic Worlds base engine I released not so long ago :3 So, now, if you don't use sonic worlds, then, it sucks? Let him use whatever he wants. Even if he wants to make a game with the built in plaftmor movement. While it is a fun game, engine doesnt matter, you are not paying for this.

And no, I didn't mean him to use the whole Sonic Worlds engine, I meant just the base engine, wich works way better and uses way less resources than that ancient engine release. And I know how much you guys like the lagging... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3DR0 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't like Sonic Worlds because 99% of 2d fangames use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damizean Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't like Sonic Worlds because 99% of 2d fangames use that. By that standard, you shouldn't have liked the engine you're using because 99% of the 2d fangames used to use it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that standard, you shouldn't have liked the engine you're using because 99% of the 2d fangames used to use it Yeah, that's a pretty silly reason to dislike it, P3DRO. Think of it this way...if you finish it, you'd be the first complete Sonic Worlds fangame. So, now, if you don't use sonic worlds, then, it sucks? Let him use whatever he wants. Even if he wants to make a game with the built in plaftmor movement. While it is a fun game, engine doesnt matter, you are not paying for this. I wholeheartedly disagree. Dami's newer engines cut down on lag and that's why he is suggesting it. Having worked in both v0.2 and Worlds, I can say that the Worlds has a better performance. Yes, he can use whatever he wants, but don't resort to the "lol ur not payin" bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 So, were you playing the game or did the game run Sonic by itself? Looked boring. Plus, at the 45 second mark, you strung like 9000 loops together. Wuzat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rael0505 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I clicked this and thought "oh look, it's sonic unleashed in 2D form." Then I looked in the tags, and saw Sonic Unleashed was in there. Is this game intended to emulate its gameplay in 2D form or something? Grind rails are the worst idea ever. They were only used properly in Sonic Adventure 2, particularly city escape. You could choose to hop on a rail when going down the stairs to pick up speed, or in other areas you could jump on a rail to let it lead you to a different area - but you could almost always take an alternative route right by the rail if you chose to. Rails are only good when they intertwine with the rest of the level design really well. Long grinding segments, especially those that are right above a bottomless pit, are annoying. Not to mention that grind rails simply don't work in 2D, because everything that I just said becomes near impossible. Only Sonic Advanced used grind rails well - and that is, only two or three times in the entire game. Grind rails should be used very, very sparingly, if at all. You'll want to gear your level's gameplay towards specific gimmicks/interactive objects, which so far in this engine you don't have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Sky Rail Rael.=P What Slinger said, there was way to many loops and it look kind of boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of it this way...if you finish it, you'd be the first complete Sonic Worlds fangame. True, but there probably are not any fan games finished with the engine he's using now lol. That was a joke but seriously I don't really care what he uses, I'm not saying there are not more advantages to Worlds cause it is a better engine but who cares, if it runs slow on my pc then I won't play it.

Rael0505 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 I didn't mean to come across as angry, sorry if I did. Just be careful when designing the level, a bunch of loops next to each other and a series of grind rails won't make a good level. Take my advice on the level-specific gimmicks, the genesis games were full of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 At the 5 second mark of that video, you can see P3DRO's launch gimmick above the loop. Let's also not forget that he left the Sky Sanctuary tiles in. What a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
