SonicGDK 1.20.109 (along with playable levels inside)

[Highwire4]

Well I do. I made Lost Adventure with it. Going to update the engine again now that this new build is out.

I'm working on AXSX myself, Anyone else ?

I've used GDK, and I love what it can do, but Unreal has always been a bit unwieldy to me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The only thing I dont like about the engine is the camera. It feels abit sluggish. Especially with a controller.

I Installed Sonic GDK, It Worked fine In The Menu But When The Level Loaded My Game Stopped Responding

That's the default camera, it's up to game makers to spend time adjusting the camera per zone.

That Doesn't Even Help, Make Sure You Meet The System Requirements

Keep in mind folks, it's a Game Development Kit.  It's essentially an extension of the game engine to give characters better physics, as well as a few additional mechanics; not a full game.  This is essentially the same thing as what I'm doing in Unity.
