Delta Hedgehog Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Hey everybody. Since the forum has been running kinda slow lately, I decided to start a topic about fangames that just disappeared into thin air. If you've got a fangame you wanna talk about, go ahead an say it. So what happened to Sonic Super Velocity? It had two update videos, then nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Good thread. I know nothing about Sonic Super Velocity but I remember two games that were great but were left/forgotten. First is Tikal & Chaos. Great game. What happened to Skylight? Second one is Sonic & Knuckles alpha. It only had several videos but those were great! Developer's name was Riptor (as I remember) what happened to him? P.S. You should change thread's name to something more general if you want to discuss vanished fangames.

FanGameRevolver Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 What ever happened to Sonic Firestorm? ja, seconded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I loved Skylights game. He had one before Tikal and Chaos that had Tikal and Sonic. The style and stages were much simpler, and the engine was very tolerable. Wish I knew where it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted April 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Yeah, what happened to Tikal and Chaos and Sonic Firestorm. I'd say what happened to Sonic Revival, but Chaos Rush stopped working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felik Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Oh how about the most notorious of them all?Retro Sonic XG. :U You can always ask Nitemare or Taxman so it's not actually one of those disappeared games. And I'm pretty sure that it's being developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexus Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 To those concerned about Sonic Firestorm... me (game design) and AeroGP (programming) are still working on it, but the concept has changed once again into something else. Until we get something substantial, we don't want to say anything else so it doesn't end up being yet another disappointment from us. Since we're both busy, development has been slow on it. I also miss Tikal and Chaos, but I also haven't heard from Ashura: Dark Reign since it announced it's move to the USDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felik Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I also miss Tikal and Chaos, but I also haven't heard from Ashura: Dark Reign since it announced it's move to the USDK. Their profile on Moddb also disappeared. I really hope that it's going good and not canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessler12 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I forgot all about sonic GL. What happened to all the STH06 based games and sonic adventer remix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexus Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Sonic Adventure: Remix was cancelled... and changed into Sonic Firestorm years ago. Also, I completely forgot about Sonic GL. That game looked tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I loved Sonic Adventure Remix and Sonic Firestorm too. I wish someone would make a solid Sonic Adventure 2D like remix was attempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanGameRevolver Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 there was that 2D version of 06 that looked kind of cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I loved Skylights game. He had one before Tikal and Chaos that had Tikal and Sonic. The style and stages were much simpler, and the engine was very tolerable. Wish I knew where it went. This. I loved that game's feeling. Seriously, i was anticipating seeing where Sonic GL went more than an official 3D sonic title. The guy had youtube videos up showing off his work, and it looked promising as hell, like he really knew what he was doing. I think it was a stupid ass reason for him to quit making the game, but it was neato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvarthecreatorgames Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I forgot all about sonic GL. What happened to all the STH06 based games and sonic adventer remix. There is 1 STH06 game that is still coming.. and it has to be a full 2D version of the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekrayzis Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Their profile on Moddb also disappeared. I really hope that it's going good and not canceled. Ashura: Dark Reign is still being worked on. As ADR is now a fangame and not a Modification, the link was changed.

Mogget Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 there was that 2D version of 06 that looked kind of cool too. Do you mean the one by Blaze? Or was it even by him? Oh, whatever, the one with only Kingdom Valley. Nevertheless that was just supposed to be a one-level game, and it's not like it disappeared, it's still available somewhere. I think I found it on youtube. Unless you're not talking about it, in which case ignore me. EDIT: Yep, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 I miss Riptor's Sonic and Knuckles Alpha. It's pretty much dead. He hasn't posted since 2007, he deleted the videos of it on youtube, and deleted the website too. It will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now i think about it, i remember he also had screenshots of a character select screen and a video of the Sonic Vs. Silver boss fight. What happened to them?

BlazeHedgehog Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Now i think about it, i remember he also had screenshots of a character select screen and a video of the Sonic Vs. Silver boss fight. What happened to them? The short of it is a HDD crash. There's a longer story to it, including how the HDD crash was partially my own fault, but the lesson here is: Always back up your stuff as often as possible. I didn't. I lost over a year's worth of data. Which, as you may have guessed, included what was going to be the "final" version of Sonic 2006 2D. I never, ever, ever intended on doing the whole game - it started as a side project to pass the time before the game itself was released, and after Sonic 2006 was released and was such a trash bomb, it made me feel kind of guilty to work on it. Still, the length of it always bothered me, so I was planning one final release with: - The whole game ported to Multimedia Fusion 2, with the additional effects afforded by it - Kingdom Valley, Acts 1 & 2 - White Acropolis, Acts 1 & 2 - A Boss Fight against Silver - One of the game's cutscenes remade with game sprites (with the dialog re-written in my own stupid, egotistical attempt to make it "better") - Sand Oasis, from Sonic and the Secret Rings (complete with soul gauge and speed break) - The ability to record and race against time trial ghosts - A secret "realistic" mode that would artificially inflate loading times and potentially alter gameplay in other strange/annoying ways Alas, all of that is gone forever now! It's for the better, though, really. All I have leftover from that is a single EXE build of White Acropolis Act 1 without any enemies or rings. It would seem that none of my beta testers kept the betas I gave them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
