OverbounD Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Remember, Graphics don't always or make a game fun. You need to remember that too "emersion". All those times you talked about how horrid you are at making graphics and stuff. It doesn't have to be perfect just a little remixing is fine.

emersion Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 It doesn't even have to be remixing. Placeholders would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticSailor Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 imo, it just has to not hurt my eyes. lol Off topic: Hey Justin, what graphics library are you using for C++? Just wondering since I was considering porting my engine to it and haven't decided between Allegro, SDL, or SFML(even though I haven't been able to get SFML to work with either VC++2010 or NetBeans yet >=/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 It doesn't even have to be remixing. Placeholders would do. Place holding is a dumb idea. Why would you create extra work for yourself loading graphics you don't even plan on using. Remixing is fine everyone does it even the people who make really neat graphics remix. It seems we only use the phrase remix when its obvious though. But the fact is everyone does it. Anyway don't use too much from any one level and change colors to make things look more unique and you and anyone who else who tries will do fine.

kirbyhi5 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Wish I could of entered this year but I just don't have enough content done that I want shown. (I'd rather show official levels as for I'll put way more thought/time into them than just show case stages) I look forward to all the other entries though. Since I got a more kick ass computer I'm thinking of video recording my play-throughs(no reviews) of all the games and make a topic of it. I always loved watching others play mine,so I hope they'll feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 I was thinking of doing that actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluehog Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Are non-Sonic fan games going to be allowed this year like they were last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Pretty sure non-sonic games are always allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Hazard Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Looks as though I'll be pretty spotty as to when I can and can't make it this year, which kind of sucks. Scott Pilgrim comes out that Friday, and I've got other plans earlier in the week. I'll shoot for whenever I can I suppose. Hope it's as great as last year! P.S. Do a Time Extension like last year pl0x ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaster1 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yesss, I just sent it. Consider Sonic Genesis in SAGE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobiethian Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Unfortunately I am not going to be able to get my game demo done in time for the event. (more than a couple setbacks happening) On a good note, I'm shooting for for next year, while it's Sonic's 20th. And good luck to those who enter this year! Something to be excited about at least.

Azookara Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sonic FreeRunner will have a demo build of a part of the first stage, in time for SAGE I'm pretty sure, but although the booth will be done in time for sending the download will make a close shave possibly popping just in time for the expo to begin, so yeah. Just thought I'd get that out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobiethian Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Good luck, even though there's only 3 days until the submission deadline, i'm sure a lot of fangamers can whip up quite a bit in that time. I'm a bit sad that I won't be submitting a booth this year, but still somewhat relieved that there's now another full year to make more, better stuff for the next one.

Aikocho Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Well, I can say my game's gonna make it this year. But it may be rough since we have a random person practically STALKING our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I can't wait for the SAGE 15 promo video, I hope Kaosu/my fangame is in it ;_; Yes a demo is technically already out, but the password for the .rar won't be out til SAGE begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ espeed Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Edit: Submission time's up! =/ I'm looking forward to playing some way past cool demos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobiethian Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 6 more days guys! I can't wait to see what's on the menu this year. .. and curious to see if Overbound got that second level done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Far as I got. Maybe I'll shoot for mid SAGE. Techniqually I haven't even finished my first level I still have a few odds and ends to clean up. However I do have a workable demo submitted already I'll probably just update it before SAGE starts. There's also a slim chance I'll finish this level and submit it half way through SAGE or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felik Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 That Eggman building looks so cool and the level overally too. Gimmicks are seem to be good but this baloon gimmicks causes anxiety. It seems to be unintuitive just like CN Barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobiethian Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Wow! Overbound those graphics are absolutely amazing!! Great job! And I love the balloon gimmick in the video too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarletdark Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Those screens look Fantastic overbound. The backdrop kind of reminds me of the ending video of sonic cd, where sonic is racing metal. Edit: Looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexer Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 This level is looking really good. I really love the tiles and the Robotnick pyramid. I hope this makes it into sage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I got the eggman pyramid idea from Star Dust Speedway. That is an animated scene on SS so it makes sense that they'd look alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
