Chaos-Fusion Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Special Stage Engine I take back what I said earlier about not needing a topic as I probably will release this for others to use once its fully completed. Basically, I spent the week learning and working with Gamemakers 3D graphics to recreate the Special Stages that Sonic CD had. Current Features: 2 types of movement: Free movement and CD movement(always moving forwards like Sonic CD) Basic UFO's and Enemies to destroy Dash Pads Springs and fans 3D platforms Spike traps Quickstep, Bounce and Spin Dash 2 pre-programmed Special Stage goals Zero robot from Sonic Advance 2's Special Stage Ring Loss Possible Upcoming: Editable GMK Homing attack More platform types Particle effects Parallax Various pre-programmed Special Stage goals Screenshots Link: http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/219041-sonic-3d-special-stages http://www.mediafire.com/download/6w71q8bf17cg5sg/Update.rar Feel free to make suggestions on what I should include as this engine is quite bare as it is.

Guest Mr Lange Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Well damn with as far as you're taking this you could make a whole game out of it. This is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Hm... A sprited 3D Sonic game, eh? EDIT: Just downloaded it. My laptop does not like it. Have scanned this before uploading it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJeli Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 What version of Game Maker did you make this with? I can't open the .exe on Windows 8. EDIT: Sorry it was Windows 8 stupid smart screen not letting me open it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 What version of Game Maker did you make this with? I can't open the .exe on Windows 8.EDIT: Sorry it was Windows 8 stupid smart screen not letting me open it. Hit the "Advanced" button, then "Run Anyway" when it comes up. I did it too.

TheJeli Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 You know what this would be awesome for? A racing game, Sonic Kart without the kart. Also you need to make the level bigger, Sonic feels way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Lange Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 You know what this would be awesome for? A racing game, Sonic Kart without the kart. Also you need to make the level bigger, Sonic feels way too big. In that case it would only be interesting if there were vertical and 3d obstacles (platforms, walls, slopes) otherwise it would get pointless quickly. Such features would be beyond the scope of this project unless he's willing. On the other hand it would be perfect for karts, given the mode 7 style of gameplay.

Chaos-Fusion Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 @ Infinity_Alex: Certain Virus Scanners really hate Gamemaker for some retarded reason so you may have to either lower the security for a few second to play it or watch videos of it. Also If it was a virus, Yoyo Games wouldn't have allowed me to upload it. Norton is the biggest offender @Mr Lange: A kart race or race in general could work as another Special Stage type but as you said, I would have to add a bit more details like slopes and 3D obstacles which may be be difficult due to how I have programmed the engine so far. @ TheJeli: As I mentioned above regarding a kart racer, programming in some of the other 3D objects may be impossible unless I change how I programmed the engine but I'll still give it a try as I am looking for suggestions on how to improve the engine.

As long as you can ensure the new features are additive. That is, the engine works the same either way, but you can opt to not use the new features without sacrificing anything. If so, this could turn into something really cool. I wouldn't mind making a Sonic Drift 2 remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I want a better version of Sonic R. @Chaos Fusion: I have Microsoft Security Essentials. @TailsSena: wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJeli Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 It really wouldn't NEED any of that. I was just thinking Super Mario Kart with Sonic. Don't even needs Karts. You would only need to add opponents and items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJeli Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 But you could make it good. If you ever release this as open source, that is what I will make with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos-Fusion Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 @ Andrew75: Nope but I do want to learn Unreal Script as the Unreal engine is amazing. Since this was built with Gamemaker, I can assume that they won't be that similar anyway. @ TheJeli: I'll release this open source once I fixed the numerous bugs and add more features. I have somewhat fixed the Platform bug meaning that this could be used for platform games as well to some degree. Edit: Also since Kart racer and Sonic R have being brought up, heres a little something I did a few minutes ago. Now with even tighter controls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 *looks at picture* I...you...this is awesome. Would you be able to put opponents in to race? This is an actual feasibility question, not a request (even though I still want you to do it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Potatobadger Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I'm very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos-Fusion Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I can actually. Depends though on which method I use though. Paths which mean the opponents will follow path around the track everytime which would be easier or an Ai that moves around the track by itself. Edit: Forgot to say though that Racer Ai's will be made later on. I still have to finish building the core mechanics before I make side additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I will love you forever if you make a Horizon Heights course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos-Fusion Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Haven't played ATS yet so I have no idea which level(Edit: Derp, the first level. My bad) that is and also, I don't have the graphics nor Lakes permission to use his graphics. When I release the engine though, feel free to try it out as I'm only using this for the Special Stages for my other project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 OK. I'm just looking forward to when you implement the racing AI. Will this be open source, so then anyone can implement the tracks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Lange Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Will this be open source, so then anyone can implement the tracks? Editable GMK Does that answer your question Alex? Hoping this gets far enough that I can take it apart for a Sonic Drift 2 remake, I really do want to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh... Would you be remaking the tracks then? That sound pretty damn sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Lange Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Oh...Would you be remaking the tracks then? That sound pretty damn sweet. Indeed. New graphics, new sound, new music. I'd want it to look and sound better than the first Mario Kart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 In that case, I'm looking forward to this very much... I may be able to help out with some of the sprite work, if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
