Rawr Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I think its funny just hardcore people get about fangame names. Like yeah we all ribbed way back in the day on "Sonic Henceforth" because it was funny... but is it really such a huge deal who is calling their project -what-? At the end of the day most of the titles are meaningless because all fangames are derivative in the end. Just let them make their game and call it whatever. At the end of the day it's just another fangame. Instead of worrying about titles too just make the game first, since the title at this point is rather trivial.

That's funny I thought we took Sonic fangames seriously here. Guess I misread the name of the freaking website. Assuming we are taking Sonic fangames seriously here then yes a fangame's title is a significant deal. We should choose our names wisely and design our games accordingly.

InfinityAlex Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been on hiatus for a few days. Not that it matters, seeing as I probably won't be at SAGE... Once everything in the first act is done, I'll post a gameplay vid, we should be sometime this month, if I get my ass into gear again. Either way, more stuff coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinityAlex Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, kinda like putting mod.gen or Sonic 1 sprites in a classic game. Not looking at any game in particular. Just a random comparison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know which is the superior sprite. sonic 1 raight gais really depends on situation tho nd u can always edit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted August 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Nah. Mod.Gen = Superior. Much nicer to look at, eh, Lange? Suppose the ultimate graphical choice for fan games is pre-rendered sprites, though. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny because I don't remember it always being this way - I recall that people made fangames for the fun of it because that was something they enjoyed doing. Because it was just them paying their own little homages to a series they like. People getting so serious about them that we nitpick peoples projects to all hell these days (especially over the titles) before they have a chance to even really show anything off is a bad thing. But hey, whatever floats your boat I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serephim Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well back in the past we did used to nitpick over fangame titles. And then we grew up. You guys obsess over the most ridiculous things. Titles, fancharacters, sprite style selection....fangaming has gotten pretty pretentious at this point. I mean seriously, people actually bitch when someone is using a style that isn't classic these days. Does anyone remember the sprite section from the older website?

Does anyone remember the sprite section from the older website? lol then what are you doing here. Also I've already played a build of Alex's game and its nothing like Sonic Advance, it plays like the 2D 06 engine, so I consider this important enough to merit a title change in case someone eventually does want to make a legit Sonic Advance 4 without feeling deterred from the project just because the name was taken, or if said person does it anyway, so there won't be meaningless confusion for everyone else. In our subculture world of Sonic fangames, this is important. This forum is all about that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay to be honest I think you're starting to take this a little too seriously when it's just a game title for a project that hasn't really surfaced publicly yet. Let Alex work on his game and concepts first, then he will discover what to name his game in the process. Alright guys let's stop bickering about the name of the game, yes? It's not as important as the game engine itself and its concepts/gameplay design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinityAlex Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Lange, how do you mean 2D 06 engine? If you're talking about bugs, they're fixed. It's more akin to a 2D Generations/Unleashed engine. SuperBliz, thank you for your support. I will think of an official title, even if it is of no relevance to the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also 2D Generations/Unleashed, which is its own continuum of gameplay mechanics. That's why I'm saying leave Sonic Advance 4 open in case someone really does intend to continue that series properly. But, you've already planned to change the title, so I'm just making this point for the sake of others here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone really wants to make a Sonic Advance 4 then they'll do it, just like Alex is right now. It is a fangame. Besides, if you were both making the same fangame idea in parallel then the competition could only be a healthy thing. Sega doesn't even give a shit about their sequels anymore, if Sonic 4 and Phantasy Star Online 2 are any indication, both sequels to immensely popular games that have no respect for their original titles. They've been dumping over their profitable names for an entire generation now. You are whining for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
