Going Multi-Place, Multi-Platform and Using Teleport Data! Big Updates To Sonic Speedway!

Hey guys been putting lots more work into my game, finally managed to implement a ton of stuff I’ve wanted to do for ages and I hope will really set my game apart.

So i guess Its about 8 months development now and It’s still going really well. Since starting with my rather clunky custom character controller way back in January I’ve slowly turned it into a really smooth feeling game.

Building everything from the ground up has been a really difficult but totally rewarding experience. I defiantly feel its essential to use as much custom code as possible to give you game a unique identity…

I’ve hit so many roadblocks and fixed so many bugs, but i finally think its at-least working as well as most of the other fan-engines on and off roblox.

I think this shows just how flexible and powerful the roblox engine actually is… and how important it is to learn to raycast XD.

Anyways current features include:

  • Awesome main menu- with multiple modes and many select-able characters, they don’t have their special abilities yet but they do move at different speeds, have different acceleration, top speeds, jump height, friction, traction… etc…
  • Story mode, where you will play each level sequentially or time trial where you can play the same level over and over to try and be top of the leader-board!
  • There are now 2 whole zones of 3 levels each, with 2 hidden levels, and a tutorial level. A total of 9 complete levels so far… With several others in development
  • There are proper loading and saving of game progress and statistics
  • Also leader-boards that show the fastest complete times for each of the level
  • There’s a Ranking system where if you can get an S rank you get a badge! (Be warned its super hard)
  • I think there is an unbroken anti-hack… tho the hackers wouldn’t tell me if they had broken in! XD
  • You can play on tablet, phone, Xbox or PC, you can customize your controls on PC or use game-pads
  • There’s also a low graphics mode if you have an old old phone like me
  • I think I’ve finally got a multi-place private server system working (This has been a particular nightmare)
  • There’s a new zoom feature that allows you to customize your view.
  • There’s also bubble chat!
  • New Effects and improved GUIs

SEGA is actually one of the first few companies to not care about copyright, so your fine there!
HOWEVER. DO NOT USE SONIC MUSIC, THE ASSETS ARE NOT COPYRIGHTED. BUT THE MUSIC IS HEAVILY GAURDED BY COPYRIGHT

Lol i didnt actually upload any of the music i just been stealing ti from the toolbox… so yeah it might disappear one day but my account will be fine… Thanks for the warning tho :smiley:

This isnt how it works, sadly.
They will check inside your game, not just look at the library and find copyrighted audios.
Plus, most copyrighted audios are made to bypass moderation using a complex method
[btw, ik this is off topic but halloween is soon! hope my teeth last till october :spider:]

Sadly, i’ve seen many games taken down although they did not upload the music
