Probably a bit early to show it off as some of the animations are off and the camera is a bit janky but its surprisingly almost like classic sonic :stuck_out_tongue:
I’m just impressed i got this running in roblox…
Lots of bugs i know about already… but please put any you find in the comment below.
Also I would love to hear any suggestions for future development.

w,a,s,d - to move
hold s and tap space to charge dash then release s to spindash!

When I saw the video, I thought I was looking at the real game! :joy:

This is a really nice project you have here! I did notice some faint black lines around the parts though.

Looks almost exactly like the real game! That might be exactly the problem though. If your game ever makes it to the front page, then Sega might take it down. Maybe try adding some original assets to take away from that?

I’ve been interested in making 2d engines for a while now(that’s one more thing I’m a nut about-tally it up). I’m wondering how you did this. It looks positively AMAZING.

Tbh sega is actually really nice about fan games compared to Nintendo… but yeh i would very much like to replace all the sprites with custom ones. I might actually try even pitching the game to sega, cos they did just publish sonic mania which started out as a mod/fangame… but yeah you are right in-being concerned… thanks for the feedback :smiley:

well its actually a 3d engine pretending to be a 2d one, so basically how people make modern unity games… it not made using UI they are just invisible parts with textures on them. Basically you are a square part, with raycasts pointing in each direction, if the raycast hits something it locks your position on the appropriate axis… Umm dunno how helpful that explanation is… maybe i should do a youtube showing people how i made it…?

yes mobile support will be added in the future, sonic seems particualy good for this is it has a very simple control i.e. one button does everything…tho I havent actually made a ui controller before so fingers crossed it goes well :stuck_out_tongue:

Added more functionality + fixed lotsa bugs… its not quite there yet, but its really cool to see how versitile roblox’s engine really is :stuck_out_tongue:
Decided to make it so you can run on the ceiling


And do crazy jumps from and too the ceiling by basically making him more sticky…

Also unlile classic sonic games i’ve made it sorta work with non-standard geometry… Its still kinda janky but makes for some potentially really cool obstacles and platforming challenges

I dont think so… but the ultimate plan is to make a super mario maker type game with sonic… so if you wanted to build your own sonic levels i got you covered :smiley:

This is Awesome! Keep Going! I have some bugs to report by the way when i played this cool tech demo:

  1. When you’re on a small slope you automatically go down really fast even though I’m not moving.
  2. It’s really hard to stop moving when you’ve done a spin dash and you try to jump but you cant really do that sometimes you just have to wait.

Also for anyone reading this, i recommend for you to turn your graphics to the lowest amount in Roblox to make the game run faster somehow. @PotatoVampire7797 told me that you should turn your graphics down so the rendering can go a bit more smoother! If the game is still slow, it might be a bug with Your computer!
