    New to fangame creation. HELP NEEDED!

    Recently, GameMaker became free for hobbyist work. The Orbinaut Framework is an impressive Sonic framework for it. It’s fairly advanced with a bit of a learning curve… but it is a free option

    Anybody that is or has work with Orbinaut Framework that could share some tips & tricks?

    I've toyed around with it some, but really only got to spend more time on it recently. That said, if I've run across anything you're curious about, I'd be more than happy to help!

    Of course! We have a slew of indie games here, and even a few Mario games. The games you make doesn’t have to be strictly Sonic.

    Hey there! Thanks for your interest! Unfortunately I can’t pinpoint a date for the next public update. Life has really slowed a lot of my hobbies and there is a lot of work to do before the next update. I hope to have something substantial out by next SAGE, but definitely 2 SAGE’s from now. If...

    The cycle of Sonic fangames must end.

    And all of this “wasted potential” demonstrates something you have yet to display: the willingness to do something. Most of these projects aren’t trying to be revolutionary. They had a neat idea and set out to make it a reality. Remember: even the smallest tweaks take some work. If you have a...

    I’m sorry you are blinded by your incredibly specific search. There were several games in the trailer that looked intriguing and fun to play! If you’re looking for something specific, maybe you should make a game to bring to the table. Proof they aren’t real fans? That’s a silly stretch. The...

    2D Sonic Fangame Engines

    Game Maker Studio 2 has a free trial with full functionality. The only restriction is you can’t publish any games. You can still test run them in the program just fine though.

    It’s entirely dependent on your needs. Gmate uses Game Maker 8, although I think there’s a Studio version floating around somewhere… MAX uses Game Maker Studio, which is not free. MAX also needs some work to get working with newer Game Maker versions. But it is doable. It’s the engine that my...

    The cycle of Sonic fangames must end.

    Spinball released in November of 1993 in the USA. SatAM began airing in December of 1993. The one video demo of Sonic-16 was copyrighted November of 1993. Spinball was using SatAM concepts likely before everything in the first season of the show was finalized.

    Will sonic xg be finished/get fully released

    From the scraps I’ve been able to glean in my 15 minutes of Google searching, it looks like progress is slow going due to health complications. In an email linked in this post, the creator says he will never cancel XG. So, I think we will see it to completion, but it will likely take a long time.

    Sonic 3D in 2D. And, maybe a bit of a stretch, but Dr. Robotnik’s Creature Capture? Not based off 3D Blast itself, but a similar idea.

    The cycle of Sonic fangames must end.

    Most Sonic fans are not “purists.” And I would argue that no, purists are not the most toxic members of a fanbase. Those would be the ones that complain that existing fan games aren’t what they want to play, and, instead of learning to construct their own perfect project, believe it’s more...

    The cycle of Sonic fangames must end.

    A couple of things to bear in mind: Most people make fan games that they would want to play. People generally don’t make fan games to please the wider fan base. If there’s not many games covering the exact topic you want, it’s probably because it doesn’t appeal to this part of the fanbase, and...

    What happens if you try switching it around and using "/mid_gba/" if soundMode() returns false? This won't fix it, but it will tell me if there's something else to be looking for.

    So, and I can’t reiterate enough how much of a Java amateur I am, but what if instead of defining your method as public static boolean soundMode() you used public static int soundMode() Does anything change?

    As someone who only has scattered Java knowledge, it wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you are returning an integer from a method that defines a Boolean return type, would it?

    If you want to stick to free 2D engines, there are two I recommend at least checking out: the Freedom Engine for Unity and Open Surge. Personally, I think Open Surge is handy to use thanks to its extensive wiki.

    Why are there almost no Sonic fangames based on multimedia adaptations?

    The Archie comics weren’t really a continuation of SatAM. They were very different stories that started in a similar setting. Besides devolving into insanity halfway through its run, I’m not really sure why the comics don’t inspire more fan games. It could simply be that the comics resonate...

    Fan Game Sonic the Hedgehog: Brutus (RPG)

    ... Why exactly? SEGA has made their fair share of missteps. Setting the bar so low (better than Sonic Chronicles) may be low effort, but hardly an example of unacceptable behavior.

    The file is a .zip file, a way of compressing the game to save space. If you are running an up to date version of Windows, right click the file, and click “Extract.” If that option is unavailable, you will need to use 3rd party software (like 7-zip or WinRar) to extract the game. If you still...

    this is my custom sprite sheet of my fan character! I hope you will like it!!!!!

    It definitely looks like a lot of Mod gen sprites that have been recolored and cobbled together. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (the sheets say you can use them for anything), you have to, have to, have to give credit where credit is due. Otherwise, that’s theft, and that’s no...
