Yes. There's already a bunch of examples of non Sonic games on the showcase.

There's two edit links on the submission page. One can be found in the top right under "item tools" and the other is near the bottom.

All SAGE entries are reserved until the event goes live on August 25th.

If you have a minor question that can be answered in a post or two and doesn't require a discussion, please ask it here instead of making a thread for it. If your post doesn't get an answer, it probably means nobody has one.

I don't know what made you think this was allowed but it's not. Making a second recruitment thread when the first was locked is even worse. This is a warning. And I'm going to give you advice on the topic. Recruitment like this is typically frowned upon anywhere because you're making an empty...

No good. This is a help thread and a repeat. You also need to learn how to write better.

Hello Kevin. We don't allow recruitment threads. You can ask for help if you have a project thread that meets the minimum guidelines. Please read the rules.

No difficulty modes, the game will be as is. Difficulty can vary depending on how you play. All ideas are subject to the same discretion. I only apply what I consider is good and works well. I prefer sticking with my own for cohesion and to try and prove my own concepts, and I prioritize the...

It was made clear in the very rule I quoted to you. If you already have a valid thread for your project, you can make a post asking for help in that.

@HyperSonic Fan Your recruitment thread being locked did not mean "go make a recruitment post on another thread". This is a warning.

It's not a matter of realism. It's both a measure of control and challenge. It would be much worse to control Sonic if he could make hairpin turns at any speed. Wanting to make sudden turns is more so an issue you're having with the demo's level design. That said we're trying out a drift...

The problem is that by calling it 1.6.0, you're taking the official release title, so I'm asking you to please change the name.

Hey BaconEgg, welcome. It looks like you may have added some good features to Worlds, but understand that it's officially maintained by certain people, and they determine version numbers with official releases. You're welcome to release your own branch under a different subtitle (like "Simple...

The same moderation guidelines apply to showcase submissions outside of SAGE. We've determined using assets here and there will be fine, what we don't want to see are significant or full on recreations of Mania content (eg a level right from Mania using all the same sprites, objects, music...

Sega decided to be cool with us making fangames. We respect this by trying not to step on their toes. This means we avoid anything that would be significantly infringing to their franchise rights or ability to profit (eg monetizing a fangame). Given Sonic Mania is fresh out of the oven and in a...

This is a wonderfully dedicated and thorough foray into the fangame scene and a great project thread opening post. I hope others take after this example, and please do stay with us and continue.

I'm sure a lot of that is due to unfinished and faulty controls. Unity's native input doesn't handle the joystick smoothly and there tends to be a delay when you try to steer Sonic in tiny amounts resulting in sudden jumps to angles a bit farther than desired. Proportions for size and movement...

No comment. There will be six zones in the main game, and they won't be divided in acts; one level that goes straight to a boss. Main reason for this is project scope and technical challenges with dividing zones into acts. There will be things from the classics returning to some extent but I...

There's a conflict here concerning this fangame. https://www.sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showcase/sonic-crisis-twilight-revelation.49/ This SAGE 2017 submission has the same title and logo, but was submitted by someone else. You comment on it saying they are stolen, which the submitter replies...

Main reason I've spent so much time on R&D is to come up with as ideal a solution to modeling as possible. I don't like having to deal with static models and either endless pieces or meticulous hand modeling for elements that are not necessary, it makes level building rigid and clumsy...

I can't really describe modeling rates since the time I spend on them varies and there's a broad range of complexity between models, but generally I can model quickly. The badniks for the demo were modeled, rigged and animated in about 3-4 days. I'm very unsatisfied with the level modeling in...

Oh this looks good, please continue.

【5】Guidelines for Fan Games/Hacks Threads 5.1 - You must provide substantial proof that your project actually exists. Once you have at least a couple of screenshots, you're free to create a thread for your project.

Most of those odd bugs are no longer relevant since for the most part the code from the demo has been scrapped and the engine has been rewritten. The rest are issues with and missing parts of physics that are being addressed as it progresses. Well, if I just went and made the other objects...

Going to cross post some significant posts and write ups I did on the Retro thread. Nice to have it here too for integrity, provide insights and may answer some questions.

Oh that's not bad. The hands and quills look a bit small. The topology on the head needs to be cleaned up, it's causing shading artifacts. Check the skin weights on the legs, they're flattening when bent.

I'm not familiar with the Steam controller and far as I know no one on the team is. It's not something I'd want to prioritize as controllers like Xbox 360 and PS4 are the standard. Ideally the game should be able to be played well on a traditional analog controller, as requiring something...

I don't think there is anything I can do unfortunately, but it will likely be pushed away as new things are released. I opened the site and there's no safety warning. It seems to just be a sketchy freeware games site that shamelessly takes games from around the internet and re-hosts them...

The auto cam will be better at orienting towards Sonic and the player's desired direction. Aside from that, there will be an instant rear centering button for the camera. You can also manually rotate the camera around along with Sonic, albeit a bit trickier, still very doable. There will be more...

Not going to spoil any stages yet. Concept art and trailers down the road will have some teasers.

Yes. I'm not fond of it much and aside from it being largely obsolete I think it has even less of a place in this formula than it would in a new 2d Sonic game. Checkpoints will suffice, and the game will not be without a new powerup.

I want to avoid any extraneous HUD elements. Part of Sonic's game design is communicating elements of the world naturally. This is very good for immersion. For example, the classics don't give you indicator arrows or reticles or warning texts or anything like that. It communicates things with...

Adding characters is a much loftier notion than it might seem. Making character models, rigs and animations are the most demanding assets to create aside from the levels themselves, but besides that, the game has to be worked around them and their unique traits and abilities. This can multiply...

Yes, Sonic won't be as comparatively small as he was in the first demo. Mura's improvements to control and camera help with that.

I've already well considered the issue of monitors. I really don't want to change that design despite the visibility issue. In most cases, I'll be able to place the monitors in ways their screens will be easily visible when approached. Sonic's model will be updated. I want to keep it relatively...
