General Information
WELCOME TO SONIC UNITE
Sonic Unite is a 2D Sonic Fangame built in Unity, Made by the fans, For the fans
INTRO:
Sonic Unite aims to be a high quality (to the best of my ability) fangame that adds new concepts while keeping core Sonic gameplay elements from the original trilogy. as such, the aim is to not reinvent the wheel. Game physics are accurate and should just feel like a continuation of any other sonic game with a few QOL enchancements and exciting new level ideas. i want to release the game sometime this year to coincide with the 30th anniversary games.Sonic Unite is a 2D Sonic Fangame built in Unity, Made by the fans, For the fans

Sonic Unite was developed in Unity (Dont let that put you off) i chose Unity because i have the most experiance with the engine and have made games in the past for it. The game uses a highly modified version of the Sonic Realms Engine found here
Music for the game is pulled from various community artists from newgrounds with permission (yes i'm as surprised as much as you are that it's still a thing) this was done to spotlight some lesser known artists while also providing an amazing retro soundtrack.
Some graphics and spritework reference their original but some are drawn by my wonderful best friend nephele. She's super cool and talented and her artwork really shines
Sonic Unite also features Discord RPC integration. check it out below
GAMEPLAY:
FINALLY The meat and bones of the project. Before you even begin the game. Sonic Unite has a patcher which is used to keep the game up to date. please read the notice box for more information.
In Sonic Unite. You admire the crash landing of the Death Egg directly after the events of Sonic and Knuckles. However, Your victory is short lived as the doctor has one last ace up his sleeve. While also kidnapping tails in the process. Travel through 13 acts across six zones to save your buddy and defeat the doc once and for all.
In the Demo. Certian stages are unavailable as they are still work in progress. also, little to no boss fights have been implemented at this time. Other than this. the content is fully playable and i hope you enjoy what is there.
For Completionists. After beating the game. A super hard level will be available to play. HyperNova. This is a brutal take on a Sonic Level and only the brave of heart will be able to complete it. Good luck and embrace the challenge.
Sonic Unite has the ability to load image data to be used as a custom level. This feature is in beta. for more information. please check the documentation here
CLOSING THOUGHTS:
I hope you enjoy playing my game as much as i enjoyed making it
