I’m currently working on a 3D Sonic game called Sonic Vortex Episode 1.

(I’ll post a newer video soon with some improvements).
More info:

Sonic Vortex Episode 1 is my attempt to combine Sega’s modern 3D Sonic boost gameplay with larger open worlds. There will be a focus on speed as well as platforming and exploration for collectables. Only Sonic will be playable in this first episode. At some point in the future I might consider online multiplayer.

So what do you guys think? Have any suggestions for the project? :slight_smile:

Cant use registered products or IPs owned by companies in your projects, so I wish you the best on this. You may be able to do it for learning, but you’ll never be able to release it.

Yeah I know it’s just for fun :slight_smile: Sega’s cool with fan games anyway.

Can you please update this thread with more information / screenshots. If it is not updated I will close the thread.

Looks cool, seems like the sounds are a bit delayed, but maybe that has something to do with the recording?

6

hmm it actually looks cool.

but a couple of things:

  1. get some better textures for the floor or read about seamless textures.

  2. when sonic is running at fast speed almost at the end that u were colliding with a wall. u should stop the anim, sound and give him an animation and sound for that collision it would be x10 times better. (if u r using character controller u just need a line to detect sides collition, really ez to implement)

GL! :slight_smile:

All I want to say is Good luck and it’s better than Sonic The Hedgehog 2006, But not on the textures or animation. Sonic normally doesn’t run like that. I really like how the intro to a level looks like an actual Sonic game ( Because most fan made games don’t do that or don’t do it properly and I give you props for that.)

P.S. I’m a fan of Sonic and I assume you are too?

Thanks man. I’m still working on the code but the model and textures will be improved at some point. I’m a huge Sonic fan! :slight_smile:

i was always a big fan of the sonic games as a child, probably up to sonic adventure 2 on the dreamcast. The DC releases were so buggy! Good to see the progress from the first to most recent video, things are becoming a lot smoother. Best of luck

Thanks, appreciate it. Yeah the Dreamcast Sonic’s were buggy as hell xD But my game still has a long way to go to even be on par with those titles.

I have been waiting for something like this for a long while. Please Be Awesome
