Sonic Time Corruption - A Classic Sonic fan game Anonymous 03/13/2019 (Wed) 19:08:25 No. 13857
Hello /fast/, The name's MrLevRocks, Lev for short, and I want to present you with a fan game that a few guys and me have been working on. I missed the mark making it the first fan game presented here, some anon got that honour, but alas… Anyways, you might be wondering what Sonic Time Corruption (logo send) is and why I chose to present it here. For starters, it's just a plain classic-flavour Sonic fan game lead by me. As you can tell from the title, it's got something to do with time and indeed that is the main concept of it. It's similar to Sonic CD in structure, but has some differences in how it plays out. Story-wise, I can't add much more either, Robotnik stole the Master Emerald, went to a new island of the week called Northwood Island where the Time Stones are, hijinks ensue. Now as to why I chose to post about it here. You may have noticed, I have yet to mention what actually is done. Don't worry, I'm not coming in empty handed, that'd be rude, but the small team and I lack the capacity to make something of scale. I'm personally an artist myself and what we, what I, am looking for is a programmer that is familiar with the GameMaker Language used in GameMaker Studio (1.4, in our case). I'm looking more for reliability and availability myself, rather than raw skill, but I'll tell you the reason for that next post. As for myself, you can look up my online handle above and easily find accounts of mine, proving that I'm not just bluffing, I too do my part in bringing my vision (technically not mine, but that's a story I don't want to have to type out now, ask if you're interested) to life. If you're interested, do post here, I'll share my email once I found someone so the private stuff can be discussed in private.

Another series of images have been completed and shared since, thought you might enjoy these too. This is an earlier stage than the airship from a while back, the obligatory theme park stage, with hints of Stardust Speedway, my personally favourite stage of the series.

>>19865 > I've seen this thread like a year ago Looking at the dates, it really has been 2 weeks shy a year since I first shared things here. At least we can shut up all those feel-good gurus that claim a lot can change within a year. Thanks everyone for your support. It's minor, but even kind words drive one forward.

Hey anons. OP here. After posting on 8kun I was pointed here, so I'll copy-paste what I last send there here. Has it really been over half a year since the last post here? Times flies by when you're standing still. As many may be able to point out, Sonic Time Corruption wasn't at SAGE this year. Roadblocks got in the way, team members were busy with their own (and more successful) projects etc. so I couldn't get anything done myself. However, now that things are returning to normal, I too am back in development. Here's a direct comparison shot of all 3 time variants of Tropical Trouble, the archetypal opening stage of every Sonic game. 2 are very similar, yet subtly different, and for a reason.

>>23019 Hey anon, happy to see you made it here. I'm wondering why we see the same island in the first and last image but there are more in the middle one. Are we going to have to wait until next year's SAGE for a build?

>>23021 >Are we going to have to wait until next year's SAGE for a build? That's a question I don't think even I can answer. Still having programmer woes (some things never change, do they?), but starting November, not making any promises, someone might have some time so development can continue. How long it takes until a build (and the question whether a 1-stage build like all failed fan games is such a good idea), who knows?

>>23026 Obviously I can't date when the first time I used MSPaint was, but proper in-game art for Sonic (fan) games I must've started on in mid-2013, so not that long ago. You're barking up the wrong tree, though, as much as I enjoy my horn being blown, the bulk of the artistic effort was made by a good friend and team member: WizToad. https://twitter.com/WizToad The trees, plants, flowers, the Sonic sprite, anything complex was his work, whereas I did the tiles (but not the grass, that was someone else), most of the bridges, the badnik (with yet another collaborator) and backgrounds, though the latter are mostly edits, rather than original work.

Unannounced double post. Similar to >>16623 one year ago, I made a new badnik animation using the assets of the recently completed image set. This time set in another time zone for local colour. No name for it yet.

This has been long overdue. Progress was, as expected, slow throughout the holidays, but despite that, I've managed to work on this board's favorite vaporware a bit. This stage is ancient, much older than this already almost 2 year old topic, so I decided to give it a redo. The entire foreground was done ground-up and the background was changed slightly to fit in-style with the player sprites and other stages. Thought the best way to show this was to take all the variations of this I have and layer them on top of each other, shows the progression through time nicely.

>>23630 I can't believe it's been 2 years already. Do you believe you'll be able to eventually finish it up instead of it just becoming yet another abandoned Sonic project?

>>23632 Invoke the sunk cost fallacy if you'd like, but I wouldn't halt production even if hell froze over and all my friends and team members died. It'd just take me longer to complete. We're stuck somewhere between determination and desperation with the game. Honestly, breaking façade for a moment, progress isn't doing too well, especially for something with no public demo as of yet. With only one active programmer in the team and setbacks by the hour, I don't know when even one act might be available but maybe that's for the better. A set date just stresses the team, sets expectations in the people and leads to less than as good as possible results.

Do I have a treat for you. For the first time, proper gameplay footage. It's a very basic level layout, just the fast top-most path of it because it's the most done. Lacks most gimmicks, only has one badnik so far, but it's there. Consider it also a showcase of player sprites, tiles and the stage background in motion. I'm not very good at this layout designing stuff, so if anyone has any feedback to give, no matter how little, it's welcome.

>>24643 Looking good! Thanks for the update, it's good to see this is still being worked on! It looks like a pretty simple section but I like the details, specially the shallow water section. Can you do the running on water trick on it? It's really empty so far though, I'm guessing you're going to add more stuff to it later? The only gripe I have is with Sonic's running sprite, the white from the socks and shoe sticks out too much and makes it look like he's missing the sprites for the fastest speed or something.

>>24643 Nice to see this is still going. Again, this pixel art is wonderful. >layout feedback From my view, everything looks good. Anything I mention would be more in the matter of personal preference rather than critique on something that could be done better.

>>24648 >Can you do the running on water trick on it? I don't think that's possible. The pools, part of another gimmick, aren't implemented as a water object, but something that uses water physics, as to not make the player drown in knee-deep water. >It's really empty so far though Yes, objects and badniks are in the design already, just not in the game. Still, I could tighten the layout, I heard that it's empty before. >>24651 >more in the matter of personal preference Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to hear it. Glad you're enjoying the layout so far.

>>24653 >Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to hear it Well... at the 0:05 mark of the video, I think there should be a hill instead of a ramp to let the player choose to jump and reach the upper path using the physics.

While I was working on the layout, I was in the mood to assemble some assets again and had to get it out of my system. Welcome to Shivering Summit Zone, a ruined castle found and reinforced into a mighty mountaintop fortress by Eggman. A convenient excuse for Casltevania and Wolfenstein references. Unlike usually, I thought it'd be fun to make an animated mock-up to show the various parts, but considering the effort, I'm not sure if I'll do this again.

How long has it been since I've been here? We're sort-of making progress, chipping away at coding and level design and there's pretty much enough to make a stage with now. Here's the bottom path of the first stage, showing off different stage gimmicks and enemies.

No, since we've been focussing on implementing the first stage, the later ones fell to the side. Might be a while before we come back to that one I'm afraid.
