I think that is interesting, not funny lmao

History repeats itself

I thought you were gonna say we have the both remade by fans because sonic team should've concentrated on one game at a time to ensure quality.

That's a new skill we added! I'm glad you like it!

If, by some chance, you end up reaching such a point in development, I'd love a skill to transform into Darkspine Sonic in regular stages like in other Sonic games where you can become Super Sonic

​@@greenknight9000that would be awesome

Come to think of it, we never see sonic use other rings other than rage sadness and hatred, what would lightspine sonic look like or even truespine sonic?

This was actually a feature in the original game as well!

Can confirm, hated that one cactus stack at the end of the Die-Hard mission so I just ran into it face-first with Speed Break

Overrated*

​@@GiovanniKody100how is it overrated

@@Matthew-ls7rv literally everyone likes it

My favorite sound design is Frontiers, but I do like the Silver Ring noise, the Homing Attack reticle noise and the menu scroll sound! Plus honestly the pearls sound effect fits Sonic Speed Simulator more than here, where it originated. Same for the Saturn 3D Blast music, I actually think it fits Speed Simulator more than the actual 3D Blast

Ahh, I forgot to sync that! I'll try to add that back in xD

I hope I get to work on an official Sonic title someday. Maybe this can serve as a portfolio piece to get me hired :D

@@KumaPauZ We should send you to Sonic Team in Japan. We need to get in touch with Iizuka haha

Thanks for hearting my comment :)

Speed break needs a complete visual overhaul eventually ^^

The run animation speeds should be fixed by the next update ^^

Need to make some progress before I get dragged back to college :3

The game will probably keep the same mission structure of the original, with new icons to show which missions advance the story. I also thought that a more structured system would be ideal, but unfortunately that would require major changes to the game's progression since the number of stages you're required to play changes depending on how relevant the area is to the story.

@KumaPauZ If one would allow cutscenes to play both before & after a mission, plus with only few to be played spliced together, I think that you could get away only 3 missions with matching gameplay to reflect what is happening in the story. In Sand Oasis for example: -Go For the Goal -Grateful Ali-Baba -Defeat 20 Enemies -The King is Found -Sand Scorpion appears -Boss -Yellow World Ring And, if you decide to save Evil Foundry as zone 5 in the order, it can be like this: -Dino Jungle Go for the Goal -Smash Genie Eggs -Green World Ring -Find Dino Eggs -Rescuing the King -The Fire Spirit Appears -Ali-Baba's advice -Levitated Ruin Go for the Goal I'm actually kinda really liking the order of rescuing Eggman AFTER destroying the Genie Eggs & Restoring the Dino Eggs. It feels like a classic Sonic Game, with Sonic Destroying egg-capsules & restoring nature. And since Eggman is RIGHT THERE, it feels almost like that was the intention all along? But yeah, having 3 acts, with a main Go for the Goal mission, a loop Defeat Enemies mission(or Evil Foundry Escape Mission & Night Palace Rotating Room Mission), and a Boss/Special Mission COULD be pretty streamlined if some minor liberties with the cutscene-order is allowed.

I wrote out my own list last year for what missions to play for a casual 3-act per 7-zones playthrough with a modestly leveled Sonic. I do enjoy going through the game like this, and the cutscenes could work in this order as well. If you are at all interested, here: 1- Sand Oasis -Go for the Goal -Defeat 20 Enemies -Beat the Boss 2- Dinosaur Jungle -Go for the Goal -Smash Genie Eggs -Find Dino Eggs(I like this *conceptually* as a Boss mission, but think would benefit from major redesign) 3- Levitated Ruin -Go for the Goal -Defeat 20 Enemies -Open Sinbads cage 4- Pirate Storm -Go for the Goal -Defeat 20 Enemies -Beat the Boss 5- Evil Foundry -Go for the Goal -Beat the Boss -Find the Exit in time 6- Skeleton Dome -Go for the Goal -Defeat 40 Enemies -Find the Kings Bones 7- Night Palace -Go for the Goal -Defeat 20 Enemies -Diehard And the final Bosses!

@@backlogpanic7967 I'll keep it in mind. The original intention was to streamline progression, but I just couldn't figure out how to do it so this will be useful ^^

@KumaPauZ Hey, glad you think so! I have been thinking for a while to share this "cut" of the game with others, just to see what they think. I noticed that you so far have aimed to re-create the original menu-layout, with each Zone and all the main & extra missions in each own section. A streamlined version of this might be to have 3 main categories(Tutorial, Story, & Missions). Tutorial should just be avaliable as needed, Story to be played in order, with only Missions to have it broken up per each zone, as sub-categories. At least, that is what makes most sense to me.

Will speed it up by the next update!

Dinosaur Jungle needed to be done at some point xD While having a playable darkspine Sonic would be cool, I'd need to figure out how that would work. We'll see!

DINO! THE WICKED WILD!

I hope so too :D

That's interesting! I never realized that was the reasoning behind the animation. I'll see what I can do ^^

There aren't any plans for wheel support right now, although I assume after the project is complete there will probably be a way to make it work without too many issues.

Eventually the story will be added as well ^^

There's a small possibility, depending on how long Secret Rings takes and how motivated I am. Otherwise, the source code will be available online for anyone else who wants to build off of it.

Based on the playtesting I've done, the original level designs actually work quite well with the new controls. Especially some of the bonus stages -- everything just clicks now ^^
