Sonic the hedgehog fan game
Wednesday, August 23, 2017 - 11:34
Greetings everyone. i am the lead developer on a new sonic the hedgehog fan game. Right now I need a 2d artist who knows how to develop hd assets that would look like 16 bit (think sonic mania).
Sega generally has been supportive of sonic fan games, so no worries about DMCA takedown. The only thing is, this is a fan game. so I can't pay anyone including myself ( but it is a good way to show portfolio for big companies). Maybe I will do patreon at some point, but we will see.
I do have footage to show, but I do not know if it is a good idea to show it here (you guys let me know, I am a beginner at this sort of thing). but I am using a heavy modified version of sonic realm engine.
I think it would be a good indea to include footage, but i somewhat doubt you can get that many people in on this. If anyone.
I'm interested in helping out however as I m developing my own game you might need to wait a little before I can submit any art. if possible could you provide some footage. Do you want classic sonic style or more custom and unique? I can do either.
You are right, I do not have a video. but I have a demo of the game that you can get here:

it has a screenshot, and you could use either mega or sendspace download to play the demo on either pc, or xbox one
Sorry for the very late reply. I will try to get you video footage today.

It is classic sonic themed, and I am hoping it would have sega genesis hd assets like sonic mania. and with multiple layered parallax background (I already have the code for that in the demo)
I will try to get you footage today. and do not worry about taking your time. I realize that all of us are volunteering and that I am not paying you so take your time.
its all good. I have the colour pallet for the genesis and I have been working on sonic style tiles similar to that of green hill zone so once I finish the set I'll send it your way for you to have a look and judge.
ok so after playing it a bit I noticed a few things
1: some tiles don't line up properly which doesn't effect the game in any other way other than it looks bad.
2: going up hills when not running takes FOREVER
if I see more I'll message you again.
1. I didn't care that much about loading tiles properly because I am planning to replace most if not all anyway.
2. Yeah I may change sonic going up speed.
but thanks for letting me know of your feedback. and I am excited to see your set.
so I'm nearly done with the basic tiles and soon will move onto the colour and more complex design but before I do I would like to know if there will be loops and if so how large should I make them?
P.S I'm making like a green hill kinda looking tile set and I'll move on to other kinds if you like the set.
would this be big enough for the loops?
yeah this is awesome, I can adjust size for it using tiled (the software i use with unity).
Thank you for quick reply. you are doing aweseome job. btw how do you want to be credited?
I was also hoping we could make a sega genesis style city escape level, do you think you can do that?
yeah I can do that. it'll take some time but it can be done.
take as much time as needed,
btw how do you want to be credited?
how do I want to be credited?...
I don't really know. maybe something like at the end with a staff credit role or something. and just have something long the lines of
Art and Tiles: Tyran Cordine.
hey I have uploaded the current tiles I have made for the game. they can be found here.

I am also going to start work on the city escape tile soon.
Fantastic, and I will add your name to the project. Very excited
I credited you here, until i finish the credits scene: https://gbatemp.net/threads/announcing-sonic-realm-revival-my-new-sonic-...
so with the City Escape tile set do you want it so it is on a constant slope or do you want me to make it more like a traditional sonic tile set?
also do you want me to make stuff like the houses in the background or just the ground and rails and stuff?
for now, just the obstacles. no backgrounds. so rails and stuff.
Also as far as tilesets go, only make tilesets for the ground related objects like the loops and the slopes. every other object can just be a regular spritesheet for the animation
btw, do you have discord? I do not think it is smart to talk in front of everyone about stuff that will be secret.
ok yeah that makes it easier on me then. I'll try to have it new tile set completed soon.
as for discord, no. I do however have an email I use daily.
