I personally haven’t tried making much with this engine, but from a brief look at construction features and a lot of demo level playing, it’s got the horsepower for a good number of Sonic games. Really hoping to see more in the future!
Dear Alexandre:
I'm making a mod of your engine, is about Sonic. Can you make me a spritesheet for me? Thanks.
-Thanks for your reading, ivandur112
I though it was also meant for non sonic games bcuz of the desc but it looks pretty useful
will there be a web port?
Pls make an android port 😢
Yeah, not sure what's stalling the development of the mobile version.
I donated to the project but the development is incredibly slow.
Not sure what BHGamer Studios was talking about, but if you check the dev's page for this project, the last few builds have been delving into Android support. There had literally been an update to it a few weeks BEFORE BHGamer posted that.
It's definitely not perfect yet, but they've clearly been making real progress. There's been marked progress between April '23 and September '23. It's not uncommon for projects like this to get a bit quieter around fall and the holidays each year, hopefully we'll see another update in the next month or two.
this will be an pain in the head to create an level
is there a way to make it non-pixel? i just kinda would like to make it hd or something like that
I don't believe that was the motive behind the game currently. But I could be wrong. I would look at some of the options in the menu or maybe runtime flags used for resolution.
Very cool game. A good take on a completely free and open Sonic the Hedgehog game!
this is amazing
