Latest News: Sonic: TFH September Update
7 comments by BlazeHedgehog on Sep 28th, 2009 digg this super bookmark
Welcome back to the stage of history. Or something. You may have noticed that there was no August update for Sonic: The Fated Hour, and that's a combination of several different factors. For starters, I've come to the slow realization that maybe I've revealed a little bit too much regarding TFH's game mechanics. This is something I touched on in July when I mentioned I wanted to keep some things secret from you guys. I probably should have kept a lot more secret than I have. That's not to say I'm short on surprises or anything like that, but there could have been a lot more. At the same time, you know nothing about the levels the game will feature, only how the basic mechanics function... so yeah.
The second reason I did not update in August is simply because, as I mentioned in July, it was the Sonic Amateur Games Expo. When you spend a week playing and writing about 22 Sonic fangames, you kind of don't want to think about them anymore.
But now I'm back - again - if only for a brief period. I think once this update is out of the way, I will have to take a bit of radio silence as I finish up what's left to code and start working on the real, actual, TFH game. I've spent nearly two years working on this iteration of the engine and I think I'm finally at the point where I can start making an actual game again. I can't believe it actually took me that long. Working on the real game means that the next TFH demo will be here. I'd like to say by Christmas, but I've missed a handful of deadlines for this demo already so we'll see what happens.
Regardless! I have video of what I've been working on.
Most of the video speaks for itself, as usual, but the biggest addition is the icon for Amy's Fortune Telling thing has been replaced with a new "BANK" icon. TFH has two ways of storing rings: Rings you are currently holding and a "ring bank". Initially, it would be that when you exited a level and went on to the next, your current rings would be transferred to your ring bank. But, with being able to buy and sell items at the shop, I figured it would make more sense if you could directly deposit your current rings straight in to your ring bank. I'll also probably get around to letting you withdraw some, too, just in case you're wandering around with 0 rings and you're near enough to a shop to warrant the trip.
So that's it, I guess. I had big plans for the September update, but rather than do that, I think this is all I'll put up right now. Maybe next month I'll have something that isn't related to coding or designing the game? Maybe not. Stay tuned.

You're doing a great job with this game =) You've also inspired me to keep going with my Crash game and I've learned a lot of things from you to keep the game going. Like making a to-do list and making folders for the different kind of objects. Plus this is one of the best Sonic fangames out there that I've seen so far and I've seen a lot of really good Sonic fangames. Can't wait to see more

um i dont see whats so great about sonic, hes blue looks kinda gay, he apparently runs fast yet he need to accelerate as if he weighs like 600 pounds. oh yah he also wears clowns shoes, and the idea of rings as health is pretty gay, all sonic does is run, run hit a bee loose all your rings then pick up your rings jump on some weird ass computer screen and then start running again, and he not that cool either
but nice job on the game
Umm, I'm sorry but I don't get your logic. If you want a realistic game go get bored with Culpa Innata (did I even spell that right?). When a game is meant to be wacky and unrealistic, who are you to base your review on its realism. Realism is not the aspect that makes sonic games so great, it's more of the gameplay. What's so great about the gameplay is you get the adrenaline pumping action of speeding down ramps at 500+ mph and fighting overly powered bosses that attempt to drop bombs on your head, while at the same time you have something pretty to look at.
Look at Metal Slug for example. Nowhere near as realistic as games like CoD, but its still fun as f***. I'll bet you've never even played Sonic before. If you have, you may have played one of those cheap-ass 3d imitations. Before you write another review of Sonic, I demand that you have a go at Sonic CD for Sega CD first.

ENJOY YOUR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT
gentlemen
Except... Fanart and fanfiction are, as far as copyright law is concerned, illegal. But there's a rather large amount of (often creepy/stupid) Sonic fanart and fanfiction out there and everybody's fine.
I am not some pirate making a bootleg game. This is a free, fanmade tribute to the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and nothing else. I think I'm probably okay.
generally if its non-profit fan work with entirly your own material created for it (that last bit is SUPER important) you will be ok. as long as its all your own artwork, you will be fine.
