And my **** sucked when i drew that.

Holy ****.

It's just graphics, but enough people confuse it for being the whole dealio that it's pretty much become a ubiquitous term for 'official Sonic engine.'.

It would probably be quicker to achieve, as well. However, there would probably be a lot of very irritating copywrite hoops to jump through for that, much like the people who remade the first episode of DooM for Doom 3, but couldn't make the other two episodes because only the first one was ever released as a freeware demo.

Actually, disregard my other reply, I just fixed my own problem. I used a program called XPadder (Dunno if you've ever heard of it) to map the control keys to my xbox 360 pad (With both mouse right, d and mouseleft, a on the left and right of the stick), so now I can pretty much move like any other console sonic game.

Also damn, using a gamepad adds so much to the experience in my opinion. I now even moreso feel like I'm really playing a pro-developed sonic game. You've done some amazing stuff programming wise with this, Xak.

Well, that's why I left the comment instead of just talking to you guys, my internet is on a constant on/off right now, so messenger doesn't stay signed in long enough for me to actually send messages. I'll see if I can get on long enough to talk on meebo's msn or something.

Ugh, I wish I could tell you guys this personally, but my internet is FUBAR right now:

This. Is. AWESOME. I had some serious gripes about the old tech demo that I think I expressed to Dekrayzis when it came out, but holy ****, this is such an improvement. The alternate paths, the re-worked areas, the return of the beloved Sky Sanctuary proto map ;_; (That one got some real nostalgic feelings out of me, circa 2006.).

Also holy damn, the Unleashed style camera transition. I didn't think you'd pull it off, but Jesus, I nearly cried. My only complaint is Sonic doesn't seem to like turning when he's on a 2D plane, I'm guessing that has to do with the fact that the model has to literally turn around, thereby hitting some sort of border or restriction (Such as facing a certain direction).

also, I still think you guys should find a way to work the camera so it's behind sonic at all times. Having to toggle around the mouse is kind of annoying.

BUT OTHERWISE, this is amazing, I regret ever doubting something good would come from the project. It's taken 3 and a half years, but this is some serious quality work.

I hate sounding dry and cliche in comments, but awesome work, really. The game play in this mod is strangely addictive for being so straight forward, I can only imagine how awesome it would be in a darker atmosphere (Literally darker, makin' use of that flashlight.). Also, amazing how fast you guys work. I remember reading a post about this on the Epic forums just maybe a week ago, and already bam, a playable version out. Keep up the great work!

Man, I said this before on MSN, but frickin' sweet to see GoUT going again. My sad little laptop is dancing with glee.

Honey, I'm home.

Figured you guys would be able to pull it off eventually.

Check the news page for further progress upates. As you should notice by now, we're slowly becoming more open about progress again. For now.

Yeah, letting everyone know we aren't dead. Just silent.

Check the news page for updates.

Also, just to note to everyone, the UT guns will of course not be present in the final mod. Just thought I'd mention that since they might be kind of a turn off looking at the screenshot.

Well, some people have doubted our progress, so their you have it. Pre alpha shots of our first map. The death egg alone should make any old school fan feel warm and fuzzy inside.

ModDBs image stuff is finally working again, so you can now check out the Eggrobo model and Monitor in the image gallery.

Yeah, been a while since I posted here. Anyways, some things are getting done and I figure it's only fair that the public actually sort of knows what's going down. Everything but the forum stays way under-dated. ANYWAYS:

So we've got monitors being worked on right now, old school style. not this bubble crap from the adventure/advance games and we also have our first map under way, though I can't actually say eanything else about that. Hell, Dekrayzis might kill me for mentioning that. anyways, stuff's happenning, we are NOT DEAD. Just moving slowly.
Monitor: (Sor some reason it wouldn't show in the image gallery)

Thanks =D. It's always nice to see loyal supporters interested in our work. Keep your eyes peeled, new things are starting to be developed every day. Small new things, bit's of code, etc, but new things none the less.

Sonic 3 had a snowboard. It was cool XD

And yeah, funnily enough, we were just mulling over the idea of an egg carrier map last night O_o.

firstofall, thanks for the crits. We're always encouraging people who can give us their oppinions so we can make this a better mod =).
About the hover boards, they weren't taken from another mod or sega actually, hell, sega could have taken them from our project leader Dekrayzis.
Ataricommunity.com
as you can see in that thread, the initial hoverboard idea was tossed in sometime in July. Months before Sonic riders was even announced.
The characters are far from finished, We haven't even got our actual texture guy working on them yet, that's soon to come.
In game stuff, well, we haven't got much yet, due to our coders situation -_-, and as far as conceptual stuff goes, if we showed the public everything then there wouldn't be much to reveal as you're playing the game XD So i can understand you being somewhat skeptical about our stuff.
again, thanks for the crits, be sure to check in every so often for updates and stuff.

This is not a request, nay, it is a plea. we stand... er... Sit typing... before you, asking for any able talented coders to come forth and aid us. If you have the commitment and the talent, or know someone who does, PLEASE aply or send them our way. We could seriously use the help. We're desperate, and we're screwed if we can't get some people.

Thanks in advance.

Good luck with that. I've been looking for months and haven't been able to find it anywhere. on a second note to nayone who cares, we aren't dead. At all. just... not horribly active right now.

Dekrayzis released a beta Sonic Model at one point, but if memory serves it was only available for a limited time. I don't think it's currently available anymore.
