Yeah, I really wish hey would just make a straightforward boost game or try something new like Utopia.

I think the wall jumping may have had to do with being a bird and it triggering the double jump instead. Like after you do the double jump you just can't wall jump.
Also I have to say the double-jumping was about as useless as could be. It didn't even really feel like a second jump, more like an air-stall than anything else.

Butts.

Yup, found it. Totally turns it into a great game.
---

Butts.

Whaaaaaat? Where is that?
Shit guess I better give the game a 4.2 instead of a 4.1!
Edit: Found it. Yup, up to a 4.2! Making some progress, Sonic Team.

Just played though it after avoiding most prerelease stuff and reviews; pretty bad overall.

Here's my quick thoughts. (Didn't read through the topic so I'm sure I'm going to repeat a lot of criticisms.)

Cons
-Why is 2D sonic even in this, wasn't the point of Mania so Sonic Team can focus on 3d? And holy shit does Sonic Team need some focus. Or to fire everyone except for the art team.
-Jesus these levels are all so short, especially after playing through Mania. I can't think of a single level that lasted more than 5 minutes, most clocking in at 1-2 and a half. Feels kind of like a mobile game in that way, especially with the 'daily mission' stuff thrown in.
-The shortness of levels is made worse by the fact that between every one you have to press A about 50 times to get through the dialog and the gabillion items you unlock after every level.
-Add on top of the shortness the garbage tier level design makes you wonder 'why am I playing this?'
-JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS GAME HAS THE WORST WALL JUMPING MECHANICS I HAVE EVER PLAYED. I feel like you have a 50/50 chance of a wall jump starting or you just falling to your death. And then they add a death laser following you? Nothing makes shitty unreliable mechanics more fun than time limits!
-Horrible boss fights. I don't think I really had fun with a single boss in this game. If you love mashing A when you see a green circle maybe you'll like them.
-The momentum in 2D and 3D feels like garbage. How do you fuck them both up?
-WHY THE FUCK ARE SO MANY ENEMIES GRAY/EGGSHELL COLORED? Here is an idea Sonic Team: make the things that can harm you stand out instead of blend in, you stupid motherfuckers.
-Runs like hot garbage on PC. Bad frame rates, had a few crashes, and have to run it through Steam Big Picture mode to not have the audio all choppy for the (totally amazing and 100% worth watching*) cutscenes.
-If a main gimmick of you game is to play dress up, allow people to save outfits for fucks sake.
-The fucking null zone. You get half a point for making a self aware joke about how useless that was.
-Sections where youhave to spindash or you won't go fast enough and something will kill you, but you have no way of knowing that you need to spindash so FU, back to the checkpoint.
-Overall it feels like they decided cheap deaths were A-OK because of the lack of a life system. No, still annoying.
-The switching grinding rails or lanes in the LB/RB segments feels so incredibly unresponsive
-Why do the birds have teeth?

Pros-ish
-It's pretty.
-The presentation/UI is decent.
-Character creation isn't horrible, but with no actual fun levels to play your characters on it's pretty much useless.
-A few songs were ok
-The writing got a few chuckles. Mostly not at the intended parts, but that's alright (Knuckles' "That's why they call it war" as serious as possible is probably the best Sonic line ever.)

Whew, I feel better now.

Not to open wounds here. But you know if you would have kept Top 1 you have won at least 1, maybe two Super Bowls?

If Williams hadn't fumbled returns TWICE in the SAME GAME we would not have lost to the Giants the previous year and would have at least been to that superbowl.

This topic is too much for me.

I'm going to sit in the shower and listen to emo music for a bit :/

Sorry bud. It'll be better soon.

If it makes you feel better I doubt that Kaep-less 49s would have taken the Packers out 2 years in a row. He had a way of somehow making Capers defense look like more of a dumpster fire than it already was.

Chester Engine has become this!

A completely powered-by-xml-files game engine. Still in the process of getting everything from the Chester engine to load from xml documents but it's coming along. Throwing together a few arcade-ish games to test out the system.

I'll need some people to test things out a bit soon if anyone is interested.

I have not played in forever and unfortunately do not have the freedom to devote blocks of time to an online game while my son is still so young :(

but i've managed to get through some single player games that were a long time coming! including OOT

I'd say that's a reasonable enough reason. Enjoy oot?

Also requesting a reminder mention Saturday!
Time to go get some more halloween items.

Not 100% sure if the time will work but if it does I'm down!

And there are a lot more RL players on here than I realized, we should have some RL nights.

I don't usually wear hates and I wore a baseball cap. Also the shirt wasn't really my style, so extra not-me points right there.

PLAT FORMER.

I've been taking a break from work directly on the remaster to working on some features/improvements for the new engine. Trying to think up names in case I decide to fully take it to a 2D platformer-creating engine.

Urg. Ever get that feeling when you really like what you've drawn so far, but you're afraid to proceed for fear of messing up what you've done?

All of the time. I've started to create a new layer when drawing digitally every 30 minutes or so so I can get a better idea of if progress is actually helping or just taking a drawing too far.

That gigantic robot fight got me in the mood to sketch some robots, ended up with this.


I like it for the most part but the main body came out a bit on the too blocky side.

Really looking forward to trying out Cuphead, looks so god damn amazing.

Also GTM, you're famous! From a Steam Curator ""Platformer with incredible depth of content and good music too. As one reviewer noted, however: "No fine linens". Judge accordingly.""

Can I have an autograph?

Hoping to get back to updates soon. Semester started back up and I'm an old man that went back to get a CS degree so I don't quite have as much spare time these days.

The visuals on the save manager? Oh yeah total garbage!
Pretty much all of the UI is temporary for now, not quite sure when I'll get to actually designing it all.

Might try to get to that once I get this new fake-depth platforms thing working.

Was thinking of maybe having it be a gigantic PS1-ish memory card in the sky.

God dammit I was going to take the Rams again! At this point I can never actually pick them because they will for sure go back to old form the second I do.

I'll go with STEELERS.

I feel like they're setting it up for Michael to have to work with the 4 of them to prevent his big boss from finding out that he has failed miserably . Either they play along or get butthole spiders.

Going to hold off until next week as there wasn't much new to this build besides breakout.

Packers - Toss up between Vikings and Lions for about the same reasons as that koala. I guess I'd have to give it to the Vikings if I had to pick though.

Fuck the Bears.

This game is as garbage as that pick call so far.

Going to be putting another build up tomorrow.
After that I might switch to once every other week to have a bit more in each update.

Load Screen

Psychic beavis!
New build has a simple loading screen before the game launches, instead of just taking forever to open. Still need to find a way to speed up the loading times but this'll do for now.
