Sonic Action Beta Gameplay

[adonis4441]

WTF

[FatetheHedgehog]

love the music.

[killaxKidx]

nice but why make a ame your computer cant handle

[DeltaSpeeds]

@killaxKidx Unfortunately, (when this video was recorded) that was the only computer I had at the time.

In 2009, I bought a new computer with a dedicated GPU (Nvidia GTX 260M), which was able to run the game over 100 fps. If you want to try the game, there's a demo my other video.

[sasukelgty]

sonic is a nerdy blue hedgehog on crack with spikey hair and SHOES

[GothicDarkneshAngel]

what his world song version is this??? i love it!!! makes me think im having the best dream ever.....with shadow tho XDDD plz tell me th song version!!! and old or nt, this is awesome!!!

[DeltaSpeeds]

@GothicDarkneshAngel This version of "His World " was remix by hggh8 (you can look up his account on youtube).

[ZykovEddy]

Nice models.

[swordfurrow]

awesome keep it up!

[Athimator]

Nice.Reminds me of Sonic Next-gen/Adventure... how did have the dash pads set-up so that when u touch them, Sonic faces the direction of them and the camera quickly pans behind him?

[DeltaSpeeds]

@Athimator Dash pads are rather simple. Basically, all you need to do is get the orientation of the dash pad (that Sonic collides with) and then set Sonic's orientation equal to the orientation of the dash pad. It only requires about 5 lines of python code.

The camera only uses a simple camera actuator. However, the camera follows Sonic along his local y axis (not the local x axis).

Hope that helps. =)

[Athimator]

@DeltaSpeeds Dude thanks alot, I got it to work ! Since I'm not using a camera actuator, I had to make the cam_pivot copy Sonic's orientation after he copies the dash pad's orientation. Made a vid if you want to see. I gave credits for you helping me as well.

[aporoid]

the frame rate could have been improved. but still awesome! i liked the 06 gunners.

[hprobertos]

naaa

[TheKeyblade2000]

This is Blitzsonic Unleashed! with hacks i think

[SonicBrawlChao]

WOW ur dumb u cant "hack" blitzsonic its a ENGINE it not even a GAME (yet at least....)

[TheKeyblade2000]

Iam not Dumb :( and i meant Its Mods not Hacks

[SonicBrawlChao]

its not blitzsonic tho. BLITZSONIC IS AN ENGINE U DO WHATEVER U WANT WITH ENGINES.

[TheKeyblade2000]

This one looks like Blitz Sonic Unleashed and how do i know when its a engine or Blitzsonic

[SonicBrawlChao]

Blitzsonic IS A ENGINE

[TheKeyblade2000]

Fauck

[DeltaSpeeds]

To clear things up, this game is not related to the Blitz Engine in any way. If you take a look at the date of the video, you should notice that this video was released more than 6 months before the Blitz Sonic Engine was released.

In reality, this game is built on top of the "Blender Game Engine". Take a look at the Blender website for more information.

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

I want download. NOW.

[OfficalTeenTalk]

plz tell what program do u use to make this

[DeltaSpeeds]

I used the Blender Game Engine.

[VenomTheHedgehog]

name of the song plz?

[DeltaSpeeds]

The name of the song is "His World ". It was created by SEGA, but remixed by hggh8.

[VenomTheHedgehog]

thanks

[SpeedyLizzard14]

Try to improve the graphics a bit. Otherwise, cool.

[Legenden0]

Impressive:)

[Thevesown15]

Uh... really good fan game much?

[pmd2lolz]

download link? sorry for being a n00b, but that looks really fun, and i feel a need to explore that level!

[RayguardKnight]

Man, he gave a download link on his other video. Unfortunately YouTube won't let me post the URL for some strange reason, so you'll have to read the description on his other video. I have NOT tried it so I CANNOT guarantee that it works or that it's virus-free, sorry.

[A5R2M]

i have some suggetions put them if you like them

1. try to put cheat codes in it (i know it looks stupid but it would be fun)

2. if possible, try to put the lightdash feature which can be activated with a push of a button.

hope you liked them, (remember i am not recomending nor forcing do it as you like)

[thesonicboom7]

This looks like it has a lot of awesome potential. Kudos on the Sonic model as well. It looks really good.

[SonicTheWhereHedge]

hmm not good but not bad ... so how should i put it ? .... its good for starters i mean man :)) i whanna learn to make games so il give yah a 10+ ;) but you still have to work on it ... i mean man SADX is way better ;) good work !!!

[fugdkn]

when is game gonna be finished?

[AngleChaos]

I like it. <:D

[SaruNinja]

The way Sega is going right now, they'd probably take this game in its beta stage and release it as "Sonic Extreme Adventure" or something.

Anyways, I'd say this is pretty awesome for a beta of a fan game made from scratch. I'm curious to see what the finished product will look like.

great job so far.

[Directorman909]

What did you use to make this? it's awesome.

[DeltaSpeeds]

I used Blender Game Engine to make this. However, I am writing a second version of the game with a new C++ game engine built from scratch.

[spiderbyte1337]

oh REALLY!!!! What libraries are you using

[DeltaSpeeds]

I idea of building my own game engine is so that I don't need to use other libraries. However, I do use a few standard libraries that come with the PSDK package like:

stdio.h, opengl.h, glut.h, math.h, string, iostream, conio.h, and fstream.

[shadic2389]

can i have it

[DeltaSpeeds]

This is a "fan game" and it is 100% free. Also, all the models, textures, and programming have been created from scratch.

I'm not really sure what you meant by "ripoff"...

[edgezors]

ignore him he's just a 14 year old probably. most don't understand anything about the world or the internet.

[DJKuromi]

idiot! this is FAN BASED, so therefore it's not a rip off. by saying this, it's like you're basically saying that all forms of sonic art (drawn, animated, etc.) are ALL ripoffs!

try putting your foot where your mouth is before opening it next time.

[DeltaSpeeds]

Ok, no name calling here. He has the idea. Case closed.

[Kazter11]

where can i get this or somethin cuz im a beta tester and i use a geforce 7300 and recording for me is pretty fast i can even record left 4 dead anyway yea.

[Ehal256]

100FPS! :D

[Spikeman750]

This looks pretty cool for a beta.

[ultrasonic22]

its not like the anothers games of sega.those got better graphips but its good.maybe one day.you will do better XD

[avladmn]

Read title.

Think

Beta.

Beta means incomplete.

When your thought process is complete you should be able to actually realize that beta means it's a test - graphics are probably not final. Tada. :)

[ultrasonic22]

im owned LOL

[w2rockstar]

Lots of people have asked this so I'm wondering (Because you said before november) are there still things to be done, the game looks good but are there more bugs? If not, where can you download this?

[DeltaSpeeds]

There was a demo out during SAGE 2008, but after uploader polorix (the web host) went down, I didn't bother to upload the game again due to minor problems.

I'm still working on it, but this stuff does take time.

[w2rockstar]

Thanks for replying, its good to see that this isnt dead!

[gamers15]

What ive been asking everyone,is how i make these games... i have flash,which is a complicated actionscript gamemaker and moviemaker... but i want to step it up for now and make a 3D sonic game... yet,i dont know how! could you tell me the engine you use to make this game...

[shealio2]

can you even get this game?

[DeltaSpeeds]

Yes. You could have gotten an demo during SAGE 2008. However, the current build has been taken down. I'm trying to fix up a few things and then a new version, but I'm finding it difficult to get extra time to work on anything. =/

I'm working hard to get something up after or before Christmas.

[sonicrocs]

THANK GOD! i thought you were one of those people who gave up for no apparent reason. whew! thats a relief. cant wait for the site!

[whiteguysamurai]

Even though your engine might need some polish, i think you might have actually realized what a real sonic level looks like in 3d.

I think centering green hill zone in a valley is a great way to keep the player from wandering, and a clear goal. to get out of the valley in time, through winding tunnels and floating platforms.

Please don't be afraid to explore the classic sonic the hedgehog style, of bright colors and wacky animated scenery.

[Ratboy2k80]

great sonic game and i love this remix of his world where did u get it from

[DeltaSpeeds]

hggh8 created the remix.

[2xy3]

So that's who made it. I found it on some site, but it was marked "Uncredited".

[Klaymator14]

How do you get a copy of this? Is it a download?

[DeltaSpeeds]

The download for the game will be down for awhile. I'm fixing a few bugs and tweaking a few more things before I'll upload it again (before November).

[AirAKose]

Noice ^^ Did you model the characters or strip them from another sonic game ;)

Just wondering, they look great! :)

[DeltaSpeeds]

All the models (including the character models) were made from scratch.

There alright, but the models still need a lot of work.

[bazskohedgehog]

how to play kingdom vally?

[DeltaSpeeds]

Kingdom Valley hasn't been released yet.

[Shonbi]

You should make the knockback for the homing attack make you go up only a little... And the gravity seems to be a little light. o_0

[10samm10]

The game plays very nicely but the camera needs some work.

[bkgsta05]

the error I get is that it says it can't find some bhllp or something like that

[DeltaSpeeds]

There is one problem with the current build. I has something to do with the settings on the Windows computer. I'm fixing the problem, and I'll upload a patched exe in a few days.

[bkgsta05]

i cant get the game to work on my computer and it's windows vista

Does it work with vista?

[DeltaSpeeds]

It "should" run on vista. What kind of error do you get?

[DeltaSpeeds]

I found a problem in the latest build. For some reason, certain computers can't run it correctly due to an error in line 1619. I will patch it an upload a new build in a few hours.

[DeltaSpeeds]

If a few people won't mind recording the game and uploading a some videos to youtube, I would be grateful.

[goofydude223]

i can try to do some but what freeware recording program to think i should use to get the most out of it

[DeltaSpeeds]

Fraps is good. CamStudio works too if your having problems with fraps.

[goofydude223]

i already got something good its usually not free but i got it free

[HedgehogGamers]

ill upload a vid soon

[DeltaSpeeds]

cool. =)

[goofydude223]

hey some one told me when they tried to download the demo of the game they were asked for a user name and a password could you put the demo on a diffrent sight so i could help him

[cyborg4r]

too bad it doesn't work foe me

[DeltaSpeeds]

Yea, but I'm working on a linux build. It might not be here for SAGE, but you can expect one in the future.

[bkgsta05]

where can i download the demo

[DeltaSpeeds]

type in "sonic SAGE" in a google search. It will bring you to "SAGE 2008". Go through the booths until you find a booth called "Sonic Point of Action".

[HedgehogGamers]

when i try to start your sage demo of this game an error says the ordinal 43 could not be found in the dynamic link library

[DeltaSpeeds]

Did the error say something about zlib? If so, there might be a problem with the zlib.dll. If one exist in your C://Windows//system32 rename that dll to something like "zlib2.dll". If you don't what to do that though, I'm uploading a new build this afternoon that uses blender 2.46. That should fix the problem.

[HedgehogGamers]

thanx, also the demo is kickass

[DeltaSpeeds]

New build has just been uploaded a few hours ago. It has a few bug fixes.

[sonicfan803]

so far so good!

[granvillimus]

Will this be at SAGE this year?

[DeltaSpeeds]

Yes. But this year, it will be under the name "Sonic Point of Action". The demo is also on schedule.

[granvillimus]

Cool! I look forward to it. Good job and thanks!

[ProneSteewdeeos]

What video recorder are you using?

[bkgsta05]

did you make those 3d sprites?

[DeltaSpeeds]

What?... I think you mean "3D models" (not sprites).

And yes, all of them have been made from scratch.

[Sonicwizrd]

very sonicy :3

[kirbyace]

his world instrumental remix?i can hear a very faint voice...

[heloogangtas]

I downloaded this song already which is cool

[sonypsp05]

nice work on the game.

i like it.

[vectorfan1]

Great job!

:D

[Runescapefreak221]

Finally a good fangame.

[ShadicPT]

Sonic GL is better MWAHAHAHA!!! XP

[yvaaar]

but sonic gl is not bigger did i hear

[goofydude223]

but wich one can you play right now

[DeltaSpeeds]

A new demo build was uploaded a few hours ago.  The latest one should be on the site (the SAGE booth). Unfortunately, there is only a Windows build right now.

[goofydude223]

cool its a good thing i have windows

[cyborg4r]

your game is ideed cool, but....

please, please PLEASE, get a better computer for the next video, this one is like a bunch of slideshows and i'm sure that it doesnt capture all the coolness of your game

[DeltaSpeeds]

Unfortunately, I can't do that. However, the newer engine runs faster and I'm having someone else record the video. =P

[DeltaSpeeds]

Yay! 25,000 views!

Anyways, I'll say this again... the Demo will be released August 17 at SAGE 2008.

I'll also put up a new video in a few days. =)

[pieisnice]

Isnt that what you said last yeah ¬.¬

[sonicfan388]

I downloaded a sonic action archive file and I put all the files in it in a folder the archive is called sonic action beta 003 linux and I can't figure out how to run it.:(

[DeltaSpeeds]

Sonic Action has not been released yet. If you have a Sonic Action file, it is not "this" game.

I remember that there was a 2D Sonic Game named "Sonic Action" that was based off SRB2. But that game has no connections with this game. Sorry.

[sonicfan388]

Ok but can you still tell me how to use it?

[DeltaSpeeds]

I'm not really sure (because I've never played it) but I know for a fact that you need Linux. It will only run on Linux OS (not Windows). I tried to get it to work on Linux Ubuntu but I'm missing the liballeg.so.4.0 lib.

[yvaaar]

the sonic gl site is updated XD

[DeltaSpeeds]

Thanks for the info. =)

[Addicted2gaming]

looks cool maybe try putting some more darker textures the whole game looked really cartoon-y...that aside keep up the great work

[infernapedude]

oh sorry, also models need some work, including sonec, whose shading rather reminded me of sa2. Anyways since this is beta I didn't lower the scoring much for that.

[CrashtheHedgehog]

I don't know, both look good, this and GL, but this seems to have more in it, GL just looked like running, I've actually seen enemies in this one.

[Addicted2gaming]

theres enemies in GL go watch the video again

[GadgicTheHedgehog]

Wow. Still not Sonic GL, but awesome still.

[DeltaSpeeds]

I've been rather busy these last few months, so please I don't be offended if some of my replied are late.

Since May 28, most of the development has picked back up and the demo well on it's way. I'm also hoping to get a new video out before July.

And if haven't already heard, the new SAGE 2008 promo site has been put up. You can find it by googling "sagexpo". The Sonic Action Demo is planned to be released midnight on the third day of SAGE (August 17th).

[YungmunyBDR]

aye bruh...

i suport u dat game luks a lil ugly n anoyin lyk...

y is dat a ud thing ...?

well cuz i knw iss da beginin n u still workin so itll be da shyt wen it cumz out lol

[miyvrey2]

what is in the demo? like, how much stages, witch attacks, or something else? JEEEJ DEMO ON 17AUGUST

[CaosTheHedgehog]

what this game? i don't know that.

[Riolu28]

if you listend its his world and their test running the game sonic riavals

[DeltaSpeeds]

The music is a remix of "his world", but the game is a fan game - "Sonic Action".

[PowerOfChaoscontrol]

Soo,how ready are the basic physics and engine?In percents?

[DeltaSpeeds]

That is difficult to say... the engine (and physics) are always changing and new features are always being implanted... I don't really have a solid answer but I'd have to say the engine is anywhere between 30% - 40% finished.

[yvaaar]

i hope its change a lot after 10 months

[PHchaos]

The game is cool, but the graphics need to be better...

[slashzaku15]

smoother animation too sonic seems really stiff in this

[DeltaSpeeds]

Yea, the newer version has better graphics. Improved Textures, Model modifications, shadows, reflections... just to name a few.

[Bagjac]

this game in my eyes is still very cool,most impressive.i've been to the blender dev site for progress reports but had no luck. even in this state it dosn't disappoint and hope to see a vid of its new physics and graphics.

[DeltaSpeeds]

So, you went to the Blender Artist Forums...

Well, I don't think that you would be able to find anything there because I never (directly) released any info to the forums. Most of the people on the forums probably don't even know SA exist.

Anyways, thanks for the support. =)

[Bagjac]

no wonder why. ba-hum-bug anyway i wish the very best for this.

[jeztac33]

Can I hae the latest beta now? =D

[jeztac33]

also, I really need to get around to recording a vid for you =P

[yvaaar]

yeah i'l subscribe

[yvaaar]

you're on sage right? (hope with demo XD) i got good news and bad news. good is that sonic gl is recontinued. bad news is that he is on sage to. sonic gl is unbeatable |0

[vectorfan1]

Cool game, but I have a Question,

What program you use¿¿¿¿¿

[kapanak]

He used "Blender"

[Bagjac]

not to bad, been watchin this fangame for sometime.

when can we expect the next update?

[DraykonVokelda]

Just to randomly ask, do you have any intentions of having a booth at SAGE08? I'm quite curious to see just where this has gotten.

Also, lol @ ButtRacing to break boxes.

[solarsonic928]

i liked da music!

[rerunrehak]

me 2 its his world

[Akago]

This is looking very nice so far. Taking in account that this is beta, and early beta is mainly about basic gameplay funtion ( seemingly what Sega's been skipping), and not about pretty colors, this looks like it will be a real home run once it gets further along.

[OrcishSlacker]

Obviously needs alot of polish, but you got one thing right that Sonic Team cant: you made a stright-up Sonic action game.

[s1s2s3bye]

the spikes look bad but nice music remix

[miyvrey2]

what can you do with sonic right now? (like spindash, ringdash, know I it..) will you tell it please?

[doodooday]

how do you download

[shibbbie]

this thing is epic, anywhere that we can download a demo or something? that would be nice. great game =D

[ElboTheHedgehog]

the only decent sonic fan game i heard is SRB2

and sonic engine.

well this is a decent sonic fan game lol.

[Zerobadniks]

Can you give me some tips on how to do this sort of thing it would help me alot if you gave some form of info :)

[MaiL0MaN5]

I had an idea for a fan game but no clue how to make it. When you finnish this, Can you develope one level for me? Just to see how it turns out

[Apple0192]

wow...congrats you just pwned Sonic Team.

[mailmanbam]

is there a website? and are you gonna put in a chao garden?

[ShadowX6306]

No one likes Chao Gardens anymore...

[mailmanbam]

iv neva played the following "chao gardens"

[vectorfan1]

cool this look awesome

[theman19327]

if this is cancelled, i will post my rage right here

thank you

bye

[DeltaSpeeds]

The game is far from being canceled, I just haven't been keeping everyone up-to-dated. XP

I might wait a little longer before releasing another video. And when I do, I'll probably have jeztac make a new video for me. He can accurately record the game at it's proper frame rate. As you can see, my computer isn't that good.

[theman19327]

thanks for giving me hope

[DraykonVokelda]

So leik, this struck me as interesting awhile back, and I haven't heard anything since SAGE07. Please don't tell me this is one of the 95% of fangames that are shut down due to a lack of interest.

[DeltaSpeeds]

Just the opposite. There has been a great deal of progress on the game.

[amoxisilina]

download the game?!!!?!!?!!?!!?!?! please!!!¿?!

[BenJAMIN777FoSho]

Which version of His World is this song? Info and everything.

[windlessbasher]

just type in His World Remix,you'll find it,I did(I mean on YouTube)

[superkickass231]

umm.. why does it look like a lit bit like sonic the hedgrhog(2006)

[darsonic]

well...it's kinda weird..

but i couldn't make it better! :D

[Sabbin23]

will it be for sale or free?

[DeltaSpeeds]

100% Free

[yvaaar]

when comes the new vid. i wait for months

[DeltaSpeeds]

One of the reasons I haven't released a new video is that nearly 70% of the recent development of the game is in programming... and it's hard to make a video based on programming/bug fixes.

[MarioSonic3]

You must just make more texture editing and edit character's moves. And HUD's most be more like from Sonic games.
