Sonic CD 2 BETA (Fangame)

[CJH3D]

Is the second dimension supposed to be the bad future?

[Oscy]

Evil! It has American music! This is no Sonic CD... no Sonic CD at all!

[RedLink27]

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE CANCLED "Sonic 2 CD"

[DJYuzoboy]

i like the effort here thats for sure. Cant be hard to get something made in Game maker.

[adonis4441]

Sonic Genesis Engine

[Kirby12373]

Also, gotta idea. U could have Metal Sonic reappear, and if your in another dimension, it could be Metal Sonic 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2.

[Fanfilmmaker97]

Did you go this on gamemaker? if so does it cost money to use the site?

[Kirby12373]

Please make an iPod touch version if you can!! I would LOVE to play this! Please hurry!!

[Pokepimp30875]

@ClassicTeam Music MP3 PLEASE!

[SonicSuperDash]

Nice remix (From Sonic blast game gear i guess) can you give us the mp3? or what's the remix name in youtube?

[opiates]

I like. This game definitely has potential.

[ClassicTeam]

@jetsonic7 I would love to help, but you're not making a lot of sense here. You want to make a Fangame but don't have enough time? If you want to actually DO something like this, you're gonna need time & patience. Because otherwise you'll never get anywhere.

I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just stating the facts! I've been making games for YEARS and I still struggle at times. In the mean time, go download the Sonic Dash engine and study it. It pretty much has what this does (& more I think :P )

[vgamemaster4]

are you going to add the sonic peal out ???

[vgamemaster4]

0_0 cool

[jerrywalmer]

this game has alot of potenshal it will be awesome when its done

[TwilightLink77]

Why not use the Sonic advance sprites for a Sonic CD remake?

[IsaacNorman]

You made this in game maker I take it.

[ClassicTeam]

@IsaacNorman Indeed. I'm actually still using Game Maker 6. (A friend of mine does a dirty port to GM7 for vista/7 users)

Honestly, Even with the game being reworked, I'm not sure it's ever going to meet the quality I want in it, so it's release is still up in the air.

[IsaacNorman]

@ClassicTeam I know what you mean. Same with the game I'm working on, I feel somewhat the same about it.

[SBluvr99]

What site will it be released on when it is slowly but surely finished? just curious?

[ClassicTeam]

@SBluvr99 I'll make sure you guys know when it's released, but you can always check my website, classicteam(.)110mb(.)com , (without the parenthesizes of course) for updates. I promise it will be the first place you'll find a demo when it's released. :)

[SBluvr99]

@ClassicTeam Thanx! Sonic CD is the best Sonic game ever!!!! :)

[SBluvr99]

So, instead of the future and past, u goe into different dimmensions? how is that gonna work for the game exactly?

[ClassicTeam]

@SBluvr99 That's a secret ;)

But ya, this game is getting completely reworked. It's still in it's early stages, but when it's ready I'll release it to the public. :)

[tenkashi1992]

looks sexy!

[TheOCAShow]

What engine is this based on?

[ClassicTeam]

@TheOCAShow I'm using a modified version of Damizian's Sonic Engine.

[DoomGuy131]

When will this game be released?

[ClassicTeam]

@DoomGuy131 It is still slowly but surely being worked on. I'm currently focusing on the visual aspects of the stages. When that's done, I've got Badniks and gimmicks to implement, so it's still got a bit of work left. Should be out sometime this summer, though. :)

[DoomGuy131]

@ClassicTeam  Ok thanks.

[MazuriTH]

Are you using a Dash Engine or something? And, also, where you find that Sonic Blast remix?

[ClassicTeam]

@MazuriTH I'm using a modified version of Damizian's Sonic Engine. The remix that's in the video came from one of the songs from the Dwelling Of Duels' Sonic Month. :)

[RobotnikVoiceFan]

Sonic Blast music?

[ClassicTeam]

@RobotnikVoiceFan Ya, remixed Sonic Blast music. but the next demo I show off won't have it any more. (I'm currently working on doing some original pieces.)

[323Cooldude]

good, good... except the music... i mean dont get me wrong, thats some awsome guitar but ehh... it doesnt really fit in my books... but ur game ur rules so go ahead and do what u want...

[smbmadman1]

this is made with Game Maker right? if so, im guessing its gonna use the "if CD is playing" thing, right?

[ClassicTeam]

@smbmadman1 Probubbly not. The problem is, although this technically won't be on a CD, it still is based on the story in Sonic CD. So, what do I call it? :S

Work has started up on the project again, and trust me when I say it won't be nearly as linear as the level in this video is.

[marz183]

great work, always good to see Sonic in 2d!

[DBoy2029]

If and when this fangame is done, will it still do that time warp thing that the original Sonic CD does?

[ClassicTeam]

@DBoy2029 The story is based around the Time Stones, but instead of warping through Time it warps you through Space (Dimension). So, In a sense, yes, as things that happen in ether dimension that will effect the opposite. Unfortunately this has been put on hold because I'm in the middle of learning Java.

[PenguinCinema]

@ClassicTeam Should it be the Space Stones? Or Spatial Stones? But, if you put "Spacial", the corresponding part of speech would be "Temporal Stones", and therefore... Blahr. Palette change.

[TheStolken]

Looks really boring

[rbkt2]

It´s cool but when you change "dimendion" the level should be a litle diferent not the same whit diferent background.

[ClassicTeam]

@rbkt2 Actually, it is. There's at least 2 portions on the stage (that I can think of without even viewing the video) that I changed how the stage played.

Just went over the video, here's the 2 portions:

See 0:20 and 1:25 for difference 1

See 0:33 and 2:14 for difference 2

Also, the music's tempo gets slower and darker. And all the ground tiles have changed to a brown color. So not just the background changes. :P

[kprime284]

looks great n.n

[Fixkal]

This doesn't look like sonic cd. At all. The gameplay in your fan game is excessively speed oriented and so is the level design. The original Sonic cd put more emphasis on platforming.

[ClassicTeam]

I know. This was an engine test, something I shouldint have uploaded but did anyhow. I'm sorry it was such a dissapointment. :P

[AGwolf2097]

Where did you get the remix of the Sonic Blast music?

[Hadriex]

I like the fact that you hid the sign behind some of the scenary! My advice is to study the Sonic Level design. In my opinion, a Sonic Game with bad level design won't be very fun.

[ClassicTeam]

i would have said the exactly same thing. Thankfully I created this stage only for this demonstration video. :P

[legendofzeldas]

hey i got some great ideas for your game give me the story i can make an awesome one i got great gimmics

pwease gimme a chance!

: )

~legendofzeldas~

[SimplerThoughts]

I'm loving this!

I feel like this is a mix between (primarily) Sonic CD and Sonic 3 (with the computer power-up).

Are you going to release your version when you finish tweaking it? I'm so eager to try it out! :D

[ClassicTeam]

@SimplerThoughts I'm glad your liking it!  It's been on hold for some time now, but come February and I think development will start again. ;) BTW, New sneak peak in the description!

[gunboss201]

fantastic

[SpiralPegasus]

Looking quite good so far!

My grain of sand: It took about nothing in the original to travel through times so it should take less time to travel in your fangame.

Second, if it's going to be good and bad dimensions, who is going to go ever in the bad ones?

I think you should stick to the original in that sense or change it quite a bit in order to fit the dimension thingy.

Good luck either way!

[ClassicTeam]

@SpiralPegasus You go into the bad one to save the good one. Thanks. :)

[JohnETurnbullGamer]

Question: How far along are you on this game?

And, will there be the "Super Peel Out" move in the final?

Other than that, good job. I couldn't do better myself, lol.

[ClassicTeam]

I was reworking the graphics last time I worked on this...

And yes, Super Peel Out is definitely going to be added to the release.

Thanks. :)

[nukeallthatfluke]

nice vertical loop @ 0:56

[nonobaOMGWEEGEE2]

Not bad. Just make sure that sonic's infront of everything because it looked like that the first 3 rings disappeared.

[ClassicTeam]

Well, sometimes he was suppose to be behind objects to add more depth. But ya, some things really need work... and I'll be sure to work on them. :)

[C861986]

i didnt like cd much apart from the running animation with the figure of 8 and his hands out to the side

[11tobiobito]

More rings....More powerups..would mak this good. Whats the song?

[ClassicTeam]

Song is a remix found on Dwelling Of Duels under Sonic Month, it's a remix of (I think) Sonic Blast Zone 1 or something. :P

More Rings and powerups are in the works...

[11tobiobito]

I couldnt find the song!!!!!

[LavaWave666]

Game game designing program are you using :D and do you have a tutorial on how to implement time travel/room/stage tiles changer or something to appear on that spot when you travel trough time/rooms?

Sonic CD is my favo Sonic game of all time, glad to see this.

[ClassicTeam]

I'm using Game Maker. :)

No tuteral yet, but I may make one in the future. ;)

Just wait until I release a new gameplay video... :D

[LavaWave666]

Oh cool, you're using an engine downloaded off the internet or you written it? btw which version of GM are you using? GM6 or 7? I have GM7 installed.

[ClassicTeam]

I wrote some of it, but the base engine was downloaded. I use GM6 because I don't like GM7.. why, I can't explain. Maybe because I'm just not used to the new layout or something. :P

[masterofringo]

Wow, fangames are really snazzy these days. I remember when half of them were godawful CNC / TGF creations with nonexistent physics. This rocks, can't wait for the demo!

[n00neimp0rtant]

That is one SLICK Sonic engine. May I offer a few suggestions?

-Sonic just plain looks bad with a black outline. I said the something about a Sonic 1 sprite hack with Pikachu, sprites aren't meant to be outlined black.

-I'm not feeling like we're playing as Sonic here, in that the gameplay feels slow. I mean, it definitely feels like a platformer, just not a SONIC platformer. More speed-boosting gadgets, loops, and faster acceleration could remedy this.

-The amount of art is lacking.

[ClassicTeam]

I actually sort of liked the Back outline. I feel it makes it feel more like a cartoon, but it really won't matter sense all of the art is getting re-haled to hand-drawn. :)

Really? Sonic's acceleration is EXTREMELY fast! You might not be able to see it because I'm stopping too much. Loops are a must, but I'm going to use as little speed boost's as possible. They aren't what Sonic was about in the day.. XD

See first comment!

[uppermanxx]

were can i donwload it???

[ClassicTeam]

You can't.

I just announced a re-launch of the game! Sonic CD 2: A Negative Space will feature all hand-drawn graphics! Please wait while I prepare the game for the public....

[eidairman1]

Nice little game for a 8bit system or even pocket system

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks for the complement (I guess...). You must understand, however, that this game is not for any Pocket system or 8-bit system, it's for Windows.

Although, if your saying it would be a good game for a pocket system or something, well, I see where your coming from. ;)

[nandobyker]

thanks god the beta got fixed

it sucks

[ClassicTeam]

Umm... I'm assuming your talking about the Sonic CD Beta? If so, This isin't the Sonic CD Beta hacked, this is a fan made game in Game Maker.

If you are talking about this, well than... Sorry, I donno what to tell you.

[blankiturayman]

great remix of the first zone of sonic blast gg!!!

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks, although I didn't create it. I found it on a website called Dwelling Of Duels. Be sure to support them. :)

[andy120195]

And how to warp to the past???

[ClassicTeam]

Uhh, what? Just like in Sonic CD.

[andy120195]

Wasn't that the bad future?

[sonicrulz101]

why does it tell you how many frames per second?

[ClassicTeam]

It was in debug mode... A Very basic one at that.

[JordanMaster22]

This should be quite a project. In the original Sonic CD, you can time travel.  In the present it would look neutral, and in the future it would look bad. In the past, it would look clean, if you destroy 2 Mecha Sonic hologram machines, then the present and future would be bright. This would apply to all levels.

[ClassicTeam]

Yes, I understand that.

This one, however, is a bit different. You travel in between different dimensions And complete the game by finding machines in the Alternate Dimension (and you'll still need Time Stones..)

[JordanMaster22]

Okay, but just to let you know, you shouldn't say dimensions. You should say universes. Dimensions are areas something is bound to move in. For example, we are in the third dimension. Although you have to travel in an out of boundary dimension to get to another universe. Hmm...

[ClassicTeam]

You don't understand.... I could use Universes, but it doesn't make as much sense to the story as Dimensions does.

[NE0MEW]

what did the time stones ever do?

[n00neimp0rtant]

If you got them all, you didn't have to destroy Robonik's Generator things to see the good ending.

[SonicFreak4]

Huh, since the SEGA CD/PC version of Sonic CD (NTSC) used different music why not use the JP/Mega Drive version of the music?

[ClassicTeam]

I'm try to make this as original as possible... Using old music would be anti-sequel. XD

[SonicFreak4]

lol, ok.  I just got so used to it after trying to get Sonic CD for my emulator, I mistakingly came across the MD version and the music was great.

[Somcothehedgehog01]

This song's a rock remix of Sonic Blast on the Game Gear.

[ClassicTeam]

I'm glad that you noticed! And for that, I give you a cookie. :)

[raveakidd]

nuffin on the original Sonic CD but awesome fan game in any case!!

[LHTheHedgehog]

This is awesome. Please, don't give up.

5/5

[charliefunk83]

got alot of potential there mate!! nice

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks. :)

[thesnake383]

What is this being developed in?

[ClassicTeam]

Game Maker 6.1

[knastbube]

Is that a Sega CD game?

When ya, then can i´ll burn it and play on my sega cd :D

Good luck for that projekt

[ClassicTeam]

Well, actually.... no, it's not. I wish. XD

That's why as of right now it's getting a cosmetic makeover. It will be much more visually appealing than. :)

[IamTheS]

I'm really liking this. It looks pretty professional (professional work-in progress, anyway), and really captures the spirit of the original Sonic CD. May I make a few suggestions, though?

-Have the player stay in the same area when traveling to another dimension, ala SCD 1, rather than teleport back to the beginning.

-Really give the alternate dimension its own identity. Different enemies, a few more layout changes, heck, even change items, like that electric shield in the beginning to fire.

[ClassicTeam]

-The actual teleportation code wasn't done yet when this video was created. It is now, and he does teleport like he does in the original Sonic CD.

- The layouts are gonna change. This level was, for the most part, a demonstration stage. In fact the entire game will get a facelift from these ripped Sonic Advance sprites if I can create some of my own or if someone else is willing to do it.

Oh and linear paths will be a no-go anymore, I'll have more branching paths in the demo.

Thanks. :)

[IamTheS]

Good to know!

[DjEmpyre]

LOL Sonic Blast music. Am I the only one who thinks that game is the shit? Despite the fact it had poor controls, I loved that game.

Anyway, the game is lookin pretty good right now. Keep it up.

[ClassicTeam]

Glad you like the music selection.

More on the games progress coming soon enough... ;)

[Mystere1985]

Looking good for a fan game in my opinion. Nice job.

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks. :)

[THESWP2008]

Not liking where this is going, but it's too early to tell.

[ClassicTeam]

could you please be more constuctive than that? What's wrong with where this is going? It's most certainly a better fan game than my others.

[boof17]

i made a game called sonic neo adventures part 1 and i used the games factory 1.06

[ClassicTeam]

Sounds interesting; I'd like to know a little more about it, but please continue this conversation though Personal Messages, so this doesint look like an advertizement. Thanks, can't wait to hear from you. :)

[LHTheHedgehog]

Nice going. Continue this ;D

[ClassicTeam]

I am. :)

[cynderlightlife]

I only played a little bit of Sonic CD and I ought to pull out the PS2 and have another go but, seriously, even with all the glitches you've got here your making a way better game then all the absolute crap SEGA has been crappin' out for Sonic. I wish they would listen to us and bring things like this back. :\

[ClassicTeam]

Maybe, one day, they will... Never know. ;)

[cynderlightlife]

Highly doubt it. They don't seem to like listening to old school fans. :\

[ClassicTeam]

Hey, you can always hope.

[Nit3H8wk]

Sonic CD was great. At one point i had a cd, genesis and 32x. I do have a dreamcast though sonic adventure 1 and 2 were great. The sonic games just went down hill after sega stopped making their own consoles :(. I guess if sega actually listened to it's fan's they would still be making consoles.

[DanielGames1]

The music is a remix of the first zone of Sonic Blast

[ToushiroHikaru]

I Think This Game Will Be Promising And Nice Sonic Blast Green Hill Remixes! Where Did You Get Them?

[SonicH3ro]

does this have to run on anything classic?

cause this is even better than the things SEGA are coming up with!

1,000,000 thumbs up!

[ClassicTeam]

No, it runs on Windows. But I'm glad you like it. :)

[FoxGTR34Nismo]

Where can I get the kick ass Sonic Blast Remixes? These friggin rule!

[ClassicTeam]

I got the song from... I think it was Battle Of the Bands, a group of remixers that fight for first place in rankings. It was the third track, Blast Blur... I think. XP

[BlueEmeraldX]

I tried looking it up, and I can't find it. Can you provide a link?

[BlueEmeraldX]

To the music.

[ClassicTeam]

Oh, sorry. I forgot the name until now. It was a groop called Dwelling of Duels. *looks it up*

Ah, here we are!

dod (.) vgmix (.) com (/) past (/) nov08 (/)

just remove the ) and (, and put it all togeather, it's the third track, but it's only the first portion (of the track that is featured in the game). Enjoy!

[DarkHeroZX]

lol the enemies are Dustox from pokemon

[ClassicTeam]

No, they are actual enemies from Sonic CD. XP

[chargers21dbz]

Even with the glitches, this is better than the new crap they got for Sonic. I miss the old games.

[ClassicTeam]

I hear you bud. That's what fan games are for! (Well, that, and emulation. XD)

As soon as I get a working computer I'll fix the minor glitches. :)

[luisboy10]

almost as the original :D

[ClassicTeam]

I hope it's that good. XD

[IMMAHEDGEHOG]

Looks awesome. I see layer problems, but it's forgivable since it is in the beta stages.

[ClassicTeam]

I know, theres lots of little layer problems that I'll end up going back and fixing.

[zazzoa]

really good mate!

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks. :D

[SonicTHedgehogDX]

Give it some more work ,

i know its beta =) i will be following ur work

[ClassicTeam]

Thanks. :)

Ya, At first this was simply a demonstration of the new engine, but than I realized this was the perfect time to start over and make it better. So here's about 3 weeks worth of making something new. :)
