Sonic Generations PC Unleashed Project - Rooftop Run

Enable annotations for explanations. Using Generations Renderer, some news on the Unleashed renderer might come soon.

By far the stage that took ironically the most time to do, Rooftop Run is vast in detail and length. Some technical changes had to be done to the layout due to different limitations, but it's still pretty true to the original in most aspects.

The tone of the stage has been tuned, more festive elements from Generations' remake are in as well. What's left to be done for it is:
- Make prettier particle effects for the objects(will have to wait until particle emitters are cracked)
-Minor retexturing(the diffuse aren't bad, it's the normal maps the most blatantly bad ones, and we might use some of the ones from Gens).
-Minor layout tweaks and polishing. Also fixing bugs.

And yes, we know the bugs, we also have eyes. You don't need to point it out. :P

While one of the most linear stages, Rooftop Run is still one of the most exhilarating and fun of them, with such a great pacing that you won't even notice it almost takes you 4-5 minutes to beat it!

Oh yeah, 60 FPS video.

No more demos, no release dates. We'll keep working on the remaining 4 stages.

I'm curious, how do the maps look and play when directly ported over? I mean, without all the editing to make them user playable.

[samothethief]

Well, you can't really get past the first fountain like that.

[TechnoAndeh]

Are the majority of the textures and effects already included in Generations then? Or when running the direct port of the map, do some not load?

Great job on the Project by the way. :D

[samothethief]

Only the geometry mostly and a couple of objects. But yeah, we spent several weeks on each stage's layout to bring it to a presentable stage (if you look at my progress videos, you'll see each took pretty much a month), and almost a month of dedicated beta-testing / bug hunting for all eight.

If you're interested in the technical details, wait for the technical posts on the ModDB page.

Sonic Unleashed was such a good game, taking the were-hog out of consideration

[bocodamondo]

[2xucan]

Sonic Unleashed still has the best story in any Sonic game especially with those CGI shorts and the Night of the Werehog.

[NovaBombsPatlen]

Quick question. Wren't you doing something for classic sonic ad the night stages or did you scrap it?

[F. Derpy Hooves]
