>all those not-sonic games

>16-bit triple trouble
Looks amazing. Chaotix Mania could be a good project too.
>Brazsonic
lmao I wish all monkeys die of corona.

>"it will be out in 2019 guys I promise"
>8 months into 2020, silence
>no progress since the demo
Lange is a hack that made a demo and empty promises just for industry clout. He never intended to actually release a game. Utopia is dead. But in its place, a Hero rises.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather these autists just make an original IP and make a few games and a few bucks.
I'm happy that Spark 1&2 as well as FP 1&2 exist as standalone things rather than fangames

That's all fantastic after they make the game they promised to first.

please play my game

There's nothing saying he didn't want to finish it, but I'm certain all the hateposts about his vision being classic instead of modern is why it died. Once you start doubting how you want your game to be, you lose interest in it. It's happening right now with Project Hero too. I hope Hero keeps going with his shit and don't let shitposters ruin his project but it's likely doomed the same way

That's why I just think if you're going to make a game, just don't post shit until it's basically finished, and all you're asking for is quality testing with demo releases. That why you'll stay focus with your vision, you're just polishing it until it's completed. Basically everyone just jump the gun and shill their work the second they get the physics down and get hyped up from people, then drop it when everyone complains about x over y or when they realize their scope for their game was too big to handle.

>Spyware
Lol no.

yeah

>hateposts about his vision being classic instead of modern is why it died
Would he really be dumb enough to listen to them? He demonstrated intimate knowledge of classic Sonic's design philosophies and aesthetics, he claimed to be dedicated to depicting classic Sonic's designs and style accurately and creatively, which still hasn't been done in 3D. It's far more likely that he was a fan of classic Sonic, he knew a lot of other people were too, so he was a natural at using that as a means of gaining clout witout having to do too much work. He just found a croud to string along and used his knowledge of the subject to convince them he was legit.

>Would he really be dumb enough to listen to them?
He originally made Utopia in the mindset it was suppose to be a "better" or "real" SA1 attempt instead of the actual SA1. Adventurefags seethed massively over this and basically forced him all the connections between what he was doing and what Adventure did, and even though the best thing you could say Utopia was was Sonic's SA1 gameplay but polished, there's still many nuisances that differentiate between the two, like no spamming spindash, better physics, and more open level design, both to a fault and a blessing for Utopia over SA1.

But over time he basicalyl started appriating SA1 more and started to side with them, so I believe after he did that he started seeing less of a reason to make the game I think. The last thing he ever posted of his game was some more unsee footage at the time of things he was doing for the game, which a beta level that basicically looked like a traditional Sonic Team level, where it takes place in the sky and it's basically just a corridor instead of wide open space from the first demo. It basically looks to me he lost his vision just because fanboys couldn't cope with a fan game being a FAN'S game. This is now happening to Project Hero because he wanted to change it into a classic/OVA styled game visually.

If true, tragic. The dude should just disregard Adventurecancer and make the game he wants to make.

I do think with that and the fact he's also working with Wayforward now, it's definately in devolopment hell unfortunately. That's why I hope Hero can step in for that niche even if I was ok with his project before the change as well. If his revisioned project still plays as well as his previous take just with the classic artstyle , it should be the prefect middle ground between modern and classic gameplay styles and fill in the look Utopia was trying to do at the same time.

I stopped watching when I saw a fucking Mega Man game.
The 16-bit games all look pretty decent, though.

>sonic battle r trailer in thread
>looks like a f2p version of sonic adventure 2 multiplayer
>try it
>theirs like 25 maps and actual people playing in the hub world
>they actually race and have fun and talk shit
ho my god anons

why doesn't mario have good fan games? Do we need to have 15 years of shitty mario games for fans to start creating?

because nintendo rapes fan gamers with legal action over and over again

He used to until Nintendo started killing people for making good fangames. Psycho Waluigi is a good game.

See I'm surprised the one in the OP's video isn't CnD'd yet, it looks great so far.

>Would he really be dumb enough to listen to them?
No. He's got a huge fucking ego so the hate post wouldn't make him budge.

a lot of these look cool and watching the video made me vividly remember downloading super mario fangames in like 2004 so thanks

That doesn't even look bad, as of such, but it'd be a real shame if the game completely lost that freer element. That was a big part of what was so cool about it.

I don't know why, but I haven't been too drawn to some of the Mania hacks. They definitely look fine, but I guess they don't excite me. They visuals and themes are about as expected.

The original games look neat though, I may grab a few of those when the time comes.

The Sonic Advance stuff looks nice.
Definitely going to try Cosmic Boll and Fech the Ferret,

The Mega Man games and Sakura X Clash look cool. I don't care about gay Sonic shit though.

The problem with Mania hacks is that we can't make really custom enemies or bosses, or if we can then it's basically a couple of folks able to code for the game that are reserved to their personal Discord or some shit. So even if you make say, every Sonic 2 or 3 zone, even if you make all-new level content with entirely new sprite visuals, etc etc, it's fundamentally all the same Mania power-ups, enemies and bosses every time besides whatever level gimmicks someone can try to fit in.

>I do think with that and the fact he's also working with Wayforward
This is obviously the reason. There are far more people that want him to make the game than Adventurefags screaming about it. If it really was about backlash then he would have outright said that he quit the project instead of leading retards on for 4 years.
Erafags yet again trying to start shit while pretending they're better than everyone else. You can hate Adventurefags and Classicfags and whoever else as much as you want buy you don't need to make shit up to feel better about yourself especially in a thread were we just want to talk about fangames

Having a mixture of explorable areas and straightforward platforming bits is probably the way to do it, if you want to get an actual game out of this concept, and not just a sandbox demo. Most 3D Mario games do it. Hopefully that's the plan.

I feel bad for the guys making Super Mario Flashback, seems like they've spent years at it when Nintendo will surely kill it 1-2 days after it finally comes out

What impresses me is the amount of sonic games and how their logos look decent yet 99% of times the actual game looks like garbage
Only good shit i've seen are the mania hacks, some of the original 2D games and that rayman crocodile fag game

Hero hasn't shown any progress either. All we've seen is that he's changed his vision. Wish they'd both just release their engines so other people can make the levels.

Pretty much only your pic and that not Castlevania game by the Kyle and Lucy Wonderworld devs.

>Call me crazy, but I'd rather these autists just make an original IP and make a few games and a few bucks.
He is, which is why he cancelled Utopia.

>but I'm certain all the hateposts about his vision being classic instead of modern is why it died.
Are you retarded? Why would a giga classic autist like Lange give a shit about that?
