Breaking news

Hello, everyone! What a beautiful day, huh?

Well, let's start with some new stuff.

As I had SO MUCH graphics here, I decided to store it on the game so everyone could see. This is the birth of Sonic Phoenix' Visual Mode.

But, as I know you don't wanna wait, I'll show you a concept art or two:

1. Vehicles ~ Dragon's Breath:

A small and weak four-wheeled vehicle, specially made for off-road situations. Can throw flames in a temperature +100°C from its frontal cannon.

2. Vehicles ~ Black Widow:

A powerful and compact battle car equipped with eletromagnectic cannons on its back that allows it to recycle almost every kind of metal INSTANTLY into homing missiles or huge bullets.

3. Construction Bot

A huge static robot made by Eggman with strong photon-moved arms for the construction of Avalon, over the space, for quick material transporting. Very useful against Demon, since it could make different kind of attacks with its hands.

Hmm, and, before I forget, thanks to Gear_The_Hedgehog, for the final logo of Sonic Phoenix:

That's it. See you!

LH's birthday update

Ow well. Here I am for my B-day update.

I was supposed to release this at July 13th, but I'm a bit in a hurry with some things here, and I'm a bit afraid I can get the Suine Flu; but whatever. Time for the screenshots.

From top to bottom:

1 - ...prototype start screen. Blargh, don't know of what am I going to do here, btw.

2 - Before every stage... your mission. I'm pretending to put 3 missions, like acts, for every stage. Like, first mission is reach the goal, second is a special mission and the third is a boss. So, three chances to get the "key" (better say this word) to the Special Stage (Chaos Emeralds' Challenge is back, lol). I'll put more effects on this screen.

3 - New main menu. The coloured circles will be buttons (I'll change the icons), and the green bar is the Sidebar, which appears when the mouse is near to the right side of the screen. The final one will contain different gimmicks.

4 - A little example of the new titlecard. I was thinking in changing it, so...

Ummm... May I say... well, if you have any suggestion for this, contact me. I would be full of happiness, lol.

That's it.

Almost fainting

Okay, people. Long time I don't come here to say things about our favorite Hedgehog fangame.

The fact is... almost one month ago, I lost almost everything. Yes, almost, because I still have the Base Engine, but the misc crap (like the timezone gimmick), I lost. That's what happens when you don't make a backup.

But anyways, this made me learn two things: 1.Always make backup files of my games and 2.Make a better Sonic Phoenix, full of awesomeness.

First of all, I've released a prototype, called BETA 602, which you can download here. Triggers are:

Arrow Keys/Joy Keys: moves Sonic
Button Z/Joy1 ~on air~: Jump
Button Z/Joy1 ~next to walls~: Wall Kick
Button X/Joy2 ~on the ground, not running fast~: Slide
Button X/Joy2 ~on air~: Hard Stomp
Button X/Joy2 ~on the ground, running fast~: Speed Boost

Button X/Joy2 ~holding when grinding~: Accelerate
Button C/Joy3 ~on air, near to an enemy or important item~: Homming Attack (for this move, you must notice if there's any red target over an enemy)
Button C/Joy3 ~on air, no enemies near~: Homming Attack Temp. I just don't know how to call it; just makes you go to front.
Button F12/Joy4 ~When with control~: Increases frame rate. Good if you want the time to pass faster.
Enter: if you REALLY want to pause the game, press this key.

Second, I've deleted Cross from the script for now.

"Oh no, Cross is deleted from the game?"

No. I'm just putting it aside for now; I'm exhausted of its bad graphics. Instead of using it, I've started developing the level "Wasteland: Ruined Metropolis".

Here's a pic or two.

If you want to see Sonic in action, I made a video showing a sample of Wasteland; an official trailer.

Cya guys.

Oh! And the blog will pass on some updates here. So, don't worry if it appears strange on a certain period of time.
