Is there a point when we'll have all this shit datamined when it comes out in March?
Gavin Evans
I so wish they would have made Generations' stages more open. The other day I was replaying Modern Rooftop Run and Modern City Escape and I wanted so much to be able to go off the stage area and explore the city a bit and find cool hidden things or maybe characters. Hell, maybe getting a cool view of the city would have been good enough.
Aiden Richardson
I remember this theme from the Mega Collection preview of Advance 2.
Eh, March is seven months away, someone might find use for them in a simple sprite replace hack in the mean time. I'm rusty with spritework anyway, kinda want to get back to it, this seemed like a decent way to ease back into it.
Justin Kelly
cool, keep doing it
Levi Richardson
Hold on, what. You're recreating Mania's sprites from the gameplay videos/pictures? Why are you doing that?
Also, I can't ever say no to more Bump
Charles Reyes
I think that's what made unleashed so good, is that you could do that.
But it wears you out, when the night levels can take up to 20 min to finish each.
Christian Cruz
I forgot about this.
>There was a time in my childhood when Sonic Advance 2 was new Boy how times have changed.
Justin Walker
>Why are you doing that? Boredom and low motivation for original creativity, mostly. >Also, I can't ever say no to more Bump I'll give it a shot.

Matthew Flores
That was my favorite part of Unleashed, besides the different hubworlds. If you didn't boost at all and walked around the day stages, you'd find all sorts of neat and fun little secrets and collectibles. I wish they went back to that way of thinking.
Evan Perry
so are the SoSfags all out meeting up getting drunk now or aslepe because it's like 2am. SoS was only one day or is it a weekend event?
Grayson Fisher
>there was a time in my life where Sonic and Knuckles was new.
I was so fucking hyped running to the video rental store to play that game for the first time. My store only had a book with names of games, descriptions and screencaps because it was a video store. But I ran in and he was getting the book for me and I was like I ALREADY KNOW WHAT I WANT.
I miss flicking through that book looking at worlds untold of adventure and wonder. That big book of magic possibilities.
But hey, yeah Mania will be good. And apparently fire and ice doesn't suck!
Sebastian Perry
Weren't there like a few SoSfags in this thread that promised pictures of themselves?
Jayden Price
It's over m8, Saturday only event. As for the SoSfags, we haven't heard back from the ones that were going to meet each other, so I think it's safe to say one of them raped the rest. The only one we've heard of went to bed.
Brandon Lee
Well if that surviving one has a bunch of swag, please only sell it to fellow /sthg/ers. I know that one drawfag is after a coin, but I wanna know what was SoS exclusive or what cool shit was for sale there.
I wanna know what Perfect Chaos won too, she deserved it I hope it was an awesome giftbag!
Mason Rodriguez
Well, they were giving out F4F statues left and right I'M SO FUCKING JEALOUS so I'm sure she got something nice.
Brody Ward

Gavin Reed
How does it feel that the true successor to Sonic & Knuckles is finally coming?
Michael Cruz
nooo

Parker Morales
Consider the following: What if they made a Knuckles game where the whole story was literally just Knuckles trying to get Eggman and other invaders off of his island.
It is open world and can have multiple events happening at different parts of the island.
You can use Knuckles' dig ability to fast travel to any location on the island.
At any point you can go back to the Master Emerald shrine to heal up and empower yourself.
The final boss/event is Eggman summoning his entire Egg fleet to the island and Knuckles has to solo the entire fleet by destroying and ripping apart each and every single airship.

Will he come back to finish it, /sthg/?

Said he would.

Kevin Gomez
Retard Sally is CUTE!
Thomas Martin

Jacob Young
Should we mention the movie too or not yet?
Wyatt Howard
Is it sad that I still want an Episode 3? I just hate when games lack conclusions.
Jack White
>Fire and Ice looking decent
Ehhh... I wouldn't go THAT far.
But yeah, other than that, Sega's on top of their game for Sonic's 25th.
Dylan Sanders
Let's wait until we see the first footage of it. Maybe it's amazing. Maybe we'll throw up on sight. Best not to count it yet.
>I just hate when games lack conclusions Hope you didn't play Brotherhood.
Adam Hill
I have a feeling that through time travel shenanigans, Little Planet in its Ep 2 condition may end up in Sonic Mania. The new GHZ boss sports the modern Death Egg design used in Generations and Episode 2 even. Maybe Sonic Mania will even be about fixing up the mess Eggman left on Little Planet from Ep 2.
Brandon Gonzalez

Gabriel Martinez
An ExplorBeat-Em-Up.
I'd play it.
Lucas Roberts
>wasted like 2 hours of my life rigging and animating Knickles the Knocklehog and he won't go into Unreal because Bone1 isn't perpendicular and there's no way to fix it other than start again
It's like they don't want me to make fan-games.
Alexander Brown
I want Marine back.
Grayson Wright
I hate it so much when something like that happens and you have to start over.
Noah Sullivan
Genuinely takes the wind out of your sail. Oh well, will try again tomorrow possibly, I don't want to give up with this like I did everything else.
Tyler Ramirez
>Hope you didn't play Brotherhood. Played it for a few hours, got Shadow and quit.
David Rodriguez
I am so fucking hungry now. I want some cupcakes.
Also, Marine sounds like she could be fun
Parker Cook
It's on TSSZ Also take off the name. Nothing against you personally, it's just thread etiquette
Dominic Morgan
Sorry user Google Chrome autofill did that
Landon Rogers
She's better off forgotten in my opinion. Though I am curious, who is better, Marine or Sticks? They are kind of similar.
Elijah Barnes
I always imagined her returning as a gag. During a tense situation between Eggman and Sonic - perhaps a hostage situation or a trade-off - she and her crew would barge in on a pirate ship and pretend she planned the whole thing. I'd love to see everyone's reaction.
Ethan Collins
Recent news is in OP.
We just had a talk about it on the /v/ thread, but it's nothing we didn't already know.
Archie already pissed in Sega's cornflakes by setting them up for the Brotherhood debacle, and then they fucked Sega over even more when they bungled the lawsuit against Penders (which all happened at the same time). Sega then set out a ton of new mandates, some known and some not, about what they could and couldn't do with the comic and the characters, all in order to make sure that another thing like this didn't happen again.
Then it happened again.
Now, since Fulop is bringing the suit against Archie and has no real way of proving that he ALONE owns the characters, they'll likely end up in joint ownership, and he may or may not get royalties (probably not) for a few comics from 2013 and onwards (anything before, which is what makes up the majority of the 1000 cases of infringement, is no longer valid for him to claim since the statute of limitations is up on them). So no matter what, Archie's not going bankrupt over the court case.
But Sega's not going to want to deal with Archie after this suit is over - it causes too much headache for something that doesn't make Sega a lot of money, but risks their IP (Robo-Robotnik is now in a place where no one can use him, since he belongs to Penders as of the court case, but Penders can't use him in any recognizable form without infringing on the Robotnik/Eggman trademark).
So Sonic Comics are probably going to be put on permanent "hiatus", while the Mega Drive continuation/successors (if there ever are any) will move to a different publisher.
Jordan Butler
Sticks by design, Marine by personality.
Luke Campbell
>maybe a couple of Bump sprites? that would be great actually 32x bump?
Angel Perry
Damn, so it's going to end up like the Megaman comics. Fuck.
Sebastian Bailey
Marine is a cool mechanic who wants to have her own adventures. Her character arc is kind of the opposite of Tail's actually, so she makes a good foil to him.
Tails was under-confident and relied on Sonic too much, and a lot of his character development revolved around him trying to get past this. Ultimately, he need to prove to himself, no one else, that he could do what he set out to do. And since he's always had the skills to do so, he did just needed to believe in himself.
Marine's kinda the opposite. She's overconfident and doesn't want to rely on anyone else, but she lacks the natural skills and talent to back up her confidence. Her character development revolves around her actually acknowledging her shortcomings, accepting them, and then ultimately developing her skills into something that she can be proud of (both when she built her own boat and when she manifested her hydrokenetic powers to save Sonic and Blaze).
Sticks is just there for comedic effect.
Grayson Robinson
Sorted it, means I need to redo and reanimate but I know what did it, tiny fucking undoable change at the start of the bastard thing. Gonna go grab me one of dat dere' Tumblrs so I can stop shittin up the thread.
I don't know how to game development stop me now
Eli Edwards
user, you will post more of that derpy knuckles
And you will post it now
Lincoln Hernandez
He's not that cute close up, the plan was to make a real low poly game and half arse the textures so I wouldn't have to put time into possibly making it look accidentally bad.
I'd have some animations and poses but got set back 2 hours.
David Perry

Austin Bennett
The the user who requested: >Bump launching a firework that explodes into a Red White and Blue Sonic Face, while Sage launches one that explode into "Fuck you"
Do I remove it from the pastebin, the requester or someone else? And how would I do it because I never used it before
Jose Lewis
This looks great
Elijah Sullivan
What people are forgetting is Fulop can only sue for reprints featuring "his" characters because of the statute of limitations, which is going to severely lower how much he could potentially ask for. He also has no case whatsoever against Sega directly, and while it's probably annoying for them to have to deal with another Archie-related lawsuit any corporation has to have a legal staff on hand to handle any frivolous lawsuits.
Fulop is basically just asking for everything under the sun to increase the chances that he'll get something. It'll probably end in a settlement, Archie will can the reprints and digital archives, and the comics will continue on as usual.
John Taylor
I don't know about you but I'm cropping the last two panels and using them as reaction images.
Also I updated the wall and moved the request to the Filled Requests section. If there's a credit other than user that you'd like used, just let me know.

Justin Miller
>she just dropped the match on the floor to light the rocket
Hunter Flores
Thanks dudes, I might do some more tomorrow
I dunno, aren't people on here generally funny with that kinda thing?
Jose Hall
>spoiler Yeah, but generally anons don't raise a fuss if you sign your stuff, and using a name to be credited in the drawfag wall seems to be okay too. Use them sparingly and only when strictly necessary and you will be mostly fine
Someone uploaded the voice actor panel from the 25th anniversary.
Connor Taylor
As said, signatures on art and credits on the wall are fine. It's unwarranted namefaggotry in the threads that rile people.
Matthew Myers
About time! I hated we missed it in the stream.
Ian Perry
I don't usualy sign my artwork asides chucking my tumblr URL in the corner, but I've stopped doing that now although to be honest I might as well get in the habit of doing that in all my artwork especially my stuff for Uni.
>What if they made a Knuckles game where the whole story was literally just Knuckles trying to get Eggman and other invaders off of his island. knuckles chaotix
Leo Hill
Sign your fucking artwork man.
Just no trips while posting
William Powell
It's not mandatory though, so do as you please.
Oliver Stewart
Thanks, user!
Nolan Lopez
looks perfect! awesome drawing
Evan Peterson
absolutely sign your stuff, no one should ever get mad about it and if they do they can go fuck themselves. careful about namefaggotry though, that's different from signing your shit and is usually just straight faggotry
