Welcome to the Sonic the Hedgehog General. Here we talk about all things Sonic! Share art and music, talk about new developments, discuss ROM hacks, speedrunning, and more.
If you're working on a level, post screenshots. I want to see what you've come up with.
Zachary Wright
What's the best way to get into ROM hacks and fan games? Like, is there a way to play ROM hacks on steam? Does /sthg/ have a recommended list of good ROMS or fan games? Maybe mods in general?

Luke Wilson
Start with Sonic Megamix.
Cooper Cook
Was there a Boom episode yesterday? Is it up yet?

The Sonic games on Steam are compatible with Steam Workshop, which means official romhack support. Last I checked you can play Sonic 3 Complete on Steam.
Justin Ross
Fuck you, nigger
Jaxson Morgan
Heroes is a pleb filter

Heroes is just adventure with a team mechanic though
Josiah Cruz

So are you gay or a fat black woman? Because I've noticed fat black women love Sonic.
Julian Russell
Neither
John Lee
Fat black woman confirmed.
Kevin Barnes
I just watched the first episode of Sonic Boom and it was kind of funny in that Snarky Pixar way. I could actually get over the designs maybe now that I'm used to the voice actors from recent games. Bought the whole collection on Steam How deep down this rabbit hole am I?
Jayden Lewis
You're still in the normal category.
John Gray
Not deep enough. You need to be here at 3 AM, arguing about game mechanics and which gameplay styles are best.

Jeremiah Smith
Is this loss
Ryan Miller
Don't mind me, just the best special stage in the franchise passing through.
Leo Cooper
Chaotix >>> Heroes
Aaron Campbell

I wanted to say-
I saw on the other thread that someone was saying that ABT and Ian know what's going on and can't say because of work things.
While that makes complete and total sense, I can tell you with complete confidence that they have no idea what's going on. They know that Sega is "making decisions" and that Archie hasn't told them a damn thing.
One thing they do know is that they haven't worked since December and that they all need(ed) to find other sources of employment. I really wish I could say they knew anything more.
Nathaniel Mitchell
Nah.
Joseph Clark
How do you know?
Easton James
fuck I think you're right
Connor Jenkins

Joseph Myers
people actually liked the heroes' special stages? They're the same as Sonic 2's but in 3D and worse controls
Austin Jackson
>Sega is "making decisions" What's influencing those decisions? The lawsuit, more money?
Alexander Ward
A little too easy
Cameron Walker
Heroes is Adventure with a team mechanic, overly long levels you have to beat 4 times and absolutely fucked physics for a platformer The worst offender is the fact that your falling vertical momentum will translate into horizontal momentum even if you you hit the ground at a 90 degree angle, and jumping to correct yourself after you land will kill you, because you will get flung off in the direction you're traveling.
I'm sick of the term "slippery controls" too, but it doesn't make it any less-valid of a complaint.
Wyatt Watson
There's lots of influences. All we have are speculations, but I can probably say it's a combination of Archie's questionable decisions in the past, a few hairy lawsuits and a "change in focus" for both Sonic and Sega's brand image.
Evan Miller
The only thing Heroes is good for is watching speedrunners break the fuck out of it.
I agree, these stages had a fair amount of challenge but were easy to handle and didn't make me panic too much.
Brayden Jackson
So, in short, Arin chose the Wii version because he was hoping that this would be the more glitchy, or broken of the two, but it backfired. The Wii version is no more glitchy, or broken than the HD version. It's just more boring. Nice going, Arin.
Daniel Ramirez
Maybe end of July is when they'll make up their minds?
Anthony Jackson
The only thing your fat ass dollar cent whore mother is good for is watching people beat the shit out of her for not sucking a dick properly
Luke Peterson
THE NEW PORCUPINE ON THE BLOCK WITH THE BUFF CHEST
Andrew Bell
I'd beat the shit out of this guy if I ever saw him irl
Hunter Kelly

Jason Sanders

Logan Lopez
Amy is a worthless slut
Easton Peterson
user is a worthless slut
Jaxon Howard
Funny thing is, I actually did meet Arin when he came to Columbus for his Wendy's promotion. Even crazier, it had been mere days after he and Ross played GHP on the channel, so when I told Arin and thanked him for the added exposure he said "No shit! That was you? Man, we should be making a line to meet you too." It was a good day.
Henry Peterson
Agreed and she needs to stop trying to hog my man.
Lincoln Reed
It's unlikely, I know. I just always feel compelled to say something when I see it come up.
Noah Smith
Mecha > Metal
Kevin Cruz
I really wouldn't count on it.
Cameron Davis
I did not say that, and... why did you think I did?
Tyler Bailey
If it was me, I would've told him that I never asked for his exposure, and promptly spit on his shoes.
I really, really fucking hate him.
Camden Russell
>Always a Greenhill Zone remake >Never a Emerald Hill Zone remake FUCKING STOP STOP IT NOW FUCKING LISTEN TO ME
Ryan Bennett
>implying emerald hill isn't a green hill remake itself
Luis Bell
I don't care that much for the guy either but calm it down a little, bud.
Zachary Murphy
Two different anons. I wouldn't beat him up irl, but I would call him out on his bullshit. To his face. Maybe call his wife an ugly alien to goad him into starting a fight, so I'd have an excuse to kick his ass.
Easton Barnes
SMBZ?
Christopher Jackson
I don't give a flying fuck about that idiot, but he's terribly unfunny, he's an idiot, spouts bullshit all the fucking time. I just wanna punch him in the face and give him a nosebleed, is that too much to ask?
Josiah Richardson
Heroes is Adventure but with better level design but worse controls/physics.
Leo Morris
You chumps buying Mania on PC or console?
Mason White
PC. Gotta play with that USB Genesis pad.
Jace Ramirez
>a "change in focus" for both Sonic and Sega's brand image. WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Josiah Martin
Neither. If I want to play Sonic 1, 2, and Knuckles levels, I'll just play those games.
Joshua Johnson
Both PC and PS4.
Liam Bailey
I'll play it, but I'm not buying it.
Evan Johnson
but user suzy isn't an alien
Kayden Bailey
I'm not getting mania at all
Ian Perry
Switch
Camden Campbell
Sega getting deadline autism as always.
Sebastian Harris
PC. I refuse to play this on anything other than a CRT at native 240p.
Henry Rivera
>"Hello Rafa. I saw your post on Tumblr regarding your situation and wanted to revisit the commission we had discussed. I can assure you I am serious regarding this project and am committed to payment on whatever terms you find agreeable, and on top of that I wanted to mention that I know of at least one other commission that I would like to purchase following this one. I apologize that this is most likely not the consistent source of work that you are needing right now, but as a longtime fan of your work, I hope this would at least help in some way."
Finally caught Rafa while they were online. Now to see the response.
Liam Lee

Its mainly for DQX and MHXX I think. DQX is so fucking shit on PS4 that it might help the Switch sales
