I would've voted your hack, but I suck at it, so I didn't.

Hint: Click his link.

(Second hint: Sonic 2 Retro Remix)

This is the standing for the hacks/fan games so far:

Sonic 1 Difficult Delusions: 1
Sonic 1 Tails: 3
Sonic 1 Knuckles: 3
Sonic 1 Amy: 2
Robotnik's Revenge: 2
SRB2: 4 (It's 4 because RPG voted)
Sonic 1 Omachao Edition: 2
Sonic 1 Megamix: 2

I'm not expecting many to be interested in this, but it would be nice to have hack/fan game night at some point .

You seem to think we're supposed to practice? Far from it! Talk to HyperSonic7701, he can tell you a thing or two about practice.~

Inuyasha · « **Reply #35 on:** October 19, 2012, 05:06:32 pm »

Bahahah I would totally race S1 Omochao Edition just for the hilarity factor
(also SRB2, but I already said that.)

Also if you're still tracking votes for the official games I wouldn't mind playing any of the classic trio of games, Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic CD (all versions), Sonic 3D Blast, Sonic Advance, or any episode of Sonic 4.

Parax · « **Reply #36 on:** October 19, 2012, 05:07:35 pm »

I wonder if it would be worth having a "hack night" where we have like 4 or 5 races back-to-back of various hacks.

Get out of my head I was thinking of this earlier :P

Bilan · « **Reply #38 on:** October 19, 2012, 05:35:17 pm »

Possible with short goals/hacks!

Certain hacks/fangames are pretty meaty though (like megamix) and probably wouldnt be ideal

Id totes race in hack/fangame night though

flying fox · « **Reply #39 on:** October 19, 2012, 05:49:31 pm »

Well if I see a bit of interest in it (like I am now), I see no reason why we can't have a hack night. I'm trying to think of other hacks that might be fun/interesting to race. So far I can only think of:

1) Sonic 1 Bouncy
2) Sonic 2 XL
3) Sonic 1 Return to Origin

RPG came up with Sonic Time Attacked, said it was good. Can anyone think of anything else and what do you think of those hacks I suggested?

Also adding Thorn's hack to the list. It should be on there.

Cream147 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 19, 2012, 06:02:12 pm »

Oh, I love Return to the Origin. I also vote for that. A hack night would also be fantastic.

DarkAura · « **Reply #41 on:** October 19, 2012, 06:44:49 pm »

ME HAZ IDEA
Sonic Generations Mods
kthnxbye

Parax · « **Reply #42 on:** October 19, 2012, 06:53:59 pm »

Generations mods aren't really well-suited for races. They're way too short. Maybe when there are some that are longer than one or two levels.

Bilan · « **Reply #43 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:04:39 pm »

The only Generation mod thats even viable is Classic Sonic Adventures, and even that has DUBIOUS things

ie

- you are basically shit out of luck without classic sonics homing attack, though the levels CAN be beaten without them
- a bunch of the classic levels with modern sonic in them crash if you do certain things, also planet wisp is incompletable

DarkAura · « **Reply #44 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:11:25 pm »

Still waiting for the day where one of my ideas aren't shot down >_>
Anyways.. How about we have some races of other genres during the week?

i imagine you could just make a shoutout in irc if you ever wanted to race something else during the week. i don't think they're gonna want to schedule other races during the week, it's already a good amount of work to schedule and promote and keep track of just the one race i imagine.

flying fox · « **Reply #46 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:42:58 pm »

Just going through retro looking at the hacks and I saw these which could be interesting:
1) Sonic 3D: No Flickies
2) Sonic The One Ring
3) Sonic 1 Alt
4) Sonic 2 Heroes
5) Sonic 2 Secret Rings Control

Click the links and have a look and see if any of those interest you guys. If so I'll add them to the list.

DarkAura · « **Reply #47 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:48:59 pm »

Hey, my librarian is helping me make my own Sonic game. Once it's done, should we race it? Still developing the Physics engine to not have a Physics failure like S4E2.

Bilan · « **Reply #48 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:57:23 pm »

Not to pick fault but you sort of need at least a basic prototype of your game before anyone can even comment on whether or not its worth playing

DarkAura · « **Reply #49 on:** October 19, 2012, 07:59:11 pm »

Good point... See you in thirty weeks! lol

SB737 · « **Reply #50 on:** October 19, 2012, 08:09:44 pm »

on the thout of generations mods, maybe we could race the unleashed project when it is finished

DarkAura · « **Reply #51 on:** October 19, 2012, 08:10:24 pm »

^Yes.

5) Sonic 2 Scret Rings Control

(2), (3) and (4) look very interesting, each in a completely different way. I love the concept of "The One Ring", though to get the most fun out of it, I would avoid playing it at all before the race!

Cream147 · « **Reply #53 on:** October 19, 2012, 08:44:19 pm »

Sonic 2 Heroes has been superseded by Sonic Classic Heroes by the way. And yes, it's great, and yes, it's worth being on the list.

TimpZ · « **Reply #54 on:** October 20, 2012, 03:52:44 am »

As long as we're giving suggestions, Sonic Before the sequel is pretty decent

bertin · « **Reply #55 on:** October 20, 2012, 07:26:48 am »

Since we're getting into fan games as well. Might I suggest a Sonic The Hedgehog 2D?

flying fox · « **Reply #56 on:** October 20, 2012, 07:59:54 am »

Right I have changed Sonic 2 Heroes to Sonic Classic Heroes as it does sound better. You can play S1 and S2 combined with the 3 characters and you have the element shields in there too. Hopefully Cream147 can find a level select.

As for Sonic Before the Sequel watch the trailer here so and see what you think of it. It actually looks pretty good imo.

Had a look at Sonic the Hedgehog 2D. Watch the video of it here and tell me if you want to race it. Another game that looks good to me.

Bilan · « **Reply #57 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:06:11 am »

My thoughts on these 5:

1) Sonic 3D: No Flickies
2) Sonic The One Ring
3) Sonic 1 Alt
4) Sonic 2 Heroes/Sonic Classic Heroes
5) Sonic 2 Scret Rings Control

1) Interesting, without the flickies you can just run right to the end. So it should be short (and fun) which is pretty ideal if hax nyt is going to have multiple games.

2) No. Scouring a level for a single ring over and over is the exact opposite of short and fun.

3) No idea, if the level design is fair it could be entertaining. Worth playing beforehand to find out.

4) Don't see the point of this one, as the addition of flying/gliding/elemental shields isn't really going to make all that much difference to the speedrun routes.

5) Maybe worth a look? The idea that you get faster the more points you earn could place a higher emphasis on skillful play and mean that mixing up the routes a bit to earn more points works out better overall.

I'll have a look at the other games mentioned and post my thoughts on those in a bit.

flying fox · « **Reply #58 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:30:56 am »

Ok I think it's pretty obvious that the main games list is done, so after the race I will sort them out. Going to give more time on the hacks list of course.

Zorkiy · « **Reply #59 on:** October 20, 2012, 04:58:52 pm »

I'd like to race any of Mega Drive games, MS/GG games, GBA games + SCD'11 + SPA. Can't or don't wanna race other games atm. >_>
Also, I'll probably race any hack/fangame suggested, though I'm not sure, as I barely played any of them yet.
