*repost*. So, the question is, what elements in past Sonic games do you like the most? By that I mean past game features you wouldn't mind returning in a new Sonic game, e.g, Chao Garden, etc. I'm currently working on projects that I'd like some feedback for.

>>17909 2 player VS modes Chao Garden Alternate outfits / costumes Sound Tests Menu Themes

Damn, it feels good to be back. >>17906 Once again, you can just post the cytube link here. >>17909 >Emerald collecting, with an actually interesting and fun special stage, like Mania's, unlike Heroes. >Chao Garden, with new features to expand on the pet sim part. >3 playable characters should be the norm and bare minimum >Elemental shields, each character could have a different power from getting them. >Avatar maker for new game+ >RIDERS, EXTREME GEARS, ANYTHING GOD PLEASE >Super forms >3D momentum based platforming, the closer we got to that was Adventure 1 and it was way too limited by it's time. >If you're going to add a story, no more puns and forced jokes pls thx

>>17906 >Sonic movie redesign reportedly cost $5 million >we cost a company 5 million dollars just by sheer shitposting power

>>17909 >Bonus stages, specially in tense gameplay moments (not just special stages for emeroods). >Hidden passageways, like behind destructible things or fake walls. >AI player following you and having him help you like Tails carrying Sonic just not in the special stages pls Gib details on projects >>17911 >Alternate outfits / costumes That would be really cool as long as the costumes are well designed. I was never very fond of SA2 alternate costumes, honestly. >Menu Themes They did it pretty well in SA2 with the different VAs narrating the options.

Does anyone have any of the really old board banners, by chance? The banners weren't migrated with the rest of the board so I had to upload them again (which only started working today, too). I had the newer ones saved because I had to download them to upload them to the board, but I never really thought of saving those that were already there by the time I became BO. I've tried archive.org to see if they had captures of us but I didn't have much luck. Seems at some point they stopped capturing images altogether. I also remember someone archiving us through archive.is before but I can't access the site at the moment. Will check later but it can't hurt to ask in the meantime. Saved webpages or screenshots where the banners show might help too. New banners would be awesome needless to say, I love the current set.

>>17916 I don't have any of the old ones, but I think I can make a new banner sometime this weekend.

What did you guys think of the movie redesign? Do you think it's a better outcome for the franchise? Will you go see the movie now?

>>17919 >What did you guys think of the movie redesign? Should have been what it is now at the start out of 10 >Do you think it's a better outcome for the franchise? Yes, as much as jaded fans cry otherwise. > Will you go see the movie now? Yes, but not out of support. I just don't mind seeing it now that I can actually tolerate looking at the main character of the movie. I wouldn't mind just seeing something new in theaters again, since the last time was with Wreck it Ralph 1.

>>17919 Now it's going to be actually seeable and not cringeworthy, even if the script is still shit.

>>17923 Such a cool render. It's a shame we never got more of that sweet, sweet riders aesthetic.

>>17925 I'm more upset about how in general the aesthetics have been getting poorer over time. Unleashed was great, Colors was pretty good no bully, Generations was pretty much the best from all the games before so it was okay… 2011 up until now is Lost World and Forces. Has someone ever done a Riders style Bump? I was sure someone had but I can't find any pics.

I hope the IDW storytime continues now that we're back online.

>>17927 Oh yeah, that would be pretty cool. I haven't read any issues since the site went down.

It’s been extended

Do you think Sonic and friends enjoy going to casinos? How popular do you think gambling is in Sonic's world?

>>17943 Casinos seem to be literally everywhere so I imagine they're popular, but every character would enjoy different things about them. >Sonic gets hooked on them >Tails gets annoyed at them because he can see through the bullshit that is gambling, but enjoys them if he's there playing along with Sonic. >Amy goes to them to chase Sonic and is indifferent to most games, but eventually gets get hooked on coin machines. >Knuckles agrees to go, but always ends up losing >Shadow runs security I miss the anon that would always invent little greentext stories like this about each character take on different things.

>>17939 I can't believe this is still being developed after so long, kek.

>>17946 Never noticed till now how much of a huge difference a lack of eyebrows is for Sally

>>17923 Here's an even more kino version, recently uploaded.

>>17948 Nice, hope he does more.

>>17926 Found it on the booru!

>>17950 That's cute. I don't suppose there's one for Sage (Riders)?

I love Bump!

>>17951 I don't think so, no.

>>17952 speaking our mascots, any word of that one anon working on that Sonic 2 hack from 4/sthg/?

>>17954 Didn't know someone was trying to hack her into Sonic 2, pretty cool. Is he doing new sprites or reusing the ones from the Sonic 1 hack? Also, how many of you actually played and finished that first hack?

Also, how did you guys find this place again after it went up?

>>17955 He said he was doing the sprites. IIRC, he did original Sage sprites and showcased them in a webm offsite. He also didn't know the Bump in S1 sprites existed after someone told him >>17956 It got linked on 4/sthg/. I was taking refuge there since I sort of assumed that would be the first place besides 8's twitter to know it was back up

>>17955 I couldn't finish the Bump in Sonic 1 hack. There's a glitch in Scrap Brain zone that kept looping the final level and not letting me into the final boss part. >>17956 Through 4chan's /sthg/, someone mentioned that /fast/ was back online and dropped a link.

New Sonic movie render. https://twitter.com/TailsChannel/status/1200978590059433984?s=20

>>17957 Was he going to use the Sage sprites for something or did he just do them for fun? I wanna look at them, does anyone have the webm? Also this reminds me of some other guy that was working on a fangame a while back, had pretty good Bump & Sage models too. Anyone know what I'm talking about and knows what happened to that? >It got linked on 4/sthg/. That explains that message from the batposter. I wonder if new people followed the link too. >>17958 >There's a glitch in Scrap Brain zone that kept looping the final level and not letting me into the final boss part. Kek, that fucking sucks, and in the last level too.

>>17960 The sprites were already ingame when he showcased them from the video >anyone have the webm? Sorry, I don't. Your best bet is to search a 4chan archive >that explains the message from the batposter Thankfully for me I've dropped posting in 4/sthg/ ever since this place came back up. Now I just need to stop going altogether, which given my previous experience of doing so shouldn't take more than a month

>>17961 Oh wow so he moded Sage in Sonic 2 too? >Your best bet is to search a 4chan archive Might try it, thanks. >Now I just need to stop going altogether Yeah, it's hard at first but then you get used to the slowness I guess.

>>17962 Seems there are no more /vg/ archives alive. I searched what I could but not only I didn't find it but also I think I may have cancer now.

Sonic Hacking Contest starts this week. Any entry you're looking forward to?

>>17964 I haven't really checked on with that, unless there's something out of the ordinary in them, game hacks aren't much to my taste.

>>17965 Apparently there's a certain amount of hype for Sonic Gaiden (Mania hack). They're now saying they want to do a physical release.

>>17966 Wouldn't selling a physical copy of a fangame be copyright infringment?

>>17967 Probably. If Sega reacts to this it will be interesting to see their response to it

>>17968 I doubt that Sega won't do anything about that, particularly so if it's a hack showcased on the contest, it will get a lot of publicity.

>>17964 I don't really keep up with these. Normally I just watch SCMJ play them and then play any that I think were interesting afterwards

Marza makes such cute things.

>>17971 I wonder if we'll ever get another high quality 3D short, considering how popular 2D sonic animations are nowadays.

>>17973 Maybe after the movie and Marza frees up a little. Still, it's a good thing people and Marza are showing love for Night of the Werehog.

Did ABT ever show up again on /sthg/?

>>17963 There’s the arch.b4k.co/vg/ one, however, the search function Doesn’t really work with text as much as it does with post numbers.

>>17979 http://arch.b4k.co/vg/search/text/8kun/ Scratch that it doesn’t work for /v/ but for /vg/ it does: http://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/272681452/#272704867 http://arch.b4k.co/vg/thread/273388782/#273402482 Christ the faggotry is immense. I only lurk the 4chan archives, how could anyone bear posting there at all?

>>17980 Awesome, thanks. I'll give it a go later today. Do full images not work though or is it just on my end? >those threads It's really bad. I left for much less than this, I can't imagine having to sift through that just to follow the thread. Kinda makes you think twice whether dropping links to /fast/ there is a good idea. >THANK GOD I'M FREE Kek >how could anyone bear posting there at all? Probably a combination of things. Some can't take the slowness of here, some haven't heard of it, some probably don't want to migrate, but most likely it's a matter of things slowly decaying into how they are now by positive feedback, so the way things are now attract other people that like it and further promote it until there's a lot of people that wouldn't like it any other way.

>/fast/ is back about time

>>17975 No, I don't think so.

>>17982 welcome back

>>17980 Found it! The guy sounded pretty ambitious and it seems there was a ton of work still to be done. I've always been impressed by the amount of people that ended up in /sthg/ creating stuff in one way or another. Not a huge fan of the Sage sprites here but they're most likely far from done.

>>17985 Yep that's it. I wonder if they're still working on it. I'm noy expecting daily or weekly updates. Just a "It's / I'm still alive" post every so often

>>17986 It hasn't been that long since the original post, just a bit over a month. Maybe he'll post an update soon. I wonder if one day an /sthg/ hack or fangame will show up in one of the fangame/hack showcases.

What's the last Sonic game you've played and how long has it been?

>>17988 Sonic 2 & Knuckles about two weeks ago.

>>17990 Oh and speaking of Knuckles, his Ugandan counterpart will be wrestling in this Sunday’s 8chanmania which also features Mephiles, although the latter jobbed hard to FFXIII’s Lightning in last week’s bad games mania. >>>/v/16769655

>>17991 Speaking about 8chan things, during the downtime someone mentioned there was a board to catalog board-tans and I went there when it was back up and found this >>>/tan/300

>>17992 I should have checked /tan/ more; everyone should use each other's boards on the site, really.

>/fast/ is alive again Long time no see, lads >>17928 It's gonna be a bit long, but I plan on beginning the storytimes anew this week!

>>17995 >everyone should use each other's boards on the site, really I fully agree, I found a couple more boards I wanted to check during the downtime, but they're still not up. I'm always surprised when I find anons speaking of us on other boards, we're pretty small after all. >>17996 Hey man, missed you. Looking forward to the storytimes, I still have to read the newer issues. Should also get to updating the IDW archive again.

>>17997 >spoiler Sweet. And yeah, with the issues that's been released lately & the beginning of Tangle/Whisper, looking forward to storytiming in here again

>>17996 Oh, and don't forget to deactivate the disclaimer in the options if you haven't already.

>>17999 Done & done

>>18000 >18k posts nice

>>18001 Almost missed it, sweet. Here's to another 18k

Rise and shine /sthg/!

>>17988 That would be Team Sonic Racing, in a very glitchy Parsec session because my third world internet is shit. >>17996 Long time no see! Glad to have you back on board. >>18003 Have a nice day, anon!

It feels bad coming here and seeing so many posts talking shit about the other general.. I come here to get away from shitposting but then I see people shitting anyway and it's like "well, this is how it begins"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9zZus_1_ag Morning /fast/ Favorite mainline theme for a Sonic game?

>>18006 Endless Possibility for me. But if you had to choose your least favorite one, which one would you go with?

https://youtu.be/pNB4Cy4mftI >>18006 I love Open your heart, but Knight of the wind steals the show. >>18007 Now that's a tricky one… If I had to choose I'd say Sonic Spinball's main theme, but if only mainline games count… Then I couldn't answer. They all have something good about them.

>>18008 >Knight of the wind Knight of the wind is an eggcelent choice. >Then I couldn't answer That's cheating!

has anyone ever bought shirts from the Sega Shop? what is the quality like? do they start falling apart after a few washes? how do the graphics hold up? they extended the cyber monday sale and I wanted the chao shirt but if it's low quality then it's still not going to be worth $15 + another $6 in shipping

>>18007 Honestly? Probably Reach for the Stars I don't hate the song itself, but it never got me excited to play the game like the Adventure-era themes, or was a song I found myself humming like Fist Bump.

>>18006 You posted it >>18007 Reach for the Stars

>>18010 There aren't any product reviews for it yet?

>>18011 For me it was the opposite, I could never get into Fist Bump now that I think of it.

Rest in peace, /sonich/.

>>18019 Sonic #20 storytime. Plan on doing #21 later tonight & the rest over the next few days. Enjoy!

>>18013 no

>>18025 Thanks you anon, looking forward to reading it later.

>>18025 Thanks fam.

I hope to get my Sonic entries in next year since the Hacking Contest has already started for the year. Managing this and job searching is going to be a ass time for me…

>>17975 Did he do any other professional work before Archie Sonic? How did he break into the industry?

>>18030 Good luck, anon. We can be your playtesters!

>>17980 I really gotta like how they get upset about the "tonal" shift here over there and assume just because people that originated from there, by coming here, shouldn't change the state of this place because it's the "same group of people". Disregarding that not everyone that post on 4/sthg/ are shitposters, baiters or, most shocking to them, assholes. Some really just want to talk about Sonic content and doesn't need to be boost2winning the post count per hour just to discuss about Sonic the Hedgehog. Not to mention, even if people came from there and don't "unlearn" the 4chan way as it would, there's actual mod support here so you can't go out of line here unlike 4chan. So yeah, as long as this site doesn't get taken down again by stupid pol crap, I'm staying here and hope to see more fans come here in due time. There's a lot of catching up to do to get this place back up and running.

>>17988 I just played Sonic's part of SA1 for the first time, and liked it. It has problems but the good parts are enjoyable.

>>18032 Here's hoping, I feel like I can actual get some feedback here than from other places.

Testing spoiler image

>>18036 Hmm It doesn't seem to be working. Can this be fixed?

>>18030 What are you working on anon? >Managing this and job searching is going to be a ass time for me It's going to be even worse after you get the job.

>>17909 I love the upgrade system from Adventure and think it could be used for replayability through unlocking new paths, rewards etc. It could be the emeralds or a new set of items, but I think it would give more value to each one if they had a little gimmick and why collecting them would be important. Could either stack them like in Adventure or only equip one at a time like Megaman. >>18033 I'm kind of glad they mentioned it as I thought 8ch had died so it's nice to see a spiritual successor.

>>18039 I'm surprised it has worked as well as it has so far after seeing the state that place is in.

>>18040 Does /fast/ like Sonic Channel? I wouldn't mind posting links to new fan art and official art if someone isn't already.

>>18042 Do you mean http://sonic.sega.jp/SonicChannel? I absolutely love the traditional Sonic Channel art style. Looking at their website again and seeing all the events reminds me there was supposed to be a concert of the Sonic Adventure Experience group in the UK but with the downtime and everything I didn't follow what happened.

>>18042 Sure, go ahead!

>>18043 It seems like each year they do a different style. This month happens to be Metal Sonic.

I was just going to post a heads up that the site was not performing well and you might encounter some issues when the site suddenly died for a few minutes on me. pls don't do that again 8kun.

>>18045 Yeah, I know, I'm not a fan of the switch to doing different styles every year. Plus the images also got much simpler after that, which outright sucked.

>>18047 I noticed that and wasn't sure if the site was normally like this or not. Also took 40ish minutes to see any new posts even when using auto update.

The site is undergoing a big DDoS attack, and as a result the domains were taken down momentarily to point them to new addresses. Probably also because of this, the anti DDoS measures were cranked up very high and the DDoS protection cookie was expiring all the time, causing the threads to not auto update, the images not to expand in the threads, and an "unknown error" to be thrown up when you tried to to post. You need to refresh any page on 8kun to refresh your DDoS protection cookie and fix these issues, but beware it may expire quickly again. >>18049 It's not normal at all. Then again the site is not completely back together yet, so what's normal or not is not very well defined. Not even all the requested boards are back online yet, we were lucky we got migrated early.

>>18036 >>18037 I'm pretty sure it's a site-wide issue and that we're correctly set up, seeing as spoilers don't work in other boards either. I still wanted to toy around with the options later to see if I could get it working, but I don't think there's anything anyone can do as there's some sort of infinite redirect on the spoiler/file deleted image files. Anyway, sorry for bringing the meta posts here, hopefully things will go back to normal and there will not be any need to do this anymore.

>>18038 3 Sonic projects. One 2D and 2 3D ones.

>>18050 The site is undergoing a big DDoS attack, and as a result the domains were taken down momentarily to point them to new addresses. Oh my god. I can't believe people are really trying to f this place up just when it got back. Do they just not want 4chan or be challenged or something?

>>18052 >One 2D and 2 3D ones Nice. Any info you're willing to share at the moment?

>>18052 Sounds like you have a lot on your plate.

>>18054 One of them is a smash bros clone, the other 2 are 3D games made in BGE and soon to be Unity. The BGE one was already worked on (pic related) but due to issues with framerate I'm opting to go for a low poly approach to continue with instead. The Unity one will be a Modern Sonic one, but this one is planned as some kinda of "open world" game in the mindset of Wind Waker. I only considered the idea, so I got nothing for it worked on yet. But if I get the chance this week to do so thanks to me getting Xfinity Internet in 2 days, I'm going to update my Unity version to the latest build so I can take better advantage of better optimization stuff introduced in later versions. >>18055 It sounds like it but it really boils down to me staying motivated to finished it. I have finished a demo of a Smash Bros styled game in the past, over 5 years to be exact, so the only issue the 2D game has is time spent making unique sprites and the other dealing with keeping the game running smoothly at 60FPS. Which so far I seem to have no issues with so here's hoping.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa1lMpBep9k

>>18025 Took a bit longer than expected, but >>18059 Enjoy & have a good night /fast/!

>>18056 Sounds interesting. Keep us updated. >>18065 Thanks anon! >>18058 It's amazing how these demo takes along with the sonic 3 prototype themes are just being released now, almost thirty years after release.

>>18053 My guess is your casual viewer only heard about 8chan from /pol/ related news, and like halfchan ignores that there are tons of non political boards on the site. Doesn't help articles say shit like "8chan was made for gamergate!" even though it was open before that point, or "white supremacists have a new website!" even though /pol/ isn't allowed on here.

Good morning /fast/

Holy shit spoiler images are back! >>18036 >>17972

>>18068 Mornin' anon. >>18069 Hooray!

So, are you guys doing anything for the holidays?

>>18072 I'll probably spend one of them with family and one of them with you fags, just like every year.

Speaking of holidays I hope we get some Christmas Bump pics.

>>18074 I'm sure we will.

>>18072 Not really. Just another boring christmas with my family

>>18072 A Secret Santa, competing in the ugly sweater contest

>>18072 probably not. I bought that Sonic pizza cutter from the Sega Shop yesterday. Maybe I'll make red/green Christmas themed pizza with meat and vegetables or something and invite people over

>>18077 >secret santa Sounds like fun. What do you expect to recieve >contest What contest?

>>18078 Do you let other people know you're a Sonic fan?

>>18074 I love this Christmas pic

>>18081 What if Bump chao?

>>18083 I could give it a shot

What's the Sonic game you've enjoyed the least so far?

>>18085 Honestly? Probably Shadow The Hedgehog I don't hate the entire game itself (there's even things I thought were pretty fun), but Lost Impact is the most boring Sonic level I've ever played. IMO, at least.

>>18085 Sonic Advance. I just couldn't get used to its level design.

>>18075 >pic

New movie content is slowly coming out. A lot is coming out of the BR comic con right now.

>>18088 >>18089 I love that adult swim bumper.

>>18084 >>18084 I tried making a Bump chao. I did two versions, one closer to the character chao and one closer to the design sheet. I did Sage too but it's not colored yet.

>>18085 Playing wise, ShTH

>>18092 Cute. Are chao mods a thing in SA1/2?

Is anyone else seeing December posts hidden on their end?

>>18097 Not hidden, but I do have to refresh in order to update threads.

>>18092 Aww, that's adorable.

>>18097 Not sure what you mean with hidden but I'm also having to refresh to see new posts in threads. Also they said a while ago that they're doing some bug fixing right now and the site might work funny for a bit.

>>18100 Oh okay I got worried when I woke up and couldn't see the thread from the front page and catalog. Is there a back up in case the site goes down again?

>>18101 I'm assuming it is still going to be accesable through Tor if the clearnet site is down.

>>18101 There's a lot of work to be done on the site so stuff like this will happen. No alternative that I know of.

>>18103 >no alternative fudge. should we not make one?

>>18104 Would people use it? This is the better known place and we're so few even here, trying to move people somewhere else in case of downtime sounds like something that wouldn't have a lot of success.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia097A0pKNM Any Srb2fags in here? I used to play online a decade or so ago, but haven't checked on with the game until now.

>>18108 I've never played it before but they were teasing a new version recently so I was planning on giving it a try and then seeing what the online modes were about and maybe seeing how hard it was to host.

>>18105 I was concerned if this place went down the community would vanish with it too without a backup

>>18111 I assume people would migrate back to 4/sthg/.

https://youtu.be/kKfoeJq99fA Strange pick but I love it.

>>18111 >>18112 There’s the vch.moe bunker which has access to other sites in a webring of sorts.

>>18115 >vch.moe Never heard of it.

>>18117 It was thrown up together at the last second when news that 8chan would be going down hit. Assembled by the /v/ board owner running off his friend’s computer in a basement. It was supposed to shutdown as soon as the site became operational again and expenses but it is still up after that 500 gb/s DDoS strike.

>Sonic 3 was originally gonna have the Drop Dash Huh, you learn something new everyday. Anyone been keeping up with the Sonic beta stuff that's been getting released lately? >>18115 So is there anyway to make some type of Sonic board or something on there?

>>18115 >>18121 Would you all actually migrate to a webring Sonic board in case of another 8kun outage? I'm pretty sure a couple of the sites in the webring are allowing request for new boards for 8chan communities seeking a bunker so I could go and request one and see what happens, but I think it would be a ghost town so I never bothered to do it.

>>18118 >Assembled by the /v/ board owner running off his friend’s computer in a basement. That's not really true, though, is it?

Movie Sonic plush. In terms of the plush itself it looks very nice. Really wish this was of normal Modern Sonic.

>>18122 I imagine most people will just go back to 4/sthg/ until 8kun comes back up in case of an outage. If it's just a simple "Go here to keep up to date and us together" holdover site then I'm all for it

>>18125 To add to this, if it's too much of a hassle on your end then I understand

>>18122 I would >>18124 this is nice. It would be even better if it had eyebrows. It also looks like the tan parts of his ears are missing. It's a good prototype though >Really wish this was of normal Modern Sonic. I have a feeling Modern Sonic isn't going to get much merchandise for awhile like what happened when Sonic Boom was new. We didn't get new figures/plush from 2014 until 2017 I think. I could see it happening again with the movie

>>18127 Not to mention a few extra quills here and there, but I don't know if those are part of the design or not. >I have a feeling Modern Sonic isn't going to get much merchandise for awhile like what happened when Sonic Boom was new. Wouldn't really surprise me, we're at the least due for a similar amount of wait time until the new main game. At least Sega distanced themselves from the movie so I guess there's some hope that situation doesn't repeat itself. Then again maybe they'll want back into the fold somehow now that it apparently has gained some traction. >tfw 2 more full years until the next main game God dammit, this is going to be painful. What does /sthg/ think of western Sonic merchandise in general? Am I the only one that thinks it's rather lackluster?

>>18127 >>18125 Basically this. If it's just a place to keep people up to date & it's not a hassle to set up, I'd be fine with it. >>18129 IIRC, the next Sonic game is set to come out in 2021 so we may not wait much longer on a new title. Hell, we'll probably get an announcement next year on what the next game is gonna be. Also yeah, I do like some of the merch that gets released in the West, but I am kinda jealous of the cool shit Japan gets in Sonic merch. At least a little international store for people to order from JP would be cool.

>>18130 Yeah, I think they said the next mainline game will be in 2021, but they always aim for an end of the year release date so that means that we'll have to wait all of 2020 and pretty much all of 2021 as well. About the announcement I guess it depends on how they want to handle it. Forces was announced (if we count the trailer at the anniversary party as an announcement) earlier than usual if I remember correctly but still, they didn't really say much until later. It's gonna be so much fun going down the road to the release with you guys and watching the reveal streams and everything else together. I remember being here for a few big streams and it was lovely, looking forward to that so much.

>>18131 One thing I think about is what they're gonna do for the next title, in terms of a big hook. Like, Sonic Colors had the Wisps, Generations had Classic Sonic, Lost World being its different gameplay style & the debut of the D6, Forces being character creator/Infinite/return of Boost & a more serious story compared to previous games, etc. I'm curious what big hook they could come up with for the next mainline title since we're probably not getting Classic in the next game.

>>18129 I think Japan does get a lot of the cooler merch. I wish we had more stuff like that too. >>18130 I'm kind of worried it'll be another nostalgia game instead of doing something new. I liked what SA2 did for 10th where most of the game was it's own thing but if you did everything you unlocked something classic which was special at the time. Maybe something like Odyssey where you can unlock 8 bit versions of the stage soundtrack.

>>18129 Western merchandise feels more generic. It all reuses the same small set of designs for everything. In Japan they seem to make brand new art for special promotions every so often and there's a mix of cool and cute so everyone's bound to like something eventually.

>>18131 You've earned the award for most wholesome post in this thread

>>18133 Unfortunately their attempts based on nostalgia (Gens, Mania) have done better than those that weren't (LW… Forces?) so who knows what's on their mind.

>>18136 What I mean is I'm still waiting for a Mania like release for Modern Sonic, if it ever happens. Taking the parts people liked and adding new things to it, even if Mania had to mix old in it too.

>>18125 But every time that happens and /fast/ gets mentioned there, more and more people will migrate from there to here. Eventually all the shitpostong and drama from there will find its way here as long as here keeps getting advertised there.

>>18138 Except nothing bad there will ever be tolerated here even if they bring it with them. We have active mods here

>>18125 I wouldn't. 4/sthg/ has too high of a shitposting volume that it drowns out any attempts quality posting. The few times I lurked there after 8chan went down, if there were any /fast/ veterans posting there, I didn't see them and their posts weren't getting any (you)'s.

>>18139 That is one thing I prefer about smaller image boards, they tend to have better mods. People can still funpost, but spam gets boring pretty quick. I understand why some don't want mods, but I think it's only bad if the mods are too strict.

>>18139 Not him but I hope it doesn't get to that. Shitposting can be subjective and would be difficult to moderate and get under control without going overboard and stepping on people's toes.

At least the images are back for me. I just wish the page wouldn't auto refresh every time I look away from the tab for a while and then get cut off while I'm typing out a comment. Anywho, ProjectAnon here, I've learned how to mod SA1DX so I'm going to test my stages out in SA1 then recreate that for my low poly game to cut time out between making characters function right vs level design testing.

>>18143 Sounds like a good plan. Good luck!

>>18141 I just don't want to see anyone here pretending to be me to falseflag. That shit gets old quick.

>>17906 >Sonic X Season 3 to finally air in Japan: They keep beating around the bush with Sonic X, they've been doing it for so many years with all those re-releases and reairings, I wish they would give us something like it again already, or at the very least new merch. Sonic X merch has always been my favorite by far.

>>18146 I wonder why they decided to only recently air it. Is it possible there were problems behind getting it to air?

>>18147 Maybe, if I'm remembering the story correctly season 3 was made because it was ordered by 4kids because Sonic X did well, unlike the first 2 seasons which were made entirely by SoA to be licensed, so who knows. I guess they were planning on airing them earlier though considering they also recorded the Japanese voices back then. I hope the Japanese fans make lots of art, their art is lovely and I love the Sonic X art style, so it'd be a great combination.

>>18113 Not feeling the melody much but the orchestration is great.

I need more animations I need them badly very badly.

>>18152 Too sick, lemme sleep

Ok, need some help. If ANYONE here modded SA1/2 before, how can I get my mod to work in the Mod Manager itself? I got the tools for modding and whatnot, got modded stuff to work in the Project Manger, and when I test it with PM it works there, but when I play it in the MM it doesn't show up in game. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Plz help.

>>18145 That's why tripcodes exist. Not ideal, but it's there if needed. >>18146 I know it's a comment complaint but so much of Sonic X is NOT Sonic and friends and I find it hard to watch. Even the arc adapting the games felt off. Is that still in the last season, or do they lighten up on it a bit?

https://twitter.com/SonicTeamJr/status/1203369759460511744?s=20 IT'S OUT!

>>18157 Season 3 is a smidge better in that respect, worse off in other respects, namely animation. They could have removed Chris from the season and the plot itself would have barely changed. I'm still pissed they teased us by starting Season 3 with an adult, less-annoying Chris, only to turn him into a kid. I know Sonic has always referenced Dragon Ball, but who the fuck rips off Dragon Ball GT?

What's the best way to play Sonic 1? Is there any good improvement hacks, or should I stay with the mobile port emulated on PC?

>>18163 Just get yourself RetroArch, download a core, the ROM and play it.

>>18163 I've always done it with Kega Fusion, never had issues with it.

Ok, so I found out it was just mod conflict as to why my mod wasn't loading in the Mod Manager. Ignore my post from earlier. What that means is the DC Convention mod is basically overriding my mod, but there's also something else because some parts of my modded stage doesn't go through right and some of the edits to Emerald Coast gets undone but not all of it. Sucks because playing SADX without the mods to make it less glitchy and awkward, well, sucks, if I want to test my levels but want the "authentic Dreamcast" experiences. Oh well, at least for now I can continue modding without being concerned it wasn't working at all in the Mod Manager.

>>17988 >Will they ever start putting logic into Sonic wearing Headphones!? Am I just supposed to assume he has some Echo-location sensors on the sides of his skull or something?

>>18168 If the volume was set to really loud, he'd be able to hear even if he's wearing them like pic related. Maybe Sonic intentionally chooses headphones like this so he can still hear the outside world while listening to music, as well as to avoid eardrum damage.

>>18168 Despite the inconsistency I love pictures of them wearing human headphones, it's really cute. >>18169 The cover of that CD is 20/10.

>>18167 Yes, there are many mods that are incompatible with each other, even if there's nothing similar between them. Your best bet is to try it on the vanilla version.

Now that character mods are taking off for SA2, do you guys think we'll get decent custom stages too like the 2D Genesis games do?

>>18174 I sure hope so. I've been waiting years for some good new sa2 levels.

>>18172 Well it does techically, everytime I update my mod it auto disable the other mods so I was basically tricking myself out thinking it wasn't working at all when in fact it was, just the other mods from the BetterSDX pack overrided it. For now, I'll just keep working on it and hopefully get to keep most of the mods that really help make the gameplay stable running while I work on my mod, until I figure out a way to make my mod work with all of the pack without problems, if possible.

>>18157 A lot of people have that issue, I'm so starved for character interactions and for the characters to show some character that I'll take it. The show had a lot of quirks and small details that I just ended up really liking it.

>>18175 Me too. Hopefully the tools will be easy to understand and use so anyone interested can make their own. Oh, and alternate outfits. I saw in Somecallmejohnny's youtube video that someone created an alt for the Blaze mod that was her Chinese new year dress from Forces Speed Battle

>>18174 >custom stages Maybe >decent I don't think so, judging by the custom maps that have been made for the newer games that have better mod support. I'll admit I haven't dug into it too much but most of what I've seen was more like polished debug stages rather than something you'll find in an actual game.

>>18178 I didn't thought about that… I would definetly love a mod pack with all the alternative outfits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sFzelFgnXg Thoughts?

>>18183 it ok, the front looks off tho.

>>18183 I'm amazed it was ported in this soon, but it's a nice thing to have. Looking at them ingame, I gotta admit that movie Sonic's shoes are the best or at least top 3 best I've seen Sonic wear so far.

>>18186 >top 3 How many different shoes for Sonic are there? >classic >adventure DX >soap >riders >movie >???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyAnf9PDyDM So anything from this years SHC that caught your attention?

>>18189 Sonic 2 Advanced Edit holy shit I was not expecting this to come back Hellfire Saga The SA2 Character Mods I Made You a Salad

Have some fear, Mephiles is here: https://cytu.be/r/8chanmnia Ugandan Knuckles will fight later

>>18191 >https://cytu.be/r/8chanmania fixed >>18192 fug, missed it, god dammit.

Ugandan knux is on I think

>>18194 Thanks, now "Knuckles" will be after the commercials

>>18196 >commercials

>>18198 Yeah there was some lore about that on the wiki.Yuuka won the championship but was arrested by the IRS, she took Ugandan Knucks with her because she thought he was cute upon rescuing him from Dr Morbis. Anyway, he's up for round 2 soon.

Ugandan Knux vs DARK DONALD is now

For Round 3, it's Chen fought and lost to Lil Knux in 8chanmania.he might just win!

>>18203 kek

>>18204 THE FINALE IS NOW KNUCKLES VS YUSEI FUDO

>>18205 fuck this shit

>>18207 Still, it was a fun battle. I actually nominated Yusei in a previous mania. Ugandan Knuckles will return

>>17915 >>17915 >>17915

The Sonic Adventure Music Experience UK concert was held today. I don't expect anyone from here to have gone to it but it would be pretty cool if someone did. There used to be anons that went to Sonic conventions and events back at /sthg/.

>>18214 >>18212 >>18213 Gosh, this is wonderful. I wish I were there.

Have one more then.

>>18216 Meant to quote >>18215 Also fuck I want this t-shirt.

>>18217 Looking good! Though you can always commission one yourself.

Today, in 2004, Sonic Mega Collection Plus was released for the ps2 and xbox in Japan. It still surprises me to this day how many people were first introduced to the franchise by this game.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-UzyvZz7Y Here's the (almost complete) London SAME concert.

https://twitter.com/SSF1991/status/1203823110320984070?s=20 >So um…Geoff Keighley said (12:33 in the stream) "Sonic may make an appearance of some kind inside of The Game Awards", and "may do something fun with the movie that's coming out" https://pscp.tv/w/1gqGvgVwdOeJB

>>18220 Nice! Looking forward to giving this a watch later! >>18221 The next tweet makes this really fucking worrying, but I refuse to speculate on it or I'd turn into a very bitter person.

>>18224 Get ready…

>>18221 Will probably just be a new trailer, or something. Wouldn't expect too much, tbh

Is there anyone working on a Bump in Sonic 3 hack? I want to port the sprites over from the S1 hack but I don't want to step on anyone's toes if they're already doing so

>>18229 AFAIK no one has done it yet, so go for it.

>>18229 That would be quite radical. Would you also port her bump attack?

>>18234 I'm not knowledgeable enough in 68k asm to do such a thing. Of course, once I finish porting over the sprites I'll release the source code as well so anyone who has the ability to do so can themselves

>>18237 Sweet. Best of luck to you, anon!

what the fuck do you fags do all day

IDW 13 raw cover art

>>18219 It was this year that I finally beat every game in that collection. I ought to view the credits of that game since I never did Although technically, there’s still a few challenges left hanging in the GG Mean Bean Puzzle Mode still left hanging

They are pushing the Sonic movie so hard, it seems they're always doing a promotion or releasing art or something else and it's still months until the premiere. It's become a bit annoying even now but I can't imagine how bad it'll be in a few months.

>>18242 Part of me thinks it's because of how bad the movie was received after the initial trailer, so they're playing catch-up with the new Sonic design. And if that's the case, that is kinda Paramount's fault, given they thought that design was gonna be a success.

Kanemaru won't voice Sonic in the film. I shouldn't be surprised but I never gave it any though before. I think this will be the first time JP Sonic is given another VA in decades. It is not a good feel. http://www.tssznews.com/2019/12/10/sonic-movie-jp-trailer-reveals-different-va/

Is there any Sonic game you wish to play, but never had the chance? My answer would be the Rush titles. >>18245 >I think this will be the first time JP Sonic is given another VA in decades I thought Junichi was the only JP VA for Sonic? Kinda disappointed, tbh.

Oh wow, I didn't know this place came back. Happy to see it.

>>18247 Yup. Even got a back-up just in case, so welcome back anon

>>18246 I never really got a chance to play the Advance games, nor Sonic Battle. >>18248 >Even got a back-up just in case That's good to hear.

>>18247 Hey man, welcome back! >>18246 The Rush games as well and the Advance ones. I started playing the Advance games but I stopped after 2 to play Battle and haven't started back yet. I really should get to that. I wanted to play the Rush games afterwards too. >I thought Junichi was the only JP VA for Sonic I think he's done 99% of every JP Sonic appearances, I think early on someone else did one thing or two. Also, the Werehog had a different VA. I wish there was this much care put into the English voice acting. >>18249 >Sonic Battle Do play battle anon.

>>18250 >Shard I gotta stop putting off reading Archie Sonic

>>18258 Same here. The fact that it was always its own universe different from the games and more based on satam always threw me off.

>>18265 >>18258 Hey, me too. I've been meaning to do it for so many years, I've always wanted to enjoy more of the cool art and memorable scenes. Maybe we should get organized and start reading together, or organize a new ride

>>18267 Archie storytime thread?

slow

>>18267 >>18268 I suppose I could set up an Archie storytime thread in 2020. Would be pretty fun to do, tbh. >>18274 I've tried posting a little bit earlier, but I had trouble getting the post through.

>>18275 How many issues would be a reasonable number to do per day? And just out of curiosity since I forgot, how many were dumped during the ride each day? I ask because I wouldn't want something like with the cytube streams which lasted hours each day every day on weekdays, I unfortunately just don't have enough time in the day for that, as much as I would like. kek are we really considering this?

>>18276 I don't see myself posting several a day very feasible (even tho it would cut down on time), but I suppose it wouldn't be impossible to do like, 1 day. Depends on what folks would want, tbh.

>>18277 Yeah, there has to be some sort of compromise I guess. The problem is that there are hundreds and hundreds of Archie issues, so one a day probably means a storytime that will last more than a year.

>>18274 Honestly I kind of enjoy the slower post rate even if it's ironic for the name. I used to like forums as you could catch up at your own pace and even if you took awhile to post you could still join in. With things like reddit or modern halfchan, the posting is so fast if you aren't on it constantly you will miss out on threads. Not to mention people shitposting just to keep the thread alive against other fast threads. So while I wouldn't want the posting to go to a complete halt, I can appreciate a slower board too.

>>18283 I prefer some middle ground as it gets really boring when there are no new posts for hours, but I can agree that it's also boring when the posting is so fast there are hundreds of new post made each day since everything is so ephemeral it barely matters and quality goes to shit, plus it's also more difficult to enjoy the experience because of the speed.

New Sonic Christmas animation coming tomorrow! https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/1204826813899272192?s=19 >>18289 Yeah. I also think there's something to be said about the speed of one Sonic thread on a board about other stuff vs. a Sonic thread on an entire Sonic board. If that makes any sense.

>>18290 It's… it's just what I wanted. Thanks Santa. Is this gonna be Classic or Modern?

>>18291 They didn't say, so I guess we just gotta wait I'd be cool with either or, but since last year was the Mania Plus special, I would like a Modern one this year

>>18292 I also would like a Modern one since that's what I prefer for animations, but the picture is giving me more Classic vibes than Modern. Still cool though. Just noticed the difference in views between the TSRO and Mania Adventures animations, it's pretty big so I imagine that might have also played a part.

>>18293 I saw a post mentioning that it looks like the Chao Garden from SA2, so who knows? Either way, we're getting some nice Hesse animations tomorrow.

>>18294 Yeah, I saw it too and now I feel pretty stupid, it does look close. Here's hoping. >Hesse animations I don't think he animated any of these, just directed them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDTah50-rFQ who the fug is this

>>18296 What's this supposed to be? It seems like a picture of Tails.

>>18297 Yeah, it seems like Tails from the colors but I can't tell his shape from the video. It's next month's JP wallpaper hint. They post a hint the month before releasing a wallpaper and over time they've done different types of them, showing either only a part of the image or different parts out of order. They've been making them increasingly difficult and now they've come up with this thing, although if I'm reading this right they're going to do various types for 2020 and not just one.

what?!

Just played a level of NiGHTS with my parents watching. My father asked if it was Sonic and was initially unsure if it was because the style was that recognizable or if he was just that unfamiliar with games as a whole (ala parents calling every game console “a Nintendo” regardless of brand) They liked it and found the Sega Heritage Interview interesting.

>>18299 Apparently, it's just a good night tweet >>18300 That's nice. I really wish SEGA made another NIGHTS game, it's been way too long since the last one.

>>18301 Maybe one day, Naka and Ohshima could drop by Sega to help with a third NiGHTS game if they’re not too busy so as to make it even better than JoD. Also found it funny when they first mistook him for Chinese when I said Takashi Iizuka’s name then forgot he was Japanese and thought he was Filipino when they saw him on screen for the first time.

I guess we're pretty lucky we got migrated early on, some poor boards are still waiting and will have to keep waiting until the very end of the year hoping their board will be okay.

>>18303 Saw that, and yes it is a pity that a ton of boards aren’t back yet. /scrub/ and /1cc/ had links to torrents and arcade game dumps, for example. At least /pdfs/ made it though. Glad the 4 month wait didn’t entirely kill off this board.

>>18305 I saw a lot of people requesting /pdfs/ so I'm glad it's finally made it through. I'm honestly quite surprised people flocked back here after so long, and it happened pretty quickly too. Really cool.

>>18306 Indeed. If only the site were in better condition for a smoother return and transition for the users

>>18298 >>18296 I guess my colors are off as I thought it was Super Shadow

Is it 9AM PST yet.

>>18309 Good things come for those who wait.

>>18310 But I've already waited a lot

>just discovered Sonic Runners ost My god it's so good https://youtube.com/watch?v=8Kg5O-78k9I https://youtube.com/watch?v=0xurfUSmKYw

>>18312 Enjoy anon, it's got some really nice tunes.

>>18312 Runners is a pretty underrated game, tbh.

>>18314 That's the one being revived by fans right?

>>18315 Yeah, I haven't checked up on the project in a while, I think they were close to releasing a public beta last time I did. I also remember some drama about the developers harvesting user data or something like that.

chao merchandise coming. the shirt and cup are adorable. I wish the shirt was a bit cheaper but it's not too bad though

>>18317 The shirt and cup are so fucking cute! Animation drops in 30 minutes, I am so ready for this.

>>18317 New chao garden when?

>>18317 non-ant versions https://shop.sega.com/collections/sega-chao-in-space/products/sonic-chao-in-space-gray-tee https://shop.sega.com/collections/sega-chao-in-space/products/sonic-chao-in-space-white-mug 10/10 keep it up

>>18320 >>18317 Aww. I thought they were printing the poster. Want the mug though

>>18317 >Once a player finds an egg in a Sonic the Hedgehog Chao Garden, the wording here makes me wonder if they really are working on a Chao Garden game or app and they just copy/pasted something from it into this description. "Chao Garden" as the title alone probably wouldn't attract as much attention as putting Sonic's name in the title too since there are lot of newer fans and kids who only know Sonic from Mania and Forces or the Boom cartoon but that's probably wishful overthinking

10 minutes lads

>>18326 What's happening in 10 mins?

>>18327 The new animation drops!

>>18326 Be at rest eggfriend, patience is of the essence.

>>18327 the new christmas animation >>18290

>>18328 Hey fuck you sloth, I waited, now it's time for that sweet delivery.

>>18332 wonderful >dbz aura sounds Is that legal?

>>18332 That… that was great man. This kind of stuff is my favorite, I would pay real money for more.

>>18332 That was very cute. The little animations make these long ass waits for the next game a lot easier.

>>18332 This is so much nostalgia wanking and I don't even care, fucking loved it. >That Escape from the city Chao version at the end My heart

>>18332 this is adorable

rip

bump

Is something supposed to be happening tonight?

>>18341 Other than the animation dropping earlier I don't think so. Why?

>>18342 Just asking. I don't keep up with Sonic news all that well but I can't shake the feeling something else is happening tonight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKJgxnEBWPk >>18343 >I can't shake the feeling

>>18344 Thanks for the new music. Found this while looking for stuff to listen to. If you listen closely, you can hear the Sonic 2 ending theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9LlPOFcy4A

>>18343 Wait hold on, The Game Awards are apparently tonight, in some 45 minutes. It was mentioned movie Sonic was going to make an appearance or something.

>>18346 If you've never listened to Hardline you definitely should, it's Johnny's band from the 90s. That disk, Double Eclipse, is very good.

>>18345 If anyone wants to take a peek, here's /v/'s stream: https://dlive.tv/MarkMann If I got it right it should start in 5 minutes or so.

>>18348 "Zonic" won best e-sports coach. (Heh) And Smash Ultimate took home the best fighting game award. An alternate stream starts now at: https://cytu.be/r/Motobug

Where's the Sonic ad, I want to go to bed and I've taken enough cancer already.

I just noticed the chao in the frame in his ship are the same chao that later come to his rescue ouch

Missed the awards show, did they show anything Sonic related there?

>>18353 No, apparently they decided at the last moment not to show what they said they would. I watched hours of that garbage in vain.

>>18354 O-oh. Well, thank goodness I fell asleep instead of watching!

BTW, tonight I'll finally storytime #23 of IDW Sonic. And hopefully, I can do Tangle & Whisper this weekend.

>>18356 I was wondering when it was going to happen, I've been looking forward to it.

What are you guys going to do over the weekend?

>>18359 Issue #23 storytime here!

>>18358 Tbh, I'll probably get around to playing the Rush games if I can find a good rom for it.

>>18361 Fuck, that reminds me I should have downloaded all the Sonic ROMs I could back when I last went searching for ROMs, given how unstable and unpredictable the ROM sites have been as of late. If you find good ROMs share a link if you can, otherwise I might search for them myself later.

>>18367 Yeah if I can find a good bunch of ROMs, I'll probably put up a MEGA link on here for anyone looking for some.

Seems there's a new Sonic promotion at Arby's. https://twitter.com/Arbys/status/1205517735792447490

>>18369 Nice. When was the last time the Sonic series had a deal with a place like Arby's?

>>18374 Does Hooters count?

>>18375 Well, I suppose they count. BTW, T/W storytime! >>18376

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-hbo_ODo_w Post music that could be from a Sonic game but isn't. The beginning and middle parts of this remind me of Colors strongly for some reason.

>>18385 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtErLZQpbXI

>>18390 Cute Amy. BTW, ** anyone else getting "can't reach site" messages when trying to post?

>>18391 No, everything works well for me. I was getting a "post took to long to submit" error or something like that a few days ago, but deleting the cookies fixed it for me.

what

>>18394 T/W #3 storytime!

Been watching BSC play SatBK. I gotta say it's surprising how fun the combat and boss battles look, though they do mention the combat could be better and not break Sonic's speed when attacking. Anyone here play SatBK? What's your experience of the game?

How many times have you watched this so far? >>18403 I still need to play this, along with Secret Rings.

Anything Sonic related you guys saw over the weekend? Also tonight, I should be able to storytime T/W 4 >>18405 Cute

>>18406 Not much honestly, just the storytimes here and some of the reactions to Chao in Space. It was sweet seeing literally everyone loving it. Other than that some movie stuff but I don't really care about that. Looking forward to the storytime tonight anon.

IDW #24 covers. I love the pixel art one, it's very pretty.

Does anyone here still watch the Sonic official streams?

>>18409 Those are some fantastic covers, especially love the colors on the Starline one. >>18410 It's been a long time since I saw one, but that's mostly because we don't get any major news from those streams nowadays.

>>18412 T/W Storytime!

I used to have bookmarks of a lot of JP accounts making great art a few years ago. As /sthg/ went to shit I lost interest in collecting art to post and stopped checking the bookmarks. I wanted to revisit them now to get some new art to post but most of the accounts are deleted and most of the ones still standing don't have much to do with Sonic anymore. It's sad, makes me think all the art that has been lost with those accounts that no longer exist, never to be seen again.

>>18416 >jojo fan art of best boi rip JP sanic accounts

>>18416 There's still some artists out there, but it makes sense some artists will move on. It's been years since I last saved art to post but I've been into it again lately.
