I posted it on my other account but here , have a version with a little extra!
OKAY SO the fan game idea. Stick with me on this one I promise.
So it'd be an isekai story. Kinda like how you play as yourself as a pokemon in the mystery dungeon games, same thing would happen here. You'd get a character based on a personality test, and then you wake up in the Sonic universe as that character. It's never explained what happened in that universe prior to your arrival or anything. You have no abilities, because it's not like any of us know how to spin dash or fly or something. You'd learn abilities as the gane progresses though.
Pretty early on, you find that Eggman is using a machine (that I haven't named yet) that tears holes into other universes and timelines like a seam ripper and siphons resources from them to boot. He then uses those resources to grow his empire. In fact, by the time you show up, Eggman has taken over about half of the area the fan game is taking place in. It's implied that that machine is why you ended up in this mess in the first place. To make matters worse, you also eventually find out that this machine is about to self destruct from being overloaded with power and inundated with general interdimensional waste. If that happens, it will start tearing reality itself apart, completely messing uptime, space, everything. You're assigned a sidekick based on who you're playing as, and they help you go take down Eggman so you can go home.
Other stuff about this game idea:
I want to bring back hub worlds tbh. I miss that about Adventure 1.
I'd also want to let players make plenty of save files, mainly because of the next bullet point.
Currently, I want to make six playable characters: Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge and Shadow. I know I don't want to make Knuckles' and Rouge's gameplay be about treasure hunting, but I'm not fully sure yet what their play styles would be.
The other playable characters would be NPCs in said hub world. You can chat with them, they might have side quests for you, or you can just not interact with them at all. I'd want the hub world to be cozy and a place that people would actually want to hang out in.
Sonic x Shadow Gens beat me to this, but in lieu of red rings, I want to make the collectibles be stray/lost Chao. At the end of the level, they're taken to a Chao rescue being run by Vanilla and Cream (and Cheese). Vanilla holds onto these Chao and lets you feed them, pet them, etc. You can also donate rings to Vanilla's rescue to unlock things like new toys for the Chao, more space, and other stuff. I can't make it as robust as SA2B's Chao Garden or my head might explode.
Instead of achievements, I want to make Silver an NPC who gives you a scrapbook. He tells you that he knows you'll figure out how to stop Eggman, and that you can document your journey in it. Basically, this would be a series of pictures that unlock from doing certain things (like collecting all the Chao in a level, getting a high score etc) Why Silver is there is anyone's guess; I just only recently realised that I never reay paid attention to him, and now i want to. So I'm including him here haha.
I'm using these polls i keep posting to figure out what might or might not work in terms of designing the gameplay. Right now, it seems like people might want lives to be a toggled option, people like the boost gameplay as well as physics-based/momentum gameplay, people like both 2D and 3D, and the story of the game is pretty important.
Atticus would love these
pokemon trainer type of nails lmao
From the heart of unimaginable suffering, I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported my family 🙏🏻
Right now, famine is hitting us harder than ever, my heart cries whenever I go to the market to buy any basic necessities! The prices are crazy, and most days my children survive on just bread Hunger and thirst are destroying us, and cooking on fire increases our suffering unbearably! Severe eye and chest sensitivity, in addition to constant stomach pain due to the type of food and the way it is cooked.
All this while we flee from one place to another in fear of bombing, bullets, and imminent danger! I cannot describe what I feel, but it is a feeling beyond exhaustion!
Despite the exhaustion, your support gives us strength and I hope you will not let us down
If you can donate, please do so, or at least help us by sharing, so we can reach those who can Your kindness truly keeps us going
>> Our campaign is vetted by gazavetters list at Momen & his family
Gaza is full of oppression #The worst is yet to come #Genocide #A resilient people
Save me Ancient builder tribe gajinkas, save me…
Structure constructors or something, idk, I never played the Minecraft.
In the nether fortress crafting my Withers, and by Withers, heh… let’s justr say.. inter dimensional societal collapse…
Usual design rant below
I believed veils would work great for the Ancient builders as not only can they hide their identity efficiently, keeping them relatively ambiguous, but also protect from the weather in the generally warmer climates they were largely stationed in, and equally work as face masks against disease and virus‘, all whilst still being able to be stylised in different ways, allowing the shape language to remain distinct.
Other visual inspirations were pirate and sailor clothing for the cold costal tribe, Ancient Greek and farmer attire for the warm costal tribe, and funnily enough: sci-fi desert planet Civilisation concept art for the desert tribes design.
Aswell as ofcourse their own respective structures and the loot within.
The colouration does differ in my head from what I rendered, I believe a lot of the little trinkets and details would have different colors, but I didn’t want the shillouettes to clash or melt into one another in this lineless style so here are the base colors for now, as I tried the former and it didn’t look good.
Look I know they were like a massive imperial force or whatever but you cannot tell me a group of artists inventors and architects that relied heavily on their semi sentient bio-mechanical hellspawn machines (and some necromancy) to do their bidding, bunkering up immediately once the odds were no longer in their favour, could handle a punch or two.
These people probably looked like starving artists, especially after the overworled was turned into a withering shithole for a couple years, legends was definitely a fanfiction they wrote about themselves. /j
Some new Pokémon trainers came by to help with some ranch work, my thanks goes to everyone who showed up and both #NaranjaAcademy and #UvaAcademy for continuing to send trainers my way, my hearts out to you all.
Also! Two litleo’s have been taken in by a pair of trainers, and the other three are up for adoption, while I would love to keep these little guys, they keep trying to fight every other pokemon on the ranch, and due to a recent resident we just received, I don’t have the time or hands to let these guys be.
So at this point in time we have two boys and one girl up for adoption, dm me if you are willing to adopt these guys!
