Hi,

Quoteno need to hurry.  8)

That's exactly my state of mind regarding Sonic GX.

I'm not providing any release date anymore because I honestly know it will take time (years) to complete the project and reach the quality we are targetting.
Plus, I'm getting many events in my private life this year that slow down my productivity.

If you want an info about the game, we are currently working on the Bonus Stage, which has to be both technical / fun to play. It's basically another game in the game ahah!!

So no worries, all is fine -- it's my only project for the Amstrad and the game will ship one day for sure :)
I'm keeping the fun at creating this game and that's the only thing that matters for now :)

Hi,

thanks for the update! 

My deepest respect for the ability to keep up your motivation for years. Take the time you need.

Amazing!! I just wonder if you made sonic a bit smaller, would help, and center the screen a bit higher.

I've been replaying Sonic 1 again, MD, sometimes enemys catch you out as you jump.

Thats the issue with Sonic, he moves so fast, its open to off screen enemys catching you unaware.

I think that will not help at all, because it is based on the Game Gear version. But, who know!

Maybe you could make Sonic a bit more wearing some overalls, maybe a red cap and also a mustache would be pretty cool, I think. I also strongly believe (and thusly expect you to obey) that there should be some mushrooms to play with (you get the grip) and the game would be a lot better with tubes allowing you to go underground. Please implement all my suggestions as to make your game not a total failure. You're welcome.

Hola a todos, lo primero norecess gracias por estar trabajando en el nuevo sonic gx... somos muchas las personas que estamos pendientes de tu trabajo en sonic gx y decirte que cada pequeño avance que hagas nos sentará genial, ya que es mucha la ilusión que ha generado esta version para amstrad plus y gx4000, maquinas con grandes posibilidades y a las que la industria les dió la espalda de una manera tan cruel.

Este post no solo es de agradecimiento, querría pediros como ha ocurrido en otros proyectos, y teniendo en cuenta que se acercan pronto las navidades..que subierais a la red una pequeña demo aunque fuese solo de una pequeña parte del primer nivel , y así poder  empezar a ver realmente el potencial de tu version sonic gx.

Espero considereis la peticion., y teniendo en cuenta la larga espera, ya que con nuestros amstrad plus y c4cpc esto ya seria posible.


Muchas gracias .. esperamos noticias frescas!

norecess464

Thank you @nanrc20 , your message counts a lot for me !!

Nope, unfortunately, a public release of a preview of the game will never happen, that's not how I like to work. I know it may appear to be a very frustrating process, but from my past experience I consider the releasing of previews as a personal motivation killer...

Entiendo tu postura norecess.. y creo que en el fondo yo haría exactamente lo mismo.
Muchas gracias por responder, solo podemos darte las gracias por todo el esfuerzo que conlleva un proyecto de este calibre.


Estaremos atentos a cualquier noticia..

Muchas gracias!


P.D:Demostradle a todo el mundo de lo que es capaz un Amstrad plus.

Quote from: BSC on 19:05, 02 August 21¡Advertencia! Ligera distracción temática por delante: tengo un GX4000 que compré en Londres en 1993. ¿Qué hardware adicional necesitaría para ejecutar, por ejemplo, Sonic GX o Soundtracker DMA? Estoy pensando en un keyboad principalmente, pero afaik no hay tal cosa como un teclado externo para el GX. Esto podría haber sido preguntado en los foros antes, así que si eso es cierto: linky por favor :)
En realidad, ¡esa es una buena pregunta! Sonic GX requiere 64Kb de RAM, por lo que se ejecutará en un GX-4000 sin modificar. Pero, necesitas comprar un C4CPC para poder lanzar el cartucho. CPR (desafortunadamente, no planeamos distribuir cartuchos originales que pueda conectar directamente a la consola). Puede PM @gerald para obtener más información sobre el C4CPC, es un dispositivo potente a un precio decente.

En cuanto al Soundtracker DMA de @Zik, requiere un Amstrad Plus. No le recomiendo que intente extender un Amstrad GX-4000 existente a una "computadora", ya que mataría un GX-4000 en funcionamiento para tal proyecto, y el resultado sería un montón de cable + hardware visible ... Entonces, en cambio, mi recomendación sería intentar comprar la cosa real, me refiero al Amstrad Plus: buena suerte para encontrar uno a un precio barato.
Hola Norecess, ¿algún progreso? No nos subes capturas nurvas de si Sonic GX4000 está evolucionando ?. ¿El desarrollo sigue en curso? o lo has dejado de lado. Gracias y salu2

Thanks for asking for an update, your interest in this project is really appreciated !

So, some news...
The engine for the Bonus Stage is now partly done and we are now tweaking it for better gameplay / visuals.

A source close to the project said "it's looking like a Genesis game". 8)

More news about it later this year !

Here is some news regarding the development progress of Sonic GX, with a focus on the new Special Stage introduced today.

While still being a WIP (disclaimer: expect some changes); it's now advanced enough to provide a preview.

The gameplay is inspired (not a copy!) from the Special Stage as found in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Megadrive. Of course, it has been adapted to match the Amstrad GX-4000 limitations.

Gameplay description: with the Special Stage, Sonic can't lose anything, only wins an extra new life. He must collect rings on time, while avoiding holes and bombs.

We are still working hard on Sonic GX. For sure, it's taking more time than expected, but there is no need to rush its development  ;)
