Dr.Robotnik's challange

The idea of this game is: What if Robotniks ship is invincible and instead of trying to defeat Robotnik your goal was to see how long you could survive. So I created Survival Mode. To play survival mode on the menu use the up and down buttons to select and start to play it. To play survival mode just press the down once and then press start.

After that you are Sonic now and Robotnik is following you in his ship and your goal is to run away from him.








So post a screenshot of how long you can survive being chased by Robotnik.

 

Very realistic backgrounds in game, very interesting indeed. Also, the game dosen't load at all, I get the "Make your selcetion now screen" but it freezes.

 

That is strange it works for me in both regen and kega fusion simply use the UP and DOWN buttons to make your selection and then press START.


Edit it does not work in GENS because GENS is not an accurate emulator Regen and Kega fustion are more accurate try Kega fusion or Regen.

 

Ahh, that could be the reason. I Run Gens, do you have a link to the newest revision of Regen?

There are two different versions 0.972 and 0.972D D includes a debugger but it runs slower for you I would recommend the regular Regen.

 

The physics are very different, it isn't the same as a normal game for the genesis. But it's hella-fun.

 

Glad you liked. Also speaking of physics I just found out that sonic retro has a physics guide I will apply that to my program.

 

Nice. Good luck. also, it'd be better to use a foreground layout too, it seems a little redundant to run around on the boundary. But that is really your choice.

 

I played it on hardware:

Quite interesting really, though it does seem kinda dull, good effort though. One thing I would like to see is the ball and chain moving circularly rather than simply diagonally, using a table of sine wave data would be suited for it, also, in survival mode when playing as Sonic, when Robotnik is directly at your position, he seems to twitch out left/right a lot, perhaps having him remain facing the last direct he was set when he was moving, would make it seem a little more natural:

Works fine generally speaking, though you should probably look into the software more thoroughly, a lot of graphical glitches here and there:

Including Sonic's jumping graphics cocking up when he's hurt and is flashing. Perhaps writing in C wasn't the best option here =$

 

A memory leak in a genesis game this has got to be a first. The glitch is caused by "making your selection" too many times see the way I had the menu setup is it uses SGDK's bitmap mode to deliver scaled text I thought it was kind of cool but it is not a must have feature in my opinion reading the menu is more important than a cool scaling effect. I will be sure that the memory leak is fixed in the next version and the next version will also include accurate physics they are already very good right now I just need to fix a few some stuff the with physics then is should be just like a sonic game. I think that will make the game less dull. And of course I will fix the other glitches MarkeyJester mentioned.

 

What other modes have you planned for this project? Will other characters be playable?

 

The only other mode I can think of is play as sonic and 2 player without robotnik's ship being invincible but this is going to be a multicart I hope to have 52 action packed high quality games all in one cart I am not sure if that will happen but that is the goal.
