    Glaber's Ban and anything Sandwichface related ig

    Which does not fall under the category of being constructive (which is all about identifying specific issues and making suggestions on how it can be improved).

    Glaber's Ban and anything Sandwichface related ig

    I think the answer the OP sought here is proof that no one is getting banned over critique regarding DRRR. As long as your criticism is constructive and targets the game and not the developers, then none here have anything to worry about. I am not going to comment on the other half of the...

    [Open Assets] Sonic Robo Blast 2 the Past Version 2.0

    The mod is open, which is why it is a surprise to me that there has not been more patches and additions submitted by the community considering the interest here. Period sprites for instance could potentially be done in Lua through checks to see which map is currently loaded, but there are a ton...

    Ace Dragon's adventures in Zone Builder.

    Hi, I noticed I have been neglecting this thread as of late. As of this year I have been preparing Creative Worlds to have a nice release ready in conjunction with SRB2 2.2.14 (complete with heavy use of texture scaling). These .gif images have already been posted on the Discord server and now...

    SRB2Kart

    I have played a couple of cups now on normal difficulty, and while it is not impossible to beat the rival and get first place (I got gold in both), I can see why it would be frustrating for those who are not already familiar with the tracks. I already played those tracks on Gear 1, so I know...

    Does SRB2 have merch?

    Short answer; No Long answer; Not unless Sonic Team Jr. was able to obtain a license from Sega to raise money for the development of a fangame based on their IP (which is unlikely even if a commission was offered). This site also does not have embedded ads for the same reason.

    SRB2Kart

    If you are new to the game, then having the AI on Gear 1 allows you to progress normally without the rival being overly difficult to beat. The rival does not become a pushover though so do not be overconfident in your lead if the map shows you well ahead. I get the impression that Gear 2 is...

    How's Robotnik Ring Racers going for everyone so far ? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

    After the tutorial, and also after the patch, it is not that bad actually. While it may not have quite the same level of polish as say, Mario Kart, I would argue it is about the best karting game you can get for free (as for starters it is completely free, not 'free' as in heavily monetized...

    SRB2Kart

    You must've had some handle on the controls already, I came in completely new and for a tutorial was pretty tough in terms of the maneuvers you had to make to pass some sections. The drifting section was the hardest and was where I wondered if I was going to make it through at all. In my...

    SRB2Kart

    I just played through the tutorial, and I will not say a whole lot since a lot of points are already covered. There is the potential for a great game here, but the drifting and wall collision especially could feel a bit tighter and less bouncy. The tutorial is also quite a challenge for...

    2.3 Discussion

    At this point, it may not matter quite as much if the team ended up focusing more on the Lua API, graphics rendering, and general engine features than new official content. The reason is because we are not near as dependent on new campaign content as we once were, advanced mapping and complex...

    Kart Krew™'s exe mods

    This is a good example of how critique of the new game should be approached. If anyone thinks the game is bad in one way or another, then they need to explain why and what can be done to improve the gameplay and user experience. The developers can't do anything otherwise if they have to make...

    2.3 Discussion

    You technically can finish the campaign yourself since the modding functionality is robust enough to do that, but I would not expect Sonic Team Jr. to just slot the levels in if you offered them. I have my own level pack being worked on, so I can only wish you luck in trying to match the...

    SRB2 Add-ons, and GPL-compliance.

    Regarding Lua and the GPL, the Blender Foundation for instance has it in their FAQ that all python addons be under that license (to be on the safe side since the license is not exactly clear on that), though Blender is on version 3 which seals some loopholes and workarounds that might lead to...

    Horizon effect not working correctly in opengl

    OpenGL currently does not support FoF compatibility with horizon rendering, it is why a lot of maps designed with OpenGL in mind use a regular floor for water that needs to extend infinitely or instead use a type of border that was more common in old versions of the game. OpenGL in general...
