Sonic Action: news

[Sik]

Hey, guys, I want to notify you that it's VERY probably that Sonic Action beta 2 will appear on this month. So, be ready... And you'll see for first time the Dark Amy... I'll try to host it in SFGHQ (this beta is really good, and you know the comments of the previous beta)... I'll say one thing only: expect some cutscenes in the game...

In other news, Tails92 made the Official Sonic Action IRC channel: it's #sonicaction and it's hosted in EsperNet, which you know where to access because you use it for access to #srb2fun, am I right? However, thanks, Tails92!!!

Mmmmmmh... I think that I have a lot of stuff for put in the next update of my page... Without count that it hit the 200 visits :D (Do you want to know who made the 200th visit? It's SuperSonic2005 aka The Ultimate Lifeform)

Well, now post your opinions now...

Sonic Action beta 2

ALPHA

 

[Sik]

You have the named "beta 1". The next is the named "beta 2". Did you check what says the title screen in the lower left corner? "BETA 0001". The next is the "BETA 0002". Mmmmmmh... But the beta which Tails92 released already says "BETA 0002"... I think that I'll change it to "BETA 0003"...

 

[Shadow Hog]

No, you don't get it, do you? A beta is a mostly-finished product. Your game is not a mostly-finished product. It's a good start, but it only has one level playable, and that's hardly what I'd call a beta - it's an alpha.

 

[Chaos the Hedgehog]

The OPs in the channel are tails92, Sik, Chaos the Hedgehog(Yes you read that right, and The Ultimate Lifeform

EDIT: Removed shadowsfollower. Information was re-confirmed. Apologies.

You better be wrong.

XDDD. I am wrong. My apologies

The first time when he entered I had trouble with him, so it's impossible beign him an operator.

Oh, and Shadow Hog, the game is named "beta 2" because I want to say that it's a beta. It can be an alpha, a beta or anything, but officially is named "beta 2". OK?

 

[tails92]

I uploaded an update for Beta 002, that corrects the midi bug on UNIX platform.

Sources + Linux version: http://www.rctd.ft6.com/uploads/Sonic_Action_beta002a.tgz
Solaris 9 version: http://www.rctd.ft6.com/uploads/Sonic_Action_beta002a_solaris9.tar.gz

 

[Monsteriestyn]

I'm guessing the 2nd one is the Windows version.

 

[tails92]

I'm guessing the 2nd one is the Windows version.

No. Is the Solaris 9 one (Solaris is Sun Microsystems's operating system).

 

[Monsteriestyn]

Okay, guess I'll get the Linun one.

I know it's a cow, but I'm gonna call it a telephone pole. :0

Talking about ports, I want to know a thing... Does the public Windows version need allegro40.dll? Because my compiler is configured to link statically, so Allegro is built-in the EXE of the game and the DLL is not needed anymore.

However, expect see the beta 0003 soon. :D With some better things (specially the first Sonic vs. Dark Amy fight ). ;)

PS: do you think that SFGHQ will accept this game? I said this because the game is incomplete (three levels)... but it has enough good quality... What do you think about it?

 

[Bigboi]

Is there a version of the demo for windows?

 

[Sik]

Yeah, ECS made it some days after the Linux demo was released.

 

[supershadow2]

LNK PLZ :)

 

[Sik]

Links to both versions (Windows and Linux) are in the topic of #sonicaction. ;)
