SRB2 Turning 10(A Look Back)

[JRose]

While I was look at the Wiki. I noticed that SRB2's birthday is come up(March 1998). So I decided to make this topic. Because I have only been here for a year. I will post link to the past.

Lets start off with a little history

SRB2's turning 10? Isn't SSN, like, 23 now? Doesn't that mean he was 13 when the project started?

 

[Sykotic]

I think SSN started working on it later in the game... like five or so years ago when he was 18-20.

Hmm I don't think it's really fair to do the history of SRB2 without Sonic Doom and Sonic doom 2. From what I've seen, SRB2 Halloween and the first Christmas Demo may have been bulit upon Sonic Doom 2 as there was evidance of Knee deep in the Geek, The shores of Neodenaire, and Project GKR in the Halloween version's Doom2.wad, and the sprite of sonic useing the Chainsaw found in the wad file of the Christmas demos.

It also looks like the map nameing system we use today started back in Sdoom2.wad

 

[JRose]

Reading this. It does mention Sonic doom. but it still sounds like SRB2 was started back in sometime in 98.

Hmm. looks like it could use mor information.

 

[SSNTails]

Isn't this thread kinda early?

 

[glaber]

Doen't matter to me. I'm interested in the history of SRB2 and Sonic Doom.

SSNTails - Tuesday, 1st January, 2008

Happy new year!

With that said, SRB2's 10th anniversary is only two months away. Sit tight, we're planning a few specials things to commemorate!

Sounds cool SSNTails. I was wondering if you were going to do something special.

v1.1 FD

*cough*

 

[Kaysakado]

Indeed.

Or at least some other edition of SRB2 out of nowhere, like SRB2 1.09.75, or SRB2Birthday, where the rings would be turned into party hats, and the enemies would be... something. I dunno what yet.

 

[Sik]

Or like Sonic Stadium does, a page dedicated to the aniversary XD Me and my ideas... *sigh*

 

[JEV3]

Or a legit slope leak! =P

Weren't they going to release a patched version of 1.09.4 though? Maybe thats it... or maybe they're are going to be some neat SRB2-related events. Or maybe they are going to perform the long overdue reworking of the addons section of the website.

 

[xxBeanGirl420xx]

SRB2 1.09.5 with polyobjects would be awesome too

 

[wise.rain]

How about SRB2 1.1 beta?

 

[glaber]

If my guessing that 1.1 would be done this year was wrong, what makes you think we'll get a demo of 1.1?

 

[JRose]

Sorry for the bump but...

OMG OMG its March

Happy 10th Birthday SRB2!

Found the old Sonic Team Jr. site

0.0

That's a bit of interest to me... I mean the link, that is...

There's a different frame for Sonic or Tails for each page, in their original sizes!

(But sadly, not all of them work, plus that some of the pages don't work either...)

 

[Monsteriestyn]

But the Downloads page's MIDI section works. MOST of the old but official midis are there, even Eggrock. It doesn't sound like the one that Spazzo found, though. It could be completely updated or completely changed.
