[center][img]http://i.imgur.com/9PXzjN0.png[/img] Hello, MFGG! No, this isn't an April Fools joke. My fangame Sonic Hexacide has indeed been finished. And, yes, I'm aware there already exists a topic for this game, but it's old and I don't really want to post the finished version in a topic with comments mostly on a very old demo. So yeah, a Sonic fangame on MFGG might been seen as heresy, but whatever. Fujiko has shown us clearly enough that SFGG is indeed a thing. Without further ado, here it is!

[spoiler][video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbKlXdpOP6A[/video][/spoiler] [size=150][b]Q&A[/b][/size] [spoiler]Q: I get an error message saying something about vertex buffers. A: This means your graphics card can't handle the game. Sorry about that, nothing I can do about that. Q: This game runs really slowly on my computer. Is there anything I can do about it? A: Increase frameskip on the main menu. This will reduce the FPS, but make the game run more smoothly. Q: I played Paper Mario 3D Land and collected all the greenstars just to find out they don't do jack****. Do the red rings actually do something in this game? A: Yes. Q: Sonic still has no knockback. Why? A: Still lazy. Also I got used to Sonic having no knockback, so I didn't bother to add it. I think it would only make the game needlessly frustrating, anyway. Q: The red rings are pretty hard to find. A: Some of them you can't see with the naked eye. Albeit rare, they are there. If you can't find them in a level try looking for areas behind platforms blocking the view. Q: This game is pretty bad. A: That isn't a question. But keep playing, the final boss is neat. Q: The final boss sucks too. A: Well, screw you. Q: Why are you using sprites? A: It's really tough finding models and finding someone who can animate them for you. I didn't want to waste any time on doing that. Also, using models might have slowed the game down. [size=50]Q: >no wallrunning A: Chris, go away.[/size][/spoiler] [b][size=150]System Requirements[/size][/b] [spoiler]DirectX version 9 or higher is required to run this game.

where in this game you find the tusk bucks compatibility thing

[quote="lu9"]where in this game you find the tusk bucks compatibility thing[/quote]Yet to come via DLC.

I really like how this game plays so far! It's a bit difficult to handle on my laptop, though, since I cannot run and jump at the same time due to key limitations, and I can't change the controls to Shift and Control, either, is there any way for me to play this game properly or shall I just accept that the game is more difficult to control for me?

You could try switching to a German keyboard so Y and Z are switched, even though it might be even worse to control if you're not used to playing that way.

Last time I tried your game, the whole level and every object was a solid grey. Does this problem still persist? If yes, then please fix it, so I can finally play that game.

I wouldn't know if it still persists. This is made in the most recent version of GM:Studio, so I don't know if they did anything to fix that issue.

Glad you're enjoying it so far :D

Sorry about that, nothing I can do about that.[/quote]I guess there's too many spikes on the screen at the same time, which your graphics card can't handle. Maybe increasing frameskipping helps, though I don't think so. It would be worth a try, though. I guess I should release a low-poly version of this game. EDIT: A new version is now available with reduced polygon count on the spikes. This should prevent the vertex buffer error. I also fixed a homing attack bug.

Oh, I see. I do have a better graphics card but my laptop used Intel HD Graphics by default. Thanks for mentioning that. EDIT: It works fine now, thanks! I did notice the spikes cause quite a bit of lag compared to the rest of the game, but I'm assuming that's too hard to fix with the way GM:Studio handles 3D.

This game looks pretty good. Might try it out later.

v1.2 is now out! Changes since v1.1:[list] [*]Fixed a bug where shadows of the Gyros would be drawn in midair. [*]Fixed a major bug where homing attacking currently digging Buzzsaws would glitch you through the floor causing you to lose a life. [*]Sugar Swamp Act 2: Fixed a minor bug where the platforms would fail to load the whole model. [*]Sugar Swamp Act 2: Fixed a bug where the blue platforms below Sonic wouldn't disappear. [*]Sugar Swamp Act 2: Added additional sound effects.[/list]

This looks very nice. My only complaint is that sonic's sprite clash with everything else.

This looks really well made. I better try it someday. Why doesn't Sega make you make Sonic games :laugh:?

Sonic's sprite doesn't fit at all.

I wonder why people keep pointing out that Sonic's sprite doesn't fit when it's from the same game as 80% of all sprites in this game. If anything the Advance sprites clash

[quote="DJ Coco"]I wonder why people keep pointing out that Sonic's sprite doesn't fit when it's from the same game as 80% of all sprites in this game. If anything the Advance sprites clash[/quote] I think it's because of the 3D ground and spikes. I don't see the problem with Sonic's sprite, though, it didn't bother me too much.

The sprite doesn't bother me at all. It takes a little practice to actually HIT the enemies with a sprite, but it's not impossible by any means!

So... Guinea just played Hexacide and let me know of a game-breaking glitch in v1.2 that prevents you from even beating the first level. Man, that's embarassing I didn't test it enough to discover such a major bug. So anyway, v1.3 is now up that fixes this issue. I hope nobody has downloaded v1.2 ^^'
