Tools to develop a Sonichu game -

[Chrus Chundlur]

Being an amateur game developer myself, I thought of making a short, legit looking 2D Sonichu demo and send it to Chris, or at least share it here as a joke.

It would play as a real genesis-era Sonic game to catch his attention, but after just running for a while, a cake would drop on Sonichu followed by Chris ass who would longly fart on it shaking the screen and splashing pieces of chocolate and not-chocolate all over the screen.

I began some basic recoloring work on a GBA Sonic spritesheet, and when it was time to actually add stuff like Sonichu's ears and tail and all that crap, I saw the work it would take just to fuck around with Chris and...reevaluated my entire life

The thing is, the way I was going to make it, it's not really difficult to do a genesis/gba sonic-like game, just requires more time than im willing to invest.

I was planning to use Construct 2 (An incredibly easy to use HTML5 game engine) with this plugin that easily allows to replicate quite convincing 2D Sonic physics.

So if any of you guys want to give it a try, you can take those tools into consideration (Specially if anyone here has already fucked around on Construct 2) and let me save you a couple of minutes by taking this already recolored sprites.

I remember a program called RPGmaker which was popular a few years ago and used to create certain games such as Super Columbine Massacre RPG. I've messed around with it a bit as a kid, but never did anything too serious.

It may be a possible option if you wish to make a game, but have limited programming experience.

You can use Unity https://unity3d.com/ which is extremely popular and has a free version that's on par feature-wise with the paid version, though you'd probably need to learn coding.

Game Maker Studio is great for game creation, as long as it's 2-D, and it has a easy-to learn drag-and drop system to start up, while you learn how to use its code system. It has a 2D Sonic game creation engine, look it up on google. It should be the one with a Christmas title screen, and was used to make Sonic:Before the Sequel (If you want to know what it can do).

So whoever, picks up where @Chrus Chundlur leaves off, I want you to pay tribute to his artistic vision.

RPG Maker is good for making retro looking RPGs (Well, you can actually use HD graphics, but the engine still screams "snes-era" rpg)

But the fucker probably wants a current generation game graphic-wise and nothing less, so if you want to "sell" him a retro game I think a 2D Sonic would be the only option IMHO.

Also, I dont recall Chris being particularly fond of RPGs either.

Not that you cant do pretty damn sweet things with it, though. Maple's game is made with RPG Maker.

You can use Unity https://unity3d.com/ which is extremely popular and has a free version that's on par feature-wise with the paid version, though you'd probably need to learn coding.

Sure, you can do very nice things with Unity, but learning to code is pretty much a given. Even if you already knew how to code beforehand, getting used to Unity would probably take way longer than with easier engines like Game Maker or Construct 2.

I would not recommend it if you don't have previous experience. Specially if your objective is making a goddamn Sonichu game xD

Wow, I checked a video of that Sonic: Before the sequel game and it's really spot on...

Game Maker would surely allow you to make a fancier game, but I would say Construct 2 is still way easier to use and faster to learn.

Awwww, damn, I saw this thread title and thought "Tools" was being used as a proper noun. But, regardless, those sprites are amazing!

If you are going to do that as a way to troll him, then share it with everyone EXCEPT him, and let him discover it naturally like he did with Maple's game. Let him take the bait thinking there is already money out there just waiting and then frustrate later wondering why he remains unable to obtain that money.

Of course, he'll be pissed either way, but this way might maximize the lulz.

I think dicking with chris is low but since you wanna troll him with cakefarts... well it's not like I would't laugh but shame on you.

If you make a nice 2d sonichu game and he doesn't like it you can change the tone of your emails instantly and act like you're about to steal his whole franchise and you'd hoped he would have been more reasonable but myomoto warned you this would happen and you're going to have to go ahead with release anyhow and naturally defend the legitimacy of your copyright from all trolls which now sadly includes him.

As a nice touch you could say that your lawyers helped linus steal linux from world famous autistic richard stallman and helped bethesda steal fallout from interplay or something like that so even bothering to resist is pointless now.

Anyhow chris is messed up so it's great to giggle about what ifs and it'd be great if someone dropped a good sonichu game but why be a dick about it? He's got enough problems and he's doing good for chris atm.

(Any "autistic" ratings will be appreciated and, to be honest, quite deserved )

That's gonna be a bitch to add the ears and checks and correct tail to each different sprite

You sure it will be worth it amuse a 33 year old autistic trans man child?

Making ~*Chris trolling plans*~ right out in the public like this is only going to troll yourselves when Waterween or some other sperg who tipped Chris off of Maple's game will just tell Chris exactly what you're doing and this way you probably won't get any reaction out of him. The idea is fun and I wish all the best luck to it, but mmh yeah, you're not going to get the bang for your buck if you do this just to troll Chris while publicly announcing your intention to do so.

And that's exactly why I abandoned the idea

(I was only going to edit and use basic animations anyways, altough the sprite sheet contains a shitton of them. Still a pain in the ass)
