Currently ive started building the stages for for Metal sonic in game. it took me a long while but ive finally thought of a layout and puzzle elements built around his abilities. Most of the cut scenes themselves for the first half are already finished(save for the voice acting(more on that later)).

Also in relation to HLS im considering of outsourcing the engine to a select few people to help work on the stages and some miscellaneous stuff as well(Whether il make it public/ open source or not is TBD) For those wondering what the engine will have if it becomes an open build heres a few things:

Basic essentials such as controller setup, start up screens ect

HLS Engine template frame (comes with all the playable characters you see in game and the other stuff like the health system)

A special stage template(can be used to make one of your choosing)

Menu and level selects

other stuff once ive thought of them.
-----------------------------------------

Sorry things are taking so long and i apreciate those who are patiently waiting for the next build. When its out il be accepting Auditions for the Voice acting but for now stay tuned.
