We are in the middle of 2025, which means Sonic Tameshi is about to turn 1 year old! How cool.
Well, I would love to deliver the complete game this year, but I can't guarantee anything... but here we are, the game is 50-60% complete, that's fantastic! I would like to thank Daki once again for her fantastic work on the music, it really makes me happy that my game has such enjoyable music, it really motivates me to continue the project :)
Well, here now I'm going to show some new things and others that have already been shown previously but in more detail... be aware that I changed the formatting of the article because some people told me that it was confusing in the November version of last year...
here we go:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The Blushing Blossom"
This is an angelic place, the pink leaves on the trees are beautiful and I can smell... strawberries?
Oops, I got lost in the vibes, this is the first B-Side Zone of Sonic Tameshi! Each area of the map will have an extra stage to spice up a long-play, I haven't decided yet if they will be mandatory or not but I don't know... Since this stage is one of the first ones, it's very easy to play and doesn't have many difficulties, just be careful with the bottomless pits, if you can't react quickly you won't be able to save yourself!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The Scary Cave... Mushroom Mines"
A place full of mushrooms and precious jewels that hold incredible power, but they don't compare to the Chaos Emeralds... perhaps if used the energy of the entire island they may have the same power as the 7 Emeralds... but don't think it's easy to get these, the place is full of angry ghosts!
I'm trying really hard to make this level harder than what it is, I don't like hard games so I'm trying not to overdo it, it's really hard to get the balance right haha.. The main gimmick of this level is that... it's dark! Maybe with a fire shield you'll be able to see better or you can just hang around the lava... wait, Ghosts! They're menacing, and even worse, they steal your rings!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"A Casino Night"
A colorful place, Eggman really likes lights and fancy decorations, but this place is not a good thing, many ways to lose your precious rings, never trust gambling machines, especially machines made by Eggman!
I hate gambling... but I really like the style of the casino stages in Sonic, haha! This is the last Side-B of the game before the last stage, right after a very special stage, this is like the calm before the storm.
Clearly inspired by the Prototype Casino Night from Sonic 2, Pink and Blue, those colors go well when used right, specially with Black, its like a wild style!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"The Map"
Finally the game has the map, it was supposed to be there from the beginning but making a giant pixel art of the entire map where the game takes place is not an easy job, well, programming this too, that's why it's not complete yet but here's a preview, I hope doing this instead of a regular level select menu was a good idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Toot Toot Sonic Warrior!"
Last but not least, the game's intro! My biggest ambition in the entire project and my biggest regret.
This opening will show how Sonic arrived on the island. I prepared a cool scene where Sonic jumps between ships, dodging a bombardment. It's cool. I also used a lens flare to make the scene more elegant. It's a shame that you won't be able to see it in HD in the game.
I'm sorry, but the game's cutscenes are in low quality to keep the game file size low, maybe later i'll post them all in my Youtube Channel in 1080p :v
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That's it Folks! Thanks for reading, that's all I have and can show you, have a great day!
