Game Project - 'Tails Revenge'

Posted by Tarnish Jan. 4, 2008 @ 10:26 AM EST

Well, interesting thing happened to me one day..a guy who said that he liked my flash series very much decided to make a 2D game of it..so now me and him (namely SonicTHedgehogDX) are collaborating to make this game the best as possible: I'm in charge of the character sprites (mostly Tails sprites) while he takes care of the rest: the stages, the engine etc. (I wish I could help him with more than just the sprites but..) He's really doing an incredible job, the beta tests he sent me had awesome physics and very cool Sonic engine.

Here are some videos of 'our' (tho rather mainly SonicTHedgehogDX's) work so far:

Well i have seen the videos of the beta test and it looks great! (I would point out a few things but it's a beta so no comment here) Anyways i've been talking with my friends and they have some ideas but they won't say until they are completely done with the details...(very precise friends eh? ill pm you when they are finish, don't want any ideas stolen before i give them to you) Continuing on... Can't wait to play the games that you and SonicTHedgehogDX are making. Good luck!

Yeah I know there are a few glitches/bugs in it but for a fan game I think it has awesome physics. The sprite problems are because I didn't finish some of them yet, coz I never thought we would make a game in which we could use them. I wonder what ideas your friends have..I also have a lot of ideas for Sonic games but those are mainly for 3D ones, so I'm not really prepared regarding ideas for this 2D game..not to mention that I wasn't planing on making a game out of this series of mine. Anyway thx for the comment.

Awesome! :O They were pretty good for a beta. Can't wait to play it. Will it follow the movie storyline?

Jan. 11, 2008 | 7:24 AM Tarnish responds:

Thx. I wonder when will we be able to finish it, considering that it WILL follow the movie's storyline and the movie isn't even near being ready yet..

I can't wait to play it!!!
Well, I can, actually. You've taught me a lot about waiting (cough *Procrastination* Cough) (No, not really, I understand that this is really hard work).

Jan. 16, 2008 | 4:15 PM Tarnish responds:

Hey, if you want to get things done with quality (not the way SEGA does), then you have to give it time. That's why I'm not saying any expected release dates or deadlines no more coz I have no idea if I can keep to them and coz I don't want to rush my works coz of them. Not to mention that I wasn't really planing this game project so the whole thing was quite unexpected for me. The release date of this game depends more on SonicTHedgehogDX than me anyway, since he is doing the most and toughtest part of the job.

I would have to say impressive, by him and u, the sprites that u have done are faboulous, Certainly you r an expert at it, altough other people are good with sprites, i like how u did tails, it seems that u used both sonic and tails with u'r sprites

Because with the screenshot on the first movie i was pimpressed on the stance how tails did like sonic when he goes super. I would like to know more about u'r experiance on flashes. I would like to know if it took you a while to do at least one sprite.

In my conclustion, would you ever make a super tails in the series? Or maybe dark tails, like a rippoff of sonic. I would be glad if u review my comments and come back in touch when you reply.

Thx for the comment, it's always a pleasure when ppl appreciate the time and effort I put into my works. :D Dunno if I'm an expert at making Tails sprites, but after almost 3 years of experience in it, I'm pretty veteran I guess. XD I tried to make my sprites unique from the others I see on the net, but still keep it 'Tails-like' (tho I kinda failed at that with the sprites I used in my flash-movies..) But the newer ones are much better (the ones that are in the game's movies). Yeah I guess it's true that there's something 'Sonic-like' in some of my Tails sprites, since I made a few poses out of Sonic sprites. :P But still now I add my own touches to even these 'edits' by shortening them a bit.
I started spriting btw like imo every decent spriter did: with recoloring sprites. :P My first sprites ever were the Sonic 3 snowboarding sprites that I edited to Tails sprites. Those never got off the drawing board tho.. Answering your question, making my first sprite didn't take too long if I remember well, but after a while when I improved with my spriting skills, I got back to it and improved it.

With flash I don't really have much experience, tho I try to improve with that too. Some ppl say that for a starter I'm pretty good, but I don't really feel like it, I think I could be much better. About my style, I don't want to copy nobody's stlye, I want to develop my own. Since I'm probably only gonna make Sonic flash movies, I wanna make them quite action packed but in a 'Sonic' kinda way, that is no dragonball effects and stuff coz I don't really like that.

About the Super Tails thing: of course I will make him appear in my series! I already made a few sprites of him to test how cool can I make him look. I also thought of making a Dark Tails too, but I think I'm gonna reject that one..but I have something else in mind, something new. :)

P.S.: What you mean by "come back in touch"?

i cant wait for that man this is so good when will ep 3 come out and the game

Jan. 26, 2008 | 5:36 AM Tarnish responds:

Well first of all you should know that I decided to restart the series from the beginning coz I messed up some things badly..and I also rewrote the story a bit. I have no idea when will we be ready with any of the epsiodes, let alone the game..


Mar. 1, 2008 | 4:49 PM stabby51 says:

So its gonna be a game?

Mar. 3, 2008 | 5:58 AM Tarnish responds:

Well, if you mean there'll be a game instead of the flash series, no. I'm still working on the movie (well, sorta..), but we (me and SonicTHedgehogDX) are also making a game out of it.
