Welcome to the Retro-Sonic SAGE booth!
This page has temporarily hi-jacked the normal index page of the Retro-Sonic website for the duration of the week. So what's the score? A new demo release is coming this week! OMG! It's been 5 years since the last official demo was made for PC and much has changed. With it's new engine nearing a complete state, the game is better than ever :)
Here's a quick list of new
additions and changes since the July 2006 proof of concept
dreamcast release
- Much improved physics for a classic Sonic experience (Thanks
for advice and help with testing Tweaker)
- WIP (work in progress) Special and Bonus Stages using Rotation
and Mode 7 style graphics
- New Title Screen and Character Select Screen
- Nicely compacted Data files
- Completed Egg Garden Zone for demo
- Lots of little things for you to discover
In addition to this, the Retro-Sonic Development Kit (RSDK)
program has been re-written from scratch.
The RSDK is now multi-platform for both Windows and Mac OSX, and sports a cleaner interface. OSX hey? Obviously Retro-Sonic itself is now on both platforms too. The RSDK still needs to be finished along with it's documentation written before it gets included with any release sorry :( .As for the Dreamcast version, that's temporarily on hold until the game's code is 100% complete, (since it must be optimized for the DC hardware).
Anyway enough talk, here's the the stuff you've most likely already scrolled down to:
