you poor sad twonks

....this isnt permanent, i came back for my hat
but i realised the one thing that all of you guys were doing wrong...what sega is doing wrong...and all of you may dissagree with me and call me a "liability" ...you all know that i helped and to put me to shame is fail

the thing youre doing wrong is the story....
yep the thing you took so long to acomplish has failed you completely, sonic isnt entirely about story, but husge cutscenes and romance is not the anwser, good gameplay with varying features and amazing abilitys is the answer, so here are my tips-

1. focus on came dynamics and mechanics rather than plot, do plot later, make up about 10-15 zones for the character to go around and put a story along it,

2. characters, there are too many, select a few with a variety of powers and put secret ways to get through levels by using those powers, make special zones for differenct characters...jsut have less of them,chose the most unique ones

3.when making a plotline, look at other sonic games, try not to make it complicated, make it linear and easy to understand...this means no romance

4.look at your staffs abilitys, if they can do a job, dont hire random outsiders to do it for them, it just depresses them ,they get annoyed and leave, you treat most of the staff like turd, which is no good

...i dont want any comments like "oh myst, we dont need to do this" or anything like that because what i say is the truth, i dont want an argument, i dont want contradictions, get the game done, becasue some people actualy want it done

if i get any backlash from this simple act of help then it shows what idiots you are, and dont say you dont need help, you do, everyone needs help, trust me , i know more than anyone

lol i just looked ...i cant belive you gave up the best chance for a game..to make a flash animation, thats how much spirit you have right? cant make a game so you give up? a flash animation cant realy work with one animator and a spriter and a mad story writer, you guys realy hvaent see nthe potential this game has, have you? ¬_¬ jesus lizard, i dont think the admin is even in charge anymore, get ti together, a game can be produced in 2 months...and you have had 3 years

listen dude ,it dosent matter what u say ...okay ,this is a custom story mainly based on sonic and his friends now ,if u dont like it ,thats your opinion

also it dosent matter about how long it takes to be produced ...at least it WILL come out

the last time i saw progress on this "game" was 2 years before i left, people dont want a storyline,they want a game

we didnt have everything for a game ,so we revamped it to a movie ,this was 2 months ago

with one animator? >_> you just took all of an experienced personns advice and threw it back in their face! also its more downgraded if its a movie, you need more than one animator forr a movie, i was giving sound advice because i felt bad for you, you have...what 3 active members, 4 including me and the only animator is on a "Break" i bet Ep has an amazing scheme to get 5 different animators on the job with his spriter freind that i bet has also given up on the job, and leaving out the only animator here,causing him to leave,so 5 years later you will be at the same stage with a half assed sprite film still bieng made and saying...lets revamp it into a game! the only reason why you have less characters is the fact that less people are on the forum, you are masking up your failings with what you think is good, people who watch sprite movies are dwindling, you need hard cold character drawings done to a brilliant level (not some cheapo action chibi fight sequence) exelent voice talents (to which you have none) and a storyline that people want to see , in order to do this you need people who have the talent to animate in a group, one person doing storyboarding, organising them into different frames, setting framerate, organising detailed character maps, and make their own music....a movie isnt easier , you just think it is because you have a huge story, that i may add, sonic fans may not enjoy, a game is easier to make and you pretty much have the tools to do it, its just that the team lacks synergy, some people are on the same wavelength,others are not, you have to remember that youre not talking to a child here , your talking to an expereinced person who knows what theyre talking about having many trials and tribulations, so to talk like i dont know all of this and have thought about waht to do if it is a movie, your team needs to have skills, at the moment youre taking on people you dont know who are messing it up for you.

if you only just came back to complain then im locking this topic ,ep and stealth want to do what they think is best

Look Myst, all that happened is that you and EchidnaPower argued so much and then you quit, and found another member to help.

I know it's been three years (and I wish this was done already but I still need to make sprites) but if coming back just to troll on us is what you feel like doing, please don't. This project has gone through so much and a game just couldn't fit.

Sorry, dude.
