[@alansmithee419]

That seems rather difficult.

[@lukeluscombee]

Yeah that does sound hard

[@-ZodiacPrince-]

Just shift the camera and lock it to a 2D perspective until he leaves the tunnel, and leave the side view as it is in the original game. There's a reason Sega likes camera locking in modern 2.5D Sonic games, it's efficient. (And cinematic, to a degree.)

[@cst1229]

@@alansmithee419 Simple solution: Make the ground in front of the tunnel be transparent when a camera raycast touches it, and lock the camera to the side when Sonic is in a tunnel.

[@Martin-iz5gx]

Not so simple solution: Use the ego perspective for as long as Sonic is in the tunnel. This trick was used in the Trackmania series, but also in many other games.

[@mr.blitzgaming7435]

Solution for ring lag: In the original games, sonic players will remember that if you get hit, you drop all your rings. They'll ALSO remember that the max ring drop limit is 20. So if you only have 4 rings you drop them all. But if you have 50 rings, sonic only drops 20 and the other 30 are gone.

[@DlcEnergy]

A solution to keep all the rings would be how Minecraft handles stacks of items. Rather than tons of individual items they merge into groups. So if you dropped 80 rings, they could spawn 20 special rings worth 4 rings each. So if you dropped 24 rings, 4 of the 20 rings would be worth 2 rings, etc... They could have a visual cue to show which rings are worth more. (more sparkly or something) Calculating the rings is pretty simple. Just calculate for all 20. Any worth 0 don't get spawned. int base, spare = count/20, count%20; for(int i=0; i

[@eddievhfan1984]

In addition, the ring-on-ring collision model scales in polynomial time. If anyone reading this hasn't taken an algorithms/computational complexity class, let's just say that as you increase the number of rings spawned in close to each other, the number of collisions that has to be calculated goes up by the square of the number of rings: Collisions to calculate = n(n-1)/2, n being the number of rings. So ten rings require 45 collisions to be calculated initially, and 100 rings requires 4,950 collisions. If the collision logic is disabled between each ring, and the rings are programmed to fan out in a fixed pattern/distribution, you can spawn all the rings without getting bogged down in the collision logic, and replicate the "flowering" ring pattern you got in original Sonic, where the rings didn't collide with each other.

[@denravonska]

@@eddievhfan1984 That's what I was thinking as well, but I'm not sure if it's possible in Unity: disable ring-to-ring collisions. You lose some physics but I doubt anyone would notice.

[@Carlos-ux7gv]

Also, rings cannot be collected when they spawn. So you disable collision before spawning, spread them around sonic and after a time, you reenable collison. Plus, you need collision only for Sonic to collect them, as every ring is either spawned in place or spread around when Sonic gets hit. So you just have to track collision between Sonic and the rings (distance collision).

Ring problem: Assign the ring collision to its own physics layer, and then set that layer to not collide with other objects on the same layer. The rings won't check collisions with each other, only the world, sonic (and enemies if that's enabled too). Bam, collision issue solved ;) Pipe problem: You could make Sonic follow some path inside the pipes, and use a shader to show a semi-transparent Sonic through the world geometry. While this is happening, the camera animates around the terrain while looking at Sonic, sidestepping the camera-colliding-with-terrain issue (This tends to be what the official Sonic games do for things like loops too - temporarily take control away from the player when they're currently doing something they don't have any/much control over). Then you can see Sonic do all his crazy motion through the world without any camera troubles.

@Biggles! I ought to have used SRB2 as an example instead. Sonic Team Jr put their hearts and souls into expertly crafting that game around 6 different characters as of the latest version. Sonic in that game doesn't even need a homing attack, since the controls are floaty enough that you can land a lot of tricky jumps and don't overshoot or undershoot your jumps. In retrospect, my previous example wasn't a particularly good one. Classic Sonic in Modern Sonic's levels is obviously going to be a problem, as the levels are designed for modern sonic and his moveset.

Hey, CLWEnt here! The guy who uploaded that model to sketchfab! The story behind that model and the fact it had all the animations is a neat one, so lemme spin ya a little yarn. So, from 2019 to 2020, I worked on the Sonic Runners Revival project (which is still going on to this day, proud of them) as a graphic designer for new events and event images. So to get a start, I tried working with models from the game, as well as models from other Sonic games (theres a ton of models on there that are still drafts, and as such, not public.) that I could modify and use in my event images. This includes the Classic Sonic model you used in the video, which I modified and used for the Sonic 3 event image. But how did I get the model complete with the animations? I'll tell you. So in the earlier days of the project, a member of the team (who's name I cannot remember, this was two years ago and I believe they left early on, I could be wrong) decompiled and dumped all the assets of the game for the team to check out and use if they wished to. And being the lead graphical designer at the time, I had a field day and a half XD. But the decomp was *huge* and a pain to navigate through, so I just took the things I needed and put them in easier places to access, like Google Drive or in this model's case, Sketchfab. I don't work on SRR anymore, I retired late last year, they've gotten a bunch of new people in my place since then that do an amazing job, and I'm super proud of them.

An idea to solve the rign spawn lag (if it is caused by the physics calculations). Make an specific layer for the rings and set that layer on the ring prefab.

With this, the rings will collide with al objects except other rings. I hope this helps ;)

Notes : Inspiration : You should have took inspiration from Sonoc Adventure 1 and 2, 1 would be perfect with its wast and free levels with lots of oportunities to skip and explore, SA2 however is more streamlied so some people call this sort of gameplay "thriller" as you basically follow a set path. Loop : Could have been inspired off SA or any other 3D Sonic games. Fish Chompers : The way you implemented them they pose no threat, you should have made them leap over the bridge to possibly hit Sonic, this was allready done in some 3D Sonic games. Rings : The rings should not have collision with each other, and typically you only drop about 10 rings and they drop right from the center of Sonic and form a circle arround Sonic. Still cool 👍

For the rings dropping after an attack: In other 3D Games, only up to like 20 or so are dropped at max when hit. They are spawned around a circle with sonic being the center and Unity has its own spawning tutorials for spawning objects in a circle at runtime. Also to prevent them from being instantly picked up again, you could deactivate the colliders for like 0.25 seconds or so. As to not make them collide with each other: check out the editors Physics Tab!

6:56 Look at the way rings behave in older 3D sonic games. The rings don't each have their own physics. They all have the same trajectory, bounce off of the ground the same number of times, and don't collide with each other. They wherever sonic got hit and radiate outward away from that point in a circle, more or less evenly spaced.

I haven't seen anyone bring this up in the comment section but when you 100% Sonic Adventure 2, the reward the game gives you is a playable Green Hill Zone. Much like yours they actually went out of their way to translate the level design of the first Sonic game into 3D. I recommend checking it out

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Well, no the reason they didn't remake it in 3D is because they stopped understanding how the third dimension worked when they decided to add a "Go really fast and win the game" button to the game.

[@tizianopetela6068]

You missed programming the "Momentum", the Momentum is like gravity, for example. You want to go through a looping and you run towards it, but from a very short distance, and you cannot make the complete turn, because you have to have more speed going down a hill rolling or something similar, that is the "momentum"

[@pixelfoxshouse]

he probably knows, but did not bother and left the bad 06 physics there

[@Storm725]

[@jon-vn2eu]

For the tunnels, I would personally bring the camera into a 2D view and put a tunnel texture or something on the side where sonic would be and show him rolling through or something like that, I'm not a game dev so idk how that would work out.

[@Cheese_Mans]

My solution to the ring problem would be to set the ring colliders as deactivated in the prefab but set them to active in the scene, also set the ring colliders to active after a bit after they are created with another separate script on each ring

[@Cherrylime_Studios]

how to get rid of the huge lag spikes with the rings: step one: when the rings spawn, turn of collisions. step two: when the rings aren't touching anything, turn collisions back on. simple.

[@CaptainSaumon]

For the rings, put the collisions only one second after they appear instead of activating the collisions right away

You could have made the fish jump over the bridges otherwise they're just cosmetic

[@SgtSega]

Have both jumping over the bridge as well as in between them so there's still an obstacle if you skip the bridge and jump over the water, you could even bounce on one for extra air and that would really help in speedrunning challenges.

Solution for lag (I don't know if it was offered): Since you already have them in a pool, make an animation that will have the rings fall at specific locations then spawn real objects instead (collision free)

[@tinyguy9398]

When you lost rings you had a cap in the original game of how many you could get back (I don't remember ever being able to retrieve more than 20 rings after getting hit). So maybe you have a max spawn number after getting hit and have it reduce rings to zero regardless of how many you have and spawn the number of rings you have but maxed at 20. That reduces the lag and also makes your game closer to the rules of the original.

[@cryogen1482]

You can use a layer collision matrix in the Unity Physics settings in the project settings to set the Ring collisions on their own layer and prevent them from interacting with each other, that way you can still have collision on the ground and sonic, but not have the rings collide with each other, in regards to have the rings randomly move into different directions you can just apply a random direction and force to their rigidbodies upon instantiating them. Hope this helps. EDIT: I see now someone already said this. oh well

[@Saxjon]

In the original game, the max number of rings that could be dropped when taking damage was 32 or 30, despite losing every ring on hit. You could try that. About the collision: in the original game, when you take damage, the rings you drop are not interactable for about one second, then sonic can take them back, so there's also that. Or you could try what Sonic Utopia (you should really check that game) did: instead of exploding every ring at once, they would fly out of sonic one at a time like a fountain.

[@aydinhenning2215]

You could just make the rings not collide with each other, or maybe try turning them into particles.

[@gamermapper]

Idk how this works but if rings are particles can they still be collected by sonic?

[@justNexi]

@@gamermapper Well particles have colliders, so you could just check if one of them touches Sonic, then delete that specific one and add it to a counter. (idk if this works cuz I don't have lots of experience with Unity)

[@kaitouknight3428]

Actually, you can make the choppers jump over the bridges so it can attack sonic on said bridge

You could've done the ring system like they did with Shadow The Hedgehog, so instead of loosing all of your rings you only loose like 10.

[@kyebelmont3498]

To CodyCantEatThis, I like what I see but there are things I want to suggest to you to help and improve this project. This are just my thoughts and ideas, hopefully they help you. So, here I go! 2:20 Spread the item computer screen apart so they aren't cluttering the same spot. 2:34 Maybe have only a few springs in the bundle of spikes so that way the player has to go from one spring to another as an obstacle. 3:32 It looks rigid, the loop inside looks like it doesn't have much space to do a proper loop around and probably needs to be bigger for sonic to do it. The moment sonic got half way, there wasn't enough space and looks like there are collision there. Other then that, you can either have Sonic have a script loop around or have that moment in first person until exiting from the loop. 3:44 You can make the tunnels visible to the players when Sonic enters in it and it becomes un-visible when exiting out. Also, here's an idea for ya, when there's more then one tunnel or paths, you can make them go different directions to make the stage more real and not just straight ahead. 4:17 Make them break when hitting the ground or make them hit the ground before rising back up after a few seconds. 4:37 Why not make a orangish gold rings that glows to represent as the 5 rings, and add a number 5 in that ring to let the player know that that's how many it contains. That way you can use less rings on stage and when Sonic loses rings and you can have more Memory Space. If not that then have the rings be transparent for a temporary time and if it detects a ring occupying the same space then it'll move away until it isn't or it vanishes. Also the rings bounce up and down when Sonic drop them, probably to make it easier for them to scatter. Or fuse any rings Sonic drop that made contact to another ring Sonic drop into a ring with a number indicating how many ring value it currently has. Or make the rings Sonic drops not have collision when spewing/dropping out of Sonic. 5:35 You can make the Chomper's jump over the bridge to try and bite out of whatever goes on the bridge. 5:39 You can make Motorbug have a revving before charging at Sonic to ram him when they spot Sonic in a straight line view. 5:41 Crabmet(don't know how to spell its proper spelling.), make it snap it's pincers from either of it's side whenever Sonic is within range or when they reach the end of their paths(just so the players know that they can attack you now and not just because of hitbox contact.). 7:22 Make that invincibility for 9 to 12 seconds to make the players hurry up because of their screw ups or have it shorten time span every time you it happens until you leave the stage or clear it. Lastly, five things: 1. Make the stage longer and not just make it wider, just widening it makes the stage feel short. 2. Where's Sonic Ground Spin Dash? 3. Sonic has a short slow walk before gaining speed when walking/running. 4. Camera Screen is too far out, zoom in a bit. 5. Where is Sonic's Blur effect when he's spins when jumping?

to fix the ring lag issue (probably wont work but my idea) 1 idea: make it 20 rings instead of 200 or 100 2 idea: make it so rings wont collide for a moment so they wont make lag
