A solution for when Sonic enters a tunnel: The terrain around him becomes transparent, except for the tunnel, and you can see Sonic rolling through it.

[@alansmithee419]

That seems rather difficult.

[@LukeyFooty]

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.

You really don't notice how much you take newer mechanics for granted in a game until they're taken away from you.

[@bumly7149]

@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.

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 👍

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. Then in project settings modify the collision properties to avoid objects of the "ring layer" to hit other objects of the same layer. With this, the rings will collide with al objects except other rings. I hope this helps ;)

[@MidasButSilver]

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! You can set up which layers can collide with each other and which would ignore collisions - put the rings on their own layer and then disable collisions of this layer with itself, that should work like a dream.

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?

4:02 what you could've done is made the tunnel appear on the wall like the wall is invisible so you see Sonic running through it. It might even be with small transparrent squares similar to how in Mario Oddysey if something goes into the camera or if something gets too close

[@vincentphillips2933]

Ring Collision: Bring in 5 - 10 per iteration at random locations around a sphere of sonics transform.position from the object pool. Offset the next iteration by the diameter + radius / 2, etc. This will avoid object collisions.

[@blaze8862]

Could the rings just have no hit box for a split second, have them all move in separate directions, then give them a hitbox so they don't go through the floor. This would also mean the rings would have to spawn at a slightly higher location. I'm no dev but I think this could work.

[@vincentphillips2933]

@@blaze8862 Yes this approach could work also. Temporarily disabling the box collider and then enabling it afterwards could work. Another solution since the coins themselves are physical objects to be collected. Add a rigidbody and change its kinematic setting between True/False as needed. Utilizing this method should eliminate the need to enable/disable the box collider. Not only that but all collisions will still be detected in case anything else needs to be done or checked for.

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.

You missed programming the "Momentum", the Momentum is like gravity, for example.

For the ring issue. Maybe disable ring to ring collision from the collision matrix. If you still want em to bounce away maybe apply a random force to them.

If I remember correctly there is an explosion force you can apply from Unitys Physics class. If he disables collisions as you said and spawns them randomly within a small radius, they will go in different directions from that one force!

[@charliedetweiler4298]

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.

[@crueltuber2887]

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.

[@justNexi]

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

[@mpasqui228]

With unitys particles sistem

[@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)

[@AceRobloxOfficial]

6:16 How u can fix this: in the original game if you had for example 80 rings if you got hit 60 would fly out so just don't spawn all 200 rings just find a number of rings big enough so that it looks but not too small so it doesn't seem weird

[@aydinhenning2215]

Every time I rewatch one of your videos you make me want to get back into blender

[@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.

[@MDG-mykys]

0:30 omg, I forgot about that cartoon

[@steamiesandiesels1232]

[@CaptainSaumon]

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

[@EnoYaka]

I think the level should be made a bit bigger so that the loop looks more imposing and you can't just skip it easily that would also help with the speed issue.

[@littlehero360]

Also, the game limits the amount of rings is limited so it doesn't cause much lag, But this game looks great anyways thats just a nitpick anyways is there a download?

[@four-en-tee]

Couldn't you just disable physics on the rings for, like, .5 seconds? That way, they'd have plenty of time to disperse before the collision is re-enabled. Another thing you could do is write a script that allows rings to ignore collision with other rings entirely. On top of that, when you lose rings in a Sonic game, the rings that come out of Sonic are usually, like, 20 rings or something. You don't usually drop the amount you lost, that would severely reduce the challenge of the game.

[@javajuice1333]

true. but that's a cheap hax. most likely will cause other bugs to appear. someone already solved this issue though, "Daniel M."

[@lelsewherelelsewhere9435]

Couldn't the rings also "blink" in and out of existence/in the pool, and thus not need to worry about collision with each other anddd, flash as in the original game, indicating to the player that they are temporary.

How about just make all rings a trigger?

Why does sonic have 0 momentum. Hes immediately at full speed when you start to run.

[@voidshadow]

Im an unreal dev, never really used unity, but in unreal we have collision tags we can use to have the engine ignore collision calculation against entities what a matching tag. If unity has something like that it might be worth looking into. Besides that, honestly the actual sonic devs solve this issue on the genesis by spawning only a max of 20 rings. You could get around this by creating 10-stack rings, basically special rings worth 10 rings, and then just calculate the number of times your ring total is divided by 10, spitting those out as 10 stacks, and then spit out the remainder. This is over a year old and Im sure youve figured out a number of things by now

[@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

i love how the whole momentum thing is rarely utilized in the classic games and all the fanatics want it to take center stage without knowing how boring it'd be to run down the same slopes and get progressively faster over and over again without gaining anything besides wooshing up thru the air, like it's really not that essential of a game mechanic and the sensation of it dies out really fast. This is why you never see other game companies try and make their games centered around it. It's just a background element that gives a game life. tl;dr there's more to sonic games than a physics engine

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.

ADVICE 1: When Sonic is hit no matter his number of rings, he will always drop 32 rings. The rest disappear.
