This one took a while to make because of quality control. The month and a half I couldn't use my PC gave me some trouble, I lost my sense of volume balance, and forgot some of the things I do when making a song. It also took a while because of the mock-up pic, and the title animation for which I had to make a new project file from scratch to make it more automatic and faster to make, because the file I had before used frame pictures, literally over a 100 PNGs put one after the other every frame instead of just making pictures move across the screen because muh accuracy, well not anymore, it looks the same anyway. Why am I intentionally inefficient, who knows.
About the song:
This remix uses a few of the same instruments as my Red Gate Bridge remix, so it might sound similar. The bass, which both remixes take from Shining Force, in this remix was edited to sound softer. The wub thing is an edited version of a similar instrument that comes with DefleMask. Some instruments I meant to be really close to the original, and some are more in line with typical Sonic instruments, I did things that way to keep a balance between those two styles, I've learned that some songs of mine where I do that seem to come out better, Arsenal Pyramid Interior was made that way and it's one of my favorites.
This is something I haven't mentioned before, but the static-going-down effect in the noise channel would not work in some games that use it for sound effects, like Sonic 3 with things like the fire shield. Most long-winded notes could be cut off short the same way if put into a game, depending on the sound engine. It's kind of a complicated thing that I haven't had to deal with.
About the picture:
I used the same Sonic Crackers background again, also the same mountains from Rastan Saga II, but now with the addition of the Stardust Speedway Bad Future sky (credit to Hexagonal, who mixed it with some Ristar sprites and colored it close to what it looked in Forces, much appreciated). All sprites were colored with a new palette to indicate the presence of the Sun that's looming over them. It goes from yellow to pink to dark blue-ish colors, like a warm to cold sunset palette, looks really pretty.
New Avatar sprite! Edited from Sonic's turning sprite. Also updated his skin color to a brighter shade, and updated the Lightning Wispon sprite to a smaller, more colorful one. The lightning sprite is from Scrap Brain's tesla coil things.
The dialogue box was hard to draw because of its size on screen and the volume squares around the circle, and the fact that there is no full Robotnik sprite with his arms to the side, but the box is drawn in a way that should probably work for most character dialogue.
The laser sprite is an edited version of the one shot by the Death Egg boss from Sonic & Knuckles, the impact effect sprite is an enlarged edited version of the one that the miniboss has.
No Egg Pawn sprite because I'm planning ahead and want to try giving it some movement, and for that I need time, and the video took 2 weeks to make already.

Seeing Classic Eggman quoting a line by Modern, batshit crazy Eggman is surreal as all hell.

[@retrohill5848]

What makes it better is classic actually gets worried and concerned about how crazy his modern self is

[@GGYTTHEYT]

@@retrohill5848 so this is eggman's slow descent to insanity

I do! But i dream for Kingdom Valley all Acts to have a Genesis Remix. Kingdom Valley is one of the best Sonic Stage Themes.

[@shouse_zip]

Really like the detailed descriptions under your video! They give some insight into the video making process, which is cool

[@tbp1885]

Sonic & Knuckles - Death Egg (Past) BTW the music actually sounds like something from Super Mario Bros. 4: A Space Odyssey… …but better.

Great remix ^_^ Favorite song in Forces.

[@marx4538]

Sonic 3-styled characters and stage that looks like it uses edited versions of GFX from Sonic Crackers? Good stuff.

[@BunnyTPerson]

Sonic Forces could work really well as a genesis game

Don't let the sun laugh at you.

sonic forces if it was made on 1995

[@doctorstarline5647]

Are you planning to do bosses' themes? No pressure, just asking.

[@Dv2YT]

Yes. The Egg Dragoon themes are done already, but there's a lot of dubstep stuff with Zavok's and Metal's themes that are difficult to pull off, not to mention the arrangement of those is really hard, so they'll take longer to make. The Mega Death Egg Robot theme is a different thing, for the first phase I need to reuse stuff from my Iron Fortress remix, find new instruments that work with those, hopefully I won't need to leave too much stuff out for lack of room with the channels, then when making the second phase I should take the transition from the first phase into account so that they don't sound too strikingly different, and then the third phase should reuse some instruments from either of those too, to keep it all cohesive. So Infinite's first and second boss themes should come first since I already covered Theme of Infinite, but I wanna try to change the instrumentation slightly, so that could take a while too. I'll make every boss theme eventually, including Infinite's third boss theme.

[@doctorstarline5647]

Okay, take all the time you need. Thanks for the feedback! : )

[@Louiethefox]

Sonic forces if it was made in 1995 or 1996

[@Scratchthefox804]

I would say 95 or 96 since it looks a lot more advance than sonic 3

[@Louiethefox]

@@Scratchthefox804 I edited my comment already

[@MrPrzemistrz]

The graphic is inaccurate! There should be "Hover" in bottom left and ring counter should be at 999. Now more seriously: great job! :D

[@coffeeplayz3769]

Make a dang Sonic fan game somebody tried make a Sonic fan game like this but it wasn't as good because it didn't have the cool sonic 3 style Sprite work
