Sonic Robo Blast (SRB1) | SAGE 2020 Demo

Honestly the little stretch added to the jumping animation is such a little thing that makes it look so much better.

[@madteo7248]

It kind of Reminds me of old cartoon squash and stretch physics

[@blublur437]

@@madteo7248 yeah it's pretty great. one of the reasons it's considered one of the principles of animation is just how much life it gives the motion. Also really awkward frames to make jokes about.

[@madteo7248]

Thalia Silva yeah very true

[@brinst_ar]

Finally a fan game that adds that first Drag frame to the jumping animation. I aways thought it would be a good addition

[@herr_crustovsky]

In an animation we call a drawing like that "drag", smears are for more extreme rapid changes from one position to another. But yes, good addition!

[@brinst_ar]

@@herr_crustovsky oh nice. I'm still a amateur animator so it's good to learn these terms.

YES!

[@fitzgeraldsatori-gameplayi5552]

They're somewhat identical in terms of design, but let's make em harder, which is a nice touch

[@FoxMan_FF]

Well, this just made 2020 a whole lot better! Update: I still hold true to my opinion that the announcement of a full-on remake of one of the oldest Sonic fangames of all time is still one of the best things to come out of 2020.

[@carabr2222]

Yes

​​@@PsiicrowSuper late, but yeah, this is true. Mostly vanished after the standardization brought on by Adventure and was a niche thing before then, but, yeah, it happens in the CD intro and OVA alongside those scrapped sprites in CD.

[@herrice3227]

Absolutely gorgeous character animation! Haven't seen such a nice looking Sonic fan game since Overture. The music is lovely too. Can't wait to see the finished game!!

[@GenEric1305]

Dang, now how long has it been since I heard “Overture”? That was one of the first fangames I ever saw.

[@SegaMario]

@@GenEric1305 Right? It was such an awesome concept as a prequel to Sonic 1 and utilizing scrapped concepts like Eggman in his Pyjamas and the Rabbit character concept being made into his own character.

What happened to Overture... it was such a genius concept. It's been so long.

[@blacksunshine7485]

2:13 the music has a part of 2.2 Greenflower in it!

[@guffingtonreal]

Th intro to act 1 is also GFZ1. Act 2 has they call me sonic, and the act 2 boss theme is just a straight up remix of the SRB2 boss theme.

[@bluestartalron8502]

Already finished the demo, quite an incredibly fun fangame! I didn't expect to see SRB2 shields though was happy to, and the physics feel incredibly satisfying... also like SRB2. Excellent job! I look forward to seeing how development goes over the coming years.

[@superkoopa3695]

I always though the sonic robo blast series took place after generations and before adventure, because the way the thok works in both games reminds me of when classic sonic was practicing it in generations’ final cutscene.

[@Mugen2024]

the last fangames are having several original sprites, this is good

[@sanicmaniac]

This went from... *_Sonic Robo Blast 1_* ... to a game that looks as good as Sonic Mania. Edit: Okay now that I have a comment with enough likes that people will see it, how do I download the backgrounds and music lol Edit: ok I found the music

[@-PV-]

>to a game that looks as good as Mania Lol comparing this to Mania is an insult, this remake looks and plays twice the game Mania will ever be.

[@milkshaketm1200]

@@-PV- haha popular thing bad pls laugh

[@-PV-]

@@milkshaketm1200 Never said Mania was a bad game, I like Mania but I would never consider it a game that is more soulful or as good as most 2D fangames shown on SAGE this year, so no I am not a smartass contrarian like you would make me out to be I simply don't think Mania has the same level of soul or goodness as something like SRB!, Sonic Galactic or Quantum Collision.

[@-PV-]

Or even earlier examples like the Sonic Neo Genesis, Emerald Ties SAGE 2016 demo

[@ArpeggioPegasus]

Mania is overrated. There, I said it.

[@SilusThePhantomIsAwesome]

Man, looking at SRB1 being remaked this way, is beautiful...

[@WakoDoodle]

Wow, this feels like an actual Sonic 4. Like they made sonic 4 right after sonic 3, its got that nostalgic feel of the 90's I remember getting playing sonic cd, sonic R, sonic 3d blast and sonic 3 on pc ^^

[@dragonick2947]

I really love the rearrangement of Sonic Electronic used by both this and the original SRB1. In fact, in the new version, you can even hear hints of Greenflower Zone.

[@FlowJoeCartoons]

This has to be one of the best looking sonic fan games I've ever seen! Excited for the full remake to come out!

[@ramonraccoon1324]

The SRB series never seems to fail me SBR2 and SRB Karts are a blast to play with people and by yourself I can't wait to see what this game becomes

[@SonicPrimus]

This is very well made! This looks like an amazing predecessor to what would be an equally high quality game in and of itself. I hope that this SRB1 remaster goes well!

[@goojo173]

0:24 Gotta love how they put in a reference to NINTENDO HIRE THIS MAN. Sega should give this guy a job.

[@chrisronin]

that subtle ym2612 rendition of sonic electronic.

[@GreatFox42]

I love how the first two acts remix that odd Sonic Elecontric song. Truth be told I've always loved that song, and it was the song used for the original first level of the original SRB1.

[@misteakable8784]

Finally, I'm glad they didn't insert the srb1 remake levels in srb2 again this is so much better

[@ChibiTheEdgehog]

Sega should hire you guys. I just love everything about this. From sprite animation to the music. Keep up the great work.

[@Tozito911]

[@LoganTGaming]

There might be another origin, but Sonic's impatient pose at 0:23 reminds me of Rouge's ignorant pose from Sonic Battle.

The original sonic robo blast 1 that came on the 90 had like that sanic-like graphics with choppy control but really impressive to be made in from like literally the 90s! This remake does a perfect gob recreating the original robo blast and making new stuff and from SRB2 if the original didn't have a lot i don't know. Also love the credit easter egg fancreator is respecting their legcy. My opinion basically is decent! In thid is *decent.*
