Out of Russia, SFG Already Getting Praise
This Sonic Fan Game may be one to watch if it makes it to SAGE.
It’s a good thing, then, that some in the community are trying to push the expo as a means of exposure for zykov eddy, who first showed off a demo of Sonic the Hedgehog 3D this week on Sonic Fan Games HQ. We have a video of it below that includes more than 3 minutes of gameplay footage. The 3D game is, according to him, based on the Build engine, ported to Eduke 32.
If the video suits your fancy, you can download the large demo here. We’ll keep an eye on this one and see if it shows up proper at SAGE 2009 in a few weeks.

I’ve seen better, nee, MUCH better than this. Ashura: Dark Reign, anyone?
Ya but that requires unreal tournament. This is one of the few 3D fangames made basically from scratch.
I just played it. It’s pretty fun. It could use some improvements with controls, It also needs improvements with the script, I’m not sure if the English is bad on purpose (Seems to have a lot of All you base are belong to us references) but still.
It’s definitely a good start.
hooray for uncontrollable forced speed booster sections and bodysliding super forms
Normally when somebody goes left or right their bodies also tend to face that general direction.
Just letting you know.
Agree’d with Mike, and the engine needs a load of work; like a lot of other 3D Sonic fangames, the controls are slippery.
It does needs work and is far from finished, but what he has so far looks pretty durn good.
“Where are we?”
“It looks like Green Island Zone.”
With all those similar names in the Sonic Universe, I’ surprised the characters can keep track of them all. Or at least Tails can, lol.
Anyway, the game looks like a generic platformer at the moment since it’s so early in developement. Should I predict this will never be finished like so many other Sonic fangames out there?
Very nice ~ and fun to play too, a good download to pass the time to mess around, I hope to see the controls tightened, and the game FINISHED of course.
The game will never be finished, Malady.
Sega won’t let it happen.
Their plane is run out of fuel.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Hmm… interesting.
Good to see Eddy’s stuff is being reported. I see some complaints here on the site that aren’t really fair, you’ve gotta know some of the flaws are just part of the Build engine which is over 12 years old now. This “Sonic game” is actually a Duke Nukem 3d modification and an impressive one at that, even if it doesn’t beat some of the commercial stuff that’s been released.
Eddy, bravo!! That will be great fan game
))
Good 2see Russian fan gaming is becoming so great.
“Sega won’t let it happen.”
They have no say on the matter unless they plan on selling the game.
@Mike
>Sega won’t let it happen.
Source? SRB2 is better than this (although it is almost finished so that follows quite naturally) and Sega haven’t actually stopped them. I am out of the loop with Sonic fan games at the moment though, so please do tell if Sega have started squashing fan games and back it up, otherwise you sound rather silly.
