Watch Some New Video, then Play it For Yourself
In the melee of all the past month’s news, we overlooked something that occurred in the middle of May–the version 1 release of the next edition to Sonic Nebulous.
The fan game, a product of Ironrind, saw its release on May 10th, and you can download it through this link.
But just because it’s version 1.0 doesn’t make it the final release. The original Sonic Nebulous saw several updates and releases spanning a timeframe of months. In fact, progress continues on the game’s engine, as demonstrated by two more videos Ironrind released since the 1.0 build. Those are available below, and they showcase a test of 360-degree platforms, and character interaction.

…I’m sorry, the art in this game really, REALLY bugs me. The characters’ poses and proportions are so strange and unnatural, not to mention that every character has the same expression on their face: (-_-) or (c-_) . It just seems really dull, does this game have some sort of ‘dark’ story? Plenty of anime (and old cartoons) have ‘dark’ stories and their colors are often vibrant and flashy, with characters displaying *gasp* emotion. Sorry, but this art is unacceptable (and again, so are the weirdo animations).
Amy looks like a slut, Tails looks like he’s about to cut someone, and Cream just looks horrible.
Yep this is a sonic fan game alright
I find it sad that I’d actually be interested in the game if it wasn’t for the overall look of it.
…Why does Amy look like some whore on the street, and why does Tails look like he became addicted to meth?
This freaking sucks. As it always did. Sucky concept, sucky game, sucky art. Major fail.
@Whacky: So true, so true.
This is just plain ugly… Really UGLY!!!
and that ladies and gents is how you not make a Sonic game…sorry lad…
To think people said if SEGA listened to the fans they’d be better off.
Just don’t tell the creator that his game sucks and is devoid of all emotion and creativity, you’ll get blocked like I did.
Oh, and the game looks terrible, too.
Also I’m going to say it since I can’t on the YT videos themselves and more people here aren’t sucking the creator’s cock over his pretentious videos.
SONIC NEBULOUS: Where Dimps’ level design goes to die
Also “hurrgenerictechnoineveryvideo” :V
Not to add to anyone’s thoughts. . . but . . . .
Words cannot describe how FAR from a Sonic game this is. . . I would dive into details. . . but it’s not even worth it -_-lll
Yeeeeaaaah.
File this under ‘Do Not Want’.
Sorry bro, the art direction is just too bland, and the gameplay looks kinda iffy. Do yourself a huge favor, and redo all the art assets. If you want anyone to even take a second glance at this game, that is.
Everybody is rough against this fan game, for once someone is trying something original…
Personally, I haven’t gotten past the first level yet, but let me state that a clock tower in Knothole is a breathtakingly original idea for a “first level,” or for any level in a Sonic game, really. The level design… well, I haven’t yet finished exploring it, but truth be told, what I have explored is driving me crazy — I keep falling in the same pit, thanks to all the trouble that set of three rotating gears around the tree trunk has given me! (It’s NOT impossible to jump the gears and get to solid ground, thankfully — it’s just really… well, hardcore, at least from my own video game noob’s perspective.)
As for Cream’s design, it’s annoying that she can’t fly, but considering the weather in that level, it’s no wonder she’s wearing a woolen hat over her ears, so at least it makes sense in the setting. (Don’t know why she’s got bare legs, though.) I’ll admit that this doesn’t look very much like a “Sonic” game, and it’s certainly not without its faults, but it’s also not without merits. I just haven’t seen enough of either to really pass judgment yet, so I’ll (thankfully) refrain from joinging in the usual bashing that this game has received.
its perfectly fine to try something original…unless it turns out like THIS.
What the hell is up with the dead forest color art style and the uncanny valley character design for this game? Tails looks like a addict and Amy looks like some sort of prostitude…
the art is dull and bland and SUPER weird but is soo original. in a way i hate it cuz its ugly and just sooooo unlikeable, but i respect it becouse its just so i dont know profound. i think people are right when they say amy looks like a prostitute and tails looks like a meth head but its kinda its kinda cool in a surreal and wacko way. Anyway ive never played the game but they can say they got at least one fan of the art, ironrind dont change a thing!
