I've tinkered around with it and not made anything of any use but after some getting used to it seemed a lot easier to use than other engines I have seen. It's very concise and without clutter, other engines with 100's of pointless features can seem daunting at first but the elegance of your engine really lends itself to usability. This one is smooth and reliable and I think my favourite part is how it has all the bells and whistles you need for a classic Sonic fangame and no more.

I must say Overbound couldn't have picked a better engine. Getting back on topic (and hopefully staying that way), this is really a fantastic engine AeroGP! I'm helping with Time Twisted alongside Overbound, purely in the sprite department right now but will soon be hoping to assist him in some coding and level design (nothing major). Is this really the place for petty squabbles over names? I'm not a mod and I really can't force you to do anything but for the sake of the thread even if you don't agree with what I've said could you try to keep the discussion like you said, on Skype? Think about how you'd feel if you posted a cool game/engine and people spent half the thread arguing about whether butter tastes better than 'I can't believe it's not butter'. But if you're stuck at Sonic Advance 4 then you're just gonna have to accept that it's such a logical and easy progression that plenty of other people will 'think' of it too. Or better yet just give it a totally original name. Games can have backgrounds, animated graphics.

Using easy-to-learn, drag-and-drop actions, you can make professional-looking games in no time. If you really care so much about the integrity of the name of your fangame then consider adding something on the end to differentiate it like, 'Sonic Advance 4: The Return Of Robotnik' or something. So, Im making a fan game.which is obvious from the title.This used to be a Classic Sonic Fangame using The Super Ring Engine V3 (A good engine. 0 Comments GameMaker allows you to make exciting computer games without the need to write a single line of code. Just calling it 'Sonic Advance 4' is so close to what Sega do that you really can't pretend to have an sway over who uses it and who doesn't. Unfortunately because so many assets used in fangames come from real Sonic games it's very hard to 'own' any ideas unless you name it completely differently, use original music and original sprites.

Sega owns the 'Sonic Advance' franchise not any of you, so don't pretend you wield any power of the use of it. Do you know how many fangames there are called 'Sonic 4' or 'Sonic 5'? It's because it's a logical step in the progression and I promise you that if you go back far enough in the fangame board or screenshots thread then there will be more Sonic Advance 4's. You cannot pretend to own the idea for 'Sonic Advance 4', it's so ridiculous I actually thought you were all joking at first.
