SONIC ADVANCE 3 SP

A major overhaul hack for Sonic Advance 3!

Updated level design, adjusted movesets, streamlined hub worlds, and more!

[LINK BELOW]

Doing Advance 2 runs on the bus and somehow got the exact same time on both acts of Leaf Forest 2, how in the goddamn

@game84cube I’m not gonna lie, I’ve generally found the opposite - a lot of the younger fans are bitter or comically angry for some reason, whereas the older fans have either tuned out or just aren’t invested enough to get angry, because there’s more important things in life for them now

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

All this Sonic model talk has reminded me why I stopped discussing Sonic here… several times that past few days I’ve said something as basic as ‘I don’t think Sega will make a huge deal of a new model’ and had folks immediately jump in *furious* about it. Like, relax!

前に描いたソニックの靴についてのイラスト、勝手にソニックのデザインについての批判記事に使われてて草
別に今のソニックを批判するために描いたわけじゃないんだけどな…

@RaoniOliveira8 It was supposed to imply Sonic Forces (Project Sonic 2017) would be fully revealed at the ‘PlayStation Meeting’ event being held that year. Obviously it was just a fake image, but it got a lot of traction - Aaron Webber even stepped in to specifically deconfirm it

Primera imagen de Sonic Resist- ah no, año equivocado... Perdón🙏

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@WardenDean I spend 90% of my time on BlueSky nowadays, and for all its many many problems Sonic discussion is extremely civil over there hahaha

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@lenhishiro I do wonder if the visual update we’re getting this time is akin to the change is approach to renders (such as the 35th one), and perhaps we’ll see something more significant down the line. Hoshino highlighting the new renders as something different makes me ponder this

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@lenhishiro I think that’s fair, I’m just not expecting a significant visual overhaul for Sonic yet. Much like how bits of DK’s redesign started to trickle out pre Bananza, I’d find it odd for them to overhaul the series’ visual identity and not reflect it in the major 35th ann. promotions

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

Or worse, it being spun into ‘you just like the current model, you like slop!’ Very much a waffles/pancakes situation… I think some folks just need to step back and breathe for a moment before they post. Can’t be healthy.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS I don’t think it was. Tough shit, kid.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS You made a response that was randomly aggressive for no reason, so I pointed that out.

Next time just say ‘hey I disagree and here’s why’ and we can have a more productive conversation. Shit, I might even agree! No need for ‘you’re a MORON for thinking this’ or what have you.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS I think it was a valid point - a lot of people actually did thing they’d use a Twitter icon to announce a Sonic redesign specifically, which I thought was weird. Not saying you did! Was defo something I saw around the Rewind though.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS Referring to an earlier part of this thread with the slop thing - also barrelling in with ‘this is a MORONIC point’, etc

Can handle curse words, just feels a bit over the top for a minor disagreement about Sonic models or whatever. I disagree with folks all the time, it’s fine.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS I wasn’t being a dick, I was just chatting with Sam about my thoughts on the model situation and then everyone turns up like ‘WOAH NOW, SLOP ENJOYER’. You made a response that was immediately aggro for no reason. Just have a normal discussion.

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@BINNGGUSS If it’s some DK tier redesign, sure. I just don’t really expect that.

Also hot damn, you folks need to chill. Even if you disagree, barrelling in here screaming and swearing makes you look dense. You can just talk like an adult and have a normal conversation, Y’know?

[M.A.R.S.F.🇵🇹 (🟦 ppdppl.com) 0 comms open @PPDPPL_art]

once again, you'll have better reception outside of fan spaces if this sort of thing is presented more purely on "we like it like this" and less on "therefore like this is wrong and a mistake to be corrected"

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@azookara @PPDPPL_art I'll cut them a bit of slack for once - looking at the QRTs, it seems at least a few of the people involved wanted more time to stew on this and get the messaging polished up (potentially less... this), but someone(?) rushed them to get it out and this was the result

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@PPDPPL_art Sanding off the panel lines on my gunpla so it looks 'sleeker'

[Tracker @Tracker_TD]

@PPDPPL_art Given the prevalence of extremely detailed mech and technology in a huge range of JP works - Gundam, Toriyama's work, and even Totoya's Phantasy Star stuff that gave way to Mecha Sonic - I can't see how the added detail is taken as a 'mistake'. Bizarre.
