  1. Undertale

    Since Yume Nikki and LSD Dream Emulator, I was rather cynical toward this kind of game, but... Also, I saw lots of awesome memes on the internet. The game looks and sounds better than FNAF by miles
  2. Another Worlds Collide?

    I would rather reread the whole Pre-Genesis Sonic than looking forward for another World Collide. I feel I have attained more literary enjoyment and benefits out of them than any of these crossovers.
  3. What do you hate about the fandom?

    1. For creating silly creepypasta. Exes and dolls keep popping in when searching for character images. It's very annoying. 2. For nitpicking the quality of the games. Like RetroReview said, people will never be satisfied. 3. For lacking of real quality fanworks. Aside from poorly done GMod and flash videos with bad & sarcastic jokes, there isn't a lot of stuff to enjoy. Still prefer this fandom over DBZ's fandom, though.
  4. Hello, I'm back. Sorry for the absence. Been busy last few months because of college.

  5. The connection's healed, and I'm back from an absence... yet there's nothing new on Free Play.  I seriously wonder if it's dead at this rate.

      I would like to post, but I Don't know how to join in.

      Clame a character in the character vault and post in the realm of introduction using your character. Then wait for someone to approve

      I think maybe one or two new character would be useful to help move the game on a little.

  6. If he really get such job, he should make an RPG (similar to Battle and Chronicle). Considering how long he has handled Knothole Freedom Fighters, teamwork and character development are probably his strongest points.
  7. My Internet connection has very sluggish for an entire week, hence why I didn't come here as often. It's still laggy even now.

  8. The Happy Birthday Thread

    Happy birthday, Shadow, Dylan. I'm sorry I forgot to check this thread earlier.
  9. Sonic & Mega Man: WORLDS UNITE?!

    I pray my heart they won't get carried away with the crossover idea too much. Having crossover over and over again hurts the main story's publications and the crossovers' characterizations (appearing in a huge story just to brawl in interchangeable panels is very underwhelming). Considering the paces of Pre-Genesis era, I don't think it'll be healthy for the comic.
  10. Kingdom Hearts

    Big Hero 6? That would be very awesome. I'm surprised Square got it licensed already considering how recent that show was. The only Kingdom Heart I ever completed was Kingdom Heart 2, though. I'll get PS4 later, so I'm looking forward to this one.
  11. I'm very sorry. I sorted of skipped the sentence that says you're making a parody. Nevertheless, I still think the idea is risky. After all. There's also a chance your message won't get across the audience because of the "complete what-the-F*ck" story element. Things can turn out too silly or too offensive. If you're sure you know what you're doing, though, that's fine. Just go for it. I'll be looking forward to read your work.
  12. After 4 months of waiting, I finally get to play F1 2015 on PC. It's a very hard but a decent game, yet those "sim" gamers bash it for being a crappy game... I sometime don't understand those gamers.

  13. The very immediate problem of your fan fiction is it's too dark. Remember that grimdark in a supposedly kid-friendly setting like Sonic the Hedgehog (or cartoon animals in majority) will be easily subjected to criticism. I'm not saying it's not do-able, but you need to be extremely careful dealing with your story and you need to make sure you'll leave certain message or moral that can invoke positive reactions from the readers, toward the story, the characters, and toward you as a writer. Writing a "human god" character who's also borderline insane is a very tricky thing to do. you cannot just torture the animals graphically without a reason: there's a risk of you going too far that the grimdark overshadows the plot and the message you're going to convey. On the other hand, you cannot write this kind of story without taking a peek at a psychological aspects of the characters: things will go too light and will make the whole thing not interesting. Your narrative needs to generate enough tension and empathy to "hook" the readers to stay until the end. Personally, I don't recommend it. If you screw up by making characters too sadistic, out of characters, or/and even fail to deliver the meaningful ending and message to the readers, it's Sonic's reputation that will suffer the most. However, this is your choice. If you're really going for it, I recommend you reading some of short horror stories, particularly made by Edgar Allan Poe like The Black Cat or The Tell-Tale Heart, to enhance your techniques in writing the psychological horror genre.   I wish you the best of luck and writing development.
  14. Sonic & Mega Man: WORLDS UNITE?!

    Sticks is okay for me. especially consider the standard of the shows she's starring, She's also pretty decent in the comic. I wanna see her doing a co-op attack/move with Marine.
  15. The Happy Birthday Thread

    Happy birthday, Locke! I hope you have a great year ahead for you!
  16. Games that had an impact on you

    Here's a journey how I became a university student   When I was a kid, I played the Thai-language patched rom of Final Fantasy IV on an emulator. It gave me enough motivation to look for other Final Fantasy games in English. Soon enough I started played other RPGs. Since role playing games were heavy at language usages, my English grades became very great at schools. My English was outstanding enough I decided to master the language and joined EFL departments at the universities. Now I'm a second-class honored student on a master program.   Due to the limited time tables, I'm no longer playing RPGs, but I'll always consider them a very important part of my academic development.
  17. Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Series)

    By this point, I feel that Sonic Archie is like that little unlucky kid in a JRPG who wants to prove himself, but got criticized and betrayed to the point he becomes physically and mentally torned up, yet he still insists to go on as he believes in a better future.   Penders incident is exaggerated by this point, and I don't like it because it isn't even the comic's fault it had to reset. Sure, they could have done it better, but the new universe is not even that bad.   I, for one, have enough patiant to wait for the comic to develop and prove itself worthy. Until then, I hope everybody can finally stop b*tching about Ken Penders.
  18. Lego Dimensions

    I don't quite get it. Will it be a game? Will it be a toy line? I searched on Internet and the marketing was confusing. The packs seem to be made with real minifigs and bricks.     Hoorey for DeLorean.
  19. General Art Thread

    That looks nice, but I think the scene looks too bright. Characters' white eyes should not glow or respond the the sun that much. Amy's eye color and its reflections almost disappear due to the overwhelming light..   Nevertheless, keep up the good work, Tesla.
  20. Crossing Sonic with anything M-rated is not likely going to work in my opinion. It's like My Little Pony, the characters are not humans and therefore any questionnable mushup will easily raise eyeblows. Even a universally accepted material like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure can look jarring with Sonic, no thanks to those cheap crossovers already exist on the Internet like Five Night at Freddy's, Team Fortress 2, and Mortal Kombat.   There are cases that crossovers with something hardcore work, but those cases are usually where the authors had to put lots of efforts into them, like Silent Pony (actually tragic) and Nobita's Biohazard (hilariously bizarre). Even then they are very controversial.
  21. Other anthromorphic animal series: Doraemon Movies, Solatorobo, Klonoa, Rocket Knight, Star Fox, etc. They got Super Robot Wars and Super Heroine Chronicle, Make them a Super Animal Legend or something.
  22. How old are your fan characters?

    Arek, Seera, and Ellen are all made for a dropped RPG Maker project  in 2012, made into Mobians in 2014 because humans/outlanders are overrated.   Arek is 19 years old (but looks 9-10 years old for a specific reason). Seera is 22 years old. Ellen is 22 years old.   I made them late teens or early adults for that, after a personal observation, I concluded early teens aren't that realistic for jumping into something big and meaningful. As teen protagonists these days are so angst-ridden, 18+ are around the perfect numbers character walk pass childhood to adulthood (19th -> 20th birthday) or from bad to good adulthood (22nd -> 23rd birthday) with enough wisdom.   I have so many other characters in mind, but I reserve them for other non-Sonic stuff. I just love daydreaming.
  23. The obligatory "Post your Desktop" thread

    This is mine.  
  24. Fan Characters (Wanna see what ya made!)

    Nice coloring, Tesla. I like your arts.
  25. Sonic Runners (2015, Smartphone)

    I guess unless you love Cream (which I do), you won'r get so much satisfaction from playing with her. Easy mode characters should have been something for tutorial levels.   Why should Silver be considered an easy mode's character? In term of characterization, he's on par with Sonic and Shadow, and he's the hardest character to use in Sonic'06.
