the sonic-surge dilemma

well if sonic is with surge then how did sonic get with surge then it is confusing for anyone who does not know what i did i set my game slightly after opensurge so if alexandre likes this then after surge defeats gimacian than it will open a portel thus destroying gimacian and accidentally sends sonic into surges world so yeah confusing.

Re: the sonic-surge dilemma

it is a non-canon game it is just a game so sonic-surge never really came together

example "PARADOX!!!!!!!"

Re: the sonic-surge dilemma

Open Surge started up as Open Sonic, but due to copyright issues we decided to recreate all content and replace them with our own. This way we won't infringe on SEGA's assets. Something I totally concour with.

Re: the sonic-surge dilemma

so your saying just change the palette and the name then boom, right?
and i would name my character but then it would not be called sonic x opensurge,
it would be...*example* aron, oh that's what i should name him.

Re: the sonic-surge dilemma

Yeah that's about it. I know that there is a bunch of Sonic fan game sites, but since this game engine is open source we decided that it would benefit this game if it was about some other characters:

Sonic got replaced with Surge
Tails got replaced by Neon
Knuckles got replaced by Charge

I'm not sure what Tux does in the game though, but it's a cool addon no less.

0.1.2 was just basically ripped content from a sonic game. It looked cool, but there was something that didn't feel right. Open Surge got started to create a Sonicesque open source game similar to Secret Maryo Chronicles is a super mario world based open source game.
