How It Took A YEAR To Reinvent This Sonic Game

- It took me practically a whole year to completely change the state of this sonic game, Sonic Momentum. It's time I finally update you guys and address what has been going on with this fangame. I will also be going to unveiling some of the new hidden techniques I've been using to render things through the GPU. Consider it a kind of devlog that has been long overdue I guess.

Thank you everyone for the support. But as an aside, I want to clarify any misinterpretations about aspects surrounding AI.
Please understand that AI was NOT used to create direct visuals. I don’t know where this rumor of ‘the game is created by AI’ coming from when I already made myself clear with how I used it. AI was used to help me understand shader language in order to carry out my OWN vision and methods. Ai ASSISTED with how I could code a process as my dilemmas were very nuanced. I already made a video talking about AI being used as a tool to learn NOT a replacement. You need previous knowledge, skill , and ideas to be able to utilize it in this way. Hope this helps and If you have any questions feel free to ask! Don’t just assume.
Is this Game coming on mobile?
Keep fighting the good fight, AI is a tool that can be used and misused like any other.
Hate seeing people get flak for using a tool as a tool.
Would it be free on console?
@@Volt.ageXYZ god its like you guys didnt even watch the video. the game isnt coming to mobile or console, its a fangame. pc only.
@@o0kaelas why dose my comment apply to you bud? If I wanted ur opinion I'd ask gang no fucking shit it's only for PC it's a hypothetical fucking question
I'm surprised at how well you can handle aggressive criticism especially since its coming from twitter, but I respect you for even going out of your way to confront this and still try to improve despite what most people would see as just someone being rude instead of criticism. Always looking forward to the sonic momentum updates and changes keep it up Mr. Bane :)
Never doubted you. Been following forever and you’ve always seemed to know what you’re doing. I kinda figured it was an overhaul of some sort.
Game Development takes time, and changes. Great Vid
Yo no way! Nativeball!?
AYO THAT HUNI CHARACTER DESIGN IS FIRE! I'd be so down to play a full game with her as the main character
She's also been planned to play like Sonic Rush with all the tricks and whatnot.
The combat is the best part imo. Sonic spin dashing, homing attack chains and instashield reving are fun as was the Tails boomerang movekit. Still keeping an eye on Knuckles (I guess a Pizza Tower styled combat would work?) as I never really noticed him aside from using the drill move for level shortcuts
I think adding variable Runnable walls with Arid Terrain to dig and catch objects and rings while maintaining its Momentum and pacing would be very useful for fast traveling through Zones and making a better approach to Learn all Knuckles Abilities
As a game developer myself Bane, you are a huge inspiration to me. The way you elegantly balance you game dev career with doing TH-cam simultaneously. It's insanely impressive, and the losers that ridicule online over petty nonsense will never know how much hard work you put into your craft. I hope to have a great rest of the year. And I look forward to this project in 2024.
all im gonna wish is that you utilise that huni design in the story somehow. its too good to be left into the dust.
Twitter is always makin up the dumbest excuses for using AI in ur Game, especially I don't see the point of it. Why would you be complaining about somebody using AI for their Game even tho there are literally no disadvantages for the experience of playing the game. I mean you clearly stated multiple times that you only used it to help the project and for the most part yourself to learn and understand how ceirtan things work in dev. I'm still looking forward towards the future of youre Project and I hope that you make the best of it because now it looks very promising.💙
The reason people are against using AI is because AI is built to use pre-existing content to generate "new" content whose source material often goes uncredited. As such, using AI to make something for you is not much better than plagiarism.
@@FilmBucket But what is difference using AI to take youre sources instead of like looking it up to make things complicated, also when somebody learns these things from some other people do you really thing they will get credit for teaching?
Information is still Information even if it's AI.
@@FilmBucketI understand how that’s an issue with art and music, but why is that an issue with programming?
Don’t you mean X? ☝️🤓
This fangame is the simple most genius formula for Sonic ngl. We'll keep waiting you take your time
I noticed the change, but with the aesthetics of the new cyberspace and all the shader trails, blur, distortions effects and background it still looked pretty good to me
that's great to hear, glad to have you clear things up and what has been going on,
you've been really taking all the criticisms from almost everyone to heart, keep going Bane, i may not have a PC or Laptop at the moment to play your fangame... but i'll be surely following your development on this cool project!
Very cool. Looking forward to seeing more updates in the future.
Glad to hear from you! I thought the TH-cam algorithm had died you or something so I was always checking your stuff. I appreciate the update. Can't wait to see what you develop
Bane, you're an absolute GOD. Love all that I've been seeing with Momentum.
I hope that in a future update you will also add Amy and Cream too, I really like these characters in advance 2 and 3 so I think they would be great in this game. They would be great!! 🤩
I would LOVE a mobile version ❤❤❤
There is already one
@@Hassanthedude203 yeah now there is one. I was waiting for this for so long ! I play it alot !!!
YOU ARE AWESOMEEE BTW the "huni" character you teased in your video is kinda fire.
Bro your the guy who made sonic momentum my favorite game of 2023 asome work
I was one of the more skeptical dudes when it comes to the prior iteration of this game. But honestly? You friggin cooked with this beta.
You left me speechless. Bro, your game and, well, everything you done here proves you are incredible. Have a nice year's end and a nice start for the next!
I never knew you existed till today. That game design looks fire. Hope I get to play it one day.
The amount of frisson I got upon seeing that Huni design! 🎉
idk what everyone is on about it looks perfect
Pretty cool. I like what I'm seeing with this fangame. So you're still using Game Maker Studio with this, right? Or did you use a different engine now? What are you using for the 3D texture to help you with the level building? It's impressive. I still like making my own personal tilesets if I can. Gives it a personal touch, you know?
Can't wait to see this in its complete form.
As a Sonic-like game fan, I'm very curious about an original game made up with this engine
Seems promising
the hype is through the roof right now
been following the project for a long while now, super happy to see this one. you're doing great bro 💖💖
after 2 years finally i found the man who made this game
As someone that has a mostly broken laptop.
*I love you. :')*
gosh i need those sprites :o
I personally play for fun, not the graphics.
Hella epic. nice vid.
TAILS IS BACK!!!
The twitter dude(mediumSmokes) is the same person who geniunely likes sonic forces and 100% it with no shame...
First video I've seen from you. Gotta say, this is pretty impressive, will def play this when it comes out.
would absolutely buy that huni game, great design and this gameplay is only getting better by the looks of it.
I'm so excited for 2024 because of SMomentum now!
HECK YEAH BABY IM GLAD I NEVER STOPPED WATCHING
Also I just gotta say this is one of the best 2d fangames I’ve seen!
Ignore them they only want attention,drama and clout don't give these people your time and I'm definitely looking forward to this new demo of sonic momentum
YAYY I WAS WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED TO HUNI
DON'T BOTHER TRYNA PLEASE TWITTER KIDS.
100% Agreed
The auto texture doesn't feel right. It is like if green hill texture was only the brown/dirt checkboard pattern. You are missing the grass and other details.
The bevel effect, with shadows on the bottom and the outline to contrast it better against the background is useful, but i feel it is not enough for that 2d sonic style people are used to.
Maybe something like 9-slice or blob tilesets (but with the shader help so it can work on non 90deg angles)
¡Como ha cambiado este juego desde el SAGE 2022! ¿Es la versión 4.0 la mas actual? Pienso hacer un vídeo en mi canal sobre tu juego. Espero que no haya problemas al respecto. 😁Al jugar esta actualización, siento que Sonic se siente muy pesado al iniciar, aunque cuando ya alcanza velocidad se vuelve mas ligero. No sé si es porque lo probé en un pc mas viejo, un Core 2 Duo que uso para el trabajo. Ahora mas tarde lo jugaré en la que uso para hacer los vídeos que es una i5 de cuatro núcleos. ¡Saludos!
Even though this is the first time i'm hearing of it, as a budding gamedev myself this all has provided plenty of insight for me. While I may be using Godot instead of Game Maker 1, it's still invaluable to know how to approach developing games. Everything flowed very well in the video; and while it may not be too technical, i'm curious about further updates on Sonic Momentum. If there's ever the potential for a gamedev playlist detailing your experiences on building a Sonic fangame, i'd be all for watching and taking notes.
There's a lot out there that I need to learn, anyways.
Hey BaneStudio. Really happy to hear about your upcoming work! I’ve been trying to find out which song by yinshon is at the outro but I couldn’t find it. Could you please share the name of the outro song? Thank you!

I think this game needs a tile engine.
W SONIC GAME!!!
I loce your editing can you teach me how
bro i cant lauch sonic momentum v 4
May i ask why do you need administrator on my pc?
you need admin for most games that you download
if you’re that concerned play the web version
that one scratch game
When will you release the complete fangame? I see that you add and add to it and there is already a lot and nothing that you release something, a new demo or something
He released the beta 3 months ago for gods sake be patient
Can u pl make a Mobile port of this Masterpiece
Goat
please make multiplayer & co-op to race with different characters
if possible add Tails Doll almost not a single game have him !...
How do you feel about Amy?
You should have be more clear about this test phase before, i though it was just a permanent change and though this game just lost his own magic due to the critic on the 1st release
From my pov i was seeing and update that lost the precious art style and the playable characters...
So thag made me lost interest, addint more levels thag looked the same, and when playing force me to play hyper good to get double S rank to move to the next was not so good for me so i uninstalled quickly and just move on,
But if you now learn, want to make the game better and have already a solid plan on how to do it then well i've be waiting for the next release and play it and look how much evolved, just try to give a good impression and be as pasionate about the game as you can
And dont get me wrong cyberspace look, is great, i really like cyberspace amd remember me to those advance levels like cybertrack,
But i tough it was weird and bad to get rid of phantasmal forest even when the level was already done, and the emerald coast one too, it was like, okay do a new cyberspace stage or 4 of them equal for test level design,
But why you took the same level design you have for phantasmal forest and just clear everything to put the generic and unoriginal taken from frontiers cyberspace background?
Just let things be varied and make me got hype when every level blast aesthetic you can do (even if you have to take more time for that, you have a great taste on how to make things look pretty, and i think thats the strongest point in Sonic momentum, you should let that being intact as you can, and be clear with what frameworks are just a test for you and dont represent what you want for the final game at all
In any case keep trying i think what sonic momentum need more is to have their visual and graphical identity to be recognized and focuses too on their level design, you have a really different style of gameplay and typic sonic stage cant work as well as always, so you shoul try to stop taking original levels layouts to test and make a level and keep improving into that with a strong feedback help, make a new itiretation of the path design of classic sonic but involving combat and speedruning idk but i think you get me...
This game needs this identity to bright and be that big one it can be in the fan comunity
So good luck bane :D
I don't know if there's a clear solution besides the one you proposed (a really neat one of yours honestly) but Something like a Filters option to change the game's look of choice and overall appearance manually or depending of many values that change it's intentional base look would be cool. Just to better the visuals while retaining it's visual direction with only one focused style. (It's just a suggestion of mine, so take it with a grain of salt)
Is this ganna be on moible
Please, I beg of you, make it mobile cause I play on iPad and have no laptop
Same
Can I play this on Steamdeck?

All I ask is that you make Sonics model bigger. Just like in frontiers, he’s way too tiny
It's not a model, it's a sprite and it's not Sonic's size, it's the camera distance
@@etherealhatred he refuses to change his camera distance, so I would at least hope he makes the sprite at least a little bigger to compensate
Or just simply add a camera option to zoom in and out manually (with a buttons schemes probably) in any angle where Sonic or any other character would still be visible in the game screen, at the same time allowing more actions like taunts/posing where it executes a camera close-up showing up a displayed animated taunts/poses.
I don’t like the thumbnail, feels a bit clickbait which you don’t need
Deal with it, the creation, the effort put into it and it's real intentions has more value than a overused deranged and wrongly used pixel filled square (of course nobody likes clickbait tho, still you're just missing the point here)
@@jojoojoratti123 I’m just saying I don’t like the thumbnail and it feels a bit clickbait. I’m not missing any point, just saying my opinion
@@Zomboy4313the point is that you should be focused on the video itself and not from what it looks to you, it's ok that you want to express an opinion. But think that nowadays and Clickbaity content won't disappear even if you don't like it, just move on and enjoy whatever you want without being that judgemental and wait for the good recommendations by searching good things that you like the most, being supportive as the creator learns and improves to give you that.
@@jojoojoratti123 I watched the video, was good. Just the thumbnail
@@Zomboy4313 okay.
Please make for android
It's already for android
@@Soapy699 How to download it
@@Soapy699 and where to download
@@Geometryduudez th-cam.com/video/iKCdJyS04Bo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=abul1fnycmJp8Uiy
@Geometryduudez search up sonic momentum android and there should be a video then go to the desc and there's a link
A generic, waifu-bait indie title is way dumber and unappealing than Momentum. 7:24
Ok but at least it can be published, the option is there
honestly who ever made those tweets are actually losers
my issue is why didn’t you let twitter know of this sooner instead of touching on “drama” that nobody remembers
Because he shouldn't have to "let Twitter know" to begin with, people with this mentality is the problem
You guys give Twitter too much power and that's why being a preachy asshole who thinks their opinions are facts are the norm on Twitter and why so many projects end up being cancelled because no one on that website can act like a normal human being with opinions and instantly become experts and try to teach how to do things correctly even tho they have never even touched a line of code or the subject they're "criticizing"
Is it his responsibility to publish every single thing he is doing? Why does he to detail all the progress when his project isn’t even ready yet.
@@Zimran03 at least explain that the game is going to be toned back for futureproofing
which is what he is doing now, but let him make announcements when he is ready to make announcements @@thatashgirly
Do NOT simplify the game!
He’s not simplifying it
Remember when you named it frontiers yeah you dont deserve any fame
No one named it Frontiers. It’s always been Sonic Momentum .
Me when i spread misinformation on the internet for attention:
@@BaneStudio that's Funny Cuz I Remember on Twitter you Named it Sonic Frontiers or Sonic Frontiers 2d like Fuck off
@@etherealhatred These clout chasers seriously need to touch some grass hahah, but seriously i hope for the next year to not be as troublesome as many others happened to be for... reasons, when the next Sage happens i'll bondly wish the best for all future projects to come!🎄💖
That sonic. whatever pfp is Sus
Haters be hating
Exactly
Thanks for infecting my pc appreciate it
Ahhh good old Smokes the very BANE of my existence hah see what I did there
could anyone tell me where does animated 2d clips in the video are from?
The ones at the beginning are from the Sonic Dream Team intro
I need the outro song name its so good
In the description, it’s by rosy so you’d have to message them about it
I had a idea i never shared out or talked about it, i wanted to see some games have spin-dashes that create sparks or are use for a variety of combat just like ssbu (Super smash bros ultimate series.). Spin dashes have became useless sometimes
Can you do a tutorial on your game or like a playthrough. I want to see what the game is supposed to be played
The one thing that strikes me is both the background and platforms being way too bright in that one stage.
Will you move your project into GameMaker Studio 2?
Dude, original game maker no longer exists and studio 2 is the only version now
@@CassiusStelar Really? if that's so well, that's sad, since it was such a cute beginners tool for many people and then they drop it like it was nothing, even if it wasn't as optimal it still what lead many people to learn and stay focused on programing language and coding and indie videogame development.
Actually now that i think of it, what about moving it to GODOT Game Engine?, it will allow him to import its projects to C++ for many devices to just run games without optimization problems, and it's totally free to use and download, sure unless you want to support the developers who created that wholesome engine and it's wonderful growing community with a tip, which is totally fine.
Please bring your fan game to Android to please
SEGA needs to hire you, bro. I know I might be crazy, but this dude deserves more praise.
Remember Sonic Mania? The developers wanted nothing but original stages, but we all know how SEGA (or rather SEGA Sammy) operates.
