So I saw this posted over on Sega-16 and SegaXtreme. I thought it might be something fun to start playing around with when I get the time. The engine and tools can be found here on the creators site: www.jo-engine.org/It seems pretty straight forward to use and is written in C. It also comes with some nice editing tools:  And there's a Sonic Demo the author wrote a while back: I figured I'd post this if anyone here wanted to try playing around with it. Also a while back we discussed doing a group homebrew project, this might make it a bit more doable if anyone still wanted to do that. |

This is awesome. How long has it been around? I like that the guy is a Saturn enthusiast too so we may see bigger things in the future.

Ive checked SegaExtreme out, seems to be very light on participation. I could be wrong though?

Wow this looks really cool. I've always wanted to start screwing around with some game stuff in my spare time. I know how to program, but I've never applied it towards anything game-related.

So I saw this posted over on Sega-16 and SegaXtreme. you're welcome to participate on segaxtreme too I do post there from time to time. If I can find time to start playing with this I might start posting there more often. I've had some ideas bouncing around in my head such as seeing if I can create a DDR clone that's based on Stepmania so the timing is correct and people could just put in their favorite stepmania files for the songs they want. Another one I had that might be fun for a group project was to see if recreating Sonic CD for the Saturn was a possibility with it. Most of the info for creating an accurate classic Sonic engine is on SonicRetro, so I'd imagine it could be pretty doable. |

Well if we wanted to jump into doing that, the info on Sonic's physics and what not can be found here: info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_Physics_Guideinfo.sonicretro.org/SCHG:Sonic_CD |

Interesting to look at those links you provided. Ive always wondered why Sonic CD wasnt included on Sonic Jam and perhaps it was just programmed alot differently.

I guess if they could, they would have put Knuckles Chaotix, Sonic CD, Spinball on the same disc. |
