DESCRIPTION


This mod introduces a much bigger to come mod for SADX, where I plan on adding tens of levels and even write a story and everything.

So far I've finished entirely Sonic, Shadow and Metal Sonic's gameplays (well, except for Neo Metal Sonic that is not done yet, but almost). So the mod only lets you play as Sonic, Shadow, and Metal Sonic.


You can also swap characters midlevel.



Controls are all explained in the README (as there's a lot of changes)






SPECIAL THANKS

To make a mod this big, I'm of course, not alone.

I've been helped by a lot of awesome people.



First of all, as none of this could have been possible without his technical knowledge and kindness : MainMemory who helped me on so many aspects I can't even tell.

Then Kell for his support on Shadow's character model creation

Sewer56lol for testing the mod, and helping me with the trailer video

ItsEasyActually for help on various stuff

SonicFreak94 for global knowledge on sprites and shaders

Nibroc-Rock for his fanarts (used for example for the character select screen) and some HD models parts (like the HD soap shoes, bounce bracelet to name a few)

Jogita6 for his Sonic's running animation

KNOWN ISSUES


- BACKUP YOUR SAVE AS I PUT AND REMOVE UPGRADES, SO YOU MAY LOSE YOUR UPGRADES.

- There's sometimes random crashes (one's cause have been identify though : don't use Chaos Spear in Twinkle Park act 1)

- Don't try pinball tables, they are broken

- Don't go to Chao World, it crash

- Metal Sonic can't get on the snowboard in IceCap act 3 for some currently unknown reason. You can still restart and use it normally.

- Sometimes, Shadow lose all his momentum when punching (happens especially in speed highway)

- Copspeeders (those sort of flying monkeycars in SpeedHighway) do weird things but it was like that originally. It just doesn't mix well with my mod.
