Surely you can't have forgotten the "Sonic Crackers" era of fangames!
There's a SRB2 top-down mod that looked pretty neat last I saw videos of it. I'm not sure it's the same one I'm seeing on YouTube right now, though.
(I know neither of these two are technically "isometric", more 3/4ths overhead.)
Sounds good to me, mind linking to the latter at least?
I uh...never took notice of the Crackers era of fangames XP
I think it's this? https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=42317
Honestly I've nver played it, I just recalled seeing videos of it or something like it on Twitter a while back.

Played it. Level design gets ROUGH after a while. Somehow it actually makes it feel more like the OG 3D blast: there's a bunch of areas where you need to platform perfectly or you're going to do it again. Just like the random platforms in the original games where you sometimes pass though them because the collision detection is far from perfect.
Also, the special stages are a nightmare. I don't like Sonic 2 style ones and in this fangame they seem to be too fast for my liking.
Besides that, it's kinda of a cool fangame. Nice graphics overall and some interesting bosses (though they can be pretty hard). I'm going to try to finish it later.
in short, it's the perfect remake!
(half joking but i'm not sure how you could really adapt 3D Blast into 2D more accurately without being extremely frustrating and having level design that's kind of antithetical to the character's movement abilities)
Yeah, probably for the best that they didn't bring over the Flicky gimmick from 3D Blast but it certainly would've helped to differentiate it more from the glut of other 2D fangames. Or at least have the Flickies hidden throughout the stages and have them provide power-ups and score bonuses.
This is a pretty cool take presentation wise, clearly taking cues from non-sonic games but in a way that still feels juuuuuust about like it all fits. Also, I absolutely love that alarm sound effect. Where did they get that from?
Don't know, sounds Neo Geo-ish.
This mod is strange, the music towards the end of the stage on the ship scratches odd parts of my brain. The video is hard to wrap my head around. It all kind of looks like some kind of bonus stage for Sonic Mania that is clearly a crossover with another game or something. It all looks very good and there's a lot to digest there.
I haven't seen the picture anywhere else, so I assume you took it, right?
Never mind, just found out.

You can buy t-shirts with it on them too. I especially like the all-black design even if it's harder to read.
Do you know how many additional fan levels has PC Sonic Mania?
Also, do I need to forget a new Sonic game announcement this Not-E3?
Yeah, what's going on with these Mania stage mods? Are they piecemeal, created by different individuals? Are they all part of one great hack? And what's the context of these hacks? Will they just replace the normal zones or will they be tacked on, allowing you to potentially create a massive library of playable stages to go through in a single playthrough?
As far as I know there was one mod that was essentially 3-4 different classic Sonic stages "Mania-fied" and were released as a stage pack mod called the Mistfits Pack. Beyond that I don't know.
The one I'm waiting on before double-dipping on a PC copy of Sonic Mania is the Amy Rose mod. Correcting a grave injustice. But hopefully not at the expense of another character.

what if Amy was in Sonic Mania Plus?

Yeah, Aaron started from the fan community, and it's amazing to see him moving upward. Best of luck to him.
So are we feeling a new game announcement Tuesday? They seem to make a habit of announcements on Sonic's birthday.
Not particularly. I think the announcement to release window will be shorter this time.
Unfortunately Mania modding hasn't reached the point where they can add all new character slots. Amy currently replaces Mighty in that mod.The one I'm waiting on before double-dipping on a PC copy of Sonic Mania is the Amy Rose mod. Correcting a grave injustice.

Yep. Aaron's comments a few weeks back seem to indicate we're not getting announcement. It's just really annoying that this event is hosted on Sonic's birthday because it increases expectations of people.
I hope so.
Dream: a bombastic return to form with blistering new gameplay trailer powered by high end tecnology.
Real possibility: CGI trailer that gives us more doubts than answers
Why would that be at a general gaming event tho? That announcement doesn't really fit.
This remix CD came out a few days ago and it's on Spotify. It's a pretty fun megamix, they pull from everything lol
Tuesday just so happens to be the New Game + event as well (which is where a lot of Japanese companies are showing their E3 stuff. So who knows.

Sonic just does not fit in an event filled with niche Japanese publishers, Sega/Atlus being the biggest names on the list. Seeing Sonic fans hype themselves for NG+ Expo is like that truck crashing into the pillar gif.
There was something planned for SXSW which was delayed to April, then indefinitely, that could come out this week. Obviously they're holding a lot back for Sonic's 30th next year.
the track list was arranged by ohtani, so he's a little biased

I have to say this is pretty great. Been listening non-stop since yesterday.
