March 2014 - update news - Ashura: Dark Reign

Update!:

Its been 15 months since I made an update on the game.

ADR had a lot of setbacks due to lack of time working on the project, 2013 was personally a busy year for me. Code issues after updating to recent versions of SonicGDK breaking certain code functions within ADR.

Luckily 40% of the code had to be redone, which was a blessing in its own right as the code in ADR needed some serious clean up work.

So whats done:

* Sonic can NOW Grind on Rails. (Quick Stepping on Rails not yet coded.)
(Built Grinding system to incorporate Chemical pipe traversal, and Water slides.)

* Companion code functions having to be redone due to compatibility code issues in SonicGDK.
(Tails can still at least follow Sonic.)

* Air diving now possible.
* Take Control of Tails to carry Sonic.
* New Shield material updates.
* New animations for Sonic and Tails.
* Old animations tweaked.
* Badnik Processing Facility level started.
* Updated Sonic, Tails, and Ashura models.
* Facial rigs added to Sonic, Tails and Ashura.
* Updated Sonic code to incorporate advanced features not found in SonicGDK.
* New monitor type added.
* Updated visual effects - Invincibility, Stomp FX added,
* Re-implemented kick physics when smashing Badniks.
* Advanced Badnik code to spawn customizable amount of destroyed parts, and spawn Furries/Flickies that run away.

Job Role:
