    Hey, I'm the main background and enemy artist of Sonic Boll.
    Gonna be honest, the name "boll" doesn't actually mean anything, it's a butchered spelling of "ball" that was only supposed to serve as a project title, but the game became too big to change it so we wound up stuck with it.

    • @ShibuNub3305
      @ShibuNub3305 3 года назад +484

    Hey, I'm the guy making Sonic Advance Revamped; thank you so much for playing my game and for talking about it here!!!! I really, really appreciate it and I'm honored that you enjoyed it :') The video is wonderful and so kind even down to the more oddball titles shown off, and you introduced me to some fangames I didn't even know about that I definitely want to check out now! The history touched upon was also really cool to see, too (Ultimate Flash Sonic was actually one of the main inspirations for my game!)
    My game has been on both hiatus and very slow progress moving to a better engine on a better software, but things like this drive me to keep working on it, and to set aside more time dedicated to working directly on the game again. Thank you so much, again!!!
    In the meantime, I absolutely 100% recommend checking out Sonic VS Darkness. Incredible, fun, and influential game made by a real good friend!!

      Sonic's like an abusive boyfriend. No matter how much he irritates you, tells you he'll change when he always goes back to how he was, and constantly tells you it'll be okay even though it probably won't be, you'll always come crawling back hoping he's changed.
      But in all seriousness, it warms my heart to see over and over again that despite the scrutiny this community gets from people, people continue to do and support what they love. Makes me happy to be a Sonic Fan.

      Its dumber than that, assuming its the one I'm thinking of. He didn't want people to cheat in his game, so it contains spyware that constantly monitors your computer. If it sees CheatEngine has been launched *at all* even if it was never used in relation to the game itself, it makes it so any attempt to launch the game instead takes you to a bizarre sonix.exe tier creepypasta screen where you get killed by ghosts. And the only way to put the game back into a playable state is to directly contact the creator and beg him to check the box on his computer (because the spyware means he has direct control of the executable on YOUR system) that lets you play again. And you basically had to prostrate yourself before him and apologize as if you'd kidnapped his son. And then if that flag ever gets tripped again he wouldn't ever accept another apology.

      @@lethauntic What I assume his point is, and I agree with it, is that, due to the fanbase's reputation for being total weirdos and the reputation of Sonic's games in general, a lot of youtubers just seek out fangames that are weird and/or bad, because that's what they believe will pull in the views. Unfortunately, that does a massive disservice to the massive amount of fan efforts that are actually good. It's not really fair for these creators to put in so much time, work, and passion into these games only for them to be left in the shadows of the likes of "Sonic.exe fangame #3476." So AntDude focusing on the good ones is not only a breath of fresh air, it's giving these games and creators the spotlight they deserve, one they don't get as often as they should.

    Man, I honestly think it’s a disservice how the rest of the Internet treats the Sonic fanbase. I generally don’t like calling fan bases toxic because I feel like just about every fan base has toxic people and calling a fan base toxic ignores all the cool people and this especially applies to Sonic. Sure this fan base as it’s toxicity but this fan base has some of the most passionate and talented people I’ve ever seen and it spawns so many amazing pieces of fan content. I’m also just really happy that Sega encourages fan games. I’m a Nintendo fan boy so it’s nice for a change to see fan projects not immediately be murdered the second they are revealed to the world. Great on Sega for actively encouraging its fan base the way it does

    I was a pre-teen Sonic fan and spent so much time on fan games like these. I was a part of a now defunct fan comic and their subsequent forum community and this threw me RIGHT back to those times almost 14 years later.

      Considering it seems to be a Powerup, since it even gives Sonic Spark's Electric Shot Ability, I actually think it's the other way around and he retroactively added that AFTER Spark was a thing.
      I do remember that both BtS and AtS eventually got remade into the Versions that Ant played for this Video (as evidenced by him mentioning the Music, originally both games just reused Tracks from other Games), and I'm pretty sure the Development of Spark was already well underway at that point.

      @@agitpolat1061 Spark was a kickstarter game. While he may have had the idea kicking around in his head, AtS and Chrono Adventure were both released well before he even started the kickstarter, which would make it very unlikely he had any significant headway in developing Spark by that point. The dev is obviously a fan of both Sonic and Kirby, which Spark is a mesh of. It's possible that one power up in AtS was him experimenting with the idea of giving Sonic-like gameplay Kirby-like powers, but I highly doubt he had Spark solidified as a concept at that point, especially since that power-up just gives Sonic the beam hat and projectile from Kirby Super Star.
