This is a fangame for Sonic that I'm making on GameMaker. The plot at the start is Robotnik has taken over the world and taken Sonic prisoner, he is rescued by Knuckles and taken to a secret underground resistance. There will be a number of new charactors as well as some old ones. The new guys are:
Hiran Cloud: Bat Male
Sarah May: Dog Female
Unnamed Rabbit (Cream's brother, in the current script I've used 'Alex' to refer to him but someone else used that name in my only descent RP)
Abyss: Top secret because of plot twist.
The plot will be darker than any current Sonic game. I'm not doing Shadow's parts until I know the endings for his game.
Can anyone get me any sound? It's hard to find suitable effects.
Cool!Hey, how abut an amagram of sonic and shadow called "shade"?
Great idea, could be like a clone of both of them, combined...
Sounds great!
What is this GameMaker that you speak of?
Here. I've played around with it before, it's a tough cookie to crack.
I love how people announce a fangame and say how amazingly great it is, stating the characters and alluding to the story, yet never, EVER make any comments regarding the potential gameplay, features or other such relevant boasts.
Afterall, this thing is going to be better than RoboBlast 2, I wanna know a bit about it! 
And better than Retro Sonic, apparently (which, BTW, apparently releases THIS MONTH, no delays; it won't have all the levels (those will be updated as they're done), but it'll have the ability to make NEW levels on the fly, so nothing major).
How you can get better than Retro Sonic I wouldn't know.
You can get Game maker at www.gamemaker.nl
I hope it'll be the best Sonic fangame, almost definetly the biggest.
Here are some boasts though
Over 20 attacks for every character, new and old.
Nearly every character is playable.
Vs. battle and Sandbox modes.
More than 30 levels a storyline.
Free roaming story or entirely level based your choice.
Hundreds of music tracks.
Hopefully I'll post a screen shot soon. I'm not boasting about the story, your choice if it's good.
It is dark though.
("He killed them all, even the kids!").
And tell me, where can I download 'Retro Sonic'?
Well, the release is apparently going to be on SWS2B, though SFGHQ is also likely... Until then, here's the demo.
Heh, I only just noticed the part about a character that was Cream's brother, and how you wanted to call him Alex... I have the exact same character! Hmm.
I beg to differ.

Everyone should know my statements on this issue.
Why do people claim to make the best fangame ever, yet we never see the light of day? False Promises? Done. False Hope? Done. I just am very negative on these subjects - my suggestions on anything is to ask for help when you have a Beta Demo. That is the best thing to do or you get people like me who are negative on this issue. Why am I so negative? Well, this fangaming craze I was part of it a while back. And did say my own game would be comming out, no greatness however. And just like most games, as a developer I didn't finish it - but did help a few of my friend with backrounds on his own game. Like I said don't claim before you invent.
Bah.
I apoligize if you take offense to this.

Ah, but I'm not claiming it to be the best, but the biggest!
And you are right I shouldn't claim before I finish. But I didn't impulsivley do this. I searched for months to find a suitable game maker, now I have one.
@Pach I think it was your Alex that stopped me using the name. I won't steal anyone else's characters. Unless they give me permission. I couldn't remove him entirely because he's very important to the story.
Why the HELL is it so big? Sonic Adventure Online looks bigger than this, how can you claim this is soooooo big? Oh wait, you call it the biggest. UNtill you've given at least a screen of the levels and characters, soory bub, you're wrong.

Gamemaker? Took you THAT long to search for? If this is the biggest ever... WHy the hell is it in 2-D? And why are you using a free maker? NO gameplay clues or anything of any particular intrest is what you haven't given us. GIVE IT TO US or we'll have a friggin' hard time beleiving you... *faints*
Edit: Sorry if that was a little harsh nn;;;

Shut up. 2D can be huge. Play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. You'll know what I mean.

Good point... I'll go with you on THAT one then...
Its so big because I did the plot first, it's impossible to do without it being huge, and Gamemaker isn't entirely freeware,the more advanced features you need to pay for (10) and with the reg version there is nothing you can't do. I'm doing a demo of one of Knuxes levels now, BETA graphics, for now. Itss hard for me at the moment because I'm not the best gamemaker coder.
I'm still learning.
It took me so long to find gamemaker because I was browsing shops, not the net for it for ages.
There will be 3D sections, just the bonus stages and some mini games.
One thing, instead of 'Find the chaos emeralds' the bonus area are 'Destroy the chaos emeralds' for plot reasons.
