Gotta admit, that tutorial zone was quite original compared to the majority
I really like Relic Ruin as well even if it's a tad on the Sky Sanctuary side. They did a great job remixing it enough for the theme to feel new.
@@sonicovertime also the relic ruin is same as the first zone of the theme of the fan game called sonic and the fallen star
Relic ruin is based of a scrapped Sonic 2/1 Level
@@oliverxgroganprobably sonic cd
It's litterally the Sonic Mania intro zone
This looks extremely promising. I think I'd go so far as to say this should get developed in its own engine like Sonic Onset Adventure.
This game is made in the Sonic Onset Adventure engine/Digital Swirl funnily enough lmao
@@sonicoversped Oh really? Lmfao
@@sonicoverspedIt seems like alot of roblox sonic fangames are created in Digital Swirl, so it doesn’t surprise me.
I think they should probably do that too; One problem with Roblox "experiences" is that if Roblox ever shuts down in the future, all of the well-made games on the platform will go with it. If a game switches to a "standard" game engine like Sonic Onset Adventure, it will be safe, long after Roblox stops existing.
@@XaneMyers Yeah.
Best Sonic Fangame of 2023 in Roblox??? Roblox has been slaying it lately! It feels like playing Sonic Utopia with tighter controls for slower paced Adventure Platforming, it controls incredibly well. Also the music, level art, and graphics overall look incredible. Probably the best Sonic Experience on Roblox so far.
It does remind me of the Sonic Utopia developer footage. I recall the developer wanted more streamline levels similar to the Labyrinth Zone secret in Green Hill, rather than big "open worlds" like in GT.
This plays very well. I hope the developers complete it!
Can I play it on mobile?
So Were is The Link?
@@paulaburns5122it’s gonna release this weekend. Y’all gotta be patient.
I’ve played it three times full already and already this has become easily one of my favorite Sonic fan games. It makes me wonder “Imagine this was the Saturn game we were supposed to get back in 1996”, i Guarantee this would’ve done wonders
I remember this project It use to be a open-world type game and looked a lot more different, leaning more into Sonic Utopias look Great to see the project advance this much and cannot wait to see more work!!
The fact that BOBLOX has been just as if not more lively with fangames than normal fangames this year(amazing stuff did come out normally this year like the silver release and kineckless free riders) is astounding
The tutorial stage being the sonic mania intro is amazing
Truly
Looks very promising actually I love the artstyle and relic ruin looks great and the controls seem really smooth. Only thing I'll say is in a Sonic game the opening levels means a lot and using mania's intro is really cool however making just a linear stretch of road is a missed opportunity rather than having a really unique level interacting with all the background geometry like in mania's intro. It could make for a really interesting set of branching paths maybe making the player wonder if they can maybe reach a far off pattern that's actually a rail leading to a secret path. I understand its a tutorial but so is city escape and gens green hill. Also music stolen from Sonic and the Fallen Star should at least be credited. Don't want to be negative though relic ruin looks fantastic and I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Thank you for the critque! We credited Sonic and the Fallen Star in the credits of the game, we'll eventually have a credits section on the main menu. :)
@@SonicExpedition Good stuff. What you have so far looks fantastic. Looking forward to playing it when it releases.
@@SonicExpedition i don't mind my songs being used, i'm glad you guys liked them enough to use em :D
@@haha_hollie THANK YOU SO MUCH🙏🙏 We'll be sure to give proper credit!
@@haha_hollieWOAAH HI BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK
Is no one else gonna talk about how the GHZ level design is a replica of the 3D bonus version of the original found in SA2??? That's flipping awesome!
Ill say the gameplay definitely grew on me the more I watched. Looks fun to play, especially as I saw more levels. I wont tell them to stop making the game or something but Im 100% spoiled by SRB2. That game in its current state is so good with the level design and physics feel, I confidently say its my favorite game. I always find a reason to go back. Hopefully this Sonic Expedition will do some cool stuff and keep me interested just as much. Good luck!
This game makes you feel like you're playing the Sonic CD and Mania openings. It's super replayable too! This is defenitely going somewhere!
THE MUSIC ON THE FINAL ZONE ALMOST MADE ME CRY BECAUSE HOW GOOD IT IS 😭😭😭
that rainbow level is an example of a good 3d sonic level: a LONG level that has multiple paths to the goal that you can take if you are skilled enough to get there
I have a complete disdain for anything related to Roblox, but ngl, this does look really good.
Why
Trust me there are loads of very talented Devs on Roblox, just because it's related to Roblox doesn't mean it's automatically complete garbage. Judging a game based on the platform its on would be like judging a book based on the library its in.
@@ClassikSprites i mean i wouldn’t wanna be supporting a library that exploits tens of thousands of children for profit but thats just me
@@ClassikSprites I hate Roblox on a fundamental level based on their scummy practices and exploitation. I never denied there are talented people on there
@@MariusUrucuwell if your willing to trying one more sonic game in Roblox try classic sonic simulator v12 you can make your own levels and it’s probably the most polished Roblox game I’ve seen
Friends being the tutorial stage’s background music is such a good way to grab the attention of both Sonic and non-sonic fans
This looks amazing, with enough time, this could be better than sonic UTOPIA, can’t wait for when it’s finished
This is literally the best sonic fan game i've ever seen in my life, how something like this can be made on roblox is shocking to me, man i wish i was a part of the dev team because i'd definitely wanna contribute a lot to this masterpiece, i mean the music, the graphics, the sound, the absolutely beautiful level design, everything that sonic excells at is here, some things bug me like there not being enemies or win screens not being there at all but whatever ik they'll add then eventually , overall perfection 10000000/10
The only thing that I would consider a negative is the slippery controls. Other than that, this is an amazing fangame that deserves all the attention and praise it gets
This looks amazing! When you write Masterpiece in your title, I never click a video faster. I never even touched a Roblox man, I really have to figure out how to play this, and that Classic Sonic Level Editor.
This looks great! Level design and Everything! The Classic Sonic Design they chose even resembles the Japanese 90’s Artwork!
mannn those physics are perfect, i hope sega actually release something adjacent to how this plays it’s looks great
Nice, I gotta love how this fangame is for Classic Sonic!
It should really be clarified that Relic Ruins acts 1 and 2 take music from Sonic and the Fallen Star, a fan game, specifically Sapphire Sights acts 1 and 2.
Cool to see the mania intro as a playable zone
Lol that tutorial zone was trying to flirt with us. Three shuttle loops connected together and that's the angle we can see it at? A better angle can be had, sure, but damn tut level is nice
Bro I remember this game it used to have an old version (the one I remember) but it got taken down I was very sad but now it’s back and I didn’t know until like yesterday im so happy!
This is wonderful!
Oh my gosh, I cannot wait until this comes out. This looks like the most enjoyable roblox sonic game since onset adventure and sonic sandbox.
Wow this is a very cool and awesome 3D Sonic fan game in the world. 💙🦔💙
This looks incredible, heavy sonic mania and sonic utopia vibes
Noice how sonic actually turns when he’s in the air mid jump and not fix looking at one direction. That alone makes the game mechanics 100x better. Take notes sega
This is the first time I've seen anyone make a level from the Japanese genesis box art. Truly amazing.
Truly amazing, what can be done in Roblox!
I NEED TO PLAY THIS, IT ACTUALLY LOOKS SICK
Recently have been playtesting the game, and its amazing. I hope the Devs continue on making this much better :D
Mobile support?
@@SkyBlue-gb3qx Yup! Console, Pc, Mobile.
How do you play?
@@ShArK_IsABoT Only playtesters have access to the game, but the demo will be released this weekend
Ok thanks
I can't wait this weekend for this to come out! ❤ THE TUTORIAL IS THE MANIA INTRO MY DREAM WAS TO PLAY THAAATTT!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 ok no seriously I can't wait I need it out now. 😅
I’ve always wanted the mania intro to be a stage and here we are🥳
I just saw a remake of SA2's Green Hill. It's outstandingly perfect.
Ever since digital swirl came out we have been getting beautiful games
Literally, the best classic sonic experience ever.
This looks genuinely fun to play wtf???
Aside from one or two sound hiccups, this is perfect! If only we could play it outside of Roblox lol
Fun Fact: The Digital Swirl V3 engine was made by the creators of Sonic Onset Adventure, A game that originally started on roblox but was discontinued ON ROBLOX. Its still in development to this day, just not on roblox
*This Game Looks Fantastic!*
we need this game to be had an open world.
This looks really cool
This is awesome!
I like how relic ruin looks just like the concepts for a scrapped sonic cd stage stage 1 a I think that may be the point but I still enjoy it
Never thought I'd be giving credit to Roblox, but damn is this impressive. I'm very impressed.
It would be cool to see the game made full!!
This game looks incredible!!!
This looks epic😳
The first zone was 🔥 to me but the game looks very good! It’s giving me sonic utopia vibes Classic vibes lol
dang the sonic fan games on roblox keeps getting better
I didn't have good first impressions with the level design in Green Hill, but then Relic Ruin blew the whole thing out of the water! I'mma have to try this out later! I do wish there were more enemies in the levels though, as in their current state they feel kinda barren.
I don't think eggman has taken over it yet
GHz is from sa2 btw the level design
@@RameNoodls ohh, that explains it lol
Definitely getting utopia vibes
We ain’t takin’ a Rush, but we will deliver a Rerush.
y'know i'm honestly surprised not many people have tried to make the classic sonic games' boxart Nondescript Shapes into an actual level. lots of fun shapes to run through.
i been on Roblox for 5 years and i notice the quality of fangames on there
How do you finish this so fast but this video is great keep up the work
You had me thinking… i almost thought it was.
A real momentum based game
your evrywher wtf
I can’t believe this is in Roblox Thod or literally fantastic
Looks Brillant
wowzers!! this game is awosme
sonic expedition was MEANT To be an Sonic Utopia Game that changed to classic to morden to classic again now.. And this is the biggest fan game of sonic utopia I see on roblox
my boy you've changed much to the last time i played you...
Remember this. This is not for mobile due to you have alot of lag you have to deal with.
It's back!
Nuh uh 💀 That's fantastic
Relic Ruins is the single reason why Sonic expedition is a masterpiece! I just love Relic Ruins in general, it's like a mix between sky sanctuary, kingdom valley and treetop hills but infinitely more fun😊
nothing will beat sky sanctuary in my opinion, but that's u
@@biggreen276 nothing will beat green hill* because green hill zone is 100% the best zone in my opinion but sure, your opinion great too
Sonic and the fallen star music kinda suits this game ngl.
Tutorial Zone Is Just Sonic Mania Intro But Playable. And That's The Best Part Of The Game In My Opinion.
OH MY GOSH THEY BROUGHT BACK MANIA AND FALLENSTAR ETC... BACK TO LIFETHIS IS GOING TO BE A MASSIVE SUCCSESS I JUST KNOW IT ITS JUST A MASTERPIECE AND THE MOMENTUM IS BAZZARE also by anychance is there gonna be andriod support
Holy “piece of shiitake planet” this is insane
IS BACK
This seems interesting what do you think sonic overtime
Awesome
woah woah woah that triple loop le loop section isn't in the released version! Thst looked infinitely more fun than the kinda irritating long wall. I wonder why they changed it...
What happened to Sonic Utopia? Did the guy went to work on this? Also, the game looks promising, but that camera angle while running on the loops needs fixing. It's fixed onto Sonic, and that's great, but it needs to follow him on the loop, otherwise it will restrict its view when Sonic is running on it, just like Utopia did.
I hope we someday get a stage like the tutorial.
Will the chaos emeralds and super sonic be int the game along with bosses or no?
I hope we get water zone if the creator does make a water zone, and i do think the 1-ups need to be more hidden
im gonna try this
Oh my god the tutorial is the sonic mania opening
I love this game with my heart! I’m glad that you got to play our upcoming game! I’m one of the devs btw
Cool
the soundtrack can be better but the game looks really good
Im not too sure but I think Sonic Expedition used to be a roblox game from what I used to remember, it was open world and it was multiplayer but they removed it or something. But it really freaking fun
Yup! Remake of that game :)
@@SonicExpedition Cool, anyways amazing job btw
Your good😮
How we're the controls? Like was it difficult to go through a loop? Was it difficult to walk on the walls?
6:06 this area feels like 3d hill top in my opinion
this is good
Greenhill is the adventure two layout
I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME NOW
The demo is releasing to the public this weekend I think
Last time I remember this game was a Utopia fangame
I'm not 100% sure if that was the same project or not (did have the same name). Guess it would make sense though as there's definitely Utopia vibes here!
@@sonicovertime Reboot :)
Interesting
I need a 3D sonic mania, well a 3D sonic game made by the sonic mania team
cool
why can't roblox sonic games all try to be this unique instead of using the sound engine/digital swirl engine and smacking the sonic generations model and calling it a day?
so true man
Oooh i gotta try this, hope it atleast runs 40 fps
