SONIC UNLEASHED REDUX - APOTOS PREVIEW
updated
NEITHER CAN I!
This mod is a response to 8ballpooltre's request on Gamebanana for an Unleashed model port. Little did they know how far I'd go for this port 👀
Debuted in Modern SA2: The Trial, the Hedgehog Engine-like graphical appearance of the character models added a TON of depth to these models which were never considered possible or to be done. For the first time, these new innovations are no longer just in Modern SA2. This is the first model mod to fully utilise the new shading techniques outside of MSA2!
Both Sonic and Super Sonic have FOUR variants, which you can change in the mod's configuration.
My SA2 Tweaks mod, releasing soon, enhances this mod by allowing for footstep sounds you can hear subtly in the video and for the spindash-to-run transition to function correctly, as SA2 Tweaks offers the code to make this possible.
🥂Shoutout to @SkullsNightshade for being a channel member and an elite Rouge fan!

Since we're no longer working on Modern SA2, I figured I'd port over the Heroes run animation to SA2 Tweaks I made for the cancelled MSA2 3.1 Trial update.
This is a mod that pretties up the existing Battle models by adding 3D depth to the models, Dreamcast facelifts, cooler animations and fixing model oddities like a lot of models not being mirrored correctly, topology issues, clipping issues, UV errors, etc.
Here's what the video shows:
✅Squash & stretch
✅Rubber shoes
✅Heroes-like run animation
✅Added my light Asian spice to SA2 animations
✅Better spindash-to-run transition
✅Dreamcast SA2 look for the Battle model
✅Footstep SFX (toggleable)
🎵Hate It Or Love It (50 Cent)

Didn't like how the vanilla models look? Well, I've spread my aura to all our furry friends and now they look INSANE. DAMN.
This is one of my final mods. Modern SA2 won't be touched. Too much work for something you don't actually need for SA2.

Anyways, this was a quickie. I apologise for the lack of videos. Development has been BUSY.
After I pump out a few final updates within 2-3 months. I will no longer be modding. It's time to focus on being a content creator and what matters the most; life itself. Getting my muscles back. Making money. Having a stronger presence in the family. Yeah. Knightfall is here.

The police have randomised chatter during the chase, which makes the chase section fresh and oddly interesting to keep your ear peeled to! I added more cop chatter from Most Wanted as these lines are just... man they're something else 😩
You'll also see some new changes made to the footstep sounds (yee they're no longer loud thank god), a more accurate Faithful SA2 Sonic model which looks GORGEOUS and physics that are no longer OP!

Nico and I have recreated Marza's CGI models for Sonic Generations! This took a VERY long time, but we got there. In this video, you'll also catch a glimpse of Sonic Generations: Redux in action! Figured since the SU and Gens are washed out due to the different gamma levels, I'd show it off with Redux, as this is how the models actually look.
Classic Sonic? Check.
Modern Sonic? Check.
Super Sonics? Check.
Comfortable Gens Physics? Check.

In the upcoming future, you'll be able to sit back and unwind from the world's chaos. This channel will (hopefully) become a safe space and a hub for developer/modding knowledge, as well as the occasional life advice and talks here and there.
The high energy content is STRICTLY for streams and interviews and/or videos featuring my friends! Besides that, the majority of my content is gonna be very chill, slow-paced and me being the caring older brother you may or may not have experienced in your life.
Here's to hoping this new direction can make a positive impact on the Sonic community.

🚨Before you comment suggestions… please consider how long it will take to do and the weight of what you are asking, as the majority of the suggestions I have seen over the years demand us to give up our time (for FREE) and miss out on life. I urge this community to know better and stop asking for every little thing under the sun. Learn to appreciate what modders and creators do in their spare time. We ain't a charity bro.

Unleashed Redux for Sonic Generations hasn't seen an update in 3 years. It's been a long awaited update. People eventually gave up on the project, as did the developer, me. 2023 arrives and development picks back up, thanks to the efforts of @StarlightDX and @TheKoldK1. Insane technical work + development on The Complete Addon made it easy to develop for Redux, as things I couldn't do were done. 4th July 2024 sees the rebirth of Redux, with a banger update that works without the Addon and is even better with it enabled. Redux Sonic v6 also got a release too, bringing support for the Generations skeleton & a few more goodies.

I think I may have figured out how to mix everything together. Taking notes from how Criterion Games mixed audio in the Burnout games, here's how I've done this.
PEAK AMPLITUDE:
Music = -8db
Main character/player sounds = -6
Bass, impacts, whooshes & "noisy" sounds = -3
Voices = -6 or below if needed
SA2 for whatever reason makes everything super loud and easy to peak. I've combated this with the new mixing and it seems to work wonders. Pretty happy with the results. Let me know what you think!
This is more of a "for giggles" video I decided to make. With a potential Burnout game on the rise, I figured I'd introduce my audience (you lot) to this one-of-a-kind racing game. The magic OG Criterion Games produced back then remains unparalled till this day! They're also the inspiration behind my endavuours into sound design and perfecting the camera work for the Redux projects, including Redux Sonic and MSA2!
This just goes to show that with enough love and people having fun developing games, it always pays off. Now that the industry only produces games to make the most money, we don't see this spark in the scene no more which is a huge factor as to why video games have become so bland since the PS4 era begun. I long for the days we'll see games produced like this one day...
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 - 00:46 Intro
00:46 - 02:15 Burnout 3 Intro
02:15 - 14:23 Burnout 3 Gamplay
14:23 - 18:44 Burnout Revenge Intro
18:44 - 32:32 Burnout Revenge Crashbreaker Grand Prix Gameplay
It's been a while, hasn't it? To sum up the start of this video, I've been away perfecting my craft yet again. This video will reveal an upcoming update for not one, but TWO projects and marks the first of my videos having a new editing style!
In the gameplay part of this video, you will see a ton of new animations, new FOV slider (faster you go, FOV increases), new camera height (no more floor camera like SA1/2!), sound design, object layouts, minor texture changes, new voicelines for Sonic and a more consistent UI (new Item Box & Chaos Drive UI).
You'll also notice slope physics have been restored! SA1/2 has a set intensity value for this. SA2 suffers from on/off slope physics, so I increased the slope intensity, but not to the max so you don't go too fast. Characters feel more natural to play with in the new build, which you'll see in July.

Huge thank you to all who've helped us out on these two projects. We wouldn't be here without you!
With this introduction, these two rodents have a special message to share with our audience!
------------------------------------------------------------
I said a while back that we'd be releasing an update in late August. Unfortunately, we won't be able to meet that date. Instead, we both decided to delay this for Sonic Hacking Contest 2023. This will give us time to polish what we have and finish a new stage we have in the works!
Thank you for your absurd patience with us 😂 You guys are awesome!
This is a quick video to show how the new version of MSA2: The Trial will be like! If you've played last year's build, you'll notice a lot of changes regarding animations, physics and sound design.
now give me views
This is a quick screentest to see the limitations of cutscene editing for Modern Sonic Advenuture 2. Seems we might be able to reanimate every cutscene! Looking forward to how this will turn out!

This video showcases my current progress of my sound overhaul mod for Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005). I've changed cop sirens, tire rolling, tire skidding, burnouts, exotic turbo, BMW M3 GTR and rain sounds. It sounds real nice and I can't wait to have this project completed!
Now about these sweet, sweet graphics…
I'm using the Plak graphics (Designer Edition) made by the geniuses @osdever and @elaymm4 This is one hell of a mod and definitely worth your dough! Plak Graphics site: https://plak.mp/

Anything else you see that isn't in vanilla's or doesn't behave like vanilla are my own edits I made years ago and started editing again recently lol.

This is a quick test to show my progress on bringing the raw, eargasmic transmission sound from the BMW M3 GTR in Nürburgring (2004). The engine sound is from the Realistic Car Sounds mod by AillionAier (https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3689) with values from a previous project I made that makes this car's engine sound more like the one heard in the trailer for the game (requested by @damongambuti). The high speed tranny whine is what needs working on, but other than that, I'm happy with how this sounds!

The car engines have also been updated too. The Hurican, BMW M3 GTR (from UNITE Heat 3.4.1) and the RX8 are in!
Oh yeah I also have new stage map music. It's this remix here:youtube.com/watch?v=kfJaoQzGT_0
No more Burnout Paradise loool
Lotta camera shake and intensity in the title screen animations. As of now, I only have 2 shots of the car blasting through poorly rehashed City Escape buildings that are hidden by the blur lol. BR's title screen has 4-5 shots of the car before looping or changing the video file to one with another car. I'm also missing traffic and police cars which I might add in way later on. This is also a test of post editing.
Unlike BR's title screen, mine has added sound effects, such as wind (from NFS: Most Wanted & Burnout Revenge) and the M3 GTR at it's highest speed (sound recorded in Need for Speed: Heat). A cool detail about the sound is that it does make use of both L and R channels, meaning the engine sound does pan based on the camera's position. The sound work shouldn't be a surprise to you lot since you know what I'm like with that stuff 😂
The main video for the car has 3 versions of it playing so I could increase bloom, add additional blur and tweak the colouring. I did want to animate it all and have it take you to the main menu, but I gotta rest cuz I'm ill so this'll do for now.
For a big test, I'm actually pretty happy with this. Hope you lot think this is cool. It's completely different to all my videos, but we gotta expand on the horizon at some point my g

Lmao you THOUGHT!? Man's too open with Redux progress, but MSA2? Hoppy and I are keeping that a secret. We have LOTS to show but you ain't seeing none of it until SHC 2022. In the meantime, have fun looking at the beta Green Forest layout in White Jungle. Technically, I haven't actually baited you all as I merged the GF LandTable (stage geometry) into White Jungle 😉
Might make more videos with my voice in because it's getting a little dry with silent videos y'know? Lemme know down below if you want more videos with commentary in!
#GiveMeThatWatchTimeBruv
As you can tell, I worked hard on this shitpost LOOOOL
Ported the Most Wanted BMW M3 GTR, made ambient occlusion for the main diffuse texture, edited the UVs (SA2 messes them up due to using a different method of UV projection so it will look off), remade the engine sound, got tire screeching in and the NOS sound! It works beautifully with the restored pitch sliders thanks to Shaddatic! I also added a few sounds from Burnout Revenge (X360) as the SFX are real nice in that game. Engine sound is from Carbon, with more bass on the sputters and added Most Wanted's shift up sound for this car as it sounds cooler than Carbon's flat "bu-bum" shift up sound for this car.
This is an easter egg I wanted in MSA2 a LONG time ago, but had no idea how to do it since model editing wasn't a thing back then. I got time to come back to this idea. Might even do some cool stuff with the karts in the final version of the mod. I wasn't gonna show this off, but hey it makes for a great shitpost so why the heck not upload this innit? GIVE ME THAT CLOUT G 😂
haha the length of this video is 5:10. NFS: Most Wanted 5-1-0? This is a freaky coincidence!

WVO v2 features:
- New grass effect (uses the "shell" technique SU/Gens uses). Has a nice, soft look to it.
- New vertex paint (baked lighting into the models' vertices)
- New time of day
- New textures
- An easter egg hunt for a special someone
- Hard mode! It's not hard, the water just kills you lol. Gotta make do with the limited time we had. Hard mode also features an instrumental of Zebrahead's His World, which you can find here: youtube.com/watch?v=bKOnVreL_J8
- Collision fixes & optimisations (NOTE: some cols will be busted cuz this is an old ass game)
- Fixed object layouts
- New shadow areas
- New Addon DLL (required as we lost the source code. Addon provides fixes, new grass shadow light and hard mode for this stage)
You can use the character pack if you want. It's not a requirement, but I'd say give it a try. The physics might break in regular SA2 stages as I made the physics for our 06 stages, so please don't complain about that; you have been warned.
Please use the mods shown at the start of the video for the complete look. Higher draw distance NEEDS to be enabled or else you're gonna have really low render distances which does not help this stage at all. Like SA2 itself, this will lag on low-end systems.
Hope you lot enjoy this mod!

As a quick doss about, Sticks wanted to port in my new GI from Sonic Unleashed Project: Redux v2's update into Unleashed. This resulted in a big surprise: the fact that Xenia can actually handle large GI and runs pretty well! The main issue at hand was figuring out how to get reflections to work in Unleashed. What I have here is the closest to getting them in with little-to-no issues. But yeah I'm pretty proud of this. Really sets us up for a good Redux treatment for the game. I'm actually looking forward to finishing the project for Xenia 😄
