Looks and sounds great. I had a little trouble with Sonic's momentum building up too slow, not sure if that is a frame rate glitch or what. Also the level design was a bit confusing. Here is my Gamedev Feedback for the first level:

Keep up the great work!

umm why is the game so slow on your system? I tested it on my system today 06/01/2020 and it plays good. I am just using some HP laptop I bought from the pawn shop for $200 and it has intel graphics.

I do not think its the performance of my machine as I can run most 3d games on it, its an 8 core 4ghz machine. I suspect it has to do with refresh rate?


(Thanks for subbing to my channel!)

Hello there, thanks for playing!

I'm sorry but I have no idea what could cause such a heavy slowdown with the game on your system. I am aware that Sonic World Delta can be event heavy, but I never experienced slowdowns in the first few levels like shown in the video.

Not sure what the glitch is either but if they physics calculations are tied to the frame rate then a different monitor refresh rate could cut the speed of the game down greatly. I'm not sure how things are set up in the code, but each frame should be calculating the changes in speed based on the time that passed from the last frame.

I see. The entire engine is set to run at 60 frames, so I'd have an insane amount of work to adjust every single event in game, in every stage, to work with a delta in time from the previous game loop.


Can you try to make a link to the exe of the game, open the link properties and add the command /MIS1 in the destination field after the double quotes of the game path? The command will tell the game to run in "machine independant speed" mode, and maybe that can solve your problem.

It should look something like this:

"C:\BLAH BLAH BLAH\Sonic3D2d 1.02.exe" /MIS1

That fixed it thanks!

Awesome! Thank you for finding this issue. Despite the issue you faced we managed to find a workaround. Enjoy the game!
