This is why I turned the MIDI soundtrack into .ogg files. This is the only way I could find to improve the sound quality.

However, I could include the .mid soundtrack from the first version of Sonic Jump as well, but GdGohan refused ^^'

By the way, I won't update the Sonic Jump Anniversary demo before a few weeks later, as I'm busy updating Sonic Advance and doing other things. I guess GdGohan is also busy working on other projects at the moment ^^'

Yep. Space Harrier has an official Android port indeed. Which is why these mods are based on !

While this Android port looks and sound similar to the J2ME versions, I don't think it's the exact same version.

I modified the original soundtrack, due to some music tracks not having good audio quality. It was a little too loud, and I didn't like how it sounded. So the solution was to turn the .mid tracks into .ogg

However, it is true that I could keep the soundtrack as .mid and use a soundfont, but I don't think this will change anything.

Whereas the stage select menu, it's not there, because Sonic Jump Anniversary is currently a demo. The full game version will come out later.

In any case, thank you for the comments. I will take all into consideration when the weekend is done !

Okay. Thank you for the advice !

I will update the Chinese translation after this weekend, because I'm busy for now.

And about the diagonal jump, I will talk to GdGohan about it, as he's currently taking care of the game development more than I do ^^'

In fact, when I asked him for help, he worked on so many ideas. He decided to add the new game intro ^^'

By the way, I found out that there is also a Korean version of Sonic Jump.

I wonder if you would help me finding this version ?

Well... I believe the EXE Russian mod feature different text than usual to fit the context of the EXE theme. So I don't think its translation is authentic enough to be taken into consideration.

Whereas for Metal Slug, I'll take a look at it in the future, but you can send me the APK file if you want.

This is interesting !

You know, come to think of it, your knowledge is quite interesting that it would be cool if  famous content creators can take a look at all of this in order for your knowledge to be more known to the gaming community.

However, I can't do it on my own, as I don't have contact to the most famous content creators out there ^^'

But in any case, thank you for the content. I will make a Chinese version of Sonic Jump on Android in the future :3

UPDATE:
I found a Chinese web page talking about the Android port of Sonic Jump, but there are some peculiar information, such as the game including playable characters with different abilities and also including 36 levels.
https://android.game2.tw/android/3056

Oh ! Well then... Both of them ^^'

I'm curious to see how an i-Mode game functions ^^'

Well... This is quite a lot of information ^^'

About the "empty screen", this is because the game is designed to run on devices with 16:9 aspect-ratio or lower. If I'll make updates for the Sonic Jump mods, I'll take this into consideration.

Also, if you have the Chinese version of the Java port, I'd like to have a copy of it. Would you like to provide me please ?

Alright then. I'll do more research about the Chinese version of Sonic Jump.

In the meantime, I managed to play the Pleasant Goat game, and I have to say that this is not only an official game, but also better than Sonic Jump ^^'

In fact, I believe that this Pleasant Goat game feels like the true successor to Sonic Jump and what Sonic Jump 2 could have been ^^'

Also, this game actually works on my phone using Android 8. Meaning that there is a possible way to make this version of Sonic Jump running on modern hardware. But I have to figure out how to fix it.

By the way, I have a question : Do you think it's a good idea to make mods of that Pleasant Goat game ?

Oh ! This is interesting !

Looks like this game is using the same assets as Sonic Jump.

Come to think of it, this reminds me of Contra 4 Redux, which there is a bootleg version named Classic Rambo ^^'

Anyways, I'll take a look about this goat game soon.

Well... this is something that I'll take care of.

After modding another game, I guess I found the problem, but I'll take care about it soon.

Hello there !

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your comment ^^'

Well, thank you for the info. I'll try to search for it at one point.

By the way, do you know why the game isn't working when playing on Android 8+ ?

UPDATE:
I actually tried to search the Chinese version of the game. I did found a few sites where you can find the game, but there is no download link to the game. Instead, there is only a link to the store app.

Hello !

I don't know if you are still looking for a 3D artist, so I sent you a contact on Discord.

I'm not a 3D artist, but I have a friend who is looking for projects.

Ah no. These are the default fonts from the Chinese version of the game. I made extra symbols to represent the new options by matching the pixel fonts style.

Aaaah ! If you're talking about the pixel fonts, then I can do it on my own ^^'

The Chinese pixel fonts are quite easy to make, as the characters don't have shades like the Japanese one. However, I just need the whole text to be translated in Traditional Chinese.

You know what, if you want to get access to the whole translated text of the game, extract the APK file and select a "lang" folder in the "assets" folder. lang8 is the Chinese language folder. You can find the Chinese pixel fonts there.

Well... Nevermind. It's not really necessary to add Traditional Chinese then.

In any case, thank you for the correction !

Sonic Advance International (and also MOST Mods) is based on the Chinese game version that I found on this website : https://archive.org/details/1.0.0_202310

The game version is indeed the cracked version that you're talking about. However, I managed to remove the pop-ups and made this mod the full-game version by default. I may not be an expert at programming, but I do have some experience.

As for what you can help for my game mod, I'm mostly looking for programmers who has experience with Java/Smali programming for further modding. However, you can help me for making a Traditional Chinese version if you want.

Alright then ! I'm glad that I didn't make any mistakes for once !

By the way, the actual word is works. Jobs mean working with a salary.

Also, I have a question : Do you have any experience with Android app modding ?

Actually, I implemented the language settings differently. And I don't think I'll be capable of taking care of the languages string selection.

I think the auto-language detection works fine.

By the way, do you think I've written "Special Level Gyroscope" properly ?

UPDATE: I start to understand what you're talking about. If that's the case, that means I don't need to make a specialized Chinese version.

Here you go ! Is this good to you ?

Also, what do you mean exactly about the app_name ? I already made differences between the International and Chinese version, such as giving the title "Sonic Advance" and "索尼克进化" respectively.

What do you have in mind about resources.arsc exactly ?

I know. But the problem is that I'm not used to alphabets other than latin ones.

Also, if I try to translate the game to Russian, it's guaranteed that I might make some grammar errors. Keep in mind that the tips during the loading screen are unique to this Android port, and I can't find any instruction manuals written in Russian.

So I need someone who knows Russian better to add this language in the game.

Actually, is there a way to contact each other privately ?

I have Telegram and Discord, but I don't know if you have access to such apps.

Also, is this good to you ?

Are you talking about Android TV ?

If so, I have no idea how to make it run, as I don't have access to it. Looks like someone else who can use Android TV have to contact me about it.

Oh Hello ! Quite a surprise there ! ^^'

Well... Looks like I have to make a quick patch. Thank you for informing me about it.

I know that I haven't translated accurately in the Chinese version. For instance, about the "motion sensing operation", I wrote "Special sensory experience", but I actually wanted to write "Special Gyroscope".

As for the Chinese language... DAMMIT GOOGLE TRANSLATE!

Oh well... I'm glad that I credited you. You are really helping me for this project. And thank you for this ^^

Hello !

Sorry for the late reply. I currently don't have Internet at my home. So I'm at my mom's home instead ^^'

Anyways, thank you for the information. I'll take a look when I have the time !

The format uses for the mods are .apk. There aren't used for word document.

The .apk fomats are used for Android devices or for Android emulators (such as BlueStacks, for example).

Hello !

I have no idea if this game could work on Android TV.

Whereas the controller, I don't know how the settings work, but maybe by mapping the control input to the button locations, this could probably work.

¡Hola!

Esto es realmente un problema. ¿Qué versión de Android estás ejecutando?

Además, me pregunto si puedes desactivar Google Play Protect para instalar el juego.

Hello !

Thank you for taking a look. I just sent you an invitation on Discord !

Hello !

Thank you for being interested in helping as a voice actor. If you can help about improving the graphics, this is quite interesting to me !

I'm available either on Telegram or Discord under the name Furrican. I will contact you when I have time !

Hello !

Thank you for taking a look. I will contact you on Discord when I have time ! ^^

Hello there. I think I need to explain to better understand the context.

First of all, the Android port of Sonic Advance is an old official software by SEGA released in 2011/2013. And the games on this page are presented as game mods. Not fan remasters.

Secondly, the frame rate is indeed terrible (running at 15 FPS). I wish I could fix this issue, but I'm not an expert at Java/Smali programming. I can only modify what I can understand in the game's code.

Wait... It demands access to "contacts" ? This is strange. I have to test it out.

Invitation sent ! ^^

Hello !

I'm currently looking for people who can make 2D games. I have a game that I wish I could turn it into reality, but I need competent programmers to do so. Since you are used to Game Maker, this is quite a good fit for me.

We can chat either on Telegram or Discord to better explain my game project. What do you think ?
