How to install Sonic Realm Revival (Tentative name) on xbox one

Greetings everyone:

In case you missed it, I announced this game today: https://gbatemp.net/threads/announc...-new-sonic-fan-game-demo.482381/#post-7543371. The game is in development. but the demo is available today


Prerequisites: Xbox One (With Dev Mode Activated) More info here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/xbox-apps/devkit-activation

Screenshot:


[1.] Download the .appx archive:https://mega.nz/#F!x3BFUJzA!5Nuysvxq5FxEcJCJ7Sgj6w

[2.] Go to your Xbox One console and restart it into developer mode

[3.] Click on settings and enable xbox device portal.

[4.] Once finished go back to Dev Home and make note of your Xbox IP Address along with the port number listed at the bottom right corner it will look something like 192.168.37.8:11224 (Yours may be different) Open up your web browser and type in https:// followed by your IP and port number so for example https://192.168.37.8:11224alternatively you can also enter https://XboxOne:11224 for example. Once you log in you may receive a warning about the security certificate. Go ahead and proceed anyways.

[5]. Click on ADD, select the appx file when prompted, and select both dependencies when prompted.

[6]. Enjoy and leave me any feedback good or bad.

Make sure to install the dependencies in the dependencies folder.

the lifes glitch was caused because the lives from level 1 didn't transfer for level 2. that is why you had zero lifes in level 2 despite not dying
Is there any particular reason why each level has its own individual life counter instead of using a global variable?

the sonic realm engine had it like that, and I guess I barely died so I didn't notice the glitch. but that is how I fixed it, I made it global.

i just beat the demo, the second level definitely needs work and that random fast camera at the end i thought i died i was going so fast i fell off the plane lol

area's on the first level has some layer glitches that should be fixed

the first level is fun tho and works even tho its kinda weird to see chemical plant stuff in green hill zone the theme seems a bit weird but its not that big of a deal it still is fun to play regardless and thats all that matters

try not to make the player do platform to platform jumps all the time or its just gonna be annoying i know sonic had stuff like that but sonic is fast so only do it once in awhile and im not just saying this cuz i suck at sonic games lol but you dont want the game to be a platformer for the sake of having it harder

the whole demo is fun i played it over and over even tho i beat it over and over so keep up the good work on this and i cant wait for progress updates

edit: when running out of lives restarting after gameover give you 0 lives

that is because I didn't push the new build yet that fixes the lifes, and that part at the end where you fall and you get picked up. that is part of the game. although I may remove it if it confuses people

Well maybe that's a different game. Lol
sonic realm is the engine I used to make this game. it is useful because it is compatible with unity and it has some functions defined for sonic. the problem with it is that I do not like its overall design and it is outdated because it originally came out 2012. so expect archaic designs like this until I fix them. I am working along the clock to make it more and more stable as we speak

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

for example, there was a glitch where if you have save turned on. you always start the level from the middle. that is why I temporary turned of saving

well shiz happens lol

thats why beta testers are always helpful just incase someone finds something no one else has experienced yet

i want this to be a good game as much as you do so we might as well squash these bugs

that is all I ask for, part of the reason I announced this game is get the feedback from as many testers as possible

I actually know what is causing this one, this is not a glitch. this is me checking the wrong checkbox

yea i just walked off the edge to the left after plane sequence and it stuck there to idk if its the whole ground tho

edit: another minor one with the big sprite boxes that move you cant jump if you are close to them while there moving

edit 2: theres a texture issue in the begining, up to the left is a thing that launches you but its flickering in the ground

edit 3: there's another one flickering up to the right not far by the enemies that look like bugs

edit 4: the levels not connected in the beginning when going right instead of down theres a gap in the graphics not a big deal but its there and its noticeable
