Sorry if this is the wrong spot, it seems this subforum is more for homebrew, CFW, and emulator questions, but I couldn't find a better subforum. If there is a better place to post this, I will delete it.

HedgePhysics is a 3D Sonic engine made in Unity, with support for lots of thing like enemies, spindashing, the homing attack, rolling, etc. It is a really great, accurate engine overall. Because Unity officially supports the New 3DS, I spent a few days porting the engine to New 3DS. Then, I imported all 5 of the Sonic R stages that you can access through a mediocre level select screen. Overall, it's really fun to play around in these levels, and they look pretty decent in 3D!

Controls:
Circle Pad/D-Pad - Move
A - Spindash
R - Roll
B- Jump/Airdash
Start - Return to level select

In the future I will probably use this engine to make a short, fun 3D Sonic game for 3DS, so stay tuned!

Because this uses the official SDK with Unity for New 3DS, I cannot share the download link here, but if you look around, I'm sure you will find it! ;)

As long as it doesn't have the sdk in it. You can post it. You can use anything you want to contribute homebrew here, so long as the end result isn't copyrighted. The issue here is the assets.

This is looking great!
The maps look polished and good looking, great work so far!
My only suggestion would be to make the character models bigger, Sonic looks too small compared to the map itself, but that's about it so far :)

Good luck with the project!

If it's made using Unity, the built cia does contains code from Unity, which is copyrighted, so beside the official ways, you aren't allowed to share it(I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice)

It still doesn't have any of the original sdk. If this is the logic we're using then we need to remove all 3ds themes, as they all were built on an original nintendo template.

the difference is that a template is something much less complex than a game engine(see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_of_originality)
Both the user code and Unity have an originality above the threshold of originality and therefore both are original works. This means both are protected by copyright law. So while @Alerdyy distributes his work freely, Unity doesn't do this, but both are included in the cia binary.
The template are just sounds, images and text, which probably falls below the threshold of originality, arranged in a specific data layout(which can be protected by patent law in some coutries. I personally think software patents are stupid). When someone modifies it and includes images, sounds and text to a degree that it's originality is above the threshold, it will be protected by copyright.

I'm not talking about copyright law, I'm talking about the rules of gbatemp. Can you tell me what unity code is included in this cia that would make it copyrighted? The product of a development tool isn't the same as the tool itself.

I made this scrappy diagram in Paint:

as you can see, the compiled game does contain code which may not be freely distributed, if it's made using Unity

    Can't be that far off from it not like ds requires super hardware
  • HiradeGirl @ HiradeGirl:
