Sonic: Lock & Load is a hyper-fast stylish action first-person shooter based on the Sonic the Hedgehog series of games and built on GZDoom.

It's heavily inspired by the high-speed platforming of Sonic Robo Blast 2, the heavily movement-based FPS gameplay of ULTRAKILL and the stylish action of Devil May Cry.

Surge Through the Horizons.

TITLEPIC 1

Sonic: Lock & Load v1.4 “Horizons” is a major update, bringing new levels, new techniques, refinements to the changes made in v1.3.3 and major changes to the gameplay and Sonic: Lock & Load’s fundamentals.

Horizons has been through so many changes that I’ve lost track of it all. Makes the jump from Dark (v0.9) to Chaos (v1.0) look like a joke and a half.

Additionally, I had some troubles with SFGHQ and SAGE 2022, resulting in me making a "Final Final Demo". You can read about the development history and struggles here.

I hope everyone enjoys Sonic: Lock & Load! I really enjoyed making it, and now I think it's time for a loooong break.

Have some screenshots.

Sonic: Lock & Load is probably not coming to the Sonic Amateur Games Expo 2023, because I'm a lazy idiot who can't finish a level.

Oh wait I take that back, this mod does not work with Grezzodue 2 for whatever reason, but after a few tries, this mod runs fine on Brutal Doom

Really? That's kinda weird, it *shouldn't* work with Brutal Doom, because that's a gameplay mod

But another positive for that is you can either flip the bird towards/shoot down a skewered Sonic.exe

I don't know, but running it with Grezzodue 2 over it makes it more fun

The only thing I can criticize this creation is the lack of character sprites, I could appreciate it, but I'm not a fan of Ultrakill ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah I'd make character sprites if I were any good at pixel art XD

And that's alright, character action games aren't for everyone

Interesting mod. Also, kinda like a rival for the super mario mod for gzdoom.
Do you plan adding knuckles and tails?

Although I feel that using the Doom engine can take its toll and cause some problems, the Mod is very well made and I love it.

Oh, yeah, absolutely, I love GZDoom but it has some really annoying limitations
