So Sega is officially supporting ROM hacks on Steam Workshop.
This is good news actually
Take this to /vr/ if you want discussion, not this shithole.

/vr/ was even worse the last time I checked, which is quite a feat

Shit pic. I don't even care that it's old.
I'll stick to playing this on my everdrive

what?

That's pretty neat. Do they offer official tools or expect you to get them online?
That's incredible news even if it's still more logical to get it for free. This helps popularize the hacking scene by making it more convenient for other people so we all get more of it.
This could help other companies take notice of it and do it as well.

>following sega's business practices
Why is this good news?
SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDON'T
SEGA WINS AGAIN
Meanwile nintendo cracks down and removes speedrunning and rom hack videos from youtube.
Sega does what Nintendon't

That would be fucking genius on Sega's end actually to offer their own hacking tools. All they have to do is offer tools that are easier to create content in than what the community has made to give people a reason to buy them.
It would be like having a Photoshop instead of having a Paint.net for hacking.

I just realized this could very well be sega's answer to mario maker. If they do it right they've got a hell of a thing set up for them

>creating hacking tools for 3 games out of 20.
I'm not even surprised. The Genesis is one of those consoles where people don't even bother making patches for their romhacks, because Sega doesn't give a shit.

They can add support for multiple games over time. Really though I doubt they give enough of a fuck to go through all the trouble to make their own tools.
Easiest way they could do it is by hiring people off from the community to work alongside their own guys but I doubt they trust them with it.

wasn't the sonic CD port from a few years ago made by a well known romhacker
>inb4 they put shit like Flappy Bird clones and Meme Run
>>335080653
huh
so, do you just grab the Sonic 2 split disassembly and a copy of SonED 2 and get cracking or what

this is more fun that it has any right to be with a buddy
