Presentation
DashEngine is an Unreal Engine 4 Sonic Framework/Devkit which provides all the tools, gimmicks, and gameplay needed to start building awesome (or not...) 3D Sonic fangames. It is shipped with an Adventure Sonic gameplay style and a Modern Sonic gameplay style. And with some tweaks you can even create a Classic Sonic gameplay style in a 2.5D world !
Everything can be customized in DashEngine... From the model of your character to the amount of momentum sonic will earn.
