Hi everyone! It’s been a while since last update, time for a new progress report!
Thanks to programmers: Victor Lopez, Stephen Osborne, and our new addition to the team, Amy Wright, Aquatic Ruin Zone & Special Stage implementations have made significant progress lately.
We have also been able fix a multitude of bugs thanks to your valuable feedback on the demo! See below a tech demo on the Special Stage rendering so far:
On the art side, Corral Summer and Mike Harvey have been focusing on the ARZ foreground tiles and background layering, which is nearing game import of the final assets.
Meanwhile, Vincent and Leo Cirius are hard at work on the production of a full set of epic animations for Super Sonic!
We also have some other surprises in the works that we can’t wait to share, so please stay tuned for the next release!
I cant wait i love your community and your game when is it released
Absolutely great work on the special stages. Unfortunatly the images won’t load!
Hi guys, I love your sonic 2 hd and I think your doing much better than the official sonic team😉
Keep up the good work;I am always notified with updates.
For the recent super sonic post in my opinion I think you should have gone with the 3rd design, (not that I don’t like the final, it’s amazing). That’s all i have to say. Thank you for this fan game, take your time with it and make it the best experience ever 😎
They are looking very pretty.
You can see the effort they are putting to recreate the game with great fidelity to the original and the animations are excellent.
Good luck that they are short, they have all my support.
Je trouve domage que le special stage sois trop pixeliser alors que c’est sensé etre HD, enfin pas le stage en lui meme, mais les 2 personnages sont asser pixelisé
Amazing art!
Would be nice to see these reports _a_ _bit_ _more_ _frequenly_ tho
I hope the underwater portion of Aquatic Ruin is still vibrant like the original, and not all muddy and washed out like the concept image. Remember, Sonic had its own aesthetic going on. It was vibrant and the set pieces were geometric crystalline and from a world unlike our own. In fact, it was during the transition to 3D that Sega threw all that out and went for a more realistic approach. This was in part what neutered Sonic and made the IP less identifiable.
Great Work!!!
Please Make a Save Slots In The Game! Im BEGGING You!
Hi Team! This is looking great can’t wait for the next demo! Hope you can update us more soon 🙂
You guys are doing a great job!! Please keep it up!! If you put this in kickstarted or something like that, I think people will help a lot, but dunno about sega copyrights…
Don’t forget to add Sonic Ultra Instinct
Great game! Hope the updates are easy!
When can we expect a release?
when will it come out at 3.0
Amazing 🙂
can you guys make it to were tails can fly
so…freaking…AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Looking amazing I really enjoy the visuals of the special stage! Concept art is always inspiring for stages so well done and Super Sonic is well super!
I don’t do facebook so I’ll report my bug here and hope you see it. Two separate PC’s, two different graphics cards. I get a black rectangle where there should be a sprite. What info do you need that’s useful to help you bugfix?
I don’t understand why they only made 3 zones please make more

If you guys are lucky, SEGA could officially release the game. (Just a thought)
This looks amazing and I had fun playing the demo. The detail, art design and smooth frame rate come together nicely. Posting a link to this page on Facebook.
Thank you for all your hard work TEAMS2HD
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays & Happy New Year for 2020

This game shows potential to be amazing and also let’s hope sega is not gonna do a nintendo and DMCA takedown this masterpiece
Sega never does DMCA’s, they encourage their fans to do amazing things with their games
Try to collab with sega like Christian whitehead they might help you out just a thought.
I don’t think Sega takes down fangames, only nintendo
I don’t think Sega has ever done anything like that
Side note: is there any way to get controllers to work on this?
Don’t worry, Sega has always been accepting of fan creations, and sometimes even encourages it!
Don’t think so, unlike Nintendo, Sega is fine with fan-made projects.
I don’t think sega would do that, since they enjoy wat the fans do
Dont worry, they wont!, some of the devs of Sonic Mania actually worked on this! 😀
I doubt Sega would take it down, I’m pretty sure some of the sonic 2 HD devs worked on Mania.
nah they wont, trust me. for what its worth, sega might do a capcom and actually pick it up.
Not gonna happen. Sega is SUPER chill with their old games. A fan created “Retro Sonic” for the PC and got contacted by Sega…. No, not a DMCA, Instead they were impressed and hired him to port the engine over to multiple platforms, and then that became the engine for their next official 2D sonic game.
Sega still does what Ninten-don’t
No, SEGA is not Nintendo.
@Robert sega doesnt do that DMCA takedown you are talking about
Sonic mania was also made by people who where fans of the series and were experiened rom hackers like christian whitehead
I don’t think sega does DMCA takedowns unless it’s sharing a ROM.
yeah, since sonic fans are starving for actual games
Sega isn’t gunna take this down, sega has changed over the years
I doubt they will.
Well since SEGA gave fans the ok to make fans games unlike Nintendo who hates their fans and even took down a few fan games
True
Woah! This looks incredible!
God this looks so amazing!! The animations and everything has such a Polish about it, that looks so good and beautiful! The artwork and animations look amazing, it’s 10 times what they did for Sonic Mania!! I can’t wait for this to be finished..
Hopefully you can work on redoing the first game next! Also being hopeful that maybe Sonic Team pics you guys up and makes this into a full supported game.. Either way you guys are doing amazing work, keep on rocking it!
when will they know when there done
Uh, I Have A Complain About The Game:
When I Jump From One Place To Another While Spinning, Sonic Keeps Spinning And Doesn’t Revert Back Into His Running State, I See This Problematic As Some Stuff Won’t Be Do-able Anymore Because Of This, Can You Revert It Back To The Original Way It Worked? Thanks
Sonic 2hd is not done people don’t run out of hope.
When can we have demo 3.0?
When I hadn’t seen any updates on this in so long I feared the worst. I’m glad the project is still going. Keep it up guys, amazing work so far.
Plz Dont give up. The Demo is amazing.
Goodluck team hopefully you can get super sonic and aquatic ruins done soon, once you’re done with that you can add in casino night zone and it’ll be connected since we already have hill top zone and hopefully sometime you can add knuckles as a playable character
This is an amazing work you guys are doing, I just in love with that! Have consider opening a patreon to help you out?
please make the lost levels :ocean wind , wood zone, sand shower zone , madness mountain,hidden palace, cyber city,tropical sun,blue ocen and lost levels for search the badniks go to devianart and go to the profile of dolphman you can found sprites of badniks for the lost levels in google search concept arts of sonic 2 to find blue ocean badniks a fish and a ¿crustace? and i waiting for the end of the project please dont leave the project = )
Yay! I am patiently waiting, was so worried this had been abandoned
Looks really cool, the amount of polish that goes into this is stunning.
I wonder if tails will get a max speed Sprite…
Just amazing!
Waiting to play a complete conversion soon!
If only the rest of the stage had the same amount of detail as the plants in the lower right corner.
This project came to my mind when I heard of the ages remaster. Hope everything is alright. ^_^
Se van a implementar Genocide City Zone,Wood Zone,Dust Hill Zone,Hidden Palace Zone,Death Egg Zone Act 1,2,3
will aquatic ruin will be publish in the demo 3.0
I really hope this comes out
Truly beautiful work.
don’t ever stop working on this guys, even if you take a break come back to it… eventually. Thanks!
Can’t wait for the next demo! I will definitely be making another video about it when it releases
The best fangame
Damn. Im waiting for new updates so much. And Sonic 3 HD:)
Hello from Russia.
Your project is absolutely amazing guy, can’t wait to play the whole game !
This project is looking great. I’m loving what I’m seeing and I can’t wait for the Full Release (which won’t come out for a long while I’m assuming). Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is my all-time favorite Sonic game, and this project will make the experience 100x better. I am in full support for this project, and I’ll even pay money if I have to if I wanna experience this masterpiece. Keep up the great work and stay strong to the whole team behind this project!
This project is amazing…..
sanic 4 Happy Dog is gud
hola que tal? quería preguntar si ya sacaron mas mapas del sonic y si es así tendría que actualizarlo o volverlo a bajar?
Seo Ji Hye para 1st Look.
/May
this definitely has the potential to be the best version of sonic 2, it just feels and looks so good to play, if i’d have to note anything to add it would be to add a separate mode that would change the stage hazard and enemy placement to be more fair and less cheap but other than that i am supremely impressed definitely would recommend!!
It’s exciting to see the amount of time you are investing in this, such passion! we are really looking forward for this features, this is like a prize to all of us who loved the original Sonic titles. Congratulations!!
ME ENCANTA COMO VA QUIERO QUE SALGA LO MAS PRONTO LA ACTUALIZACION CON SUPER SONIC Y LAS CHAOS EMERALD
is this project still being worked on?
I absolutely love the looks of this HD remake! My childhood is coming to life again!
Is this still happening? I’m guessing there’s just nothing to report yet, but other people are getting me concerned so I thought I’d ask.
This is a work of art. Everything has been done so tastefully, from the way the leaves move with the wind to the loading of the next level, even the credits look amazing. Thank you for all the hard work everyone has put in. The animations, art work, and programming are exceptional. You’ve made me and my 4 year old boy the happiest kids in the world!
This is a truly amazing game sonic 2 was awesome when it first came out and the 2 tech demos that you’ve realsed brings me complete nostalgic and happiness again very amazing work
Mis respetos a todos vosotros por el trabajo altruista que estáis haciendo…Sueño con el día que terminéis el proyecto y poder jugar con Súper Sonic
Muchas gracias y ánimo!!
Listen man sega would never do that
If sega is smart they’d hire you all to do HD versions of all sonic versions as well as other games. So far this game is sickkkkkkkkk
I discovered Sonic 2 HD today. It’s simply impressive. Not only because of the work done, even if incomplete at this stage, but also because a non-official team knows better than Sega what the fans of Sonic want and do the job better than them. Continue your great job Team S2HD, I’m very impatient to try the next version. Just too bad that I can’t help you in this fantastic project.
Hope this get’s finished soon!
the game is very good i met this game because of a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFadfEflKcw and from this channel youtube.com/user/ThePaiTroll
epic
SEGA isn’t gunna take this down, i know it!
Amazing game. shows incredible potential to be the best fanremake that the sonic series has ever known. the quality is up to par with sega themselves.
This is epic, your really inspiring…
I absolutely hope this project is completed it’s just so awesome that a team of fans has proposed to remaster a masterpiece like sonic 2 just wanted to say that this projects awesome and keep up the great work!
I hope they are still working on it.
OMG! Thank you guys so MUCH!!! I’m still rooting for you guys, please make this game come true!
now all to do is re release the game after you make the special stages beatable and make S.S! (Super Sonic)
I have an idea. What if the game came with a Sonic And Knuckles ROM and whenever you drag the ROM to the game it starts Knuckles in Sonic 2 HD.
i really like the game keep going i really want to see a full version about this and a guestion is there going to be knuckles in the game or not yet?
Why couldn’t everything (including the characters) be as detailed as the leaves (bottom right foreground) in the underwater shot? It makes it look unfinished and lazy.
2020 progres?
I love this project
wow
This game shows potential to be amazing and also let’s hope sega is not gonna do a nintendo and DMCA takedown this masterpiece
Dead project?
