Ever wanted to listen to the musical scores in SRB2, without having to download three programs to rip the files, rename them, and convert them yourself? Well, now you can do just that! The SRB2 OST is now available for download in .mp3 format, so what are you waiting for? Click on the link below for more information:
Welcome to SRB2.org!
Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a 3D Sonic the Hedgehog fangame built using a modified version of the Doom Legacy source port of Doom. SRB2 is closely inspired by the original Sonic games from the Sega Genesis, and attempts to recreate the design in 3D. While SRB2 isn't fully completed, it already features tons of levels, enemies, speed, and quite a lot of the fun that the original Sonic games provided.
We’re now on YouTube!
That’s right, Sonic Team Jr. now has its own official page on YouTube. Check it out:

There’s no videos up yet, but we will be adding some content eventually. Subscribe now and watch out for us!
On an unrelated note, our e-mail address has changed – for the final time – to sonicteamjunior@gmail.com. Update your address books!
Update: Nope, that’s a total lie. The address for reaching Sonic Team Jr. is still stjr@srb2.org, sorry for the confusion!
SRB2 2.0 – Now with more MD2 Model Goodness!
Our old friend SSNTails decided to do a little work on the MD2 model rendering. They now have GL lighting, can be flipped upside down, support translucency, and the animation is interpolated, so they’re no longer jerky!
Enjoy!
Upcoming downtime
The datacenter where SRB2.org is hosted at will be doing some network maintenance on the March 9, between the hours of 3 AM to 6 AM CST. This means for you that SRB2.org will be down during these hours.
v2.0.5, and the Master Server
This is in response to the dozens of e-mails, board posts, and messages we’ve received in respect to our upcoming release, v2.0.5.
Let’s get the obvious answer out of the way first:
No, it’s not out yet.
“Then why are there people playing with that version on the master server?”
Because the developers are testing a new enhancement to the master server, which gives the player far more information about the netgame than they ever had before. See for yourself:
Essentially all player-oriented statistics (eg. score, time on server, team colour, skin, name, etc.) have been incorporated into the master server listing, to make browsing the MS far more intuitive and informative.
Now, this feature hasn’t been completely finished yet (which is part of the reason why you don’t have v2.0.5 yet), but we hope nonetheless that not only will it be fully functional at launch. This is only the first step in giving SRB2 more game-monitoring and statistics-gathering features, so sit tight for the future. We hope that this MS enhancement will positively contribute to your online experiences with SRB2, especially when put alongside all of the other netplay enhancements slated for next release…
Welcome to the future!
…well, no, not really. But the website’s been completely redone, top to bottom, using the magic of Web 2.0 technology! The site is now based on blog software, rather than old-fashioned HTML…this doesn’t mean a whole lot to you guys, but to the guys who have to maintain and update the site on a daily basis, it does wonders.
On another note, thanks to how streamlined and simple this system is to use, expect blog post updates to become more frequent than they ever were before. We may actually start using it for posting little tidbits of development updates to you guys, if all goes well.
Of course, this is only the first step of many to modernize srb2.org – expect plenty more site updates like this in the future.
Stay tuned!
Credit (and lots of love) goes to forum admin and code monkey Cue for the site redesign.
History Pages updated, SRB2 almost completely chronicled
Hey guys, how’s it goin’?
Anywho, the site has been updated quite a bit…The sidebar is now 18.75% more condensed, for starters. I’ve also added the remainder of the SRB2 releases (Final Demo 1.01 and up) to the History Page, although a few releases are still missing. If anyone still happens to have the original installation file for 1.09 or 1.01, don’t be shy, go on the forums and drop me a line, so I can add it to the collection. You’ll get a special mentioning on the front page, too.
They’ve been found! Thanks to Mystic and KaeptnIglo for finding the two missing archives!
SRB2 v2.0 is now available!
Why 2.0?
So many changes have been made to SRB2 in the past three years (can you believe it’s been that long since the last release?), and since this version is NOT backwards-compatible at all with previous SRB2 versions, I feel it warrants a version upgrade. The game now has a fully completable single player campaign. It isn’t finished, but does look polished.
There are scads of other changes, but to list them would be exhausting. I hope we’ve exceeded most people’s expectations on what SRB2 is capable of – it certainly has mine!
As you may or may not know, over the past year I assembled a team of very talented individuals to work on SRB2 that became known as the “Sky Sanctuary Team”. Their work is very much apparent in this release today.
I have also given the SRB2.Org domain and control of the website to Alam and Logan, while Orospakr runs the code repositories and bug tracking.
I no longer have any critical control over SRB2’s development. With a wife in tow and a baby on the way, I need to start thinking about other priorities in my life. Spazzo will likely handle any news updates and small site maintenance from here on out, with Mystic overseeing day-to-day development operations. Like him or not, with Mystic in control, I am confident that SRB2 can be completed to its original vision and not get mired in the cruft and indecision that plagues so many fan games.
Wow, another update within two days…
I’d just like to make an announcement that the address used for contacting STJr. has been changed.
If you wish to contact us at Sonic Team Jr., please send e-mails to our new address, stjr@srb2.org
More information can be found on the contact page.
RAWR!
Made a few minor updates to the site, and removed some of the outdated/unused material. I’m really surprised at how well this site is holding up, given how old it’s starting to get…
