Sonic Maker could work as long as you're able to work in broad strokes and sculpt the levels on a larger scale rather than dropping every tile individually like in Mario Maker.

No

I mean, half of S&K is bad, so I'm willing to give Mario Maker some leeway.

I had no idea this was a thing! Very cool. The Sonic fan game community has been going strong for a VERY long time. Like 20+ years. It's where Freedom Planet started. And as far as I know Sega has never made any attempt to shut down any of the fangames

The other one does too, in the form of a few stage mods for Sonic World.

Sonic completely breaks Mario stages especially with bounce, and Tails breaks them even moreso, but it'd still be great to see more.

(Also Sonic World is a really loving good fangame and what it lacks in polish it makes up for in sheer amount of content, play it)

Apparently this came up: https://www.sonicstadium.org/2020/05/sega-planning-longer-development-higher-quality-for-future-sonic-games/

Which doesn't explain why Forces was so unfinished, unless it sat in pre-production for ages on the assumption that they could crank out a boost game in no time, then realized that whoops, no they couldn't, and it needed to come out right there and then to tie into Mania.

From what I've heard they wasted a ton of time trying to figure out what kind of game Forces was going to be.

My understanding is that they say they were working on forces for ages, but they actually had absolutely nothing properly in the works until right before the 25th anniversary when they realised that people were expecting a big new game announcement, so they threw together a few renders to show at the event but basically had only just gotten started on the game.

Awesome. I’m really looking forward to seeing Jim Carrey play the more unhinged Robotnik we see at the end of the first one and also Tails.

Larryb
Oct 5, 2010

Yeah, I was ready to write the first one off the second we got the plot description but it wound up being surprisingly decent.

Considering Sonic’s movie backstory, I’m kind of curious as to what Tails’ deal is in this universe and how he knows Sonic. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a kind of sibling rivalry plot out of this, with Sonic getting jealous of Tails suddenly taking all the attention away from him but warming up to him by the end.

I’m also curious if he’ll continue to be voiced by his actress from the games like he was for his cameo in the last one or if they’ll go with someone else.

I can't wait for the video game adaptation of the movie adaptation of the video game where you play as the cop guy 80% of the time.

My theory on Tails was always that Longclaw sent him to find Sonic after she cleared everything up with the Echidnas. In the earlier space-lizard version of the movie, Sonic's powers were explicitly tied to a chaos emerald, which is why the Echidnas would be after him.

Also, the first movie establishing that Sonic's quill can give his powers to a non-living machine is a perfect setup for Robotnik creating Metal Sonic.

They should make a game based on that little 16bit montage at the end of the movie with the Sonic Mania devs. I’d be more down for that than just a Mania 2.

Someone did a re-imagining of Sonic 3D Blast into 2D.

I feel like I don't see a lot of completed fan projects so I figured it'd be worth sharing here.

It seems ok. The level and boss design is definitely fan-game tier, with there being some spots in the levels where there's only one way forward and it's kind of annoying or confusing. (Definitely glad I picked Tails) and bosses can be pretty tough/unforgiving. There's some pretty obvious asset reuse from the 2D games to recreate the 3D blast levels, but that's pretty forgivable - there's a definite charm to seeing some of the levels in 2D, and they made sure go bring over some of the central gimmicks (like the spinners from Rusty Ruin.)
