Since the Utopia early demo's contents are old and scrapped, thought I'd share a few things from its development. For starters, here's a Sonic model animation reel made during its creation (originally 60 fps but twitter won't allow that apparently).

In the 9/03/10 airing of 4Kids' Toonzai block, Sonic the Hedgehog summarizes the beginning of Dragon Ball Z's Saiyan arc. Sonic has absolutely no understanding of Dragon Ball Z, as demonstrated by his inability to convey the most basic information.

Recently upon playing the Mecha Sonic boss, I noticed something; he does the drop dash. Then I realized he has analogues to Sonic's barrier moves. That's when I had an epiphany: What if originally Sonic had all of these in his moveset? Mecha Sonic would thus be a mirror battle.

There is a much thinner line between the classic games and Adventure than many seem to think. Sonic was not haha silly old timey cartoon then suddenly hardcore anime cheese. Classic Sonic was essentially a shonen anime, and Sonic Adventure was just a sharper version of that.

Seeing people/reviews say that the Sonic movie "opted for being widely enjoyable instead of being faithful to the source material". I do not understand this idea that enjoyable and faithful are at odds. That's saying Sonic is not enjoyable and has to be NOT Sonic to be enjoyed.

They somehow even arrived at the same theory I did that South Island was once home to a bird civilization. The owl and echidna tribe being on South Island confused viewers but these things actually tie into the lore incredibly well. I hope this is more than amazing coincidence.

Measuring a video game's value in linear time, such as "80 hours long". This is such an insane metric of game value that wreaks havoc on how games are understood and how they're produced. It's like measuring the value of food by the size of the plate it sits upon.

At one point, I tested part of Kingdom Valley in the engine. We were surprised at how well the level design already worked, as if it was made for an engine like this, even down to Utopia's specific movement. Or maybe my designs were lining up with theirs as I progressed?

A game is as rich as the sum of its potential interactions. Good games tend to have emergent properties that give the player creative freedom to solve it. This was a strength in Sonic's approach to platforming that made it unique, and it now has far less, in some ways opposite.

Some have noticed South Island was depicted. It's frustrating and disheartening that fans rarely even know about South Island, it should be common knowledge. The movie had already impressed me with this, because it was a sign they researched Sonic much deeper than the surface.

Even if made perfectly, the boost games still strip Sonic of gameplay. This isn't mere opinion, they are objectively, functionally less. They remove movement properties, turn variables into binary choices, and rob players of agency. The differences are not an equal tradeoff.

"Who cares." "It's for kids." "It's just a corporate mascot." What kind of fan says this? Sonic was thoughtfully crafted by passionate creators. They did not see Sonic as a cynical brand. Only Sega did. The creators cared, and deeply. They had a vision and put their all into it.

Sonic Adventure did not randomly conjure a story, or suddenly decide the characters can talk, or have humans pop into Sonic's world. It is not a reboot. It is another episode in the story they had been telling all along, only now directly presented in the game.

First I need to establish something important: THE ORIGINAL SONIC GAMES HAD A STORY It is often believed Sonic originally had no story and that the characters were mute. This is not true. Everything seen in game was an expression of a more comprehensive vision Sonic Team had.

Not many fans even know about this source material, and the localizations and adaptations have endlessly confused the concept and canon. However, translations of the manuals and other material are easily accessible if you actually look for them. Yes, Sonic had a true canon.

I've had a lurking suspicion lately that Sonic Heroes was a very different game at some point in development. The more I think about it, the more it seems to make sense that Sonic Heroes was meant to be an RPG, or perhaps some hybrid. Consider the following in this thread.
