Hey there guys! I've been doing some graphic design for Project Sonic 2017's reveal in March. I'm on break at the moment, so I can stick around for a little bit to answer questions about the game.
NOTE: I will not answer any questions about the game's story or the game's title. Need to same some stuff for March ;). So you can ask about mechanics and all. Here's the Amazon page I've been working on. It's nearly done. Thoughts?
Robert Williams
Will it finally have a chao garden again?
Benjamin Campbell
No chao garden. This game doesn't need it. I know the fans want it (*cough* mobile app coming soon *cough*) but for 2017, no.
Josiah Phillips
is it good? no bugs? no edgy shit?
Hudson Lewis
I sure hope not
Caleb Richardson
Who's composing the OST?
What can you tell us about Sonic Mania?
Favorite food?
John Evans
No big bugs, some small ones are still there. Sonic Team is fixing it, and it should be completed by April. No edgy shit. Promise.
John Stewart
Is it suck?
Bentley Stewart
OST... Crush 40. Shhh...
Mania? Any specific stuff you have in mind?
Dominic Nelson
No. It is not suck. It's actually IMO, the best Sonic game in recent memory (except Mania).
Jackson King
is level design an improvement over generations?
David Fisher
This game is more realistic in terms of level design. Not too many loop-de-loops and corkscrews, but in place of it, there's some wicked fast speed sections in cities and such.
Ethan Gray
Do you know any levels in Sonic Mania that we don't already know about?
Can you confirm that Project Sonic 2017 uses the Generations engine?
Michael Diaz
I only know of a few more levels. There's some cool ones in there. My favorite one is this one that takes place in a lava mountain.
2017 uses the Gens engine as a base but is modified.
Brayden Long
any info on what pc ports is sega working right now? vanquish? bayonetta? jet set radio future?
Sebastian Thomas
do you know the names of any of the levels? any new old levels?
Jose Gonzalez
I heard Jet Set Radio being considered for PC. The big focus right now is... Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colors. There's a big demand for them. Yes. I won't say any new ones out of respect for the work Christian Whitehead has put in them, but one old one is Mystic Cave zone.
Daniel Cruz
is it possible for Sonic 06 to have a pc release? considering how popular is in a meme way.
Gabriel Ross
Eh... I don't see anything happening with that too soon. Sega wants to have the more popular games ported first.
Nathan Peterson
Alright guys, I have 15 more minutes of my break! If you have questions, ask them fast!
Luis Wilson
Jet Set Radio is already on PC, you immense retard.
Oliver Sanchez
I'm discussing about Jet Set Radio Future
Bentley Torres
>I'm literally so autistic that I couldn't deduce that he was talking about Future
Jaxson Bell
How many playable characters? Is it just Sonic? I haven't been following the game so sorry if this is common knowledge
Joshua Long
> no edgy shit anti-edgy faggots are literally the worst people ever
Jace Bell
Sonic and Classic Sonic and that third character. Who it is, I can't say due to my no spoilers rule. But it's not BOOM Sonic
Lucas Murphy
What's with that weird line on the left edge of the "buy" window? Right where the trailer image with huge compression artifacts meets the Amazon UI? No other game on Amazon has that issue. Could it be photoshop and you're full of shit?
Owen Ross
No, it's legit. This is the mockup I had to send to Sega for approval. This Amazon page project just started this week because they didn't want any leaks (but don't worry, I gotcha guys covered ;) ) so that's why it looks photoshopped. Because in a way it is.
William Moore
Alright so I just went back to work, but since the rest of my team is out to dinner still, I can answer a few more questions.
Whether or not you believe if I'm legit is your own opinion I stated I'm a graphic designer for this, the first step is a mockup of the final product. That's where we're at. So sorry if it makes you question my validity.
Liam Perry
Is the third character someone we've seen before or completely new?
Luis Taylor
Why is Sega so intent on Sonic Mania not having a true physical release?
Tyler Wright
Someone completely new. And this time, it's not a hedgehog.
Jaxson Brooks
Is Switch the lead platform?
Christopher Scott
>Doesn't get enough attention. >Makes up a reason to stay when he already gave himself a time limit. You can do better than this man I believe in you.
Luis Johnson
Well, there will be one. It'll be announced in March.
Matthew Lopez
Hey, whatever floats your boat man. I could not be here at all if you'd like. I got a call from them and I will need to have a hard stop in 3 minutes, because they're walking back right now. So I guess you get what you wanted huh? For 2017? No. Xbox One is.
Ayden Morgan
Alright guys. I need to end here. Last bits of info I can give. Mania is awesome. Look out for that lava mountain zone. Sonic 2017's name will be revealed in March. It's not a titled sequel. And finally, Mania and 2017 are connected in some way. Thanks guys!
