Sonic Utopia certainly wouldn't be the first 3-D Sonic the Hedgehog game but it could be the first
SUCCESSFUL one. What would make it even more impressive is if one determined fan was to succeed where Sega failed. Reaction to the trailer is almost universally positive and feedback on the demo has been very helpful according to Lange. No word yet on when he'll actually complete the game but stay tuned to Gamefragger as we'll provide updates when they're revealed.
If you've downloaded the demo and played the game, let us know what you think in the comment section below.
Sonic Utopia is an experiment that not only tries to expand on Sonic gameplay in an intuitive way in 3D, but also aims to capture the best of Sonic's style and tie it together in a cohesive experience. Nearly everything in this demo, from art to sound to the gameplay engine, was made from scratch.
I created all of the models, animation, and most of the textures and sound, as well as the music.
The 3D Sonic engine and the gameplay driving this vision was created by my programmer fellow Murasaki.
We've been working together on this for a while and we're glad to finally share it, with a debut at SAGE 2016.
The game is still in a very raw state, but you can try it for yourself here:
