I once had an email summary that read “won £10k prize”. The actual email was “Chance to win a 10k prize!”
I’ve turned it off ever since.

In games, “Show, don’t tell” can give way to a kind of next step: “Involve, don’t show” (and S3K is unironically a good example).

Today we added the spin dash to Sonic Dream Team. This was a long time coming, and required tons of tweaking and testing to get it to feel right, especially the slope stuff. Have fun rolling around at the speed of sound 😁

Fast Fusion is euphoric flow state transcendental experiences on tap. My god, literally just making the vehicles move around is sublime.

And so after an amazing two weeks, I say goodbye to Japan. Though this is not “sayonara”, it’s “mata ne” 😉

At an arcade in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku, this bin has a sticker featuring Tails, and it appears to be over 30 years old.

I was hoping to find Sonic Adventure 2 for DC but this’ll do for now

Various tunes from Sonic 1 can be heard from this crane game in Akihabara. You can win crisps (potato chips for USA readers)!

I have finally journeyed to Japan after years of saying I would visit one day! Photos do not do the size of Tokyo justice. Literally an urban sprawl to the horizon!

I have the original case (but only its back half), the disc and the manual. I wish I took better care of my DC cases :(

Our latest update for Sonic Dream Team is now out! As a big fan of SA1 I recreated the Jump Panel mechanic and we have used it throughout the new update ☺️ Also it’s my birthday today!

I too am an advocate for Last Revelation Good (except the Alexandria puzzle to get into Catacombs, that’s quite absurd unfortunately)

Been thinking of replaying the Sonic series from the beginning, streaming it all on twitch, going over my thoughts and perspectives. Not sure if folk would watch but it would help me get my thoughts out I guess 😅

Thank you for the kind words! This project was a dream come true for me as a lifelong fan. I never thought I would work on it officially so I made a fan project back in 2020/2021...and it helped me land the role (obviously I was a professional by that point but still):

Also the combat is more varied and offers more options than people realise because it’s quite systems driven. Like you don’t need to throw this guy into a fire, he just needs to make contact with it in any way, and you have like four ways to shove him into it
