A group of Artist and Programmers who make classic style games.

Main Project currently: Sonic Stars
All I ever wanted was just to make a passion project, just to make a fan game that is fun and makes me feel like I'm playing an actual Sonic Title back in the day. I'm sure that's what other people want too. You shouldn't have to tear someone down for having a different vision than yours.

I've had trouble just explaining that to people. From mechanics being "Stolen" from other fan games, or characters being too much like other established characters, "Avia being a Ray clone," It's not that deep.

They are games that marked a point in time in all development. I just think they deserve to be remembered in a good light, touched up by caring hands.

I even wonder, as I look at other canceled fan projects, I look at the art and effort that was once put in them, and I think "What can I do to honor this? To salvage and improve it?"

Thought about that with games like Sonic and the Moon Facility and Sonic Classic 2 to name a few.

The Emerald Asteroid Youtube is a bit bare, but it's meant for bigger updates. Keep that in mind.

The reason I am asking this, is simple. I'm an artist myself. I know how hard it is to create something from your bare hands and make it something good. I CAN'T support AI art. Not only does it ruin that hard work, it does a crummy job at it too. I will not support it even for game dev.

But it's really no big deal. just a misunderstanding.

So I urge you, check out NUCLEAR's music. It's fantastic as well, and he works hard to make it so.

On the news front: as I hopefully did mention, but will say again, The main project of ours, Sonic Stars, will be moving to GameMaker going forward. It's a lot easier on me and other programmers to actually make smooth progress on.

I'm not abandoning fusion, hence the Sonic Classic 2 remake.

As for our second project, this is a CLickteam Fusion Built remake of a game by Hezmania, Sonic Classc 2.

Renamed, Sonic Classic 2 Plus, the remake aims mainly to fix the issues the original version of the game has, like intense lag and unfinished music tracks, so on and so forth.

Sonic Stars is going to shift from a Clickteam Fusion Project, to a Game Maker Studio Project, provided that I find programmers to help be learn and build through the program. I will say that the Fusion build will not be wasted, as I will at least upload a playable concept of the game in it.
