I'm going to start off first with writing since this game is focused on storytelling so the writing is the most important.

Writing :

So uhhhh I may or may not have scrapped the Angel Island story. Yeah when I thought about it, I really wanted to do something more than just being restricted to 14 zones. Also I really want to use all these time watching Sonic character analysis videos to use. Therefore I decided to add dialogue, so yeah. I had several drafts of the new Prologue but I wasn't pleased with all of them so they were scrapped. I genuinely want to make it to a point that I'm happy with.

Coding :

Not much progress. Some new features and adjustments will be added to make the engine better.

Spriting :

Again not much progress. However, we're considering to use S3's style. [ although I wanted a custom one but the spriter thought he couldn't do it so yeah ]

Music :

Yeah idk what to tell you. We need composers that can do HD music similliar to Sonic Mania.

Conclusion :

Progress like got fucking reset. I'm more focused on an rp currently so mb if there aren't much progress being made.
