Game
Sonic the Hedgehog Moon

3 years ago

3rd W.I.P screenshot of the Sonic Moon airbrushed art. I'll explain a bit about how I came to this design below:


I wanted a fairly minimalist key art akin to the Sonic 1 (SMS and MD) box arts. I also needed to make it so it would work well both wide and cropped (full-screen for regular use, cropped for SMS box-art mock-ups).

I figured it would be important to include Sonic, Sailor Moon, a chaos emerald, Dr. Eggman and a pink/purple comet (secretly represents the Chaos Goblin, the final boss and true villain). All of these elements are key to the game.

I also wanted Sonic and Sailor Moon to be drawn in their correct heights. Since Sailor Moon would be incredibly tall and I wanted to include both comfortably, I decided to have her lie down in a loop. That way she could be drawn next to Sonic in a good size. Plus it's also a nice way of making use of a Sonic trademark.

Here's a look at another mini-game, one that's more akin to golf (or SNOLF, I suppose), except with an upside-down parasol.

Also, special thanks to Creative Araya for providing some more accurate translations to Brazilian Portuguese.

I can't believe this project has hit 400+ followers (my own account event hit 200+)! Thank you all!

More in the article:

I redrew the key art again and I'm quite happy with how it's turned out this time. Also, here's the logo. Hopefully, I can show a W.I.P instruction manual soon.

Also, thank you very much for 700 followers! I can't believe it's continued to grow, somehow.

Before I go to bed before Christmas, I figured I'd share a quick update. Don't worry, this project isn't dead but it has been a LOOOOOOONG time since I made any update.

Here's some pages of the W.I.P manual. I was originally going to go with a plain design similar to a lot of SMS manuals. Instead I opted for a more colourful design inspired by several Game Gear manuals I saw.

What do you think?

In the lead up to Demo 4, here's Soundwave Star Zone Act 1 which can be accessed via Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Button 1 running in 50Hz mode.

Important stuff in the article below.

I drew a piece of artwork for the project. I hope to do more of these. They'll be perfect for the instruction manual (as well as thumbnails for YouTube playthroughs).

Merry Christmas to everyone! Demo 4.0 is finally public on Windows!

Decided to redo the art. I prefer drawing them like this (smaller, multiple drawings per sheet). What do you think?

Some of the FM soundtrack in action. In addition, I've added a new punching move to CCZ's boss, Boom Dogg. I've also redone his sprites. His animation is still limited but I think he looks a bit better.
