Apparently there has been some pretty nasty drama within SFGHQ that I've seen on Twitter and it has made me debate with myself about appearing at SAGE 2021.

More in the article.


I won't go into any details on the drama here since I don't really know what's going on (I'm not part of the SFGHQ community or its Discord server, I only joined the site a month ago to set up my SAGE page) but it has made me start to reconsider my appearance at this year's expo. I've seen a few people state that they'll be avoiding SAGE this year and it has me thinking that I'll probably do the same.

It would be a shame since it would be fun to attend but I think it may be safer to distance myself from it, especially since it may also give me some flexibility in terms of development not having to worry about the expo's rules and deadlines.

Of course, if something good does happen I might change my mind. However, as it stands just don't expect Sonic Moon to show there. As someone who can be quite shy I think it may be a good idea, not that I believe anyone else who is attending is a bad person, I'm just very very cautious.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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 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.

Sorry for not posting in at least 3 months. I could've sworn I said I'd post more often.

I've decided to tweak Zone 2's boss to give it a bit more substance. I've raised it's HP from 8 to 10 and added a second projectile attack.

What do you think?

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