Did you know?- Dreamcast

Check out Dreamcast - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. Brutalmoose. 

The Sega Dreamcast was released November 27, 1998 in Japan, September 9, 1999 in North America, and October 14, 1999 in Europe. It was part of the sixth generation of video game consoles and released before the PS2,GameCube and Xbox. It is also one of my most cherished game console that I recently own. Back in those days (the late 90's) I wasn't a fan of Sega or Sonic. But when I read about the system in various gaming magazines,and then later saw it in person at a department store,I secretly wanted a Dreamcast! I mean, 128 bits?! That was mind blowing and ahead of it's time! It wasn't until a couple of years later when I read that Sega was discontinuing the Dreamcast and was no longer in the home console hardware business;this news shocked me. My dislike towards Sega faded are this news. In 2013 I became a proud owner of the Dreamcast! The Dreamcast continues to think!  

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Glitches - Son Of A Glitch - Episode 33

Check out Son Of A Glitch's Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Glitches -Episode 33! 

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was released in Japan on November 21, 1992 and in North American and European markets on November 24 the same year. Did you know that Sonic 2 is the reason why most games are released on a Tuesday? Yup, to promote the sequel's North American debut, the marketing team decided they needed a date to promote the release date,and decided on Tuesday,get it? "Sonic 2sday!" Back then  games didn't have an organized release schedule, often appearing at different retailers on different days. By knowing when the game would arrive at retail, Sega was able to turn the game’s release into an event, a plan that would be soon be emulated in countless midnight launches.

Small update

Here's a small update. So far 33% of the script is finished. And so far there is an estimated 38 mins. This is 38 mins of dialogue and this does not include action and scene descriptions,etc. 

The final designs are being worked on and hopeful be reveal mid June. Things coming a long slow but good! I'm sensing something big with this project! 

The Look

From the very beginning of this project there was no doubt  what medium would be used: 2D.  There's something about 2D animation that I just love! Don't get me wrong I also love 3D animation as well! I'm just more familiar doing 2D artwork then 3D.

Hello!

Hello and welcome to the development blog of Sonic Origins, an upcoming 2D animated Sonic fan film! Sonic Origins is an non-profit  fan film.

Right now the project is in a pre pre-production stage. The idea for the film started back in early summer 2013, and script development begun around late Oct, early Nov. 2013.

The idea behind this animated film is to explain how Sonic became the cool, confident, and speedy hedgehog we all know today! Story takes place before the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 1. And that’s pretty much all that we reveal about the plot.  Sonic and other Sonic characters and other properties  are copyrighted and own by Sega, Shy Art Studio is not affiliated with Sega.  This is a non-profit fan film.
