Head gun: It’s coming – Sonic Origins Plus! We are pleased to announce that we have once again partnered with SEGA to update this project; You know we can’t resist Sonic! Here’s some of what’s in store for you in Origins Plus:
We were excited to hear that SEGA wanted to make Amy playable, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to help her get some attention! New playable characters need new sprites, and our own @ASStartShow certainly corresponded to the design task, while @DashPadSPD data management is done.
Knuckles is now playable on Sonic CD! As with the playable Amy, we were excited to provide new graphics to complement SEGA’s efforts to make this possible.
Along with SEGA’s work to update the collection, we’ve also been able to provide some additional updates and improvements to help make the game the best it can be! We appreciate their openness to our feedback and suggestions.
We are very proud to have had a hand in creating the best in this collection; Sega has given us a lot of credit by allowing this and we really appreciate it! We can’t wait for you to experience it!
