Well I mean considering it’s a -Sonic- game it had to have been inspired by Sonic in general right? So I can’t claim it was my idea originally.
But in general yes. Sattk has a lot of different inspirations. For example the storybook series, like Sonic and the Black knight and Sonic and the secret rings, which probably explains the style of this game’s title.
And then of course there’s the Sonic Riders games which deal with the Babylon theme which we’re REALLY gonna get into in sattk. And then of course there’s Sonic Forces which inspired the anonymous protagonist.
Aside from that the story is still entirely ours and since Visual novels are so overused for dating games we wanted to make something that has no dating in it at all. Just a good old Sonic adventure!!!
