Does/Do the artist(s) working on the game have dA pages we can watch?

Unfortunately not for the reasons I adressed in this post here: https://sonic-and-the-true-king.tumblr.com/post/180030143657/will-we-ever-get-to-meet-the-team-or-do-you-guys
<3 thank you so much for wanting to support us <3

Will there be an multiverse sonic world mentions in the game and what percentage of the soon to be released game is done.

Does Blaze count as multiverse mentions? Because Blaze is definitely in the game. We’re not gonna go into the Archie world though. (Sadly because I really love Scourge but having archie canon for this game would make it too complicated)
And the Tech demo is about 30% done, by which I mean the writing is done. It’s just the art that takes a while, once the art is there it’s just a matter of putting it all together. <3 But it’s getting there. >w<

What is your opinion on OCs that are technically immortal?

How immortal is technically immortal? Sayyyy all of mobius just died. would they survive? Cuz, man, good for them!!!
Immortal OCs are only sad when they’re put into a romance with a mortal character. Otherwise??? Good! Isn’t it the best if your OC can’t die?
If you’re asking if we can use an immortal OC in the game?…. mmm I don’t see why not? They’d just be really really unhappy and lonely after any of the big bad endings.

The more I hear about this project the more I get interested in it. I am really exited even though I know it'll be some time before you can finish the game.

Thank you so much!!!
I know it’s still super early in development and we have a long way to go. But we’ll do our super best to keep it interesting for you guys along the way!!! >W<
Trust me, we’re just as excited and wished we were done already XD
But alas. It’s still so much work. It’ll be worth it. I believe in this project, especially now that I’m reading so much lovely feedback!!!

Is this game a turn-based RPG? If so, how complex will the battle system be? Is it 1st person like Dragon Quest or side view like Final Fantasy?

Sonic and the True King and its Demo are Visual Novel games UwU
I assume since it’s a Visual Novel you could say it’s sort of first person, yes.
The battle system is somewhat of an experiment. I haven’t seen many VNs with battle systems, and the few I have seen have replaced the battles with mini-games like bubble shooters.
Our Battle system is decision based. Imagine it like reading an adventure novel that gives you free reign of the main character during the action scenes, but depending on what you decide the other characters react and the outcome of the battle changes.
Some features that we’re going to test for practicality in the demo later are, a persistent healthbar that basically records your ‘mistakes’ during battle. (Mistakes in airquotes here because not every time you can get injured is a mistake. Sometimes it’s what you -have to do- to achieve a specific outcoome)
The injuries then carries on into the next fight and so on and so on. Options to be healed are limited and losing all your health results in Game Over.
Status effects like ‘bleeding’ and ‘poison’ are also something we’re testing.
And the last feature we’re only testing so far are timed responses. Which is basically the Visual Novel equivalent to quicktime events. That’s roughly the concept of the battle system. But as I said we’re still testing things out so it might change until the demo comes out.

Are you still accepting OCs?

Yes! You can submit OCs until the end of December <3

Will we ever get to meet the team? Or do you guys prefer to work on this in secret?

Hello!!
Well we knew the question of our team would eventually come. As I’ve answered before, here: https://sonic-and-the-true-king.tumblr.com/post/179171387392/if-you-dont-mind-me-asking-how-many-people-are
We’re an insanely small team. There’s me, the mod of this blog, who’s also the writer, main artist and programmer (if you can call it that), then there is the extremely talented @doublecleffmusic who is in charge of as much custom music as we can afford. And then we have a third person who may or may not do art for the game, depending on how busy she’ll be with her actual job. And then we have some friends supporting us by giving us input in the story or helping us work out quests.
One additional team member would be our voice actor for Silver the Hedgehog who’s going to voice the intro of the game UwU
Now, our musician, Cleffy, doesn’t need to be anonymous and in fact you should all go check their stuff out. We’re going to be posting some custom music on this blog soon so you can see what their work is like. But really, check ‘em out. They’re just about to release a new album UwU
Myself and the other artist would like to remain anonymous. Mostly to keep our artist names out of the search engines for reasons related to our actual jobs <3
Our friends will of course remain anonymous as well.
And we will announce our voice actor once that is all confirmed and figured out and paid for >W<
I hope you understand uwu

Will there be a date and site for the game release? I love your blog by the way ☺️❤️

Well actually now that you mention it, one thing we’re aiming to test with the demo is the hosting website. There’s currently three we’re looking at. Those being:
All three allow the hosting of fangames such as this one. So they would be suitable. However the demo will feature a small optional survey at the end where you can tell us how you liked the hosting site. We’ll make sure to look further into the options, though, and make a proper announcement at some point.
The full game is still going to be featured on several websites to make it easier.
Regarding release dates. Not at all. The Demo will most likely come out between january and february 2019 sometime.
The full game hower… We would LIKE TO finish the game by the time the Sonic Movie comes out in November 2019. So in about a year from now on. Ideally we’d even like for the Beta testing to be done by then. However it is still almost impossible to say how realistic that will be.
We will try our very best UwU
And thank you so so much! Your questions are always delightful!!! >W<

So was the game sonic and the true king inspired by some other sonic game or was it your own idea.

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!!!

So, uh... I just stumbled across this page a couple of days ago, but because I'm busy I don't have time to go through all of the content and process it in order to understand it. So, here's my questions: when you say "game" do you mean that you're actually making a game out of this? Is this an RP blog since I've seen a few submission post of fan characters it made me wonder? Or is it simply an ask blog? Perhaps a place to organise your visual novel and share it at the same time? I am so confused

Hello there,
No worries at all!
The short version is: No, this is not an RP blog, and Yes, we’re making an actual game. And there is going to be a tech demo (A small stand-alone game that shows off the the main game’s gameplay features and such) early next year <3
The game is going to be a Visual Novel, and the OCs that we’re casting will become background characters or even quest givers in the world of our VN. We didn’t want to create a bunch of random OCs in a community like this where people are super creative and everyone has such lovely characters. It just made sense to us to cast them instead of making our own. (though we have some original characters of our own in the game too) <3
I’m sorry the blog was confusing to you we get a surprising amount of asks… hm. Actually you have a really good point. I’ll make a tag for development posts and one for answers to asks and link them properly. Maybe I should write an FAQ. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! <3
