Aaaand here’s our last boy!!! (Well last of the first 6 out of 13 main characters anyway)
Knuckles represents “Courage” in Sattk.
This is a post talking about the Setting of Sattk - Before the Fall (the tech demo)
The plot of the tech demo and the source of the evil you fight in the main game both lie within the confines of the glorious city of Babylon. Thousands of years before Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends fight their ongoing battle against Eggman.
In fact the 3000 BC in the header image refers to 3000 years before the Chaos incident wiped out nearly the entirety of the Echidnas.
In a time that long most of Babylon’s history was destroyed of lost. But fact is it was once the capital of the greatest empire in all of Mobius. It was founded by travellers who came from the stars in search of a new homeworld and riches. Their technology was so far advanced compared to that of the ancient mobians that they were readily accepted as deities. What they really were, no one knows. Maybe they were gods or maybe they were mortals from another world.
Their technology anyway made Babylon the great city it was. They were capable of harvesting the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity. Powering the entire city and a wide array of weapons with unrivalled destructive force. Suddenly mobians were able to travel the skies, have electric light during the dark hours, and create moving and thinking creatures out of mere rocks.
This glorious and magical city is yours to explore (to a point) in the demo.
Now I’m sure you noticed that Sattk’s Babylon does not exactly match to 100% with the Babylon in the official Sonic games.
We’re deliberately taking some liberties here. We’re for example completely ignoring the whole “We’re descendants of real Genies” part of Sonic Riders canon. There’s no Genies happening in Sattk. However the hanging gardens of Babylon are still a space ship,a powerplant and a weapon. We’ve redesigned the thing a little but it’s still close enough to its appearance in the Riders games.
We’ve also taken some liberty with Babylon’s energy source. In canon the hanging gardens are powered by an artificial black hole. In Sattk the black hole engine is still a thing but it lies dormant and is only used for space travel or to transform the gardens into a weapon. The main energy source which the city of Babylon uses to power the whole city are the sun sails attached to the gardens.
They resemble wings or feathers but really they’re translucent solar panels harvesting the sun’s energy directly and without being in danger of lethal instabilities.
All in all we wanted to stick close to the human Babylonians in this sense because they worshipped the sun above all else. Their symbol of the sun is synonymous with their highest god. Thus, we decided to make the sun a crucial element in every aspect of the game.
Let us know what you think about all this.
Here’s our youngest boi! Still a badass though just like the other heroes!
Tails represents Joy in Sattk!!
Sonic and the True King - Sonic’s Theme
It’s the middle of the week! So here’s the second custom piece of music Cleffy created for us! It’s a fantastic Sonic nostalgia medley and I’m not gonna lie I’ve been listening to this on repeat while drawing for the game. It will serve as Sonic’s own theme song and the Green Hill Zone theme. I cannot stress enough how much I’m personally in love with this song.
Please check out Cleffy’s youtube channel and their tumblr blogs @doublecleffmod or @doublecleffmusic and give them some love!
Sonic and the True King - Trust
I would like to say a massive “Thank you” to our incredibly talented composer, Cleffy, who did an absolutely perfect job on all the custom music pieces that they have created for Sattk so far. And we’re more than excited for any future pieces.
Please check out Cleffy’s youtube channel and their tumblr blogs @doublecleffmod or @doublecleffmusic and give them some love!
Sonic and the True King - Music
Hello everybody!
This week we have a bit less visual stuff to show. But not to worry. We have something -just- as good!!!
We’re going to talk about the Music in Sattk! And soon enough we’ll even give you some music to listen to as well.
Now, Sonic and the True King, is an entirely non-profit project that is being created by a tiny tiny team. So the budget for this game is virtually non-existant. Thus, most of the music used in the game was composed by the incredible Kevin MacLeod who’s Royalty Free music you can find on incompetech.com (I would put in a link but tumblr has recently made posts containing links hidden in the tumblr search feature)
Alls his music is completely free, and yet really good in quality, which has a good- and a bad side.
On the good side, it means we have access to a diverse soundtrack to fit all the scenes you’ll be playing through in Sattk.
On the bad side, there is a high chance that you’ve heard the same tracks in other indie-games before.
BUT, I said most of the music comes from incompetech.com, not all of it.
In fact one part of your tiny tiny developer team happens to be an incredibly talented composer who has already created two amazing tracks for the game which we’ll be sharing with you soon! And they’re also in charge of composing the game’s official theme song. That, however you will most likely have to wait for, until the game’s release.
We hope you’re looking forward to the two tracks we’ll be sharing with you in the next days because we’ve certainly been listening to them on repeat since we got them.
Hey, this post may contain adult content, so we’ve hidden it from public view.
Are you scared yet?
Well you should be! For the spookiest day of the year we have something very scary to talk about!
Sonic and the true king’s bad endings.
We
aim to make a game that can be played by as many people as possible,
but unfortunately… Sattk is not necessarily suitable for the youngest
of us. So the game is going to be for teen and up audiences. Why?
Because YOU
are not the only one who can die in the game. In fact… with some
wrong decisions… you can doom absolutely everyone. Not just the
heroes. But regular people as well. Even Eggman!
And while not ALL bad endings are apocalyptic, they are all unforgiving.
Alright,
now, don’t be -too- scared. Sattk is not going to inclued heavy gore or
anything of the kind. There’s gonna be blood but not more than in any
teen and up audiences movie or other videogames. So don’t worry too
much.
And of course, this is a visual novel, so you will always be able to save and load and try again <3
Still it’s advised to make your choices carefully……. after all, the fate of Mobius depends on it!
Also…. who… is this in the picture?
What happened?

The poll has spoken.
You want to see our favourite green chicken hawk.
From today on you will get one character of the main six every friday. Next in line is everyone’s favourite Edgehog.
Jet represents Memory in Sattk
Legend of the Sky Amulet - Part 2 + Quiz
As mentioned in Part 1 of the legend the Sky Amulet is powered by six gems. These Gems are called the Sky Shards and each of them represents a trait of the god who created them. On their own the Sky Shards have little magical power, but when they are combined into the Sky Amulet even the greatest foes can be beaten.
The Six Sky Shards are:
In Sonic and the True King each Sky Shard is represented and carried by one of the first six heroes. Knuckles, Jet, Shadow, Tails, Silver and Sonic. Can you guess which gem corresponds with which hero?
And more importantly, would you like to find out which Sky Shard represents YOU?
Well wonder no more! Because we’ve created a personality test for you, to find out which Shard would be yours. Until then keep guessing which hero goes with which gem. We’re going to post the solution on Friday!
