This is the official Dev Blog of the "Sonic and the True King" Visual novel. Watch us fight Visual Novel Maker into submission and help Sonic and his friends save the world from a new evil. All official Dev posts are tagged sattkdev. F.A.Q.
Since we’ve shown you some character art now, we figured, you’d be interested in the look of the world. And as a loving homage to all the Sonic games we love, we’ve decided the first you should see is the Green Hill Zone.
Now, this background differs from the other Game Backgrounds in a way. Usually when making environmental art there should be a ‘path’ of some sort leading the viewer into the picture as if you opened a door and looked into a painted world. It should ideally give you the feeling that you can just take a step and you’ll be inside the drawing.
However with the Green Hill Zone we wanted to stay true to the side-scrolling platformer aesthetic, so all paths in this drawing lead from the left to the right, instead of INTO the picture.

Have all the positions for OCs been filled or are there still open ones?
Applications are open until the end of December. Some positions have been filled already with characters that were just an instant “YES”, or characters that we need before December but we’re taking our time filling the rest to give you guys time to send us your applications.
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.
The poll was…very clear. So this is the order in which the character sheets will be posted. One every friday. Starting today with Jet the Hawk whom I’m going to upload later today.
I’m not gonna lie the result was surprising even for us. We were pretty convinced Shadow was going to be the winner. But here we are! The Edgehog has to wait one more week.
I would also like to speak out my heartfelt condolences for Knuckles. Who was brutally murdered by this poll.
How do I know that you’re not going to steal my O.C.?
Well for that particular reason we included this:
into the recruiting post.
However aside from promising that and saying that we really just love OC’s and want to give them more of a platform we can’t do much to assure you of this.
So if you don’t trust us with your OC then that is entirely alright and the choice to submit an OC to us or not is also entirely yours.
Though here is a thought: We put a lot of love and work into this project. This entire Game means a LOT to us and naturally we want it to do well. But a game cannot do well without publicity and finally the people who play it. So if we start stealing OCs (I’m not even sure how that would work to be honest but let’s just say hypothetically we start stealing OCs) then the internet would call us out on it and we would lose everything we’re currently working so hard to achieve.
So if we went and stole people’s OCs we’d be hurting ourselves more than you, because you can still prove that the OC is yours and we’d be entirely in the wrong. So you wouldn’t really lose your OC but go through a lot of grief, and we would lose everything we’re working for. By all means, that just doesn’t sound like a desirable outcome for anyone.
So, again, it is entirely your choice whether you want to send us your OC or not, but you have our word, as stated in the disclaimer above, we own none of the OCs and will treat them with the utmost respect <3
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention <3
Now that we’re getting all these lovely OCs from you (and boy, oh boy, are we LOVING your OCs \*O*/), we want to share some official art as well.
Aside from you, the Protagonist, the game has a total of 13 main characters, 6 of which we want to share with you. These 6 are of course: Sonic Tails Knuckles Silver Jet and Shadow.
You’re gonna be getting one of them every week but in which order? We’ll let YOU decide that. The poll will end on Friday, October 26th, and on the same day we’ll upload your first favourite.
mutated-green-things asked:
I'm curious. Will the quiz we took on the shards affect the story in any way? Like maybe at the beginning we'll put the shard we got into a box and that might change events or perhaps reactions we can have in certain situations?
Damnit. That’s such a good idea. *rubs chin*… I’ll see if it can be implemented somehow. But as of right now the quiz was just for fun. Mostly because I personally enjoy personality tests and thought “Why not make your own for the Visual Novel”
But now I can’t stop thinking about your idea <3 I’ll see how practical it is.
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!

Hi! I love this project you guys are doing, hope you're all okay! I wanted to ask if it was okay to submit an oc I have? She's a villain and has a coloured preference so I can hand that over if you like! Thank you for your time! 'v'
Of course <3 please go ahead <3
And also thank you! <3 We’re glad you’re enjoying what we’ve put out so far.
