iwtbs2005 asked:
Why did you choose sonic, shadow, silver, knuckle, tails and jet as the cover of “sonic and the true king

The simple answer is: Because they are the 6 main characters of Act 1. There is another 7 main characters in the game, but I couldn’t use them for the cover as they’re exclusive to the Game’s Act 2. And everything in Act 2 is massive spoilers.

I was debating to put the Protagonist, aka. the player character, onto the cover image but, in all honesty… I couldn’t work out how to make it look nice, considering the Protagonist is an anonymous character. 

You’ll see more of the Protagonist on Monday <3

silverderp098 asked:
Super hyped to see the finished project! X3 is it possible to give a simple run-down of the characters or is that spoilers?

I’m glad you’re as excited as I am. I wish on a daily basis I could just yell the entire plot out into the world and show all the cool things I have planned…. but alas. We’ll all have to wait UwU

You’ll get to see the Protagonist on Monday! And relatively shortly after I’ll be revealing the rest of the main cast’s character sheets. Well. Half of the main cast.

Unfortunately everything and everyone who is exclusive to Act 2 of the story will be kept strictly under wraps until the release. So that’s a handful of main characters you’ll have to wait for until the final release. However the 6 main heroes are Sonic, Silver, Jet, Knuckles, Tails and Shadow. I’ll be posting their character sheets bit by bit sometime towards the end of this month.

Excluding the Protagonist there is a grand total of 13 major characters in this game. And a whole bunch of awesome side characters. But that being said! The characters aren’t all set yet and there is a pretty cool reason for it. I’ll make a post about that later this month as well.

2 questions: How far are you into the project, and what visual novel engine are you using?

To question 1:
To make it simple I’ll give you rough percentages.
The writing is about 80% done.
The art about 5%
The animations 20%
The Music 80%
The UI 20%
And the testing of game mechanics is about 40% done <3
So while the project is well underway there is still lots to do, especially on the art front. If I can manage it I would love to release the full game in about one year from now, after the Sonic movie comes out. How realistic that is, however, I have no idea. After all this is a non-profit hobby project, and no matter how much love I put into it I still have to earn money with my normal job on the side. I can only promise to do my best!

To question2:
I’m using Degica’s “Visual Novel Maker”
Degica is also the company who made RPG Maker, so you might know them. I’ve decided on this engine after testing out several others, and found Visual Novel Maker the best suited for my project. It’s definitely got its problems, as it’s still under development, but it’s easy to use and allows you to customize just about EVERYTHING without much trouble. Like making custom menu screens, or adding menus, mini games etc. It also comes with a huge Help library that teaches you step by step how to use everything, and the community is very active, so it’s easy to find answers to your questions online even if the software is still relatively new.

iwtbs2005 asked:
Will there be any shipping in sonic and the true king

I’m glad you asked!
The main focus of the game will be on the adventure aspect of the story, but in Act 2 there will be 3 established ships between major characters, not involving the protagonist however.

One that is hidden and will require you to keep a sharp eye open to spot it.
One that is relatively obvious but in no way plot relevant.
And one that is important to the plot in a way.

There is also going to be couples amongst the NPCs you meet, like an elderly married couple in a village, or something along those lines. There is definitely going to be one NPC couple that pops up in a quest. There may be more in other, minor quests that haven’t been written yet, though.

TL;DR: You will not be able to date anyone, but there are some of the characters you meet that are already in established relationships.
