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.
Yes, you read correctly! We are VERY happy to announce that SATTK has a present for you all.
In early 2019 (exact date tba.), we will be releasing the SATTK Tech Demo, “Sonic and the True King - Before the Fall”!!!
It will show off some of the game mechanics that are unique to SATTK, like the fighting system and one of the different puzzle types. But also visual novel typical things, such as branching storylines based upon player choices and an affection points system (sort of… it’s not exactly ‘affection’ you’re earning, but for a lack of a better description let’s call it that for now).
All that will be wrapped up nicely in a little stand-alone story that is loosely connected to the main game’s plot. More information on the demo will be coming in the next weeks, such as who the demo’s protagonist is, and which setting you’ll be playing in.
For now we would like to give a big thank you to the following people who’s OC’s will appear in the demo! The following lovely OCs will also be posted to this blog after this post here goes up. So keep your peepers peeled!
@sonic-vverehog with Lady Sprocket as a Villager / Temple Assistant
@axisthewolf with Axis the Wolf as a Bar Visitor / Villager
@rrosyan with Ash the Dog as a Bar Visitor / Villager
@nanasity with Marshall the Lynx as a Bar Visitor / Villager
(There is also a few others who don’t have a tumblr account or are not being listed here for similar reasons. Those will be named in the credits at the end of the demo properly)
To those of you who’s OCs are going to be in the Demo: After the Demo has been released you will be given high resolution character art of your characters. You will be free to use and upload them how and wherever you wish, though of course we would appreciate to be given credit for the art <3
The same OCs might also re-appear in the finished game in some capacity.
Thank you again for your support, without your beautiful characters the world of Mobius would be a bland and empty one. We sincerely hope you will like the way your characters have been portrayed in the game.
On that note we still need some Villagers. So please keep sending in your lovely children <3
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?
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.
If you want to use this image as a Desktop screensaver or just download it to have a closer look at details;
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.
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.
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!
The world of mobius is a big one. And your adventures will take you to the far corners of the world, undoubtedly meeting many people.
A world that big needs it’s denizens. Does your OC live on Mobius? Then we want to see them!
Here is a list of roles to fill. If your OC happens to fit one or several of them, then feel free to read the rules beneath the cut and apply. <3
We’re casting:
- 10 x female villager (age does not matter) - 10 x male villager (age does not matter) - 3 x Bar visitor (must be of legal drinking age) - 2 x Eggman Staff - 2 x Rich folks (any gender, but must be adults) - 3 x Butler/Maids (any gender, but must be adults) - 1 x Skilled fighter (any gender, but must be an adult) - 1 x Cleric (female)
So in total we’re casting 32 OCs to fill our world with.
Read more for the application rules.
Please note that we can only consider OCs that have been submitted to us correctly.
And lastly: If you do not have an OC yourself, please help us by reblogging this post so more people can see it <3 ~ Thank you.
All the OCs that were picked for the visual novel will be posted to the blog publicly on the 31st of December. That means the 30th of December marks the last day that applications will be accepted.
However, a few of you will know sooner if their OC has been accepted for reasons I cannot yet make public. So some of you will get a private message from us.
!!!UPDATE!!!
We still need:
- 7x Female Villagers
- 7x Male Villagers
- 1x Bar visitor
- 2x Eggman Staff
- 2x Butlers/Maids
Not that there is any rush, of course. But we love seeing your OCs. And We want to see more! <3
