Very nice! I look forward to see what they'll have in development (hopefully very soon) and that they're still open to working with Sega (and vice versa).
Xbox Game Studios has entered the chatAfter the success of Mania, something tells me that they're going to be scooped up REAL quick
Holy fuck what is that monstrosityYeah, that logo needs a redesign. While obviously not nearly as bad, it has the same "feel" to it as some other Sonic-adjacent logos, which is not a good thing.
If Sega's suits were smarter, they'd buy them out and christen these guys as the new Sonic Team.Well there goes the chances of Sonic Mania 2, unless Sega decides to hire them, but I'm excited to see what they create
Going by the description of what sort of studio Evening Star is on its website, I have my doubts that they'd want to be only making Sonic games forever.If Sega's suits were smarter, they'd buy them out and christen these guys as the new Sonic Team.
I can't believe Sega didn't grab them in some way to make 2D Sonic games forever.
That's actually what I was thinking. In theory, it should be easier to contract them for Sonic Mania 2.These men have my trust, so I'll buy whatever they decide to make next.
In regards to SEGA, them being under one studio might actually make it easier to outsource to now versus contracting everyone individually.

Sonic Retro alerted me that the Evening Star track was also used in the ill-fated prototype Sonic 4 on the Megadrive Sonic Crackers. And we know how the Mania team love their obscure Sonic references. Could this mean Sonic Mania's successor is a true sequel with all-original levels? One can dream.
SXSW will probably confirm if Sega's working with them - and thus may confirm this theory. Guess we'll see then.
Shit Ken Penders, isn't he the dude that tried to sue Sega for the rights to all the shitty characters in the sonic comics? LolYeah, that logo needs a redesign. While obviously not nearly as bad, it has the same "feel" to it as some other Sonic-adjacent logos, which is not a good thing.

Jesus, I can't believe or understand that he won.Successfully sued. He managed to get the rights to his characters and completely kill the Archie Sonic comics, which is why IDW publishes the Sonic comics now.
Guy also tried to sue EA as well but lost.Successfully sued. He managed to get the rights to his characters and completely kill the Archie Sonic comics, which is why IDW publishes the Sonic comics now.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks, what a gigantic fuck up.I can. Archie never copied their contract with Penders & lost the original, so they couldn't refute his bold claims in court. It's that simple.
Thankfully SEGA had enough ammunition on their side to counter his "Evil Sonic is my own original character" claim.
Pictured: Evil Sonic. Also Evil Tails & Evil Sally, plus their "good" counterparts. Robotnik's right, though, I can't tell the difference between the good guys & the bad!
Why does this affect chances of sonic mania 2? Sega hides all these folks for the first one, they certainly aren't all internal sega devs.
Oh look, it's Original the Character.I can. Archie never copied their contract with Penders & lost the original, so they couldn't refute his bold claims in court. It's that simple.

No way that's real.... what is even that abomination...Yeah, that logo needs a redesign. While obviously not nearly as bad, it has the same "feel" to it as some other Sonic-adjacent logos, which is not a good thing.
Anyone know what Simon Thombley/Stealth is doing since he's not a part of this collective? Working on his own game under Headcannon I presume.
The most important part of this news that people aren't processing: Simon Thomley, the father of the Sonic Hacking scene and undisputed king of Sonic knowledge, didn't leave Headcannon for this.
