I've been drawing busy so much lately, storyboarding away! Here's a bunch of "Phantom Sonics" I had to design!
Progress is going well on this one. It's actually turned out a bit bigger than I was expecting initially! We really wanna push the horror theme with this one, so I've been dedicating a lot of the run time to building suspense and punctuating the scary moments. Hopefully it comes across really cool and genuine!
This week we're probably gonna have to make character model drawings for all these different Sonics to supply to the animator(s). That's gonna be a lot. There's so many of them here! I was thinking about it, and this one is sort of a superficial successor to Sonic Clone Chaos in that sense. This video is 99% Sonic talking to himself. I say "superficial" though since in the actual execution of the idea I reckon it will not be very similar to Clone Chaos whatsoever.
I hope it can be a bit of a fun game for viewers to imagine the specific ways each of the background Sonics died. I wanted most of the deaths to be grounded in something related to Sonic gameplay, so think of that when you look at them!
When is this one coming out? Not sure. It'll be next year, definitely, probably around when Floweratouille came out? I imagine this one will take quite a lot more effort to put together, from the world design to the big crowds of characters and overall length. It's something the people at Mashed have a lot of faith and excitement for, so I think that's just led to it growing in scope. Exciting! But daunting. I hope you look forward to it, though!
