Sonic Freedom SAGE 2020: Beautiful 2D Fangame

This video showcases the Sonic Freedom SAGE 2020 demo. This Sonic Fangame is hand drawn and it looks outstanding. Sonic also controls fluidly. You must explore the level with Sonic's blistering speeds until you find the Master Emerald chard.

the Sonic CD intro cutscene: playable edition

basically. xD

@Speedy V. the mod was co created by Triplejaz who also co created this game/demo

[@sonicovertime]

I love the hand drawn style so much. It gives the sense of 3D even though it's 2D.

[@blasphemous24]

Sonic Overtime would be cool if a Sonic 1-3 were remade as a fan game in this art style

[@BlackerSpaniel]

I know, right? It reminds me of Skullgirls

[@Eman02kG]

[@DASH596]

Yeah, and most of the 3d ones are demos or showcases using other's engines

@@DASH596 you're right,there are games from 2015 that are in demo

[@corel7966]

i don't know why everytime people see this they bring up the level design as if it's an actual level i always saw this more as a playground for sonic's physics and abilities anyways it's cool that there's a playable demo now i heard progress would be halted indefinitely because the programmer left the team

[@stanmarsh8032]

This is absolutely amazing, like seriously... Do these people even realize how talented they are?!

[@silverguy526]

Since Sonic CD's intro I always wanted a Classic game like this. It looks much better than the pixel art style

[@sonicovertime]

Definitely agree!

[@starkotletka8655]

And better than modern 3d sonic. I love sonic CD's intro style so much too.

[@caidonnelly3942]

Keep In Mind This was made with UNITY

[@KennKuun]

I didn't see any particularly interesting level design, but the aesthetic is insanely well done, and the physics look very polished. The game looks slower and more zoomed out than normal Classic games, which I actually appreciate; the extremely limited time to react to what's coming keeps me from appreciating Classic Sonic's gameplay. I honestly think this game could pursue its own identity and put its focus on Sonic's moveset rather than momentum physics (or focus on both), and it would rival some indie games that have an actual price tag. It may not be what they're going for, but this project gives me extreme Metroidvania vibes. And I absolutely think it could work; upgrades and backtracking were already a core part of SA1 and SA2. EDIT: reworded for clarity

[@Eman02kG]

I wish he was faster

[@shady5595]

You _do_ know they can't use Sonic's IP for monetary gain right? So, why are you talking about putting a "price-tag" on this?

[@KennKuun]

@@shady5595 I do know that. I guess my wording may have been ambiguous, but I was not trying to say that they should put a price tag on it. I was saying that this fan game looks as good as some games that have a price tag.

[@shady5595]

@@KennKuun Well, you're definitely right in that regard

[@b.a.g-gomez2610]

Saw this game a few times, including when it was pencil sketches. Such a beautifully animated game, but Sonic's movement and physics looked sluggish. Happy to see those aspects improved and sped up!

[@Simon_Electric]

Sonic fans do what Sega don't

[@schlydops6352]

At least sega gives their fans an opportunity to make sonic better, Nintendo would instantly ban the game if it was Mario or Pokémon

[@robloxking2578]

This is amazing! It's like a Sonic version of Rayman Origins and Legends.

[@knuckt.k.9456]

OH YEA!

[@chaos8755]

I can imagine this for a mobile game, I don't know why but I keep thinking about that

[@austinmorrison6953]

This hand drawn style is beautiful! The animations are so smooth and changing direction mid air works so well. I look foreword to seeing more of this!

[@CritStanley]

Missed opportunity for "anniversary mode" in Sonic Origins looking like this.

[@akdgaming9491]

This gives me the CupHead feeling with the Sonic CD intro

[@sodaddict]

This is what it must look like for Ubisoft or Lab Zero to make a Sonic game

[@NinXuS]

[@derekday3896]

Sonic CD intro will always be peak. I've always thought they should make a game that used sprite work like this! The best part of this art style is that it isn't too busy and its easy to tell where enemies and obstacles are.

[@sophiliamajestign9303]

If Sega was smart, they'd buy this

[@rdev3720]

recently I was imagining what should sonic mania 2 be like and somehow this is literally 1 for 1 what i imagined. Its like the game dev read my mind.

[@frinlsonthefriendly]

Good overtime video, really the creator of this game seemed that his design is very good, so this fangame looks more animated by tripplejaz and the rest ^^

[@sombramistica]

This looks better than Frontiers gameplay

[@alecperdeau650]

I wish Sega would license this game. Its so beautifully done and you can feel the love radiating from it. And so much more original too with the ring spending for air dashing. I'd love to see this made available for everyone

[@Jamsawin]

i would like it to be called sonic freedom ages 2020

[@stevenapex]

Beautiful art style. This is exactly what I want a next-generation 2D Sonic game to be. So much potential here with the smooth animation style. You could present anything and go literally almost anywhere without being held back by pixel art or bad 3D. Great work.

[@DASH596]

I mean, taking away the style and graphics, is pretty much bland. Is like this was only to be shown as a ''Look guys, look! this Sonic fangame is like hand drawn'' which are pretty well done, but... That's basically it. Gameplay and level design are bland.

[@maximumviews5759]

I think they are onto somethin tho. Even tho the level design sucks, the gameplay is very smooth and adds a unique kinda double jump thats aimable. The style fits very well. Nothing against a 3d sonic, i feel its never looked as good as regular sonic and i adored sonic mania. So i feel personally if sega took a direction like this with sonic, id be hyped.

[@DASH596]

@Marcus _ I mean, is nothing out of the ordinary honestly. The ''aimable'' double jump is an interesting idea, but it stops you, losing the momentum, and not gaining that much after launching it. But other than that, just standard stuff. Granted, I don't know why I said ''gameplay was bland'' back then.

[@juansan2406]

@@DASH596 It’s....not really a level, it’s more of a testing ground

[@DASH596]

@@juansan2406 Yeah, but still

[@AeridesEntertainment]

@@DASH596 What do you mean, "but still"? If it's a testing ground to demonstrate how the moveset works, then it's not actually a level; therefore, criticizing a testing ground for "level design" is pedantic and foolish. It's like saying the beta testing level in Sonic Adventure 2 that you can access via glitches has bad level design - it's not designed to be a level, so why does it matter?

Sonic CD Intro @ Sonic Mania Intro Inspired animation w/ new mechanics for sonic to handle him and the world around him in an all new an exciting way!!! Definitely this goes into the list of amazing sonic games: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic CD Sonic Rush Sonic Unleashed Sonic Generations Sonic Mania Sonic Omen Sonic Freedom

[@raythepony]

This looks great, but I don't like the obscurity of the end of stage goal.

[@Resvrgam]

I wish someone would merge all these games into a single SAGE Sonic Fan Game MegaMix. This way, instead of just playing 1-4 levels and the game just ends, you can have a patchwork experience that satisfyingly concludes and feels like a full game.

[@SonicSynergy]

Very niceu!

[@CHRIS-X]

If I’m not mistaken the original sonic mania team not only wanted to keep the pixel art from mania but also wanted to make it something akin to this kind of handrawn art From Wikipedia tho don’t @ me

[@MrSupersonic2012]

God this is amazing. What I think is the best part is seeing the aerial spindash. Giving Sonic that move opens up so many possibilities, it's even better than the homing attack since you actually have to aim to use it. It's great for fighting enemies off the ground and can make for some unique platforming moments.

[@TGVBT640]

the levels look a bit empty, but other than that this looks PHENOMENAL (i don't care if i'm 3 years late shut up)

[@intelligent959]

Tbh this should have replaced sonic superstars but instead of Toei sonic it’s modern sonic and the game would be animated like this game and it would be 4 player. And you could play as any sonic character. Like shadow, rouge, Espio, vector, silver, and all the mainline sonic characters. Who likes my idea?

Not sure what to think about Sonic's new jump powers. I mean it's an interesting idea, but if he can boost his jump endlessly, then he's basically flying. I don't really like the idea of a flying Sonic.

[@teneesh3376]

This game looks fantastic. But the level design looks meh. It is more based on platforming than speed. Or building momentum. Which was why the og sonic games were so fun to me. But I am a huge sucker for 2d hand drawn animation
