Sonic Galactic's Birthday Celebration! 5 Years of Active Development!

Happy Birthday Sonic Galactic! Here's a video celebrating and showing all our years of gradual change and development to the project! Slowly but surely, we've watched this project evolve into what you all see nowadays. It took us such a long time to reach that point, but that's what game development is all about. Celebrate these memories with us as we go through all this history!

Delighted to see you guys implementing the one feature Competition Mode needed most: bullying

[@FulsomeFrog]

Seeing how far this project has come is honestly just quite incredible, keep up the good work!

[@sonicgalactic7336]

Thank you, we will!

[@sonicgalactic7336]

It's Sonic Galactic, and we try our best to make it cool!

[@Steelwaterfall1]

Me, eternally kicking myself for not learning pixel art years ago so I could be a part of something this magnificent. I need a tutor I swear, hope to one day reach the level of quality as seen in this video, damn fine job folks!

[@sonicgalactic7336]

You will, we're sure it! Thank you!

[@Hey_Childish]

I love how you and everyone else in the sonic fa game community continue to make 2D despite the mass majority liking only 3D titles. You’ve nailed the early 90’s vibe of the original games from the aesthetic right down to the new Jack swing/ Teddy Riley music. I look forward to playing the finished product cause I’m in love with that demo you guys released.

KNUCKLES GLIDE KEEPS HIS MOMENTUM!? THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD

[@pincheraton53X]

KZbin recommended this video to me, and it looks really beautiful

[@fnsiii7975]

This looks incredibly fun! I am loving Sonic’s wall spin-dash and I really appreciate how Knuckles keeps his forward momentum when going from high speeds into his glide ( that last one might be misremembering how it felt to do so in the Genesis games lol ). I’m also really digging the level mechanics they seem to keep you on the move while putting a spin on the “momentum/slope physics/bouncy” nature of 2D Sonic like the bomb Knuckles launched with a spin dash or how Sonic hit that vine whip and it launched him back to jump into another that launched him forwards really cool stuff. Thanks for all your guys’ hard work. Also thank you for linking the song you used in the video it absolutely slaps.

[@aortaplatinum]

Holy shit, no wonder it's so gorgeous and polished, 5 frickin years my god man That's commitment, that's love

So much heart and soul. You guys are amazing and deserve every ounce of praise. Thank you for giving me more reasons to get excited for the future ☺️

[@jenngra505]

Seeing how long it took for you to get from a placeholder-laden physics demo to one zone's worth of content gives me hope for my fangame that's currently in the physics demo stage. Keep up the great work!

[@Tyree42069]

Yknow I always wondered how the sage 2020 trailer excited me just as much as manias trailer. Now seeing as development started in the same year as manias outing I can see why. Happy birthday galactic and I hope more great things come out of this beautiful fan game. I swear sonic fans really know how to make amazing things Also this is like a trailer in it of itself lmao. Maybe the 2022 stuff was shown on Twitter but I haven’t heard anything from this in a while since I don’t use Twitter that much. Amazing how this is still going strong

[@oghene2778]

As a fellow fangame maker, I cannot wait for sonic to come out!

[@al_7365]

Absolutely beautiful

[@ZENTRIX9]

I love this fangame because of the sprites and the music, the color, the new mechanics, it's a work of art, but it's a shame that it's only for PC and not for mobile phones, but I still love it very much and great work, I congratulate you

[@TrueDeVo64]

Hmm funny. I went to the beach today, so I guess I went to Verdant Isle Zone. 5 years of development and it was a new experience for me when I played the Demo. Keep up the good work boy and girl devs

[@reneorozco5204]

Este parece que va a ser un fangame bastante unico y el ver cuanto tiempo le han dedicado es admirable sigan asi y aqui espero la próxima demo

[@Appernix]

I hope that when this game releases it will have the same reputation as "Sonic Triple Trouble: 16-Bit" & "Sonic and The Fallen Star". I.e. it will be considered one of the best fangames out there, almost comparable to an official product.

[@arriettylunaris]

Honestly loving how much it has evolved. I am absolutely excited for its future. Great job on it all

[@francoalmiron5107]

Where would you guys say Galactic goes in the Sonic timeline? Seems to be at least after Triple Trouble, but do you guys see it as after Mania or before/after some specific Saturn title?

[@anthonyfellows390]

I would love to see some sort of compilation pack released for consoles with these mega polished fan games, Galactic, Triple Trouble 16bit etc. Now i know i know these fan games arnt in anyway shape or form backed by Sega, but seeing how Mania came to be after Christian Whitehead flexed his skills with the ports of previous games, i am optimistic that these fan games will get the official attention they deserve. I for one would pay money for these games day 1. I have Mania on every console and PC just to support the Sonic Devs and its community and id do the same for these games.

omg those 4:3 borders please tell me i can use them outside of competition mode

You cannot, and they aren't 4:3 ratio either! That was a specific idea we did to remove split screen stretching, and to fill in the extra black spaces when we got the right ratio. Apologies!

And 4: When there's a transition, like when you're about to fight a boss, the hub should disappear so it give that feeling of watching a mini cutscene.
