The Interview[]
Q1: Why have you stopped making fan games?
- A) Because they are fake and I want to create real things lately.
# Q2: Are there any references to past Sonic games or hidden easter eggs in the game’s story or stages?
- A) Other than the villains, no.
# Q3: Were there any films that served as sources of inspiration for the story of Sonic Supremacy? Also, which games, Sonic and non, does Sonic Supremacy borrow elements from?
- A) Not really. Maybe The Dark Knight in terms of Snively's character and the terrorism stuff, or Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End for the climax but to a very small, subconscious degree. The gameplay does borrow some elements from Sonic Unleashed and Bayonetta. I wanted a game where you could experience Sonic's true speed and power. I think those two games combined would make for a crazy gaming experience, very fast and enjoyable. Also, the bosses were inspired by some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards. They have awesome artworks.
# Q4: Tell us a few words about Sonic Unity, the prototype of Sonic Supremacy.
- A) The story was the same, especially the idea of Eggman being caught in the beginning of the game and being held prisoner for the remainder of the story. The gameplay was also the same and the few number of playable characters.
# Q5: What is the main theme that the game tackles?
- A) Loss of faith. And what it takes to become a hero again.
# Q6: What is the meaning of the game’s main theme song When We Were Kings?
- A) I thought of it to match the game's theme of what it takes to become a hero again. It connects kids of with Sonic's days of glory from previous games.
# Q7: A few words about the Final Boss. How difficult is he to beat compared to past Sonic Final Bosses. Also, which song would be most fitting during its battle?
- A) Very difficult because generally final bosses in Sonic games are easy and I would like a fierce battle for once. Also, the heroes are not in their super forms, so it is natural to assume it would be a difficult fight. For the music I'd say "Playing with Fire" by Juno Reactor for Phase I and "Hide" by Red for Phase II.
# Q8: What was your response to all those fans and critics who criticized negatively the game?
- A) Slander. Pure slander. (To be honest, looking it now after 3 years, the story looks silly and basic to me, so they were right *sob sob*).
# Q9: Is there anything in the game’s story that is left ambiguous or unexplained or is left to the player’s interpretation?
- A) Eggman's alliance.
# Q10: Does Sonic Supremacy promote mass civilian and Presidential terrorism to children?
- A) Of course.
