Sonic songs are now playable on Maimai!! Just cleared them on Advanced with an A+ rating, not bad for my first time! Hehe.
“Some would think we used Motion Capture to animate scenes in Night of the Werehog. At Sega V.E., we actually animate everything by hand. This allows me to express the comical movement of these characters very well, with an emphasis on over-the-top facial expressions in particular.” - Kinoshita

So, a teacher at work was throwing out some “old things from his childhood” and drove up to my car today with all of this!
“I heard you like Sega” he said, then dumped it in my trunk.
Holy shit this has to be the best day of my life.
So I took the afternoon off. Time to play some Japanese Dreamcast!
Today’s morning warmup is a 5 minute sketch of Shadow.
Someone reminded me Sonic Adventure 2 is out on XBLA/PSN soon. I am not looking forward to getting all thsoe A Ranks again a second time..!
Although the Genesis was higher end hardware, at the time it was still not suitable for programming high speed games like I was trying to achieve with Sonic, so we had to try very hard to make it work. When we were developing Sonic, we wanted to take the speed to the limit, so we made it pretty fast and it sometimes made us sick.
