Fan Made ‘Sonic Utopia’ Game Now Available for Download

Today is a good day for Sonic fans, as a rather impressive fan-made 3D sonic game is shaping up very nicely and the first version is available to download and play. The added bonus being that unlike Nintendo, SEGA seems pretty comfortable with fan-made projects, so this shouldn’t get pulled any time soon.

What’s incredible is that almost everything in the demo was created from scratch, including the art, sound, even the engine! The hard work shows too, as while the game still has a retro vibe, it’s a big 3D landscape full of life, and more in line with the kind of Sonic game I always hoped to see, not the… well I’m you’ve played some of the monstrosities from Sega over the years…

“Sonic Utopia is an experiment that not only tries to expand on Sonic gameplay in an intuitive way in 3D, but also aims to capture the best of Sonic’s style and tie it together in a cohesive experience. Nearly everything in this demo, from art to sound to the gameplay engine, was made from scratch.” said the creators. “I created all of the models, animation, and most of the textures and sound, as well as the music.” they added.

The game is still in a very raw state, but you can try it for yourself here or here. And even more awesome, you can download the music for the game here.
