The contest itself has changed in these last 20 years. There are more people making entries than ever before, no matter when they first started playing Sonic. But we also have 3D entries too, on many consoles and PC, and for the last few years, mods based on the Retro Engine Sonic games, with decompilations available and tools in the works, offering another way to mod games, rather than just the traditional 16-bit method. Things have massively changed over these 20 years (and 19 contests), we have gone from binary ROM editing with a hex editor and a few tools, to split disassemblies and bringing more flexibility to game modification. The winner of that first contest in 2002 was Sonic 2 Delta…20 years later, the hack is still going, as Sonic Delta 40mb. Twenty years ago, the Sonic Hacking Contest started, run by Ayla for many years. note: The following is provided by the staff of Sonic Hacking Contest for the year of 2022. That quote that is attributed to Miyamoto, whether he actually said it or not, is still true: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." I was gutted about Metroid Prime 4 being scrapped and completely restarted but in the end the game that eventually comes out should be amazing and an all time classic hopefully.Ed. It's probably the worst sonic game ever released.ĭev crunch time is real and it only hurts the final product, as well as the mental state of the devs themselves. And the sonic 1 port they released at the same time for the GBA was similarly rushed and terrible, and if you can believe it is worse than Sonic 06.
But no they had to meet this dumb arbitrary deadline of the 20th anniversary of sonic or whatever. As bad as sonic 06 was, you can see the potential there, if they were actually allowed to finish the game, it would have been the sonic adventure 3 everybody wanted. The upper level management gave them deadlines that were impossible to meet.
