So, the character Silver originally started off as a mink rather than a hedgehog. From this idea, we pursued the idea of a mink as a new character, which ended up being the prototype of the design we see today. When the team first started this project, and we had no idea what direction we should follow for this new character, someone came up with the idea of a character with Sonic's scarf like hair, but in more volume. Until we came up with the current Silver design, starting with the spines on the head to the design of his shoes.we came up with more than 50 different concepts. We wanted to incorporate features of Sonic with new attributes that no other Sonic characters has. Silver's futuristic features and the mystical capabilities, such as his ability to control objects using his ESP, was one thing we wanted to implement in Silver's design. Silver as a character was created at that point, but it came from the question of what would be possible by incorporating a physics engine within a Sonic game.Īn+early+sketch+of+Silver. This is what makes this title even more exciting. It gives countless ways to clear the game, and players will be able to enjoy the game in their own way, via different situations. For instance, we designed the new character of Silver the hedgehog to have telekinetic powers, which offers a very different gameplay style compared to Sonic's super speed. This new opportunity to provide differing paths compliments the idea of different playable characters with very unique abilities and attributes. While the use of the physics engine gives a lot of depth to the game experience, from the varied gameplay, to the extreme detail implemented in objects and backgrounds, it also allowed us to design huge worlds, featuring multiple paths within each level for players to explore. We implemented the realistic features and the physics engine ideas and brought them to these game systems, within the Sonic franchise. However, when we were assigned to start concepting for the new Sonic game for next generation platforms, we decided to combine these ideas together. This year, the Sonic team introduces Silver the Hedgehog for the new next generation title.īefore the Sonic The Hedgehog team was formed, our development team was considering creating a new game (other than a Sonic game) set in a very realistic world, using the physics engine.
