Comment on why make fan games and projects?

Sonic games are the right fan games to make.
2D Sonic games sucked after the Genesis (with the possible exception of the Sonic Advance series), but great fan games were being pumped out.
Some of the leads on those fan games got hired to make Sonic Mania, which is basically the Sonic sequel that Sega fans had been waiting for since the mid-90’s.

funnily enough i never liked how leadlike/weighty sonic felt to me so i never really got into the og and thus never tried mania either.

I think Sonic 1 can feel like that without the spindash, and the level design isn’t great for like half the stages.
It’s all about being able to keep the momentum going, and they get better at designing levels around it with every game. If you’ve only played Sonic 1 but want to try again, skip it and hop into Sonic 2 and 3/Knuckles.
Sonic does play differently to Mario, but if you can give it the time to get that momentum going, you might enjoy it!

1 & 2 play like that, yeah. Maybe I just had a great aftermarket controller by then but s3&k did it right imo
