Early Askcess: Getting Back To It

Wow, it's almost been a whole month since I wrote one of these? The issue at hand is that I want to have enough posts to make one of these worth while, but I kind of got trapped in a cycle of only queuing up 1-2 posts at a time, and usually in the minutes before going to bed. Not really enough to write a post about, and when you queue a post about 4-6 hours before it goes up, not really enough time to make early access feel worth it, I guess. But I went digging and answered (more than) a week's worth of posts this time, so let's get into it.


clovershroom asked: There's two videos I want you to look at from Moon Channel.  One focuses on why Nintendo is very protective of their Intellectual Property, and a follow up as to why Sega isn't as overprotective about it (At least in regards to Sonic).  They're very informative.

Anonymous asked: Thought on Sage (the charachter)? I would like her cause its kinda a funny dynamic and idea, but idk, maybe I'm just paranoid, but with child charachters in japanese media I allways have that bad feeling that they are designed by and for people who shouldnt go near primary schools

melcodriggs asked: How do you feel about Metal Sonic's voice in Sonic Heroes? Not necessarily the writing quality but the voice itself being tied to the character? (Though naturally one may affect the other.)

melcodriggs asked: Would it be worth doing a story about Amy Rose's past toxic behavior? Like her sort of wrestling with guilt, maybe talking to a few characters about it and coming to terms?

Anonymous asked: Any part of the sonic franchise or fandom that you don't really care about? https://blazehedgehog.tumblr.com/private/709163916037652480/tumblr_rq165wEB4D1rr2g16


Anonymous asked: Why did Sonic Adventure introduce the springs that have 3 stars instead of one? Was it just to give the player a larger hitbox to homing attack on? Or were there other reasons for its existence? Otherwise, it seems kinda odd to design a new asset that serves the same purpose as your already existing asset.

Generally speaking I only post links because sometimes in the run-up to these getting posted, I might add or change things about the posts. Ergo, visiting the link is the only way to make sure what you're reading is the most up-to-date version of the post without me having to constantly also edit things here on Patreon. Once a post goes live, the link stops working. Publishing dates are also subject to change if I move things around.

You can submit an ask here, though tumblr is picky about it now and forces you to have a login.
