Next up in my SAGE 2020 coverage is a fan game that has been getting a lot of attention this year. It's Sonic GT! Believe it or not, Sonic GT's SAGE appearance is not just as a demo. It's the final release, a full version of the game. The game has "4 huge levels, more than 3 unique characters, a...
The first SAGE 2020 game I'm covering for SFGHQ is none other than Sonic Galactic! Sonic Galactic is a "2D Fan-game inspired by the Classics". The game features new sprites, new levels and zones, as well as a new character. Speaking of the characters, there are 5 of them that are playable...
Just as a quick reminder before reading this article. The 20th Anniversary SAGE Expo event is going to begin on September 5th! That is this Saturday! As a warm-up before the festivities begin, I wanted to go back to a fangame, or in this case, a ROM-Hack of Sonic The Hedgehog 1, that holds a...
Being a part of the Sonic Fangame scene for a very long time, I have played and looked upon a lot of projects in my trek through finding things that interest me. Now, there has been a lot of 2D "classic" styled fangames that emulate the experience the old Genesis games put on the forefront. But...
I wrote about my favorite mod as of late last week. Now it's time for me to write about my favorite fan game as of late. That is none other than...
...Yep, surprise surprise. Now, there's not as much I can say about this as I could with Chao World Extended, but that doesn't make this fan game...
Don't worry, I know what you're thinking already
"Sonic R, that crazy Saturn game with the weird music and tank controls? How could anyone attempt to back the quality of THAT?"
fact of the matter is, this article isn't here to defend Sonic R's faults or devalue any form of critique against it...
My first ever article for Sonic Fan Games HQ involves what I feel is my most favorite 3D Sonic mod that's available. That is, of course, Chao World Extended.
Chao World Extended, managed by DarkyBenji, Exant, mindacos and ChaoGardenBuster, is exactly what the name implies. It expands Sonic...
SAGE is coming up soon! As a developer that’s submitted to SAGE multiple times, I’d like to give you some healthy tips that should help you have a good SAGE.
#1- Don’t be intimidated!
(THIS IS NOT THE MIDDLE-SCHOOL LUNCH TABLE)
Don’t curl up in the corner fearing like you’re game “isn’t good...
Yeah, you read the title. And look at me, making a thinkpiece like I'm some great reporter or something.(I'm really not!)
We're past halfway into 2020, and it's bleak: We've had to deal with mass unrest and a planet-wide pandemic that's made everyone irritable, agitated and/or fed up with the...

I've been asked for a while to turn one of my videos into an article for SFGHQ. I feel like a lot of folks in this community have likely seen it in some capacity already, but in case you like to read instead of hear my voice, here goes:
If you frequent forums, Discords, and other areas of...

There's this big notion that goes around that cheating is always a bad thing. Let me start by telling you that, as long as you don't cheat others or yourself, it isn't. Cheating is, in a lot of ways, merely a way of getting quicker and sometimes...
Another great hit from this year's SAGE was the indie project Open Surge by brazilian developer @Alexandre Martins creator of the fan favorite project Neo Sonic Universe.
Open Surge is, at the same time, a level editor similar to Mario Maker, a platformer game like Sonic and a powerful...
SAGE 2019's line up of indie games has been a welcome addition to the event. One such game making the rounds with a lot of fanfare is Pizza Tower, an aesthetically wild platformer carrying the spirit of the Wario Land games. The lead developer, known simply as Pizza Tower Guy, put together a...
The latest line up of games at this year's SAGE has seen an astonishing number of indie titles. Not least among them is a small demo called Vertebreaker, headed by Sonic Mania's own Stealth.
Vertebreaker shares a team with the Sonic Chaos re-imagining which we saw at last year's SAGE, with...
