It is always interesting to know the origins of something and today we bring you one more example of this. It relates specifically to sonic and how he came to be a hedgehog.
As we have learned, the designer and co-creator of Sonic, naoto ohshima, has shared a tweet “with concept art from the time before the ideas of Sonic were cemented.” He shows what the original game was called Twin Stars, where two twin brothers were the protagonists and had to protect the world. This idea derived Sonic, with great differences between the villains and minions.
Here are the images posted on Twitter:
I made a draft of the game. An action game about twin brothers who protect the dream world from Nightmare World’s boss “Thirteen”. It evolved into Sonic.
