I don't think people realize how different the atmosphere is of working on a fan project on your own compared to making it for another company, there's a lot more factors when working with someone like Sega, ie budget, deadlines, asking what can/can't be done, etc. Sonic Fans COULD cook something peak officially but it is not as easy as "SEGA HIRE THIS MAN"

[MrSandwich]

I'm down for Sega to work with fans more, but under no circumstances do I think they should ever get their hands on fan games. Fan games THRIVE because they pretty much get to do whatever they want. There are no deadlines, no corporate overlords forcing bizarre changes, and generally the freedom to do whatever you want with the Sonic universe. Games like P06, Sonic and the Fallen Star, and so many others wouldn't exist as they currently do if Sega had complete control over them and sold them as official products.

Fans working on sonic games preferably 3D can be amazing.

[Kango]

Honestly, I just wished they did more stuff like Murder of Sonic or more smaller games that has more of the Sonic cast in it.

[TheDamienofAllTime]

C-Stick? That's really small fedal, like REALLY small. Ouch.

[TheComicNerd]

I think with level design or animations then definitely! The amount of passion fans have with sonic is next level!

[YozoraKuroboshi]

By investing into fan projects Sega locks in their motto of Sega does what Nintendon't. By investing into their fans creativity, they can help incentive peoples into doing more creative projects and can pave the way to future creators in the game industry. Plus I think they should do something similar to Hoyoverse by having the Hoyofair events to publicize some creative talents and attract more people's attention.

SEGA REALLY needs to make Sonic Triple Trouble 16-Bit an official Sonic game now.

[Astralstrz]

YES. No full answer, JUST YES. LET THEM COOK

[JonyPlayz]

Imagine the vision, with what already exists like Project 06 or something that combines a lot of ideas. The possibilities are endless

[alenwithmusic]

The official Roblox game, Sonic Speed Simulator actually has fans working on it. Nibroc is the head of the project now.

So SEGA working with fans isn't farfetched at all.

[KookieStar]

Bro literally took the words out of my mouth. That's exactly what I've been thinking while seeing all these amazing fan projects float around.

And yeah, just because 1 or 2 people made mistakes it doesn't mean the entire community is bad. There's always a good side in every part of something.

Thanks for this one, chief ❤

I feel when it comes to side projects or spin-offs there’s no real harm in hiring talented fans and giving them more resources to create something for them. It’ll help pad out the wait time while Sonic Team themselves cook with the main stuff.

[jonasonic]

When it comes to stuff like this, I think it would be great but I really do want to see the main team cook by themselves to show that they can capture the same magic they did back then.

[rubydragoon]

This Video coming out after seeing Gmod got hit by Nintendo's Ban Hammer😖
I wouldn't mind the idea at all HOWEVER, they do need to be careful with who they pick up.

[socheata]

It would be nice to improve games, if they’re modders in my opinion.

[LSC]

We need a evening star type team to help with 3d games

[patrickquinones]

Depends who they work trust me i hope that Sega would never work with the omens team with the "maria file" and monetary and gameplay controversy

[megadaddy]

Hear Me Out
A sonic Game called
Sonic FanFare
A Complication of Sonic FANGAMES And Newer one get added while some Sonic FANGAMES get Updated

[RedditorGogeta]

I don't think Sega should fund these fan-projects from the beginning, cuz if they do these projects will be under Sega's control somehow.

Instead I think they should make a contest of some sort with different categories (games, music, animation, etc.), where only *completed* fan projects can be nominated, and the winner gets a load of cash with their product becoming official, and the people who didn't win can get nominated again.

This way the fans will get to complete their vision without any outside influence and they will be rewarded nicely once it's done.
