>>750718904>Along the way he introduced the concept of source code control to the studioI'm sorry, what? Version control was not an unknown concept by the 90s, how the fuck did a major video game company not have any version control before that?
>>750719323STI was really incompetent.
>We want the Smiling Friends audience
Prototype THIS
>>750718904>STINo thanks
>>750719452Considering how much of a clusterfuck Mars/X-treme development was...Also Collision Chaos boss but as a whole game with worse physics was not a good idea.

The entire proto is just moving animationless Tails around in a space that reminds me of those isometric hubworlds they have planned for Knuckles Chaotix early on, except even less finished. There's no music in the game. Only programmer art that gets corrupted and apparently boundaries because Tails cannot be moved further.I wonder if there's more stuff in the code that never got used because the game got fucking cancelled.
Apparently this game was also a tie-in to an AoStH episode where Robotnik kidnaps Sonic and imprisons him in a temple that only appears at night, and Tails has to save him. Basically a reverse of picrelKinda want a fangame or a Mania mod inspired by the premise.
What should a Tails game be that would take full advantage of his abilities?

Wish we'd gotten more good Tails spinoffs back in the day, would have been right up my street

>>750724242You're right I'm sorryDidn't slit eyed zipperhead gooks used to just delete their source code after a game shipped to free up space?
