I'm in a good mood in a good way. I'm happy for Frontiersso far...but I'm also having a bit of schadenfreude.

Spoilers but Super Sonic is very cool during boss fights. I mean finishing off the Knight with it's own blade? Very badass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrT9J7QJVms

Do we have a thread for fanworks? I've got something I want to show off, but I want to do it in the appropriate channel.

"it" being a timeline I've worked on for most of a year and planned to release today, for clarity's sake.

It also depends if you're trying to gather talk about your theory, in which case this thread is fine(though it may be flooded with Frontier talk in general, so it may get lost).

It's unfortunate we don't have a very clear thread for your situation, but "general fanworks" tend to be talked about in a general thread for a work/franchise/series(whatever terms you find most logical in this context) these days.

There's also a Shameless Self Promotion thread, but that feels more like light advertising than trying for critiques. What's your main goal? To share and discuss? Looking for critiques? Just generally share?

A few days ago, I had a dream where Sonic Frontiers was released and the average critic score was 75. Hopefully, that dream will turn out to be accurate.

It’s a good start at least. Now they just need to stay committed to building on it with later games.

Yeah, it's unsurpising that there'd be a few flaws when going in a new direction for the first time, but hopefully Sega will improve upon what worked and only get rid of what didn't, rather than throwing away absolutely everything like they have a history of doing.
