Sonic Network World

An Early Alpha Fan-Game MMO With an Interesting Design Premise

The 2D side-scrolling MMO has been tried to varying degrees of success over the past two decades, with MapleStory being the most successful. Most suffer from being rather slow-paced and grindy or if faster-paced, being plagued by input lag. Popular figures like Mario and Sonic have been absent from the MMO space. This fan game seeks to turn classic Sega Genesis-era Sonic gameplay into a massively multiplayer experience.

There are only a few levels so far, and many textures are missing. Leveling and other features are absent as well. You can go to the lobby, chat, and play through the levels with others as-is though, so Sonic fans will at least have a bit of fun playing through what has been created thus far.

Hopefully this project succeeds. If you want to help, you can check out the game and join their Discord at: https://gamejolt.com/games/snw/428114
