1. I know this, but this area states that you may talk about anything within the rules, and due to this forum breaking the rules of the fangame discussion area, this is the only place I can talk about it.
2.The Critics wanted more from the original one, less annoying music, better storyline, more original, so I'm making the first Sonic Shuffle Fangame, that fixes all the Critics Issues. My game does NOT play like a Mario party game, you can compare my game and the dreamcast game as a Husky and German Sheppard. Sheppards are big and tough and mean, while huskys are smaller and act totally different(mostly hyper and cute and happy), while they still look the same in a few ways.(did that make any sense?)
3.I totally agree with you that nobody should really care, but I made this because I wanted to give info out before I get a demo out.(my intention was to get a bit of info out once or twice a day, until my demo was finished)
