Lets talk about: Future project(s)

So, the other night, I was watching a DemoDisk video by Funhaus, and I saw them featuring a Shadow the Hedgehog trailer. After watching a short 4 - 5 seconds clip of the trailer, I thought to myself, why not give the Sonic universe, a good name. I mean, I've always heard that Mario was a big hit, and that he was so much better than Sonic. But I thought differently, I always preferred Sonic. And then, it occurred to me, why not make a free-roam Sonic game? Where you can customize your own characters, it follows the lore of the Sonic universe. Imagine The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but the Sonic universe. I conferred with my friends and colleagues, and most, if not, all of them said that it would be a good idea. And they were all really familiar with the lore and the whole universe. 

Some of you, who are reading this post who knows and likes the Sonic universe, would like to see a game where you can play as Sonic, where you don't have to run in a linear path just to collect coins and to destroy Dr. Eggman and his evil contraptions. Imagine a game like Shadow the Hedgehog but instead of expecting linear game play and story telling, there would be a more elaborate story line, and a bigger map where you can conduct your missions and whatnot. It would be great, right? Reasons like these give me the inspiration to be a game developer, where I can develop a game where I think people would enjoy. Bringing something new in the industry or the indie market.

Some of you are wondering or saying that I might be a bit too ambitious with this idea in my head. I mean, making a game this big would take years and years of development. Not only that, but I will have to buy the license of Sonic, off of SEGA or whoever owns Sonic and anything else which is affiliated with him and the lore. But then again, it is just an idea, a future project, or maybe even a little side project after I graduate or in-between my trimesters, who knows? But what I do know is that I have some people who are willing to give it a try, and it won't hurt to give it a try, am I right?
