It's been over a decade since I've released my UT2D map GreenHill for UT3's UT2D mod. I hadn't coded UT2D however being part of the early attempts making big mods being in teams has allowed me to make Green Hill to show off what the modding tools for Unreal Tournament did had the time.
So while I had a chance to show off what a Sonic world would look back in it's 2D form rendered in 3D with custom models and even the sound effects, I do think some at Sega had taken notice. One thing I say to myself is that someitimes I think my map alone helpped inspired games such as Sonic Generations and Sonic Colors. I sometimes brag to myself that I feel like the father of those games, not really true. Apparently Sega always had the right idea from the start rendering worlds in other games. I released my Green Hill themed map in Aug 2008. There was one other game from Sega where they gathered all the characters and compiled them into a game and released a few months eariler.
Sega Superstars Tennis gathered many of the characters and levels from the Sega world and placed them into a video game. So Sonic can face off against other characters like Amigo or Eggman in a tennis match. The characters can activate power-ups to improve their performance of the characters in the game and help them win matches.
So maybe Sega wonders if I got back at that game with my map. The answer is, I hadn't had known. One thing that does get me thinking, how did Sega responded seeing my map. Well there's so many other Sega games that are being maded and loads and loads of Sonic fan made content, so I am asking for alot when I ask that. I must be very special and it is the reason that I've been very quiet for the past 10 years with other projects... but... it doesn't mean that I've quiet down from the mods here. Maybe I will return with something that people may like.
