A while ago, we set out to finally add Hidden Palace to Sonic 2 Absolute. This was our plan:

A pathway would be hidden, and be accessible upon certain achievements being reached, This would lead to the version of Hidden Palace from the old beta files, and at the end of it would be a boss. This boss would be unique, and test specific skills with Super Sonic. On defeat of this boss, the player would see a cutscene, and Hyper abilities would be unlocked.

This was an idea I was personally passionate about, but ultimately it has been very slow and has burned out the team and halted any other development on our projects. With that in mind the idea has been canned. This is a disappointment for a lot of us but we have to consider the ongoing health of the projects.

I want to implement this idea, and some form of it (without the boss fight) will appear eventually. However, as burned out as we are, we cannot guarantee to keep up active development. For this reason, Sonic 1 Forever and Sonic 2 Absolute are now on Github in their current development state. The projects can be forked, viewed, and contributed to here. We will review pull requests as they come in to prevent the projects becoming silly.

I am sorry that we have been quiet for so long. Hopefully this will change in the coming weeks.

Given we only have 48 followers on here, does that mean I can get away with posting Hidden Palace spoilers here where only die-hards will see them?

Hi are you a Sonic fan? Wondering if you ever draw sonic stuff 👀

Yes I am!!

I grew up playing sonic games and although I don’t play much anymore I’m still a fan of the art and music. As for art I made gijiinkas I draw pretty often in my free time, but never good enough to post haha
