However, despite the difficulties, Gamefam and Sega of America seem pleased with the final product. Not to mention the developer had to do all of that while working within the technical limitations of the Roblox Studio engine.

While Roblox is designed to be easy to use, the developers of Sonic Speed Simulator had to balance the expectations that fans have for both a Roblox game and an AAA Sonic title. Developers also intend to introduce new content like Bosses and a fifth level in an update somewhere down the road.Īccording to developers, the Roblox platform itself posed a significant challenge to the game’s development. Doing so allows them to increase the character’s speed, letting players dash across the landscape at greater and greater velocity. It also adds RPG elements to the Sonic universe, letting players level up their characters by traveling long distances and collecting items such as Chaos Orbs. Players can experience the game using either their Roblox avatars or Sonic and his friends. The open-world multiplayer game lets players zoom across four different areas inspired by classic Sonic levels such as the Green Hill Zone. Sonic Speed Simulators comes about a week after Sonic the Hedgehog 2 hit theaters on April 8th.

Sega of America partnered with indie Roblox developer Gamefam to create an officially licensed Sonic the Hedgehog game on the platform.

However, that doesn’t mean that games from AAA franchises never find their way to the Roblox platform. It boasts a vast and diverse library of games by independent creators who otherwise wouldn’t be able to get their work out there. Roblox is a platform that allows users to design and program their own games with no prior experience.
