Yeah but the fact he name dropped Tangle and Sticks in Frontiers kinda gives me power move vibes.
They're still just names.
Tangle was playable in Sonic Forces and Sonic Dash. Made by SEGA HARDLight, though Ian is most likely involved.
But Sticks appeared and playable in story mode of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, a game made by Sonic Team themselves, and Ian definitely is not involved here.
I want to play it when it's a full game.
Might have to wait for months. It won't be finished soon.
I do hope we get more Sonic visual novel puzzle games.
If there will be one, I doubt it will be as famous as Murder if it isn't free.
