Project Nightlight
A while ago, a certain piece of fanart by @KornArt gained incredible fame among the Sonic the Hedgehog community, imagining an era in the far future, taken over and oppressed by Dr. Eggman’s AI daughter, Sage. A future where the only hero left is the lone, cloaked, Silver the Hedgehog.
Fans exploded with ideas and love for this idea, ranging from fan art to fan animations to even fan games. It was the latter that I decided to contribute to, with my own idea as to what a ‘Silver the Hedgehog’ game could look like.
‘Project Nightlight’ as I’m calling it is very early in development, and I don’t know how far I’ll go with this idea… but I picture a Silver game focused on aerial combo-based combat featuring environmental combat and slower floatier platforming compared to your typical Sonic adventure.

CHARACTERS
Silver the Hedgehog
A young psychic hedgehog, inspired by the legends of heroes like Sonic who fought Dr. Eggman decades ago. He’s come to the Egg City Dome to find the heart of the Empire’s operations, and destroy the mysterious AI running the operation: Sage.
He doesn’t have much of a plan, or any experience with rebellion, but he has a dream that one day, Mobians will once more live as free as the wind, like the legendary hero of old.
