What are your expectations for the next Sonic title? Sonic Frontiers appears to be the name that's being chosen for this game, maybe? Could be? Idk, but it has a lot of people talking and since we have no additional trailers to go off of, I took inspiration from the many fanarts and fan covers folks have made and did a mock/fan-trailer based on the supposed info we have about the game! I particularly had a lot of fun working with the title that my good friend Flora-Tea created, that for me ties this whole thing together!

![[SFM] Silver and Rouge change the Ultimate Objective
Well hello there! This animation was inspired by Shadow759s wacky sentence mixed Tikal video so heres one of my own, every line of dialogue is pulled from random lines of Sonic 06 and it was quite fun to work on this, I hope you all enjoy and are very confused XD

![[SFM] The Unifier: Part 4
After what became a year of Hiatus, the Unifier finally returns! Starting off I want to say that I apologize to anyone who was looking forward to this for the long wait, and any who waited on this for so long, I hope this makes it worth it ^^ It wont take another year to get the next one in, a lot of things and issues came up last year that are resolved and tied up, so now I have a clear goal to have the series continue with the next part coming out every other month, lets hope. I also want to give a big thanks to Spikey Belmont and UltimateHedgehog123 for their voice work here, and my friend and partner to this channel, Flora-Tea for her superb work in after effects for this episode!

![[Audio Drama] Freedom Planet: Echoes Entry 5
The remaining entries for Ethel are on the way! In this part we start to see the scope of their experiment, continuing Ethels enthusiasm for how things are proceeding. Surely this can only end well, right? Also tried out a slightly different format for this one, with it mostly made in Source Filmmaker rather than static renders, hope this change is a good one ^^

![[SFM] Dance Break
Took a quick break from some bigger stuff to make this short thing, again sorry for few uploads. Unifier will be getting along as well, but Ive been contemplating streaming some of the work on it, so you can see the work behind it all. What do you say?

![[SFM] Shadows Limit Break - Chaos Torrent
Special thanks to Shadow759 for voicing this! I had recently finished Super Mario RPG and felt the urge to make some cool flashy special attack. So heres my concept idea of a limit break for Shadow the Hedgehog, calling it Chaos Torrent. Its basically just a fancy animation version of his chaos spears XD What do you all think?

![[SFM] W U M P A
Hey guess what, this animation is still relevant XD Made this a good while ago as a short like 2 second clip, too short to be a video but thought Id share it with you today on a bit of a playback. As the text said, this short animation was born from when the Crash Twitter account started posting an hourly Wumpa meme with no real context, and much to a lot of peoples frustration. Personally I dont mind that theyre teasing Wumpa League and havent given much else, its probably going to be the last major Crash thing for a good long while so knowing that something is coming works for me. Plus its only been a year now since Crash 4 so I think were still doing fine here. Yes the shadow breaks the loop, an oversight from long ago Im afraid

![[SFM] Ben Schwartz as Metal Sonic pt 2
Recovered this older animation of mine from my files and finished it up, a part 2 to my Ben Schwartz as Metal Sonic video! This was pretty fun to do as this time around I presented Metal Sonic through different Sonic titles, including one he wasnt even in XD Just like before, these clips are taken from his droid role in an episode of Star Wars the Bad Batch! Had enough for a part 2 and so here we are, enjoy it!

![[SFM] Shadow Enters Multiversus
Any chance for Shadow being in Smash in an official capacity is over, or at least as far as we can see right now. But there is still another platform fighter out there that may give him all the options he could ever ask for XD Thanks to Shadow759 for being down with this silly idea!
