Sonic Gaiden may be on hiatus, but there's still many assets that were never revealed to the general public! I've been given permission to share a variety of unreleased, unfinished, and even scrapped versions of various songs and jingles that I have created for the mod!
----------------------------
The final unreleased track I have for Sonic Gaiden.
This is a tentative boss and character theme for a would-be 3rd party enemy for Sonic to face- a mysterious, robotic assassin hired to bring Sonic in dead or alive.
The concept notes I was given for this boss describe it as being unrelated to Eggman and the main plotline for Sonic Gaiden, who is deadly and menacing in their own right but made to look foolish in its encounters with our heroes.
I tried to play on this concept within the music itself. Digital and grating with some of that Genesis twang, but with a western "desperado" type of feel. The middle section of the song is meant to represent the foolishness of how easily Sonic can outmaneuver and outwit this assassin- a healthy dose of deadly and derpy.
I'll also add that my little mock-up is not reflective of the actual concept art, just kinda my own imagining of the character in some form.
Out of respect for the integrity of the project, I won't divulge any further info on the character concept, but I'll just say it was one of the more interesting parts of the game's concepts for me personally, and it was a blast to conceptualize this little rough draft for the character!
------------------------------
This concludes all I have to show for what I've worked on for Sonic Gaiden so far, with the exception of scrapped drafts of pre-existing songs that I may release at some point if the interest is there.
Thank you all for listening!
