Q&A Video
Transcript
Hello everyone! My name is Brandon and I'm the creator of Sonic Runners Reloaded. On this day, 3 years ago, Sonic Runners Reloaded was officially released to the public. So, to celebrate, I asked you guys on Twitter to send me some questions, and I'm going to answer them in this video! Let's get started!
Will the game have any sort of story mode?
Yes, the game will have a story mode! Thanks to some of you in our survey, we're adding many new mechanics to make the story mode more interesting and engaging. For example, you will be able to recruit soldiers to defend different landmarks on the map from Eggman's attacks. The story will have multiple endings, depending on how well you did.
"Will the game be offline or online?"
So, good news, the game can be played both offline AND online! While you're offline, you will be able complete the entire story campaign, play timed mode, unlock characters and buddies, and more! You will only need to be online to access Events and Leaderboards!
"Will there be an EXP system?"
Yep, you will be able to gain experience after completing runs, for both yourself and your characters! Additionally, we'll be adding a skill tree that you can use to unlock new abilities for your characters each time they reach a certain level.
"Does the Reloaded team plan on supporting the game post launch with new characters and buddies?"
Most definitely! We have many plans for new updates and events that we can have after release that add new stages, music tracks, characters, and buddies!
"Will there be a way to buy characters with rings or red stars rings instead of just the character gacha?"
So, I was actually thinking about adding a new currency that you can get by playing through story mode or events that allows you to buy any character or buddy you want without having to rely on the gacha, maybe special eggs or moon rings? Maybe in some kind of store page.
"What got you into making Sonic Runners Reloaded?"
I got Sonic Runners Adventure while it was still exclusive to the Gameloft store and I played through the entire thing. I thought to myself, this is neat but this not the Sonic Runners sequel I wanted. I thought, y'know Sonic Runners had a Sonic Lost World theme so what if I made a sequel that has a Sonic Forces theme? It kinda makes sense! And yeah, that's what got me into making it!
"When will the rest of the cast, buddies, and timed mode be available?"
They will be available when the full game officially launches, hopefully sometime in 2021.
"Will you add any special characters like: Halloween Team Dark, Christmas Team Sonic, and Amitie Amy?"
Yep! All of that and much more! We have some exciting plans for special characters.
"Is the game going to get a new character for Christmas?"
I wish we could do that this year, but unfortunately no. However, I'm sure we'll have Christmas characters next year!
"Besides gacha and buying, will you add some kind of achievement system to get new characters and rewards?"
I think achievements are a very important part of games so yes, we'll be adding them, and rewards for completing them too!
"What kind of special skills do you wanna add for characters like Cream, Vector, Sticks...?"
We want every character to have a unique special skill. For Cream, she can probably send Cheese to attack enemies. For Vector, he could probably blow bubbles across the stage, and maybe that can be used to collect items from far away? And for Sticks, she'll probably throw her boomerang out to defeat foes.
"Is there some cancelled, forgotten features you wanna add to the game?"
Probably white wisps. In early versions of Reloaded, white wisps were used to fill up a boost gauge, which we have now turned into special gauge used for all characters. Maybe you can find these white wisps in a capsule throughout the stage, and when collected, instantly fills the gauge.
"Will there be a lost world or classic option?"
I was actually thinking about this, having the stages from the original Runners would be really cool, especially since that would mean you would be able to experience the original game with the new features from Reloaded. I think it's a good idea, and I really want to add it. Maybe we could have stage skins? Hmm...
"What's your favorite Sonic game?"
This might be controversial, but my favorite is Sonic Colors. I really love the stage environments, they're very beautiful! And I liked the addition of the wisps, they added a whole new way to play the game that doesn't ruin the flow for me.
"Do you have fun making games?"
Yeah! Honestly, if I didn't have fun, I probably wouldn't be making them.
"How do you feel about the progress you've made on Runners Reloaded?"
I'm feeling pretty good about it, although, I wish I could speed up the process a bit. But I hope you all can be bare with us and hopefully stick around for the future!
That concludes our Q&A! I hope you guys enjoyed! Please be sure to subscribe to the channel, follow us on Twitter, or join the discord server!
