The reason I bring this up is because the decompilation makes the bizarre choice of using fread to read a single byte into the low byte of an int variable. This is a problem because what might be the low byte on a little-endian CPU is actually the high byte on a big-endian CPU. And it does this everywhere.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Mobile Decompilation) is a cartoon side view platform game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is an open-source decompilation of the 2013 Retro Engine remaster of Sonic the Hedgehog originally developed by Christian Whitehead and Headcannon and published by Sega for Android and iOS devices. It has been ported to various platforms by Rubberduckycooly and other contributors.
The 2013 Retro Engine remasters of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were initially developed for Android and iOS devices. They became ad-supported and free-to-play in 2017 with other Sega Forever branded apps, but unlike the 2012 Retro Engine remaster of Sonic CD, it remained exclusive to mobile platforms for many years. Rubberduckycool, along with assistance from RMGRich, have developed this open-source decompilation port to allow the game to be played natively on other platforms but requires the Data.rsdk file extracted from the mobile version's APK to run. The initial Windows release of the decompilation port was released on January 17, 2021 and a fork for macOS was also released by Sappharad. The decompilation port initially only featured a basic developer interface to navigate through the game's menus and settings and it also introduced various issues not seen in previous releases of the game such as the bumpers in Spring Yard Zone causing players to get stuck in certain places, crashes during the credits, or the game freezing when attempting to access the developer menu. Many of these issues has been addressed in later updates of the decompilation port.
The decompilation port currently features the ability to toggle screen filters, configurable settings through its configuration file similarly to Sonic Mania, and features a built-in mod loader. An official port of the 2013 Retro Engine remaster is featured in Sonic Origins.
Sonic the Hedgehog Forever is a modified port of the mobile decompilation that uses a new menu system, adds options for abilities from Sonic CD and Sonic Mania, features visual and sound enhancements, a built-in Achievements system, restores elements from the Sega Genesis version, and other quality-of-life improvements. Due to the changes made to this port, mods and save data for the original mobile decompilation are not compatible with Sonic the Hedgehog Forever. It is available as a standalone port or a mod for the original mobile decompilation.
Usually, when you hear about games being decompiled and rebuilt, the games are often decades-old relics, loving and saved from the ravages of time. [MattKC] recently set out to decompile the 2015 game Sonic Runners.
The game was a 2D endless runner released on mobile platforms. Despite getting praise for the gameplay, it received mixed reviews for the pop-up ads and pay-to-play elements. A little over a year later, the game was discontinued. However, the game required a constant online connection, so once the servers were offline, it rendered the over five million downloads unplayable.
A team of developers worked to reverse engineer the server, and with a little bit of binary hacking, the client could be patched to connect to a community-hosted server instead. However, as phones with notched displays came out and suggestions for improvements stacked up, the community realized a new client would bring immense benefits. Compared to many decompilation projects, Sonic Runners was pretty easy as it uses Unity, which means most of the code is in C#. Unfortunately, the build of Unity used by the game is from 2012, meaning many of the tools designed for much later versions of Unity were inoperable.
However, one native code library called UnmanagedProcess was designed to confuse reverse engineering efforts. The library handled AES encryption and communication with the server. Luckily, the library was a later addition, and earlier versions of its functions still lingered in the C# code. Since an open source server already existed, it was trivial to validate the changes. Additionally, all the shaders were in OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL), which meant rewriting them in High-Level Shading Language (HLSL) and checking that they matched the original GLSL when building for Android.
If this game actually plays as well as people are saying then...to me that's game, set, and match for Sonic Team. There won't be anything left for me to agree with that they have the talent to be the leads on Sonic the Hedgehog development because clearly Sega Hardlight just did it better.
I try to be fair to Sonic Team and even say that Sonic Frontiers is the right direction for future 3D Sonic games but if Sega Hardlight just takes one game to demonstrate that they know what 3D Sonic should play like then why not just let them head it up going forward? Why trust Sonic Team when they're still feeling things out for what works and what doesn't?
I think what I'm looking for is more a fundamental understanding of what shape the formula should take as a 3D game. Sonic Frontiers has that but in an unfinished and exploratory way. From what I've seen of Sonic Dream Team it could hit the ground running with its mechanics and feel, which doesn't bode well for Sonic Team's efforts to find a style and competency that they can stick with.
It's a black mark for Sonic Team that nearly every other developer that works on this series consistently produces better work than Sonic Team, from Dimps in the 2000s to the Mania Team in 2017 and now seemingly Hardlight, but honestly we don't need to compare Sonic Team's games to anything else to see that Sonic Team should not be entrusted with the series' future. Sonic Team's games simply don't do a good job at accomplishing the things they set out to do. That's the only standard we need to judge Sonic Team's competency as game developers.
More like I'm unhappy with the escalation of tone. I wanted to have a low-key back and forth about Sonic Team stacking up to Hardlight but instead I attracted responses that make it seem like Sonic Team is an absolute disaster and to "enjoy" a Sonic Team game now means you'll be making more excuses or downplaying the things they still can't do right than mentioning anything actually worthy of praise.
Sonic Team has undoubtedly been on a slump but I would put that all down to SEGA absolutely shitting the bed with Sonic Boom and not having a backup plan in place when it all inevitably went tits up and it quite obviously wasn't going to be the core branding of the Sonic franchise that SOA wanted it to be. Forces was rushed out the door, Frontiers was actually something new. I think they're on an upwards trajectory here.
HARDlight is doing something smaller scale that looks super cool and interesting (and visually speaks to me much much more than Frontiers' drab landscapes ever did) but I can see it being something that can co-exist with a Sonic Team that can put out refined sequels based on the Frontiers concept.
I think both can co-exist. Tbh if Sonic Team became the "console" arm and Hardlight the "mobile arm" of the franchise i think that would be ok as it allows each to specialise and refine and we get the best possible experience
Sonic Team has made 13 3D Sonic games so far, of which maybe six (SA1, SA2, Unleashed, Colors, Generations, Frontiers) are good games. That means in the past decade Sonic Team has made 1 good game in three tries. In the past two decades they have made 4 good games in 11 tries. In the past quarter of a century they have made 6 good games in 13 tries. Less than half of Sonic Team's 3D Sonic games are good! Sonic Team has struggled to put out quality Sonic games consistently for a very long time. They aren't in some sort of slump, this is just who they are.
And there's the problem, right there. Sonic Team has spent decades trying to figure out how to pad out the length of their games in a way nobody will hate, and the best you can say about their track record is they never again did it in a way as hated as Big's gameplay in Sonic Adventure. In the process, they have often declined to maintain what worked for them in the past, flat-out giving up on things that people like doing because they assumed it would be too hard. For decades Sonic Team just gave up on maintaining the approach to multiple characters that worked for them in the nineties, while with regards to maintaining gameplay, they have either constantly given up, constantly faltered, or both. Sonic Team (Ie, not Headcannon or Arzest) has never again made a 2D Sonic that moves and controls as well as in the SEGA Genesis games, nor have they ever made as much attempt as they had in Sonic Adventure 1 to translate the Genesis level design to 3D, nor have they been able to maintain the heights of the Boost gameplay they reached in Sonic Generations. This company has what seems like a self-imposed identity crisis, seemingly born of a belief that Sonic, in itself, is not important as an ideal to shoot for. Instead, Sonic is a property that they perceive a need to keep afloat and use its enormous clout as a way to test out questionable ideas. Even when they don't absolutely suck, they just make the identity crisis worse. 152ee80cbc
