Cutscene Revamp Extensions mod has officially released and I'm already loving it. Amy now has her eyeliner and she looks so adorable. HedgeWedge and @mars-x23.bsky.social really cooked with this one gamebanana.com/mods/684473

Recently I released a mod that disables the model replacements SA2's stage cutscenes, also known as mini-events, do. This is mainly for players who use skins because their models will often break. You can download it at: gamebanana.com/mods/654342 #sonicthehedgehog #sa2 #sonicmodding

I opened up some commission slots on my Ko-fi! I feel more confident about commission work so if you want a Sonic Adventure 2 character skin or Chao, this is a good opportunity!

A Sonic Adventure 2 screenshot. The stage is Basic Test. My OC Max Fetcha is standing before Amy Rose in the Hero Chao Outfit skin I made being unbelievably distorted. This is the result of me dipping my toes into shear effects with SA2's rendering library, Ninja. I'm pretty sure Ninja doesn't have shearing functionality but it should be possible to make my own.

Indeed. I'm considering this a trial run to see how I can truly handle commissions so I just have 1 slot open. I don't have my Ko-Fi linked here but you can get to it through my website.

I felt like drawing Amy Rose and getting on that Green Amy trend though it's probably passed now 💀. I also wanna practice this texturing thing I've been trying out so... #amyrose #sonicthehedgehog #sonicart #sonic #art #digitalart
The drawing of Amy Rose. Some minor design tweaks were made, like the addition of a fang and the tip at the end of her hammer's handle. She's holding her Piko Piko Hammer over her shoulder. A rose background is added because transparency doesn't exist.The same image but edited to be green. Red and pink do not exist anymore.

In light of the results of Sonic Rumble's Community Skin design contest, I decided to make a model of the Hero Chao Amy designed by my friend @monoex.bsky.social! Not to be biased, but this was my favorite design. ;) #sonicthehedgehog #amyrose #chao #sonicrumble #3dart #3d
The render! It has been edited to account for Bluesky's lack of transparency support.The model in-game. The in-game version has been edited from the render model. The frills and wings have been changed to be opaque models to accommodate for the game's bugged transparency system.

There's also unused idle chatter that seems to be for Missions 2 and 4 going off of the dialogue. Unlike the Chao World ones, there's no point where they are referenced in the code as far as I know. (4/4)
021
Mars @mars-x23.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
SA2 has plenty of unused voicelines. Here, there's some idle chatted for Chao World that never plays because the game doesn't play idle chatter if you're in Chao World. (3/4)

Another mod I'm working on extends character voice functionality, and so far I've put the most into Kart Racing. I've even added some compatibility for the Opa Opa DLC Kart. Any issues since this video was recorded has since been fixed. (2/4)

A BRAND NEW (?!?!?!) 3D model for my OC Max Fetcha. The textures for the clothing will need some work but that's the beauty of learning new stuff!! He may be coming to CrossWorlds as a mod soon (if I can get the hang of modding Unreal) #sonicthehedgehog #sonicfanart #sonicoc #3D #blender
The new Max Fetcha model. I used the Forces Avatar parts as a base and worked my way from there to make it more accurate.

Oh! By the way, I participated in Art Fight this year. I should really post about my other interests more. This is one attack I did of @skaerial.bsky.social's Keira. I really like their design and I think the scythe is really cool! #sonicoc #artfight #artfight2025 #art
skaerial's Keira. I went for a more active pose and a view from behind instead of a basic standing pose. I am aware that her scythe is supposed to be bigger than her but I don't know if I could fit that on paper. The attack has been edited from its original transparent version to have a colored background.

Some screenshots from my cutscene mod for SA2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Director's Cut. If I haven't brought it up yet, the mod aims to fix the Gamecube cutscenes by "finishing" them to the best of my ability. #sonic #sonicadventure2 #gamemodding
An in-dev screenshot of E0002 for SA2BDC. Modifier volumes have been added.A somewhat outdated in-dev screenshot of E0128 for SA2BDC.An in-dev screenshot of E0204 for SA2BDC. Thanks to Render Fix's completely rewritten event system, the Research Lab's reflections show back up.An in-dev screenshot of E0006 for SA2BDC. Due to Render Fix's Dreamcast Event ports and those events' textures being arranged differently, all the textures for this cutscene are wrong.

I'd also like to wish a happy anniversary to Sonic Adventure 2 (well, technically it's Dreamcast version). I love this game to pieces and I'm happy that it even came out. This game along with other Sonic games have shaped who I am today and is incredibly also incredibly important for the franchise.

Did you know? The Hard Mode version of Meteor Herd (every version) contains an enemy not seen anywhere else in the game. This is the GUN Phoenix! It's a red and faster version of the GUN Hornet-3 enemy. There's also an unused Phoenix-6 variant! #sonicthehedgehog | #sa2 | #knuckles | #sonicadventure2
A screenshot of a GUN Phoenix arming its bombs to throw at Knuckles.Two GUN Phoenixes. The model on the left, a Phoenix-3. The model on the right, a Phoenix-6. The Phoenix-6 goes unused as the only two Phoenixes are Phoenix-3's.

Peculiar stuff. #sonicthehedgehog #sa2modding #sa2
A scene of Shadow standing on a ramp in Radical Highway. The light strips have been removed.

The displayer function for this object uses a drawing function I personally labeled 𝚐𝚓𝚄𝚅𝚂𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕𝙼𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕, which I believe draws an object with the UVs scrolled by an input argument, to display the scrolling lights on the ramp. I nulled the function call for that, causing the lights to disappear.Sonic looking at a dash ramp that is missing the moving arrows.

The displayer function for this object uses a function I labeled 𝚗𝚓𝙲𝚗𝚔𝚄𝚅𝚂𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕𝙼𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕, which appears to just take a model and scroll its UVs, followed by a call to draw the model itself. Nulling the first function causes the arrows to stop scrolling, and nulling the second causes the model to not draw.Sonic looking at a group of dash panels but they're just the moving panel and lack the shell.

The main function for the dash panel object has a weird check for if a variable has a value and chooses one of two displayer functions depending on it. I set that variable to have a value, which caused them to use the other displayer.

I don't have any existing pictures of him, but Max is my first and oldest OC. His oldest design was a lot less detailed, having no bangs, a flat red t-shirt, and was overall less interesting.
