To start off, I sincerely thank you to those who have followed me through thick and thin throughout the years with my work and with my character, really. Despite the longevity of time, I am forever grateful for any artwork I see that's inspired or based on my creation. Thank you.

Now onto the juicy stuff. To begin, me and my friends have been developing a comic for EXE that covers the extent of his origins, his world, and the beginning of the vessel that will one day become his rival. Spanning 13 issues, this comic will come by issue once each is done.

Secondly, I have something to show everyone in relation to Sonic Prototype 2017, and that is models for the full cast, along with some additional animations. The next couple posts will be discussing their profiles, and additional information.

Lucas A Tails vessel, only recently born into the world of Prototype. He is timid, naive, and tries to not assume the worst of things. Also has bad knees. His levels span two zones, from the Valley to the Mountaintops.

Kyle A Knuckles vessel, a rough guy, tends to keep a brisk space of his surroundings and can be very aggressive when approached. If it moves, he'll try to put it down. He's yet to even see the beast. His levels span two zones, from the Beaches to the Monastery.

Alice An Amy Vessel, cheery, yet still very unsure of how she got here. Curious of her surroundings, she tries to find herself amongst kinder company. However, fate has intents for her that are worse than death itself. Her levels span three zones, the City, the Sewers and ???

Gary An Eggman Vessel, not much can be perceived about his personality. Despite his reserved demeanor, he is seasoned in this world's ways and tries to mind his own... in most cases. His levels span two zones, the Valley and the Tower.

Jake A Metal Sonic vessel, who has been devastated by the nature of this world and the beast that spawned it. He is cold, calculated, and hardly gives a second thought when it comes to something being in the way of his objective. His levels are unknown.

Faker A Sonic vessel. If it sees you, you only have a short amount of time to flee. After that, there's no telling what will happen to your remains in the aftermath. He is anywhere. And if he's not there, he will be soon.

Continuing onto the world of Protoype, there are a number of areas I would like to briefly run down so people can know what to expect in the environment. Prototype has a set number of areas formatted into the shape of a conglomerated island, with areas mixing with one another.

The Valley is a dead grassy plains area, with dying trees, bushes, and scratched wooden totems with cuts that look almost fresh. Dirt cliffs and ripples in the ground of common here, and it is largely uninhabited.

The Mountaintops are a rigged set of paths that mark nothing but death. Able to be traveled to from across large ditches in the Valley, this place has plenty of black thorns that can fatally injure any who are not wary.

The Beaches are gravel filled shores that encompass the outer rim of the island of Prototype, and the final border to the Tide. But there is no water here. Only darkness. It is best to watch your step and find another spot other than these cliffsides and mounds.

The Monastery is a large, ancient-looking location with marble pillars littering it. But in the heart of the surroundings is a large temple. Empty pits, chains, torches fill the place. Some vessels come here for shelter, but some others use it as a spot for easy prey.

The City is a large scrapyard that houses many Badnik vessels who seek shelter. Not many know the true origin of its structures, but they hardly care as long as it grants them protection. Metal is clumped against the walls of this location, and most of its path lead to deadends.

The Sewers are where any and all vessels come to suffer. Most of the City inhabitants tried to blockade this location so no one could get in, and nothing could get out. It is filled with black tar, and heavily damaged stone, with black thorns strewing all across its interiors.

Prototype contains a great many other areas, but I will hold off on discussing them for now. Now, I want to link the thread of official concept art for the game itself. https://x.com/_shefki_/status/... Wonderful work on Shefki's part, your help is appreciated greatly, friend !

And with that, I end this thread with one final post, this being a spot for QNA. PLEASE DIRECT ANY AND ALL CURIOSITIES ABOUT SONIC PROTOTYPE HERE. I will answer what I can as long as it doesn't majorly reveal the narrative. Here's to another year of EXE.

Models done by @SpringyTheC_S btw, her work is fantastic as well (forgor to put it in the thread because of space)

@SpringyTheC_S Going to actually be posting more stuff in the thread as the day goes on, but here's some animations samples for the cast, mostly some of their idles.

@corven_03 I've been a fan of your work since near the end of 2021, even in your trying times, because EXE just gave me that "he is so unbelievably fucking cool/badass" vibe no other fictional character had. I can't wait to see what you've cooked up with your wretched son.

@Jonkerball appreciate it, and it’s not just me. my prototype team is phenomenal in their contributions and helping me realize my ideas and concepts.

@corven_03 genuinely suprised faker made it this far as for my question, are you proud of your creations

@LoogiSploogi I am proud of Faker, and 2017. Although sometimes I do wish I could start smaller with them again, and not worry constantly about meeting some sort of standard, because like I wanna be sure that the projects I do are fun and for fun with the people I do them with.

@corven_03 i thought faker was just a fan name and not canon?

@demobaby7 i use it tbh

@corven_03 With how Jake and Gary look compared to the rest of the cast, Have they been trapped the longest? and if so, between Gary and Jake who is the more experienced or durable of the two?

@FelixOnTwit01 yes gary has been trapped longer, but jake has seen more than any other vessel firsthand

@corven_03 How many hours is the game gonna be?

@DoodlewareNG it may vary depending on how we pace it

@corven_03 Do the victims come back to life and lose their memory or something? So they forget about being killed?

@JF_the_guyidk guess you’ll have to see

@corven_03 Is EXE aware of his fans and the stuff they make about him?

@Revient1993 no, he has no perception of followers or supporters, as he keeps himself rather isolated from the outside besides having Tilen spread his “game”.
