History

Development

Back in February 1993, an unknown Sega Technical Institute designer pitched an idea for a solo spin-off game starring Miles "Tails" Prower. Little is currently known about the project other than it was to be an isometric puzzle/adventure platform game, and Craig Stitt had created mockup screenshots for use in the title's pitch.[1]

Legacy

The project's existence became known on August 17, 2020 when the game's artist, Craig Stitt, posted development material for Astropede online, found in a 1995 video resume he had put together in preparation for leaving Sega Technical Institute. The mockup stills were preserved via VHS transfer and posted online to a Sega group on Facebook.[1]

Stitt originally attributed the game's design to fellow STI staff member Bill Dunn; however, he later corrected himself[1][2], and does not recall for whom he created the mockup images.
