Retro Sonic is an effort by "The Taxman" (Christian Whitehead) to create a platform game engine with the same capabilities as the engine built into Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The first game called Retro-Sonic was created using the MultiMedia Fusion authoring environment, then rewritten in Visual Basic. It was rewritten once more to create the current current incarnation, called Retro Sonic (without a hyphen). The current incarnation is written in the C++ programming language using DirectX[1] and works on Windows and on the Dreamcast gaming system.
Level, animation, and game editors are being worked on through the Retro Sonic SDK.[2]
A demo of the game was released for the 2007 Sonic Amateur Games Expo. It featured one zone (Egg Gardens) and a custom rebuild of Emerald Hill Zone.
