In November of 2012, Stealth founded the business "Headcannon" in preparation for working with The Taxman to develop ports of Sonic 1 and Sonic 2 to Android and iOS. A corresponding website was launched on March 9th of 2013, 18 days before Sonic 1 was revealed at the March 27th-29th GDC Expo, to establish presence in anticipation of the upcoming titles. Each was subsequently given a section on the site upon its release. Stealth continues to operate under the Headcannon name for current and future projects.
Projects developed under the Headcannon name include:
- Headcannon Game Engine - A script-based multi-platform 2D game engine with corresponding development tools
Projects co-developed under the Headcannon name include:
- Sonic the Hedgehog (2013 game) - a Retro Engine remake of Sonic the Hedgehog for Android and iOS with extra features, developed in conjunction with Christian Whitehead
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013) - another Retro Engine remake of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Android and iOS with extra features, developed in conjunction with Christian Whitehead
- Sonic Mania - a new Sonic entry inspired by the Genesis Sonic titles for the PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, developed in conjunction with Christian Whitehead and PadogaWest Games
Prior to official development of the 2011 re-release of Sonic CD, Stealth had assisted The Taxman in creating a pitch demo of the game by providing information gained and pseudo-code developed from reverse-engineering certain early gameplay elements such as the EGG-HVC-001 Palmtree Panic boss and the Special Stage. However, this was done before the Headcannon name was established, and once the project was officially begun, Stealth would not develop for the series again until Sonic 1. Nevertheless, he received "Special Thanks" credit and, as in the other entries in the series, his personal credit is listed by his legal name, Simon Thomley.
The Headcannon website also has a sub-section titled "Headcanon", which contains fan and otherwise non-professional projects developed in-whole or in-part by Stealth.
