From Sonic Retro

Revision as of 14:29, 25 August 2009 by SonicVaan (talk | contribs) (SIGH, Selbi! Fixedcrap and etc.)

<forumuser name="SonicVaan" /> SonicVaan (previciously known as EGGMAN) is a German member of the Sonic scene. He frequents several boards in the scene, including Sonic Retro, RetroHack and SSRG. While he doesn't maintain a Sonic forum of his own, he has made several of his own ROM hacks. Unfortunately, most of them were extremely buggy, with color palettes very hard on the eyes.

He is currently a member of the team working on Sonic 1 Harder Levels Version (by Eduardo Knuckles) and Team ZX (by CarrascoZX0), both of which are currently working on hacks of the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive, and several other teams.

While he doesn't work alot on ASM, he betatests several hacks, then. He is a very experienced betatester. He tests many different hacks now, including famous hacks such as Sonic 1 Harder Levels Version and Sonic 1 Brother Trouble.

History

SonicVaan originally joined the Sonic Retro forums in late 2007 under the alias EGGMAN. This would be short-lived, however, as he found himself banned by Scarred Sun for bad English and poorly-structured, rather nonsensical posts.

When Tweaker "discontinued" Sonic Megamix, he found himself rather irritated. This led him to make several videos of a beta of the discontinued hack. At SSRG he tried to make a hack called Qjimbo in Sonic 1, where Dr. Robotnik is supposed to be Tweaker. This hack eventually faded into obscurity due to its poor execution and rather juvenile basis in creation.

He started to create a hack called Sonic 1 SSRG, which is based on several facets of the Sonic Stuff Research Group community. Besides that he works on a hack called Sonic 1: The Special Stages. Those hacks got some good feedback.

Today

SonicVaan is currently working on two projects: Sonic 1 SSRG and Sonic 1: The Special Stages. He's trying to do his best at ASM stuff and he's going to learn how the Sonic the Hedgehog 1 engine works. Other than that, he's helping out on other projects--some are secret, some not.

Real Life

He does have a lot of problems and stress and he does say he has the worst life ever. Sometimes he has suicidal minds and he's called by others an "emo". At 2009's April holidays he managed to get outside. He hates love and is asexual.
