History

Pre-release

Upon its release, Sonic scene member Lapper found himself unable to access PlaySEGA's official Sonic the Hedgehog Level Creator, and was inspired to program a level creator of his own. From this desire came 2009's Sonic Maker, one of the first Sonic fangames which allowed users to design their own levels. Later, the release of 2017's Sonic Mania further inspired Lapper to return to the idea of a level creation program.[1]

Sonic Studio was first announced in May 2018.[1] As of late 2022, the game is still being actively developed.
