Can we hope for animated introductory and ending cutscenes just like Sonic CD? Because that artist is incredible. Who did the art, anyways?

Love the look! It’s amazing! It looks like a cartoon or a comic book! Keep it up!

@Kits’Okami: There were a very small number of sprite artists who were actually creating material for Gemini (not counting the number of people who had already worked on Deebs’s amazing Modern Genesis Sonic spritesheet), but the quality of the material was rather inconsistent, as well as the speed at which it was done. The move to hand-drawn sprites was made to ensure the game would actually be completed instead of falling by the wayside, as sadly seems to often be the trend with fangames.

As a side note, Matwek (probably the person who put in the most work out of all the sprite artists) is still working with the project — however, instead of having the brunt of the sprite work pushed on him, he’s now doing level design, and doing a great job of it!

I’ve always awed at the concept mock screenshot in the artist’s sig on Retro. Beautiful.
