Rad Venture might be a collectathon, but we do take a lot of inspiration from the Sonic series in terms of tone and style The game's NPCs and hub world (Vistabell) are inspired by Sonic Unleashed! Also, here's a couple animations that are references to the amazing sprite work of Sonic Advance 2!

A collage of images showing Sonic Advance 2 Sonic sprites doing various poses with Rad animations next to them showing similar poses.

On the left is a Double Jump animation. On the right is Rad's sprint animation.

Just so y'all know (because we use Unreal Engine 5), fuck Epic Games, UE6, and gen ai. We will NEVER use gen ai in the production of Rad Venture or any future projects. Gen ai is a tool of fascism. Game devs who use gen ai in any capacity should be shamed and ostracized. Have a Rad screenshot

Screenshot of Rad Venture showing Rad in a Rogue outfit. He's in a magical forest, surrounded by trees. Castle ruins can be seen in the background.

Btw, the story and script have been completed for some time now and we've been working on the storyboards for a while, too! Finally excited to get some cutscenes and voice acting work done soon!
