I'm so happy to see this awesome fangame return after nearly a decade. I couldn't bear the thought of a fangame with such potential dying off like that...glad it's being remade, and with a more Saturn-inspired style to boot!
also i’ve seen people say the new sunrise gate tracks aren’t as good as the originals but the new act 1 track is so joyous and full of whimsy!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDD
I think it'd be a good idea to have them work only when the player holds up or a specific button. That way, the player could choose whether to perch or not.
@@Tacoradical Maybe making it like in sonic riders when you take the speed type shortcut. You just have to press the jump button in the exact spot. It would be interesting if you could charge the jump button in the parkour spots when landing correctly and get an aerial speed boost, so there'll be a reward for using the mechanic.
Man, I wish the Castlevania community had people as dedicated as the Sonic community. I'd love to just see dozens of Symphony of The Night style fangames with sprites and gameplay even better then the actual game(s) out there.
@@Preteristboy”Feel” is the concept name for the rabbit that eventually became Ristar; “Mach” is actually the name of the rabbit from the cut Sonic 1 Sound Test band.
In older version of Overture, unused spritesheet of Mach was discovered, meaning that he will become playable as it was planned (in Overture he is supposed to be Sonic's rivial who then becomes his friend, just like Knuckles)
Seems like Sonic got teleported to an alternate universe where his old rabbit design, Feels the rabbit is the main star much like Sonic. Tho here he acts like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from Epic Mickey
@@audiocity1979the original song was fucking heavenly bro, especially sunrise gate act 2 with the vocals in the background that had me feeling like I was meeting god himself. This new music is decent at best.
These vibes that i could only describe as Europe-inspired/classical/circus-y/serif-y? (i really can't put it into words) are ones that were present in elements of early sonic games, but phased out over time. It's nice to see that atmosphere be abundantly present in this game.
Kinda cool having Sonic perch and scout from the top of a structure. Nice nod to the OVA film. The soundtrack is really soothing and enjoyable to listen to. Granite Zone his really giving me Marble Zone vibes though, but I will say, the swinging spike balls from Marble Zone swinging in depth from background to foreground instead of the traditional side to side was a great touch of evolution. That 3D boss fight at the end was really cool, I wasn't expecting that.
It is really nice seeing this FanGame being back after so long! I've always loved the idea of it and the idea of exploring Christmas Island including even Max/Feels/Reto and Eggman's original design, and I like how the island and its zones looks Exploring Christmas Island officially it's not a thing I think it's necessary and it's not one of the things I want to desperatly see, but I love it being the idea of this game
what is that little firework whistle noise from? it sounds so familiar... is it fantavision? what is it? [edit:] no, I think it actually sounds like the credits fireworks from the YM2017 cartridge
Looks pretty, but the music sounds too much like the SNES sound chip. It’s just too slow and low, IMO. What is the deal with the totem poles? Do you get points or something for landing on them?
Hm… from what I’ve seen, Feels or whatever people call him is more of a troublemaker and will get in the way during the stage, while Eggman is the real bad guy, since both boss fights were against him. If the full game is released perhaps Feels will have to team up with Sonic to stop Eggman.
I like the Christmas Island music from the first demo much more. With its remixes of original songs from Sonic 1... Also in this game it is very beautiful!
This is amazing so far, but one mild criticism. The Granite Zone boss is a little too easy. I think Eggman should be firing at Sonic from the back end of that thing while the player also has to dodge some of those logs. Only with like a few shots at a time, though.
Everyone Asking Feel:Why Are You Not In Any Of The Sonic Games? Sonic Overture And Sonic Superstars:Nuh uh We Adding Feel The Rabbit There (What If Cream The Rabbit Met Feel The Rabbit)
It's because Legends uses Overture's 1st stage (Sunrise Gate), Legends is supposed to be Mania of Sonic fangames and it will mostly re-use stages from obscure/popular fangames
I hate how yt thinks this is Sonic Mania, of all things... also, will there actually be a fight between Sonic The Hedgehog and Rabbit Sonic in this game later?
@@KLUCZESIA Feels is the name of the rabbit Sonic, I think. I might be wrong though. I did remember seeing a post in reddit about Feels the Rabbit, apparently a Sonic concept character.
@@HeadPats4Peter Yeah, I know that Sonic was originally a Rabbit, but I didn't know that his actual name was Feels, before the change into the Hedgehog.
Some really cool ideas, but the clinging mechanic shouldn't be automatic, it messes up the momentum of the game. I love the aesthetic of stage 2, however. Very nostalgic, fits in perfectly with the tropical glitz of the early 90s. Also that final battle looks fantastic.
Double upload because I had the day off for Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas everybody!
Love the nod to Sonic CD when he perched on the totum pole looking around.
Why does it have those things that bring you to a dead stop every five seconds??

I’d recognize the Nights font anywhere. Love it for the combo system
I apologize for the stutters in some levels... Nvidia Shadowplay and 2D Sonic fangames don't mix well...
I like how he turned the sonic prototype rabbit guy into a bad guy with the personality of an animaniac
his naME IS FEELS YOU EGG

THE SPRITEWORK ON THE CAPSULE PARTS AS THEY FLY AWAY IT’S SO AMAZING
also i’ve seen people say the new sunrise gate tracks aren’t as good as the originals
but the new act 1 track is so joyous and full of whimsy!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDD
This is what I'd like to believe a 2D Sonic game on the Sega Saturn would have looked like.
15:48 wasnt expecting a modified rail-shooter type boss fight.
the walls moving past is something.
Imagine a Super Sonic boss like that
Anyone got the music for that boss fight?
I love the little bit of Mable Zone music that's mixed into the Granite Zone tracks.
Tbh this looks like some kind of dream world that sonics in, it feels very calm
10:35 this laugh sfx is so funny

Fells the rabbit:hahahahahhahaahhahahahahaha DIE
Sonic: wait WHAT
i like how Sonic Overture uses most of scrapped/unused ideas
Given that this game takes place before the events of Sonic 1, it only makes sense.
I feel like the clinging/parkour mechanic might get intrusive/annoying in some places.
I think it'd be a good idea to have them work only when the player holds up or a specific button. That way, the player could choose whether to perch or not.

Another solution would be allowing the player to keep their speed after jumping out
Man, even the cut UFOs from marble zone made it in here. The attention to detail with these deep cut references is off the charts
Man, I wish the Castlevania community had people as dedicated as the Sonic community. I'd love to just see dozens of Symphony of The Night style fangames with sprites and gameplay even better then the actual game(s) out there.
I thought this fan game was cancelled. So glad it’s back!
Hope we can still play as Feels (or whatever this whatever this rabbit's name) get his own DLC Episode or play as him In general.
According to the trailer, it's Mach.

actually I did some research and I’m pretty sure his name is “Shithead”
The rabbit’s official names were Reto and Max, but I like to call him Reto the rabbit.
0:59 HEY DONT THINK I DIDNT CD YOU THERE
Overture is described as an “an introduction to something more substantial” in the dictionary, so this is the prequel to Sonic 1
This is some next level fangame right there
Without anything related to mania
Imagine trying to get a full combo though the entire level. 🅿️

Imagine that being the story! This could have even be a fangame that tries to be the true Sonic 4...
I just don't know why some people don't like the replaced sunrise gate music.. I think it's catchy and upbeat
I think it's because the original theme is too good.
That song has been in my head for years.
@@elumbreonespacial4361 well, their opinion ig

@@handlename88 I guess the new music needs to be on par with the old ones
I liked the music so much I had to look up the composer, they have some good bangers on their SoundCloud!
Very nice.
I'll still miss the old Sunrise Gate music. Especially Act 2.
I feel a bit mixed about sunrise gate's new musics
Woaaah! It's impressive. What a surprise at the end of the game!!! I love the design and the animation of the characters. I'd love to see a full game.
10:28
Feels did a jojo reference!! 😂😂😂
Do the statues give you a boost in speed or something? They seem quite fun to land on.
Not sonic doing the cd opening pose on every totem 😂
Oh shit didn't knew Overture was being worked on again
All these Sonic Demos! Are there any Sonic Fan Games that are actually complete?
Totems aside the game has stunning sprites and the link system is interesting
10:30 Sonic looks so annoyed lmao
I love the nights styled lettering. Great Saturn esc atmosphere
Can’t wait for more content!!!
These vibes that i could only describe as Europe-inspired/classical/circus-y/serif-y? (i really can't put it into words) are ones that were present in elements of early sonic games, but phased out over time. It's nice to see that atmosphere be abundantly present in this game.
I think this game needs a ranking system to emphasize the link mechanic more.
I think the links are just meant to be a little cool effect.
No that would suck ass
Wow, Sonic fan games have come a long way. This looks neat!
Kinda cool having Sonic perch and scout from the top of a structure. Nice nod to the OVA film. The soundtrack is really soothing and enjoyable to listen to.

It would be cool to see it on the sega Saturn!
And Sega 32X
Even works on the dreamcast as well
Ngl this is gotta be like the smoothest sonic fangame ever existed.The effect when you killed a robot is fantastic
What is the name of that font for the combo system?
That noise whenever you destroy an enemy is ear piercing
Pretty cool how Eggman first has is protagonist design. Might aswell if you're bringing back Feels!

Wow,I wish I can listen this game's soundtrack! Especially Granite Zone Act 1,it even has a great reference to Marble Zone from S1!

The poles are pretty much just used to gain lots of height and to go fast.
OMG I LOVE FEELS SO MUCH ♥♥♥
It’s just “Feel”. In actual fact, the character is actually called Mach in this game as a nod to the cut Sound Test Band from Sonic 1.

Do not feel the rabbit.
*DON'T CREAM IT EITHER!*
this comment was NOT necessary💀💀
People say that sonic mania is the sega saturn game we never got but they're wrong. It's this!
The totem poles break the flow of the level but by the by this is a beautiful tribute to the series as a "what if" spinoff.
Did Sonic Legends start first or this? Cuz they are similar to a t

5:50 The egg did not just get a crack in it… 😭
If this came out on the Saturn for real with 4x the resolution for graphics, I think it would make an epic saturn game.
they brought back this one, nice, I loved this one
the way they turned a sonic 1 prototype into a better game than the og game is outstanding
I wouldn't say THAT.
I like the Christmas Island music from the first demo much more. With its remixes of original songs from Sonic 1... Also in this game it is very beautiful!
I NEED this for my Saturn !!!!
This graphics make it look like the 2D Sega Saturn Sonic game that never was.
This is a work of art
5:55 = Oops, um hey there... o.O

I find it funny how the Rabbit name was never Feels
This kinda looks like if sonic had freedom planet visuals to it
Man, didn't know I needed Sonic with the Pizza Tower combo system
5:59 how sonic met robotnik/eggman mind you sonic overture is a prequel to sonic 1
I think the team making this game is more focused on making a Saturn Sonic game.
So maybe here they already know each other :/
I hope the creators of this game make a Ristar game
If I had seen 15:53 in an official Sonic game as a kid I'd have lost my goddamn mind 🤣
My dream came true not as a young teen now in my 40s seeing this on Saturn hardware taking advantage of its 2D engines.
I'm really sad they cut the previous version of sunrise gate, it was such a great song...
other than that this is a near perfect demo
I’ve been trying to download it but it wont work can someone help me
The Chaotix vibes are strong with this one...
the background is like the background of the 1990 tokyo toy show sonic prototype background
in this moment 0:57
Definitely couldve seen this being on the Saturn
Everyone Asking Feel:Why Are You Not In Any Of The Sonic Games?
Sonic Overture And Sonic Superstars:Nuh uh We Adding Feel The Rabbit There
(What If Cream The Rabbit Met Feel The Rabbit)
Is this playable today? Where can i find it?
It's looking like a special stage 15:35
Was this originally called sonic legends?
Hope it includes those nightmarish enemies from the concept arts
This game could've been more merciful when trying to maintain a combo meter. I feel it drains too quickly...
This. is beautiful. Well Done ~ French Kiss
The Sega Saturn logo appeared, so for those who want to play the original game, just download and play on a Sega Saturn emulator?
I really liked this fan game, it looks a lot like another fan game that I also really like called Sonic Legends
It's because Legends uses Overture's 1st stage (Sunrise Gate), Legends is supposed to be Mania of Sonic fangames and it will mostly re-use stages from obscure/popular fangames
@@Davo255_ ok
Isn't Sonic Legends also based on Sonic Overture?
Yes... though Legends is more of a collage of unfinished Sonic fanagmes, Overtire just being one of them
@@MariusUrucuI thought this was a copy of Sonic Legends
@@LeoEmberWell, it isn't a copy because sonic overture is from 2014
I wish this would come out on disc for sega Saturn lol
wow!
should increase the amount of animation frames for Sonic if it's really going for the 32bit Saturn look
What happened to the soundtrack though? 😢
One word: Controversy.
Stopping on every totem pole in that first level seems like it really messes with the flow. Was that as annoying as it looked when you played it?
Honestly, at certain points it got annoying. I think perching via holding up might fix this issue
Sonic fans make the best Sonic games.
I hate how yt thinks this is Sonic Mania, of all things... also, will there actually be a fight between Sonic The Hedgehog and Rabbit Sonic in this game later?
