For your consideration (also on Steam)
more like ARRioware amirite
Obviously not. Like his art or not, this looks nothing at all like it.
OH no no no, i'm not saying he's bad at all. i'm not sure if the game genres being more pixel-based than hand-drawn based would vibe with his "high resolution" style, but i really do want to see him tackle a non-shmup game's variety of poses... which may be why he doesn't do them lol

Realistically, with Katie Chrzanowski's response and Nintendo's tendency to start with Cease and Desists rather than go directly to court, I don't think anyone's lives have been ruined for making a Nintendo or Sonic fangame -- in fact, I vaguely recall reading somewhere that one of the AM2R devs got a level design job at Moon Studios (the Ori devs) from their work on reimagining SR388! And at this point I'm not sure whether Sonic Omens is even still in development considering the last update on their gamejolt page was May 14th, so whether or not it posed a substantial risk to the Sonic fangame scene in the first place, it shouldn't be a problem for at least the near future.These companies are brutal about protecting their IP. The reason you never hear about it? All settlements come with an NDA that makes it so no one can write or talk about it.
Free does not mean not infringing. Not charging for your game is not a loophole to not getting sued. Under statutory damages, each infringing asset is potentially $150,000 in damages. Don't get sued into oblivion for your free fan or "parody" game.
Fair use and Parody are not rights, they are defenses. Nothing is either until a judge says it is, which will cost about $75,000-$150,000 on average through a small/mid size law firm.
