The sonic Amateur Games Expo is sponsored and run by Sonic Fangames HQ with involvement from the entire Sonic fandom community and more. Very importantly, we would like to thank everyone who had a hand in putting this year's AGE together, especially on such short notice. Below is only a partial list of the small army of contributors and well-wishers that help make SAGE worth doing. If I missed you I promise it wasn't on purpose!
SAGE Staff and Helpers Shadix - Who ended up bearing the brunt of the scheduling woes. Nevertheless, Shadix was resonsible for arranging all of our guests and events in the face of some daunting circumstances. Matt A. Tobin - from Binary Outcast for providing much needed technical assistance and coordination at (and well after) the last minute. The Sonic Stadium - for providing ShoutCast services on such short notice. Tweaker - for massive support, generally helping to keep the bullsh*t from getting out of hand, and assisting with the Ohshima interview along with David the Lurker). Kiddo - Help with the radio and video casts as well as providing additional content. Thasauce - especially Starla, for hosting the composition contest Kyle Boyle - Help with promotional materials and the voice of Dr. Eggman in the promotional trailers. Blyde (graphics), USC (javascript) and Smidge204 (hosting, HTML) for the website itself. Special Guests Ohshima Naoto - Creator of Sonic and many other characters - who took the time to answer questions from our visitors. Both Ohshima-san, translator Sterling Diesel and her friend all showed a great deal of patience for a difficult interview. Mike Pollock - Generally awesome guy and voice actor for Dr. Eggman - for mostly being Mike Pollock. For no particular reason he ended up hanging out with us for over four hours and a great time was had by all. Nate Horsfall - For his excellent panel on 3D animation. Jer Roque from Arc Impulse - for his awesome livestream event. Overbound - for enduring technical difficulties and providing a panel on level design. Space Town Savior - aka Patrick Trinh - for playing at a convention that doesn't necessary appeals to the scene. Those that tuned in really enjoyed it, though, and we were glad to have him! Dom, KatzuNiku, InstantSonic, Tweaker, Bigadam, Kroze, StreakThunderstorm, Shadix, LittleKuriboh and many others - for their performance in the Dramatic Fanfic Reading events. Many others for their mostly impromptu casts, demonstrations and game reviews. Including but not limited to DimensionWarped, InstantSonic, Dom, DJ-Noe, Huepow and MrWorm. SAGE Supporters TSSZ - for news coverage off SAGE. SEGA Driven - for news coverage off SAGE, particularly SonicYoda who, along with <,b>Strife and Ristar, judged the "Best Of SAGE2011." Magfest - particularly Nick the Newbie - for alot of behinds the scenes help trying to get in touch with industry insiders and additional counseling. Sonic Wrecks - for coverage and even altering the theme of their site in support of us. |
