Chronicles of Mobius

Chronicles of Mobius is the surtitle of a fangame series that's currently in the early planning stages. The debut effort of Project Redux, CoM is planned to be a fully 3D series utilizing the Infinity+ framework, which runs over the Unreal Engine. The Chronicles of Mobius series will act as a separate Alternate Universe retelling of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, taking elements and inspiration from several of the series' various canons and continuities, including concept art and cancelled titles.
The main character will continue to be Sonic himself, however the supporting cast will also have their moments to shine as playable characters. Character development will be a prominent element of the series, as will continuity and consistency. The tone will be very much in the vein of Adventure 1 & 2 and the IDW comics.
== Setting ==
The series is set in the Mobius Prime star system, originally charted and colonized by the Terran Federation during their exploration of the Mobius Strip Nebula. The system contains 6 planets, two of which are habitable: the second planet in the system -designated Gaia by the Terran Federation- is the center of Human colonization in the sector, and the third -designated Mobius Major- which was the site of the system's primary research complex prior to the events which led to the accidental creation of the Mobian race. Gaia has a single moon, while Mobius Major has two moons and three trojan asteroids. The innermost of Mobius Major's moons is the subject of much study due to it existing within the planet's atmosphere in a state of extreme temporal flux; officially known as Mobius Minor in Human records, the odd moon is known as the "Little Planet" to the Mobians.
The Mobius Prime System was of particular note to Terran scientists because of the abundance of Chaos Emeralds it contained; typically Chaos Emeralds exist in groups of five-to-six within a star system, Mobius Prime has seven on each habitable planet for a total of fourteen. That number does not include the first-ever-documented, but long rumored among the galactic community Master Emerald discovered on Mobius Major, nor the related but distinct Time Stones discovered on Mobius Minor.
