Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the founding of Sonic Paradox: back when our old forums were first opened and the name of our community was set in stone. This would lead, of course, to the first volume of our long-lived Sonic the Hedgehog parody series, Sonic Shorts!

Christmas draws near, so how about some gifts for you all? Let's start with the biggest one...

CASINO CALAMITY IS ALMOST COMPLETE! How close...? Only 3 out of several dozen parts need to be finalized! The rest is all post-production.

How close? The release date, unless something goes horribly-wrong: JANUARY 16, 2026!

At long last, this collab will soon out there for you all to see. There is quite the story to be told about the sheer level of production hell this project has had to endure. For starters, writing the script began in late 2013, but the script would not be finalized until late into 2014. Furthermore, the audio for the main presentation was finalized back in late 2015. This crazy train has been going on and off the rails for literally over a decade. And now... the train is about to roll into the station.

In other news, Sonic Shorts Volume 11 is coming along splendidly!

How about some more presents?

For starters, have a blast from the past: the very first animated collab, which was created and released not all that long before Sonic Paradox was founded! https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/261043

Next up, how about a silly Christmas album our community put together and released back on December 28, 2011? Hedgehog Holiday Hits! You can check out this project's release trailer using the following URL!

Lastly, just for the heck of it, if you are feeling old and want to feel even older, why not give our overly-elaborate April Fool's joke from 2023 a try and enjoy most of our projects on your 30+ year old computer? XD

So, from Sonic Paradox, we wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and here's to an awesome New Year!
