He's been doing it for over a decade, so I figure if that's the case then he certainly took his time to make that decision. Maybe he just got tired of dealing with Sega's corporate bullshit -- they are notoriously hostile to one another in that company and will actively sabotage one another over petty slights.

Really? I hadn’t heard that. Are you talking about 90s era Sega when SoJ and SoA were mostly autonomous and were at each others throats?

The Sonic Mania team forming their own studio has no real bearing on whether or not we get a Sonic Mania 2. It’s just that if they’re involved the logo that shows up at the beginning would be this:

The degree to which SOJ screwed over SOA in the mid-late ninties was really quite impressive.

It was a situation where I can't say I liked how either side looked. Kalinske's accounts are full of self promotion and stuff, but he made a lot of objectively bad decisions of his own while in charge of SoA.

My favorite bit of the whole story is how Kalinske worked with Silicon Graphics to make a new GPU for the new sega system, but SOJ wanted to stick it to Kalinske so they shot down the deal to go with a more expensive japanese chip.

SGI was left holding this new GPU with no console to put it in, but then Nintendo showed up and OH HEY OUR NEW 64 BIT SYSTEM NEEDS A GPU AND YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE ONE NEAT.

I mean Kalinske basically helped make a book that's more or less an ad for what a great CEO he was and how he made Sega a success, so.

I filled out the survey and told them, in a shorter amount of words, that I really appreciate their attempts to rethink the platforming/running gameplay fundamentally, like with Lost World, and I hope they keep experimenting while aiming for something will appeal to the speedrun community.
I think it would be cool to have more modern sonic games that become GDQ highlights like Super Monkey Ball is. I dunno what the right gameplay would be, but anything can be a recognizably Sonic game as long as it involves going fast.

I told them to make the Newgrounds Sonic hentai games canon.

Actually I told them to make more stuff like Sonic Generations minus the classic sections, and to make more stuff like Sonic Mania.

Sega doesn't own Madou Monogatari, it's owned by another company which has most of Compile's non-Puyo catalogue.

They made a new one a few years ago, it's on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/836760/Sorcery_Saga_Curse_of_the_Great_Curry_God/

It's also complete poo poo and the characters are obvious expys of Puyo characters but without things like "actual humour" or "charm".

Yes, but their actual connection to the old Compile is spurious, especially nowadays, and almost everything they've ever made is trash.

They don't own they old Compile IP, either - they're owned by a company called D4 Enterprise, so somebody else could make another Madou or whatever if they really wanted to make it happen.

It's not like Sega couldn't just make "The New Misadventures of Arle Nadja" as a first-person RPG. The characters were the best part of Madou Monogatari; they don't need to use the name.

They do character-heavy stuff with Puyo Quest on mobile, the story mode in the last 3DS game, etc. I don't think there's any desire or need to directly replicate Madou.
