fed claude outer wilds and sonic adventure as a test.
it couldnt find any tools for sadx so i was surprised it was able to prod the raw files and extract some models and animations then slap then in a rudimentary character controller. even though it got some animations wrong lmao.
you can still fly the ship and talk to npcs if you take out the scope.
would probably do it way better if it had either a proper codebase or mod tools for sadx.
it took it 2 hours on claude code opus 5.5 high.
Sonic is on Timber Hearth
Wake up at the campfire as Sonic, the real Sonic from your own copy of Sonic Adventure DX, and run your loop of Outer Wilds at Sonic speed.
- SADX's Sonic in third person. His model, textures and animations (idle, walk, jog, run, crouch, spring, fall) and his spin ball are read from your SADX install every time you play.
- Sonic's moves. Run up to 14 m/s, spin-jump with Jump, and hold Thrust Down (Ctrl) to rev a spin dash, then release to blast off.
- Real SADX rings. 47 gold rings in trails, jump arcs, circles and a column around the village crater, up on the ridge and out on the rim. They use SADX's own ring model, and you hear SADX's ring chime when you grab one.
- Rings protect you. Holding rings, a hit scatters them instead of hurting you. Grab them back before they blink out. A lethal hit still counts.
- SADX's own HUD and music. The ring counter uses SADX's ring icon and digits. Emerald Coast plays while you're on foot on a planet.
- Beat your best. Your best ring count is saved per profile. How many can you hold when the sun goes supernova?
Take out a tool (Signalscope, Translator, Scout launcher) and the view switches to first person, then comes back when you put it away. Ships, the map and conversations behave as normal.
You need
- Outer Wilds (Steam, 1.1.16)
- Sonic Adventure DX (Steam). Nothing from SADX is included: the mashup reads Sonic, the rings, the sounds and the music from your own copy while it runs.
Solo play.
