People have being asking multiple times about this, so it's time I pin a comment saying it, this has being thrown onto indefinite hiatus alongside everything else I never finished, due to me not being happy with how it was turning out all out and due to me having lost pretty much all of my motivation for most of my mod projects. For other reasons why other mod projects were axed, check this thread over on my Twitter: twitter.com/Knuxfan24/status/1095129364096868352

I love the whole “Blast To Past” thing, even with Sonic’s old voice echoing.

I've seen plenty of mods for Forces, but this... _this_ is something else.

i love that infinite is even showing soleanna a place he shouldn’t remember anymore

Maybe call it Null Space - Twisted Memory?

“Of course I’m me. Just like how you’re you.” I would’ve liked if she’d continued with “You ARE you, right Shadow?” Then Infinite brings him to some weird illusion where he fights himself, and it’s all trying to get inside his head and mess with him, to get back at that doubt within Shadow’s mind about who he was from Heroes and STH

wow this is an amazing concept for a level...i can't wait till you decide it's ready for release i wanna do a video on it soo badly.

As i have mentioned previously, i love the idea and concept of this. Already better than Sonic Team’s idea of going ‘Green Hill with Cubes’. It’s awesome to see many different sections of different stages to represent Shadow’s past. Seeing Kingdom Valley in Null Space reminds me a lot of End of the World, where Shadow goes thru Kingdom Valley to collect the Chaos Emerald, which i’m sure why you choose it for that special reason. Would be really cool if you add End of the World for Kingdom Valley, just to nail it on the head 😄 Keep up the great work and looking forward to the final release 😁

Hey, look! It's Sonic X Shadow Generations!!

Ok, this... this should’ve been a level that we wanted than the virtual reality green hill in Episode Shadow. Man, if Sonic Team should have spend 2 or 3 years than 1 year of making actual levels of the game. It would have made Forces interesting. Better backstory, nostalgia levels, and characters development for the characters.

1:48 Suddenly, Jason Griffith

Now we're getting this in an official capacity... I wonder if Shadow Generations was actually inspired by this.

This is officially canon

why is this better than the dlc holy shit...

Woah, this is neato, even has some memory dialogue. Still, the "take notes sega plox" comments are obnoxious, even a year later they still act melodramatic.

interesting how shadow can see through infinites illusions. they should have kept this dialogue in game and made a longer level and actually capitalised on it

Sonic Team, please just patch in the drift already.

Dude, youre a Time Traveler (Sonic x Shadow Generations)

Wow! This has way more story and atmosphere than anything in the game! This is fantastic! And the transitions are on point!

Imagine if the Null Space level had randomised sequences, say for example in one playthrough Infinite teleports you to the OG White Jungle, Radical Highway, and Metropolis, maybe in each playthrough it would send you to a randomised level each varying in order and what section of the level you spawn in.

Apollo bestowing the gift of prophecy:

Without the drift and a proper camera, it feels very difficult to play...

In my opinion, it's not finished. You must work on many aspects here. But the concept is great. I love it. In my opinion, you should put the music which represents the level. I wish you good luck with this stage.

This fan creation interests me more than any official stage in Sonic Forces.

That's how you make throwbacks! I actually like how contextualized this is. How the dialogue acrually builds up more tension and contributes to the mystery.

This is so cool. Sonic Team, hire this man and give him a raise

This is what null space should of been! If the game revolved around this sonic and shadow going through the past making infinite seem more powerful and godly then he was in sonic forces

I have an idea, what if this stage start with the real Null Space that Sonic and the Avatar found themselves in and the same things happen but instead of getting out of it like Sonic and the Avatar did, Shadow is teleported to Prison Island and the other stage. That way using the Null Space music would fit and it would contrast with Sonic's and the Avatar's Null Space level. To add some suggestions hope you make this stage with the vanilla physics in mind because the platforming in Dusty Desert seems complicated and I don't personally don't like that physics mod and I kinda wish you don't rely on sections that you need the boost to reach it.

Already: Ideas of this mod > Forces Sega/Sonic Team don't know what they're even doing for this series anymore.

Bro predicted Sonic x Shadow Generations 💀💀💀

I just had good chills when the exchange between Sonic and Shadow took place

It's impressive the ideas fans have for mods especially ones like this, this is really cool, I wish Sonic Team would put in a little more effort to making creative stuff like this, Matter of fact I wish they would make a new adventure style game with multiple characters

I love the idea and concept of this. The dialogue fits so well and it all feels like a proper story is being told throughout the level, which makes a nice change from mindlessly boosting through various iterations of Green Hill.

1:05 - dimps should be proud (?)

This is actually really cool. Trapped in a maze of memories with no obvious way out, with no choice but to push forward. Honestly, this level could serve as an explanation as to where the hell Shadow was up until his appearance in Forces. It'd also explain how he knows how Infinite works, having truly experienced it first hand, not that fake Green Hill stupidity. I really liked the way you used assets from previous games to make the stage. It just shows old doesn't nean bad.

I really hope you feel like returning to this mod someday because the concept is FANTASTIC. Way better then what this stage was in the actual Episode Shadow, of course if you don't want to that's perfectly understandable!!!!

A very neat concept! I said it before and I'll say it again: Brandon Jones, Infinite Force, and KnuxFan24 should've been Sonic Team's 3 level designers (Hell even Level conceptualizers (I don't care if that's not a word I can't think of any other word to use) considering some of the cool ideas I've seen them pull of.), they know how to make something pretty creative with gameplay that's pretty limited.

Knuckles: Kingdoms Valley ARE YOU CRAZY ???

I thought the beginning was crazy enough but wow. Just wow. This is awesome! So many callbacks to Shadow's past. 10/10 mod

This just makes me want Shadow the Hedgehog on Steam so we can finally mod it

I honestly love this, although it feels like there are a bit too many different stages represented that just adds to Shadow's confusion which would be Infinite's intention. I really like this concept.

I think during some particular platforming parts, there should be some of those red energy cubes from Virtual Reality (if they can be added in 3D that is). Also the platforming in Dusty Desert feels a little shallow, there’s only one path to take and most of it just platforming on flat squares over a bottomless pit, which doesn’t really fit well in a Sonic game. Maybe you could add more paths or moving platforms, or maybe make the cube platforms giant pillars by extending them down into the abyss. These are just some suggestions to make the level design a little more organic.

This is definitely a great idea with Episode Shadow. A stroll down memory lane but more dangerous because of Infinite.

Hmm, I mean it’s looking pretty good, but I think some of the stages that have been recently added don’t really feel appropriate. If this sequence is supposed to be Infinite tormenting Shadow, showing him past events in his life that were important, then I think stages like Kingdom Valley and Westopolis don’t really need to be here. Most of the other stages do hold relevance in Shadow’s history (Iron Jungle - Facility he was kept in for 50 years, Dusty Desert - Place where he defeated Mephilis and accepted his future, Space Gadget - Aboard the A.R.K the place he was created, Radical Highway - Where he met Sonic and The Last Way - Where he defeated Black Doom and learnt the answers of his past), levels like Kingdom Valley and Westopolis don’t really seem like levels that hold any relevance in Shadow’s history, in fact one stage I think you could add that does hold relevance to Shadow’s history is Final Fortress where they discovered all of the Shadow androids.

So uhhhhhhhhh...... *WHEN IS THIS DLC GONNA DROP CAUSE THE ONE SEGA GAVE US ISN'T CONSIDERED A DLC*

It would be crazy if you put Lost Impact and Maria speaks. That would be a heartbreaker, especially if it is a final stage you warp to. Either way, this is amazing, like beyond amazing.

BOI! What a showcase. I'm so ready for the final product of your version of Episode Shadow. I really love it.

Hmm ... That reminds me of the Kingdom of the Wind The Castle Valley from Sonic 06. I watched it when I once teleported to the past. By the way, keep in mind that in Null Space there is nothing but only my energy cubes. Still, I like what I see now. Not Bad.

You recreated the first level of Shadow the Hedgehog? props to you. That was quite a pleasant surprise for me to see it again.

The concept of this Null Space is probably the most unique thing I’ve seen in a long time. Great job!

this is such a cool stage concept, i love it.

You need to be hired on by Sega, if you were given all of those resources, you could give us possibly the greatest 3-D Sonic game ever. And that is not an exaggeration, you’ve done everything so well here!

I am not gonna lie, if it wasn’t for Forces’s horrible controls this would be an amazing Stage to play through.

Ok, so, this is beautiful

You missed White Jungle, its always my favorite stage from Shadow playthrought in SA2 XDD but this ammount of stages all stacked together to form a mega stage? i think its enough XDD Its a very good idea making shadow go from illusion to illusion from parts of his past, and its more fitting because he barely remembers any of them so it only make sense for shadow to "follow the lead" since this could uncover more secrets from his past, also Infinite appearing at the end of each section changing the illusion to confuse you even more its quite the nice touch. But the detail i loved the most was that Jason Griffith bit there in that SA2 section and how confused Shadow was to hear that, like deep down he knew that part of his past really well and caught him off guard, that right there is real attention to detail, and i love those bits of details because it makes more believable the characters in the long run, something that Forces should had instead of focusing on being "too edgy" for its own good. A thing you could do is making Infinite fly by on each part of the stage and each time you see him flying by he summons enemies on the area, dunno if that's possible at the moment but it could be a neat thing to see, if not he just flying by like messing with shadow could be cool like the avatar Metropolitan Highway stage where he appears now and then chasing the avatar and looking it from a distance, that could add a more gloom and eerie vibe to the whole thing.

Love the concept! How infinite toys with Shadow by bringing him to different places of his past. Great concept for a level! Nice work!

this is an example of what sonic forces should be

Most impressive proofs of concept. Never would I have ever thought I'd see the day for those stages to ever appear again. The black comet was just an instant mind blower. I was like YUUUUSHHH!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Hope one day some how some way this stuff sees the light of day.

This is how the final Episode Shadow level should’ve happened, showing Shadow’s past memories and twisted them in Infinite’s image, NOT GREEN HILL ZONE.

Such a cool idea warping through shadow's levels in previous games.

It looks so much better than what we got in the real version

That's really good, for one it's an actual area for Null Space to be useful and a love how it's all about shadow's past

This is what the entirety of sonic forces should of consisted of, stuff like this, this is a tribute to a gaming legend, well done

If I was part of the design crew, I’d have Shadow start in Radical Highway (Rouge contacts Shadow), then transition to Final Chase (when Shadow believes it’s all an illusion), then maybe Rail Canyon/Bullet Station (when Shadow asks what happened to Omega), Westopolis (when Shadow questions if he’s really speaking to Rouge), and finally back to the city when Omega was last heard (“I am not weak. I AM NOT WEAK. I AM NOT WEAK.”)

Holy crap, this is actually really cool! Way better than just "Green Hill but cubes"

Even though this level on a technical level isn't finished, I do love the idea that you're going for here. Exploring more into what the Phantom Ruby truly can do and calling back to earlier games to see how the boost formula works with them. I admire that.

....woahh... This is... Prison island... ...now it's dusty desert... Final chase, radical highway... is that lost kingdom and mystic mansion? ...ok, this is actually a lot more what I'd imagine null space to be: A prison of your own memories with no end

man i love the idea of shadow being teleported to places in the past by infinite

Although this project will most likely never see the light of day, this is absoulutley amazing.

Fans on their way to make forces a good game...again

See Sega, now THIS is how you do bringing back old levels right.

Man I love this idea !! It makes the game more entertaining to watch about stories. Keep it up

Dude, this is looking epic. I can't wait to try it once you're ready to release it.

I'm really liking this tbh, great work!! :D

What really makes me impressed is Sonic's custom dialogue tree. This "Twisted Memory" level really seems like a hell for Shadow, Infinite trying to ruin his character ark by reminding him of all the games in it.

Me before: this is probably gonna be boring Me when I hear Jason Griffith’s Sonic: OMFG THIS IS AWESOME

I do admire the ambition behind this little project

After this, I wish Shadow had a bigger roll in the game. I still think Forces was good of course.

Amazing, this is the true virtual reality level

Sonic Forces: The semi-return of Jason

This is incredible. It still needs the proper section transitions and modes of travel implemented of course, but you know... there's just something downright HAUNTING and unsettling about roaming through these places without any enemies, and only having to deal with stage hazards. It's so unsettling. Perhaps there also really outta be a Heroes stage and/or something from the Space Colony ARK in here somewhere...!

This is absolutely amazing, I love the stages your using.

"Of course I'm me! Just like how you're you" *Shadow Androids from Sonic Heroes and Shadow the Hedgehog exist*

This is nothing short of phenomenal, I can't wait to play this when it's done!

I MUST see more of this!

Once I get good at Unreal, can I remake this concept? For example, here is the sequence: Mystic Jungle. Where it all began. Dusty Desert: His final fight with Mephiles. Last Way: Black Doom The Eggman base he was taken to. The area in the ARK where he and Sonic. White Jungle The place he was held at for 50 years. And finally, the moment Maria died, only this time, Infinite does the killing.

NO WAYYYYYYY DUUUDE THIS IS AWESOME

I like the additional dialogue. I also love the use of the other terrains here soo cool it gives us a longer better stage and more reason for shadow to have been out of comission so long despite realizing he was in illusions if sonic and avatar character get out of null space so fast

Great job Man. This mod looks amazing

Ok seriously, this is pretty cool and I really wish that a level like this would be in the game

I love this version of your null space. Travelling through shadows past would really mess with him. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this

Dude, that line from Sonic really drives home the weird, creepy vibe that this mod level brings. It’s amazing.

Ugh, the beginning of this level, why does that image haunt me? Seriously though, its really cool that you made the beginning look like the beginning of a stage from shadow the hedgehog.

i love this level, this feels fast-paced like the normal forces level. Unlike other mods who just take what forces has to offer and throw it away.

i didnt know it was originally sonic x shadow forces lmao

I love how you bring in different games into this level! From 06 to Adventure! Though the glitches really confuse me when he jumps and reaches some unknown place

Chaos T Pose!!!

This’s one of the best mods I’ve seen so far...I can’t wait to see this finished

One of the most amazing Forces mods

This looks like a much better episode shadow stage 3. Better that green hill act 277. I'd love to see the finished version
