3 game demos would be shown which the first was the main portion of the game that was made by Senn and Ofer and ported to the Saturn by POV, the second would be Christina Coffin's boss engine, and the third would be Senn and Ofer's (Sonic PC) pitch.

Alon was not done though as he and Chris Senn would continue to work on the PC version of Sonic X-treme hoping to release as a new Sonic title for PC which the named was referred to (Sonic PC) and it would be published by SegaSoft. POV's work for the next few months would be them trying to port an older, more stable version of Alon's game engine for the Saturn. Around this time, the team also got news that POV would be assuming all major programming duties which meant Alon Ofer was effectively getting demoted and removed from the project. A meeting in March, 1996 from a team of Sega management was also planned and they would decide the fate of Sonic X-treme. They were brought on board to help due to them knowing a lot about the Saturn hardware, however the game still wasn't at the FPS level the team desired. Around this time Robert Morgan who was the programming director of the team, took the game engine to an external programming house known as Point of View Inc. Attempts would also be made to port Alon's Sonic X-treme engine over to the Saturn which the results were disasterous.

January - Chris Senn would become ill but he would push through it and continue to get work done.

X-treme also now had a deadline of Christmas 1996.

December - The game would have 8 different storylines planned with one ultimately being chosen and used in the marketing for the game.

November-December - The Sonic X-treme development team would split into two groups, with Group A (Chris Senn and Ofer Alon) working on the main portion on the game, and Group B (Christina Coffin and the rest of the team members) would work on the boss levels and assets.

When ported to the Saturn, the engine ran at a terrible performance (3 frames per second).

He would have to port code of his engine over to Saturn which he was not familiar with developing on a game console.

November? - One of the new programmers added to the team at the time (Ofer Alon) decides to work from home on the PC version of Sonic X-treme which would result in the v001 build.

The team at the time had 9 artists/animators, 4 programmers, 3 designers, 1 composer, and an executive producer. Autumn - Chris Senn becomes lead designer of Sonic 32x and changes direction of the project to be on the Saturn and the project gets renamed to Sonic X-treme.

This can be considered a placeholder for the eventual full documentation of Sonic X-treme as a whole, I do not wish for my efforts to go to waste. Sonic X-treme (Saturn and PC) Development Timeline

The PC builds only supported Windows 95 and the Nvidia NV1 video card, so Jollyroger modified the builds to render in OpenGL for better compatibility. In 2014, ASSEMblergames user Jollyroger found a set of data discs that belonged to the Point of View studio, which included early PC builds of Sonic X-treme, level editors, and an unseen prototype made by Point of View dated July 14, 1996. The cancellation of X-treme is widely considered a large reason for the Saturn's commercial failure outside Japan (Sonic wasn't as popular in his home country at the time, so the lack of a 3D Sonic game wasn't a big concern there).ДЄ disc containing an early Saturn tech demo was discovered in 2005 and released to the public on July 17, 2007. Sonic X-treme was intended to be the first 3D Sonic game (it would've preceded Sonic Adventure by two years), developed from concepts stretching back to the Genesis era, but ran into a myriad of development problems that culminated in its cancellation in August 1996 the Saturn port of Sonic 3D Blast was released in its place. This game was never completed and/or given a public release.ДЄs a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.
