My fellow Americans,

It’s me … SackBoy! Now that you can go pickup LittleBigPlanet in your local retailer, I can take on other matters that are important to me other than playing, creating and sharing! So I wanted to take this opportunity to bring your attention to a worthwhile cause.

Well, as you know it’s election season here and it’s not all about Democrats and Republicans. There are bigger issues going on and I need YOU to get involved!

I hope everyone is excited for Halloween, I know I am. To help you get into the mood we’ve got some spooky Sonic Unleashed updates in both website and video form. Our US Sonic Unleashed website has seen a small makeover to show off some Halloween flair, I won’t spoil it for you, but do check it out for yourself! Next, we have a special teaser trailer for our upcoming CG movie, Night of the Werehog! The teaser is … well, a teaser. Look for the full movie soon.

Outside of Halloween-y updates, we’ve got two new Sonic Unleashed trailers going up today for Wii and Next Gen systems. The videos feature new footage from Chu-nan and Mazuri levels with both Sonic and the Werehog. Check em out on our Youtube page! (currently uploading, check back shortly!)

Lastly, we’ll have another blog going up today talking about the Hedgehog engine, written by Yoshihisa Hashimoto, the Project Lead for Sonic Unleashed. It’s a great read and we’ve even got some special screenshots showing off the Hedgehog engine in action.

Hello to all Sonic fans!
My name is Yoshihisa Hashimoto and I am the project leader of “Sonic Unleashed” in the Sonic Team, Sega’s development studio in Japan. While managing the production of the Sonic Unleashed as a Game Director and Lead Game Designer, I also supervise, as Technical Director, the Hedgehog Engine which is critical in ensuring the high quality graphic images of Sonic Unleashed

In this 2nd issue of the Developer’s Diary, I am going to introduce you to the following topics.
* Sonic Unleashed which made a big advance in Sonic game play
*”Hedgehog Engine” which generates beautiful and impressive graphic images

Zombies, Brains, and Halloween - three great tastes that go great together… (If you’re one of the undead, anyway.)
