I didn't know anything like this actually existed. Here's their keynote flash file:
www.geocities.com/brick_toppp/epoch.html
... which purposes mocks and exaggerates Epoch's best "features."
I don't bring this up for flame-wars or anything. Actually, I'm laughing my ass off. :D It's neat to see my work skewed so badly. Now, they seem to have derived a series of gross-out mocking Sonic toons that just use the name thereafter, since I haven't found any other direct Epoch (game) references in the few I could force myself to watch. They also have a forum that apparently engaged in a lot of SatAM character mocking as well. (Just saying I have no doubt about the origin of their name, though they didn't continue with it any way I can tell, which makes me kind of disappointed...)
sonicepoch.tk/ - Main site, several videos on Newgrounds under the name "Sonic Epoch"
Did anyone else know about this? Am I seriously being mocked or was this a joke I missed out on?
More Google Goodies:
"... the sad thing is that the 2-D age is dead and only lives through aging consoles and emulators. A 2-D Sonic game would be awesome, but Sega would probably screw it up somehow. They've had a way with doing that lately. I'd like to see a decent 2-D Sonic game based on SatAM, not like the abyssmal Sonic Epoch homebrew demo for the GBA." -- Tidus, www.1up.com/do/club?clubid=14113
"Sonic Epoch is a fan-made Sonic game 4 years in the making. It's got bad graphics and gameplay, and angst-ridden cut-scenes that are longer than the levels themselves. The only Sonic game where Tails repeatedly drops the f-bomb." -- www.portalofevil.com/single.php?poeurlid=31727
Of course, there are also praise sites here and there, but that's no fun, is it? :P

... or perhaps not. (Seriously, that actually probably would suck due to the amount of exposure.) I'm not worried about this because even GBA Epoch is so far behind the times. I just haven't had a chance to show up with something new and cool besides the screenshot/picture in the one Show Off thread. My plan for my next engine to have an integrated cinematics creator/format (imagine the possiblities going 3D) should be pretty nice anyway. It also means I can give my cinematic work to more talented people. ;P
I'm not a music writer of any sort.
