Development
The game was first announced under the working title of Sonic Square in the June 2000 issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. While the previous month's issue teased a reveal of the game Sonic Adventure 2, at the last minute Sega of America deemed it too early to unveil the game, and instead allowed the magazine to do an article on the previously unannounced Sonic Square.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,... Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.””
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
