Clearing Up Sonic Info: SHIRO MAEKAWA
As we know, Shiro Maekawa was a Writer, Game Designer, and Storyboarder for Sonic Games in the 2000's. However, many seem to no know just WHAT he wrote. So I shall provide a list.
Now, I have some notes to provide about the situations for 3 of these games (half.)
In Sonic 06, he was only a script writer. Dialouge only. Story was done by Kiyoko Yoshimura. Who wrote for Sonic X and would later go on to be the writer for Unleashed (Sonic World Adventure)
In Secret Rings, Maekawa was scenario Writer BUT the story editor and director "Yojiro Ogawa" rewrote 50% Of it. Thus, Ogawa is also the writer for secret rings. Not just Maekawa
In Riders Zero Gravity, He was only the story plotter (basically an organizer before the main scenario Writer starts writing) with the Main Scenario Writer being Masahiko Shiraishi (also from Sonic X). With help from "Hiroshi Miyamoto", The Writer from the original Sonic Riders, as Story Plotter with Mr. Maekawa. Triple Threat
There's rumors that he was also plotter on the Original Writers (with Miyamoto as Scenario Writer) including Windii saying he DM'd someone saying it but it hasn't been proven. Only the Scenario Writer (Miyamoto) was credited in the credits but Maekawa also went uncredited in the Storybook Games, but those Excluded all writers. Riders still credits a scenario writer. So it's UNCONFIRMED
Despite what many say, Shiro Maekawa didn't write for Sonic X. He was just a supervisor and occasionally gave ideas. Mainly during The Materex Saga (Season 3).

calling it right now - the last few animated releases from Disney/Pixar - lightyear, strange world, elemental, are going to end up being the "underrated experiments" of this era.

Obviously, DnD characters are wish fulfillment and lots of people don’t want to address the slow senescence of the vulnerable human form in their fun games. That being said, narratively, I do think that levels should probably fluctuate over the course of a lifetime. The level twenty world-saver is going not going to stay level twenty into their old age—that’s not how athletes and retirement work! Wisdom and Charisma casters maybe, but your STR/CON/DEX builds are going to soften with age. They might still be the spryest bastards in the old people tai chi group, but “terrifyingly in shape 70 year old” is not the same as “deadliest man on the planet”. Drop those old folks a few levels, give them some creaky bones and presbyopia. It’s good for them, promise.
