Sonic 3 level designer working on Sonic 4

This is what I needed to hear. This statement helps to make me a bit more confident in Sonic the Hedgehog 4…

So, is it just Dimps? Just Sonic Team? The answer is a bit of both: Yes, Dimps is working on the game. But there’s actually more to it than just that: at the same time, we also have members of Sonic Team, including the original senior level designer from Sonic 3 & Knuckles on the SEGA Genesis working alongside them. It is most definitely a partnership, and the result of this teamwork is something many of us are excited for. - SEGA of America Community Manager RubyEclipse

Sonic 3 happens to be my favorite Sonic title of all-time, just barely edging out Sonic CD. I know it’s a tad silly to think that one man can steer an entire game in the right direction, but I’m hoping the Sonic 3 staffer can at least help out.
