Headcannon Inc. is an independent American video game development company founded by Sonic scene members Simon Thomley and Christian Whitehead, most known for creating the first fan-developed Sonic the Hedgehog game - Sonic Mania.[2]

Company

After Christian Whitehead collaborated with Sega to release Sonic the Hedgehog CD (2011), the programmer was granted a close relationship with the company and was able to discuss bringing previous collaborator and fellow programmer Simon Thomley into his next project as a co-developer. Thomley subsequently registered Headcannon as a legal business in November 2012 in preparation for the iOS and Android rerelease of Sonic the Hedgehog (2013) - the title became the first game developed under the Headcannon name. This was immediately followed by Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2013) later that year.

Headcannon was officially incorporated on October 1, 2021[3] in preparation for the studio's upcoming game Pier Pressure.
