Hatch Update

As our first application nears completion, the Hatch team is looking ahead to our next challenge: a game to be played on a sphere. We're quick-protoyping a few ideas, and I managed to use a discreet cell-phone camera to sneak some images past myself and post them on this blog.

This prototype is a platformer that wraps around the globe, set against stolen images from Mario 3 and starring Dotman Uglyhat, the Placeholder Hero.



That's Dotman! And here he is in his prototype adventure, Dotman Uglyhat and the Lawsuit of Miyamoto.



Dotman chills with Mario (DISCLAIMER: Mario is part of the background. You cannot chill with him).



Dotman prepares to stomp a Koopa Troopa (DISCLAIMER: background again. Do not attempt to interact with the Koopas).



Dotman readies himself to enter a pipe (DISCLAIMER: although the pipe possesses collision detection, you cannot travel through it. Also, that pipe doesn't even work in the original game, so what are you complaining about?).
