Burning questions

Convo with raptisoft

spot: Any updates on hamsterball 2?


Raptisoft: progressing well 😉 No date to announce but it's progressing well 😁
glad to hear! 😀

spot: hey, some of my friends have some questions about your games, is it okay if i run it by you?

Raptisoft: yes of course

spot: "Once you said on HB2 that, "It's also actually a little bit more like Mario64, in that you progress by solving courses-- and then re-solving them in different ways."  Could you elaborate on that a bit?"

Raptisoft: No

spot: "did you give permission to tikigames to make a ps3 version of hamsterball"

Raptisoft: yes

"Will the physics/ball handling be different in hamsterball 2"

Raptisoft: you will see hehehe

"How "modern" does it look graphics-wise, did he keep the old artstyle or are the models like fully changed, also, any new characters?"

Raptisoft: A little bit modern however we will keep the old graphics style 😉
Raptisoft: After all, Hamsterball are Hamsterball

spot: "Will the old hamsterball levels see light in hamsterball 2?"

Raptisoft: Isn't sure at this time. We think about that but we don't promise anything. 🙂 In Hoggy 2, we have put a lot of Hoggy 1 levels.
Raptisoft: But, Hamsterball 2 will have a level editor

spot: "Are there any new versions of the 8-Ball planned?"

Raptisoft: Not for now

spot: this one is a bit technical
spot: "Is the game still using killplane mechanics, or is it using impact mechanics?
spot:
spot: Is the hamsterball movement force based, or moment based?"

Raptisoft: A little bit of both

thanks a ton for the answers! also a bunch of people got the exporter/importer working and were able to make custom levels, tell me if you want me to send you the .MESHWORLD level files!

Raptisoft: yo welcome 🙂

Spot: Could you claborate on the "A little bit of both" answer? its a little confusing. Thanks!

Raptisoft: It's the same behavior than Hamsterball 1, but now, we also use some impact mechanics with new tools in game. We add new features and objects and I think you will be surprised. We can't say more at this point but stay tunned to more info soon
