iBorg

took a break from Flutter Bombs this evening to sketch out a quick prototype for a sidescroller mech concept.

figured i’d share the experiment.

Random question about intellectual property. If I were to pursue this side-scrolling mech idea, to what extent does the mech need to differ from say a Timberwolf(MadCat) or Goliath? (aside from the fact that the central sphere in the model is a giant eyeball, hence the name iBorg) I found this thread:

but was wondering how games like starcraft (their Goliath) or hawken dealt with the original content created by the mechwarrior team?

A roughed out level for a platform game with some additional functionality programmed into the iBorg.
