Introducing Stan

He's a rubberband man, literally. Join Stan in his wacky adventures to escape an amazing house using his unique rubberband abilities. You'll leap high over counters, bounce wildly off lights, and battle invading ants. But don't worry, Stan has the moves.

Currently under development, Stan has been submitted to the International Mobile Gaming Awards. You may download the Project Summary in .doc format. The release date is targeted for February.


Features
  • 3D graphics (Direct3D mobile, JSR 184 and Mascot Capsule v3)
  • Heavy use of physics as Stan bounces about striking and moving other objects
  • Stan's rubberband-like spline motions permit huge variety in his appearance
  • Bluetooth multiplayer combat mode lets you rubberband battle against a friend
  • Catchy music and sounds

Stan is not a traditional animated model; rather he is a small collection of control points that a cubic b-spline is interpolated through. This gives him nearly unlimited flexibility (so to speak) in assuming shapes. Wait till you see the stunts he can pull! Using optimal algorithms ensures stan's motions remain smooth even on lower-end handsets.
