I've come here to talk about an idea that's inspired by the Bubsy franchise, two Rayman 4 protoypes and early development of Epic Mickey, called "Bubsy '07".
It's basically a project of mine that asks question like:
- What if Bubsy 3D was delayed to March of 2007, instead of releasing on November of 1996?
- What if Michel Ancel worked on a Bubsy game instead of Rayman?
- What if the bobcat had an earlier comeback?
- What if Infogrames had restarted development on the game with a new team?
Despite it being a promising idea, I'd prefer it to remain as an idea, because I'm cautiously optimistic for what Atari are capable of doing.
Like this concept of Bubsy's design, traced from my sketches:
P.S. This idea is also a tribute to Wade Rosen, Atari's CEO who had managed to turn the company around with reasonable business practices.
