[minor zenith]

abstraction games ported it

[buoyant gulch]

Did they get Rovio’s permission to port it

[minor zenith]

[buoyant gulch]

Angry Birds 2 is the sequel right?

[minor zenith]

it's the one we got

[buoyant gulch]

[minor zenith]

here's an altered early title screen

[buoyant gulch]

It looks reversed

[minor zenith]

Mighty Eagle had a alternate version called future eagle in seasons but was cancelled

[minor zenith]

Yep

[robust bluff]

Nice!

[minor zenith]

[minor zenith]

crazy taxi classic was also on hatch

[buoyant gulch]

What’s crazy taxi Classic

[minor zenith]

a port of a sega game for mobile

[buoyant gulch]

Gotcha

[dense sun]

Here is how the code plays out, the sprites are placeholders.

This is what was found.
According to sprite names:
the sardine is supposed to be an antenna,
the giant blue with egg is supposed to be a lightning bolt,
mighty eagle is supposed to be the future eagle,
the black feathers are supposed to be future eagle particles (unknown what they actually are)

other:
the level end screen had a sprite for a lightning bolt, however it's missing. (would work the same way as an eagle feather)
it's only enabled in season 2012, season 2011 uses mighty eagle
other than the above, there are more missing UI sprites, see them in image 1
original audio names in image 2

Bomb in the angry birds lore is shown to be an artist.

[buoyant gulch]

How do you have that version of AB Seasons HD

[minor zenith]

Here’s which games are forked of what game

[minor zenith]

[minor zenith]

and he's gone

[minor zenith]

#rovio-general-chat-💬 message

[minor zenith]

her's red made for the japanese market

[terse halo]

Angry birds classic (1.0 - 1.6.3.1) is better than the original half life lol

[terse halo]

Not true because those triangle blocks didn’t exist in 1.0, they were probably using poached eggs backgrounds as placeholders. None of the screenshots have the 2nd pe theme so there’s that I guess

Angry birds was never originally going to have 105 levels

[minor zenith]

according to another server, there is

[minor zenith]

100*

[terse halo]

Ok then

[dapper wraith]

I kneel

[dense sun]

Here it is in HD

[dapper wraith]

This is not a fact

[dusk crystal]

Oh

[minor zenith]

This is from an earlier prototype than the ones found

[minor zenith]

Most early space levels used bomb when prototyping for space

[robust bluff]

That looks very cool!

Can I ask for the source of this image?

[minor zenith]

https://jeremycardarelli.com/pitch-designs

[minor zenith]

Terence was designed before hal

All the birds might have been based on red at some point

[minor zenith]

https://www.vadimbazhanov.com/#/rovio/ here's some early storyboards

[minor zenith]

early chuck and the blues have feathers that are red's and one of bomb's designs have the spots that red has

[minor zenith]

rovio still has fusion/ka3d but doesn't use it

[minor zenith]

the big setup is a joke about terence in which levels he was gonna be in

[minor zenith]

sonic had a plush for the pitch

[minor zenith]

Silver was red during development of ab2

[minor zenith]

Fusion was first used in ab space 1.3.1

[marble vigil]

reportedly, a new app icon is being rolled out for angry birds pop. The new icon in question contains a seemingly AI generated eagle costume.

[rigid herald]

WHY DO COMPANIES HAVE TO USE AI WHEN CLEARLY THEY HAVE ARTISTS?!?! I HATE THIS!!! 😭😭😭

[minor zenith]

Mighty Eagle SDK was a kit in which you could add mighty eagle to games? what the?

[graceful stone]

Let me guess, using AI is more cost effective than human labor. Sad but true.

[minor zenith]

launch it was developed by the devs of dead by daylight

the telepod test app was made with the same engine used by geometry dash

[minor zenith]

Ka3d started as Cat Mother 3D Engine

[minor zenith]

com.rovio.clubhouse was an app with unknown functions and angry birds dev tool was for testing the apptivity king pig

[minor zenith]

space sheep from website

[modern hawk]

Angry birds made the pigs green because of the swine flu turning the pigs skin green if infected

[minor zenith]

No

The pigs are green as Jaako created them green as a child

[buoyant gulch]

But the wiki said the pigs were green cause of the swine flu and I believe the wiki

[minor zenith]

The wiki pulled info from an interview with a webgame developer, not Jaako

[buoyant gulch]

Did Jaako confirm the reason why the pigs were green

[minor zenith]

He made them green as a kid

[buoyant gulch]

Oh gotcha

[bleak bison]

Jesus is canon to the angry birds universe

[minor zenith]

may have found a person from chillingo that playtested ab classic

[minor zenith]

Hal’s gameplay was altered alot

[minor zenith]

rovio ceo in a sega video (next to the person that has tails face mask)

[bleak bison]

The one in the stella jacket

Yep

[minor zenith]

king pig's full name might be King Rupert Smooth Cheeks

[minor zenith]

red and colonel sanders nearly were added to tekken 7

[minor zenith]

the egg's names are pip, frank, and gertrude

[bleak bison]

Where did you even get that

[minor zenith]

here's what red wants to name them

[minor zenith]

there's a cancelled game called project bats

[minor zenith]

Am moving all cancelled games to my fan club

[minor zenith]

there is a version of ross that lives with social red

[minor zenith]

the flappy bird creator was at roviocon 2017

[craggy birch]

Fun fact: Rovio ownes a game called "Battle Bay" which is a strategy-based game. (rly fun btw)

[minor zenith]

AB Space was pitched by rovio to NASA, there a remains of levels that were used in the pitch

[bleak bison]

Wait so those levels are real? I don't really understand

[minor zenith]

yea, there's also remains of the pitch for absw

[bleak bison]

Man i wanna see em

[minor zenith]

don't believe we have them

[bleak bison]

Aw

[minor zenith]

here's some data, funny how they reminded themselves to not use finnish

[bleak bison]

Hey I can actually read it

[minor zenith]

earliest known level created after space was forked from rio

[minor zenith]

[robust bluff]

Very interesting

[minor zenith]

Paul Tolin, who was involved with the darkhorse pvz comics wrote some of the idw angry birds comics

[minor zenith]

concept art with a suspicously looking kombo blue design

[bleak bison]

Wait really?

[minor zenith]

yes

the ceo thought that abba was short for angry birds battle arena

[bleak bison]

[minor zenith]

Ab epic wasn’t supposed to be a ab related game at all

[bleak bison]

Glad it was

[minor zenith]

Fusion is the fusion of ka3d and kacore

[minor zenith]

Sonic Dash main menu theme is a remix of sonic jump's blue sky zone theme

[minor zenith]

the prototype uses the java version funnily enough

[minor zenith]

there are 5 known versions of Ka3D

[minor zenith]

Sonic 4 Episode II was part of Hatch

[karmic tartan]

I feel like most spin off games are 😭 (fight, epic, blast, ace, islands) like these games feel like mobile games with angry birds slapped on it afterwards

they weren't developed by rovio so it makes sense why

tho didn't ab epic have prototypes back in 2012 which used the classic designs? was it not a ab game when it began development or is this claim outdated?

[minor zenith]

we don't know if it was in development before it was an ab game

[karmic tartan]

any more info?

[karmic tartan]

wait fr? thought only classic, sapce, bp hd and stella existed with rio and go never making it to the platform before it was shutdown

[minor zenith]

mighty eagle would've had an origin story with him being a outcast of the eagles

[minor zenith]

yea, most of the hatch versions are lost though

[karmic tartan]

damn that's a ironic weird reference 😭

[karmic tartan]

ah thought we had all the ones that came out, guess were missing two

I'm assuming rio would've been nothing special but go is unfortunate

[minor zenith]

hatch wasn't just for ab, it was for all sorts of games

[karmic tartan]

I know

https://youtu.be/twCXKi20Jtg?si=yq77941OJ33IWBWP found this trailer for go

I'm guessing hatch closed down shortly after and we never did get the new characters as a result

[minor zenith]

angry birds seasons nearly had a collab with madagascar 3

[karmic tartan]

yeah I learned that cuz the dev of textureening posted about it on his community tabs

I think it was what piglatias was gonna be

werid they chose to oringal collab with seasons and not rio

am I dumb or wasn't madagascar also created by blue sky?

[minor zenith]

dreamworks

[karmic tartan]

ah nvm makes sense why

[minor zenith]

ab next would've likely been the 15th anniversary game

[karmic tartan]

what's ab next?

[minor zenith]

it's a game that would be on console

[minor zenith]

Both the knuckles series and sonic x shadow generations dark beginnings were made with blender

The inspiration for ab2’s music was rayman origins

[minor zenith]

ka3d started as a engine for the xbox

[minor zenith]

Rovio had a original animated mini-series called cuppy and it was planned to have a game

[minor zenith]

Test animations for piggy tales

[terse halo]

How did they do this?

[minor zenith]

they looked at animations with similar artstyles

Rio has a level called king of the hill and a level with a train in it, it could be remains of a 3rd game before it was reworked into rio

[minor zenith]

the early toons rigs were made by the cofounder of kombo (rovio animation)

[minor zenith]

ab epic was nearly a differenyt game called 100 heroes

[minor zenith]

abba has a build somewhere in rovio and in 2013, there was a hidden page for ab2

[rustic wyvern]

Fun fact
Piggy tales s2 is the only season to not have a alien episode

[tropic dawn]

This is so cursed 💀

[tropic dawn]

Is it cancelled?

[minor zenith]

It’s unconfirmed if it’s canceled

[tropic dawn]

I have it!

[tropic dawn]

So they might be still working on it then. I hope that's the case...

[robust bluff]

I also hope it's not cancelled
