Imaginators 3Ds leak?

Happy New Year! And with this new year we have Skylanders Imaginators for the 3Ds?! Well, actually I just worked a little too hard on a prank...

I modelled the banner and made the icon but not much else. Actually, I modelled the text, and retextured, posed, and heavily modified King Pen's Ring of Heroes model. I retextured the whole thing to avoid suspicions of using any other model, and also to make it look more '3Ds-like'.

The model has to be one mesh and use only one texture. Which resulted in the end result texture looking like this.

I'm pretty proud of this project in general actually!

"What about the application itself?" That was all done by Maff, a programmer in the Skylanders community who works on multiple fangames! (a few of which I have also been a part of, but have left for various reasons.)

This just kinda spawned as a joke from somebody saying their favourite Skylanders game was Imaginators 3Ds, I thought that was funny, and thus became this. The fact that there would be a leaked beta is inconceivable but I wanted to see what the community would believe after all these years, and if they would actually believe that the game was planned.

After doing this I made the Reddit post and waited a few days to see what would come from it.

It turns out most people played along with the joke. And some unfortunate people asked for downloads or a dumped rom. It doesn't load anything but a blue screen but they don't know that. I lied about file size and other junk, "yeah a friend sent it to me".

Well happy 2024! Personally I'm having a crisis over this... 2024 already? Trap Team turns 10 this year-

Thank you for reading and I hope you stick with me through 2024!
