I just have to ventilate this. I shouldn't be bothered but actually...I am. Back in 2008 I created a tribute to Rare's Banjo-Kazooie. The series was almost 10 years old and during the creation of the project Nuts and Bolts was announced. I really tried to find an original angle to the story and thought that telling the story through the eyes of Mumbo's Wand would be an original take on it.
5 years further down the line, the film still is good for asking the question if Rare's new vision on Banjo was right or not.
Last week I found out that another fangroup is creating a fan created piece of software too....and they also call it 'Mumbo's Wand"....how original is that? (link to their site)
Actually when I started digging I saw that other forumusers complained about this fact, but the creators still hold on to the name. It's such a shame because there are so many options to choose from, but hey.
I know it's only about something I was fan of, and life goes on. But I spend 6 months on that project and its originality. I got a lot of reactions from Rare and got invited to visit their studios too. But still...
Well, A friend of mine posted this story today on his website.
