Just change it to a Pal Cube or some other shape that’s more fun than a fucking sphere. Problem solved.
ETA: Also, fuck Nintendo.
Pal pear, something that almost a sphere.
What’s the 3D version of an oval?
Pal egg
Spheroid
Because I guess Nintendo has now trademarked the act of “throwing” in a videogame
Literally, read some of their patents. Its all shit like “System For Switching From Character To Vehicle In Top-Down 2D Environment”. Like how tf can you actually patent a model and (software) controller swap? Shits basic AF I have done that before.
Patents are about how you achieve a goal, not the goal itself. You can have multiple parents on “switching for character to vehicle on top down 2D environment” as long as the means to do so are not the same.
In theory. In practice, software patents have pretty consistently been about the outcome and it’s held up in court. This expired patent on sanity systems, for example.
Sega had a patent on the transition between camera perspectives in a 3d racing game.
Everyone got around it being making the transition instantaneous.
