The Hatchery Field Guide

The Hatchery Repair·From $39 CAD

A pet that doesn't behave, put right

For a pet you already have, made with /hatch or anywhere else, that drifts, floats, flickers or won't install. Each repair is scoped and quoted before work starts. Your original files are never changed: you get a repaired copy and a note of exactly what changed.

What a repair fixes

  • A character that changes from frame to frame
  • Animation that jerks, skips or repeats
  • Backgrounds that aren't fully transparent, or colour left under transparent pixels
  • Frames that float above, or sink below, the line the pet stands on
  • Parts cut off at the edge of a frame
  • A package Codex won't load, or a sheet of the wrong size
  • A pet that looks wrong at the size it is shown
  • A pet that won't run where you want it to

Some problems need an artist, not a repair. If yours does, you'll hear that before you pay. Send only pets you made, or have permission to change.

Repair case·Hadit | Nuit·failed

Before and after

When a task failed, Hadit | Nuit's tumble played 24 to 36 pixels above the line it stands on in every other state, so the rabbit hovered in mid-air. The Hatchery's checks found it. Each frame was lowered onto the line as a whole, and nothing was redrawn.

Both play the real sheets. The line is where Hadit | Nuit stands in every other state.
