The anthropomorphic, striped cat-like creature seen on Traveller's Tales' original company logo was originally going to be the main playable protagonist of this game, but was replaced with a more human looking protagonist instead due to pressure from Activision, who were originally the publishers for Haven during development, until Midway came in and took their place.
This game was supposed to be part of a trilogy and there were also xbox, gamecube and game boy advance ports on the way. However, due to poor sales, both the sequels and console ports were cancelled.
