.TakaM I'd kill for a demo!

Also was that Stand By Me game a joke? Cause I love the idea of that.

Wow, that looks WICKED.
It'd make a great shareware or WiiWare game, if it just wasn't for the copyrights...
Can't wait to play the finished game

The only thing I dislike is the flash every time you hit an enemy...It's quite annoying and doesn't blend with the otherwise subtle look of the game at all, I think

There are plenty of ways to accomplish a similar over-the-top effect that's not as distracting. You could even keep the current effect and make it not cover the whole screen, for example by removing the black background and making the rays look less opaque, or something like that.

yah, there'll be an opacity slider for it in the options, we just haven't got around to implementing it yet.
And thanks guys

Evening fellows.

We have recently come to the conclusion to discontinue production as a fan game and are now working with a completely original design.
It will be a similar experience to what we have established so far, just we won't be restricted by trying to forge a relationship with the official franchise.

So here is the very last build of Twinsen:

It's sad to release it with flaws, but it's still worth releasing I think.
Thank you for your interest and look for us in the near future

Its great to finally play this game, it is sad to see it discontinued but I'm very interested to see what you'll do in the future.

yeah, it's sad and happy at the same time.
But ultimately it's a decision we had to make and it would've been worse if we put it off any longer.

I think the amount of effort we've put into a poorly planned game is fairly impressive, so just imagine what our new game will end up like

Wow man. Just played through it. Loved every bit. Especially the attention to detail. It could really come to live on the DS screen. Is the end part the boat btw?

Can't wait to see what else you got cooking up

Indeed, I'm excited to see what you can do with something that is well planned. I really enjoyed Twinsen.
