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
Ok guys, we've almost got the second demo ready, so I thought I might as well start a development topic for Twinsen here to hopefully get a little bit more interest in Twinsen during the week or so until the demo is ready

I've just about finished Zoe's sprite for the opening cutscene:

Just need to make her open a door and jump in

Same with Baldino:

He'll be wandering level 1 and when you find him, he'll wave, and invite you to his house, still need to make him animated to open a door

also, I got a little feedback on a Pixel art forum, here's how the game actually looks:

(I just threw in some extra characters so they could see them together)

and one dude did a rough paint over of what he'd suggest:

It's got me wanting to do an overhaul, but I'll only start that once we've got the demo out

P.S.
for those of you who don't really know about my game, I uploaded a 30 second trailer a week or two ago:

I like what I see.

Let me just say that one of the main attractions is the 16bit look of the game.

The guy that the rough paint-over did a good job, but I'd hate to see you overhaul with his ideas. The 16bit look is wonderful.

Thanks for creating this game!

As usual, TakaM's work has me all giddy.
I can't wait for Twinsen, and I think Taka's one of the most brilliant pixel artists I've ever seen.

I saw Baldino like 3 days ago and it was love at first sight.
And about the proposed style change, well it wouldn't be Twinsen anymore

Great work, looking forward to the demo (I've still got that really short demo somewhere...).

Any word about how you worked out those plot issues you posted before?

you guys really wouldn't want more detail to the dirt, and some variations to the trees?
If I did it, it wouldn't look messy, it would still look nice and pixelled.


btw, I made a new Twinsen pic for the pixelart section of my blog:

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
