Toonstruck 2 exciting news!

[Cyrus7]

Now into 3000's! And by the way, I forgot to mention that Mr. Arem's letter includes a music list (password: "toonstruck") for both Toonstruck and Toonstruck 2, so there are some characters and locations from TS2 listed.

Keith Arem just posted this over on the official Toonstruck 2 facebook page;

He does actually have a profile which can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...4#!/keith.arem

Hey All -

Thanks for your support and dedication. We sincerely appreciate your devotion to our project, and we hope to do you proud. It may be some time before you start to hear official announcements, but we are hoping your support helps raise awareness and confidence for an updated re-release of Toonstruck.

As you are... aware, much of the game was never released due to time and budget constraints. We are evaluating the cost and time to incorporate these assets into the initial re-release. In the coming months, I will do my best to get you behind the scenes peeks into the development process.

Thanks again for your continued support, and I hope to provide you with more news soon.

Best Regards -

Keith Arem

I played Toonstruck back in the day and really enjoyed it. I still have the manual but sadly I lent the disc/s to my dad and they where gone when I got his stuff after he died.

Never released that it was unfinished / that there was a Toonstruck 2 lurking (or if I did, I have long since forgotten). While I'd love to play an updated version I highly doubt they'd get it released.

You think Christopher Lloyd deserves to be in Toonstruck at all? I don't.

Because he KILLS TOONS!!

But, seriously, I would love him in Toonstruck 2.

Does this work with Scummvm?

Last time I checked, no. You'd have to use DOSBox and stuff. That's one of the reasons why we hope they'll rerelease it

Crap...They BETTER make it for the Scummvm. But then again, chances of that happening is when Grim Fandango, Love for sail, and the neverhood head to the Scummvm.

With the SVN version it actually works quite well, there are still a few kinks to iron out though, but nothing game-breaking.

I... I don't know what to say. Fantastic. I'll give it a go.

I just finished Toonstruck, I really hope there is a sequel! Am I the only one who thought the Sunglasses puzzle was similar to the Babel Fish puzzle from Hitchhiker's Guide?

Bit of info from Keith on Facebook

Now that you mention it, they do seem a bit similar.

Speaking of similarities, did anyone else think...

[Toonstruck/Sam and Max Season 1 Spoiler]
...that Toonstruck's big mid-game cutscene is a bit like the scene where Sam and Max confront the villain in Bright Side of the Moon?

In both games, an innocuous, benevolent character is revealed to be an evil villain that has a master plan for the whole world to be happy; the villain reduces the protagonist's wise-cracking sidekick to a perpetually blissful, glassy-eyed abomination; and though both of the villains are named Hugh, they aren't truly what they seem to be...

Anyway, I sure hope this Toonstruck sequel gets off the ground. It has been a while since that petition started, but it's good to see that it hasn't been completely forgotten.

It hadn't occurred to me, but wow, that is an oddly specific parallel. Weird.

This hasn't been forgotten, the petition is still going and we could be getting some more news from Keith Arem about this within the next few weeks. Keep signing the petition and join the Facebook page and let others know cause Toonstruck 2/Directors Cut could be happening.

Some big news from Keith, posted this on the Facebook page

'We're currently working on an enhanced re-release of TS1, but we may add some of the TS2 content if we can afford to do it. We'll likely re-build our fanbase, and then move onto TS2 next.

More to come!'

[LuigiHann]

Hooray

[RetroVortex]

Yes! Yes!

Ooh yay! I really would love to play this again so I'm glad they are going to go ahead with something. Goodness knows what happened to my copy.
