Toonstruck 2 exciting news!

[Darth Marsden]

This is great news. Totally looking forward to it.

Keith has given details on when the official announcement will be made;

Hey all -

We're still quite a ways off, but I'm hoping we can make an official announcement by Comic Con or later this summer!

We appreciate your enthusiasm! Keep the dream alive!

[Darth Marsden]

Cool. Thanks for keeping us updated on the... well, updates.

Just read this on the Facebook page from a Trevor Greer who is involved the enhanced edition

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, I have good news for those of you who are looking forward to the re-enhanced version of Toonstruck.
My father and Keith both worked at Virgin (Interactive?) and they are overseeing the project. As well as this, I play a part of this project.
The re-enhanced version is beginning to gain momentum and we are in the process of gathering all the old data from the original source code.
We hope to have stuff for Comicon this July, so check out the PCB Productions booth at the convention!

Anyone here going to Comic Con???

If not, we need to recruit somebody to go specifically to liveblog news about this for us. :P

I like it but then I'm a sucker for a good (or perhaps that should be bad) pun.

Trevor has just answered some fan questions one in particular telling which platform its coming out on first;

1. I believe our current goal lies with a handheld version of the game. But, depending on its success, repackaging it back for PC and Mac isn't too far off.

2. What I mean by "Re-enhanced" is that we are taking all the old backgrounds and sound files and upping their resolution to match the ratio of iPad, iPhone etc.

3. We don't have any current plans to send it off for a windows platform at the moment.

4. While it may be going for Apple products, im not sure if we will have it for Android. Time will tell.

5. Once I find out our booth number for Comicon, I will be sure to let you guys know so you can come on by! I will probably be there helping out all (5?) days of the Convention at the booth.

DANG IT!!

(Hopefully it gets a 3DS release though... now that would be interesting...)

[ShaggE]

Oh man... it's like the ROTT tease all over again...

(3D Realms: Big ROTT news coming!
Me: YAY!
3D Realms: Phone port!
Me: ... All of my hate.)

Well remember the Broken Sword Remastered editions were on handhelds first then went to PC, maybe their following that method. Either way its hopeful this time its gonna sell since more people are aware of it then they were 15 years ago.

[ShaggE]

I hope so, but I just don't know... depends on what they call a "success", really.

[Threepwood4Life]

Just read this, after so many asking why a PC version isn't getting released first, Trevor has responded with the following;

"I'll tell you what guys. Next time I speak to Keith, I will ask him about what his opinion is about adapting the game to PC and Mac computers. Possibly through Steam."

He also went on to say;

I forgot to mention, please refer people with questions to this thread. I am unsure of what TS communities there are.
Thanks Guys!

That's good news about a PC port anyway, but why did he have to drop the S-bomb?

[doodo!]

Is this for real? I got to play the first one now.

[tredlow]

Never played the first one, though I've been looking for a copy for years. Still, they say that the new version will be an extended version of the old one.

I've told them several times that GOG.com would make more sense to put it but they seem to ignore the suggestion. If it goes on Steam it won't sell as much but put it on GOG and they will be surprised.

Also glad to hear that another fellow 1996 game The Neverhood will also be getting re-released on all mobile formats.

Will this also get released for the Ipod touch? or is it too big for it?
