Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that we are aiming for MONDAY THE 20TH OF MARCH 2017 as our release date for TY2, in to Early Access.

Plans are not yet quite finalized for price point, but overall expect things to be similar to what we did for TY1, in terms of price and launch discounts, etc.

Oh... and of course, here's a nice pretty trailer for the annoucement... feel free to share it around and get a heap more people excited for the release!

Hi all,

Time for the next exciting update to TY!
In this episode...

NEW FEATURES
  • ART: Additional beautification to Lyre, Lyre Pants on Fire; if the "Props" setting in "Screen" is set to "High" (note - this is for high-spec PCs).


  • CAMERA: Back-ported the 1st Person Camera starting direction from TY2. You can now select between "TY's Body" (which will make the camera enter 1st person, facing the direction TY's head is looking at - so it will auto-target NPCs and the like) and "Camera" (which will make the camera enter 1st person, facing where the 3rd person camera was pointing at, irrespective of anything else). The setting will default to "Camera"; and can be modified via the Options UI.

BUG FIXES
  • AUDIO: If the audio device fails to create at launch, try the next available audio device. Also, additional logging for if <all> audio devices fail to create.
  • GRAPHICS: Removed the glow around the seahorses from the shadows.

UP NEXT
We'll be working on additional beautification for more levels, and keeping an eye on any bugs that people bring to our attention.

Any issues, please let us know!

Cheers
Linds

Hi all,

So... after a few months of "hints" and oblique comments, it's official.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is coming to Steam!



And - just in case you want to buy the super-awesome poster for your wall - we've set up a sweet store! where you can buy it and other TY apparel (with more coming soon)!

We do not have a date for the Early Access release right now, but what we can say is:
  • We will have a date for you shortly :)
  • Our current plan is to progress with the release in the same fashion as we did for TY1, with an Early Access release, followed by updates to fix issues, polling the users for ideas for how to improve the game (and for achievements ideas and the like) and implementing those, improving the art.
  • We are endeavouring to ensure that the very first build of the game in Early Access will be 100% completable (it just might have a few crashes and issues along the way), the same as TY1 was.
  • We aim to have some kind of discount for the launch week in to Early Access, if you own TY1 on Steam

While we're focussing on getting things <working>, we've already made a few changes to the game that people should enjoy (SPOILERS!):
  • Mud and Sand no longer slow down the Fourbie like they used to (though steering is still affected)
  • Brand new minimap, including "large" mode (similar to TY3's), and options to set to North-Is-Up or auto-rotate.
  • Leaderboards for the cart races, for completing the game (similar to TY1's) and for Opal collection
  • We've implemented systems for us to be able to increase the amount of grass and foliage on high-end PCs
  • The camera improvements we did on the TY1 remaster have been brought across to TY2 (though some bits aren't yet hooked up in the UI)
  • And of course it's running at 60fps, with full shadows, SSAO, Bloom with adaptive brightness, etc (depending on your PC specs)


Feel free to ask questions - we'll answer any we can in the comments!

Cheers
Linds
