    I didn't know you were working with Ynnis Int.

    Good luck with that!

    Long story short: it's not a partnership so were still independent that way.

    Dear beloved Mapcore,

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awYKx3hpLzo

    Tomorrow is a very big day for me and my comrades at Frogsong Studios as our Kickstarter campaign will take off. We have been working on the game for about 16 months now and this is our first time really trying to get the crowd of the world looking at us. Therefore, I am asking you guys to please help us out and back our project once we go live at 20.00 GMT+1, July 1st (that is tomorrow.)

    Secondly, we are also launching a Thunderclap campaign to create some awareness around the project. In case you don't know what Thunderclap is, it's kind of an online flashmob where supporters sign up their social media accounts to let the arranger send this _ONE_ message at the end of the campaign. This have been used by a lot of big (and small) organisations around the world and there is nothing malicous about it.

    Here's a link to the Thunderclap: https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/28317…rn-kickstarter/


    Once we go live tomorrow I will make a post here again with the link to the campaign, (they won't give it to you on forehand.)

    I will definitely return the favor if someone else does the same.

    Thanks in advance!

    Stefan and the rest of Frogsong

    Agreed that both look very promising. Especially Cuphead. I got instant flashbacks to all those Betty Boop, Disney and Popeye reruns I watched growing up!

    Yeah I can't decide on which of them I like the most. They're so different. I got some flashbacks too, actually I am old enough to have seen the hand-animated stuff like Disney, Asterix & Obelix and more. This really triggered me too.

    Quote from blackdog

    Dat graphics!!!

    I love this kind of games, Limbo gave really new life to the 2D platform-adventures, EA would have never put money in something like this before.

    I take is gonna be multiplaftorm being EA, so I'm likely to get it


    I have to say, for long I've been a bit negative towards indie platformers. Most of them go like "It's like Limbo, but with colors and the time-mechanics from braid!" or something like that. Those games turn me off but this is different, mostly because of the artstyle and the lemming for me but well.. there's something special to it!

    Yes I totally see this as a game that should be played alone on your console without anyone being able to interrupt you. Get into tha' mood!

    Quote from Mazy

    Looks neat, I can't wait for the touching ending where you run out of yarn and die


    I know, I heard someone say it's referring to some old novel but I don't care. Cute characterg dying always gets me, even though it's super cliché!

    Here is the trailer and the playthrought of our student project "Revenge of Trishna"

    Demo coming to you in a few day Comments welcome !

    Someone call PETA!

    Jokes aside it looks pretty cool! So far I don't see the challenge in the game or the purpose of each level. Is it an arcadish kind of shooter? Like Serious Sam or Painkiller?

    Also you should totally add some more environmental sound effects to add some ambience, currently the soundpicture is a bit flat.

    Lastly, pleaaaaase get rid of that font! You have some artists who did alol that texturing, I'm quite sure they can come up with something better. After all the packaging of the trailer will define how well the game is recieved at first glance.

    Keep it up!

    While all of you (seems like it) are drooling over all these AAA-titles, I sit in my corners and dream about running from lemmings! It might be because of my patriotism (didn't know I had any) and love for fuzzy animals.

    Anyone else who got blown away by this?

    So far Unravel is the game that hooked me the most. That and Cuphead.

    So, what I got going for me is that even in dreams I'm too old, I get burned by a 18 year old, rejected by a blonde and I look desperate. Yeah, that's great man

    Seriously though, I consider it a compliment. Was worried there for a bit but luckily there was a girl. Good to know I'm on people's mind.

    Oh you shut up! I'm 24! ;)

    Hahaha, well if there was anyone on the core I'd have to bang it might as well be you. I mean at least you have a hunk for an idol! xD

    I don't want to be Mr. Negative and it really starts to feel like I've become a professional complainer. These are all first world problems, but bare with me and judge for yourself!

    Oh damn that's a harsh week but don't you worry! There's people dreaming about you, in fact I did this night for some weird reason!I dreamt that you and I were in this underground parking lot, you were looking like an 18 year old kid also, but I clearly called you Sprony. There was this really pretty girl who was a blonde car mechanic and you started hitting on her. Then I became super smooth (completely unrealistic) and somehow slid into the conversation, made you look desperate, (Oh comon, I know you have kids and a wife!), took over the conversation, got a kiss and then I woke up...

    So you got that going for you!

    What do you mean so many questions? There's only one. Which apartment is hers?


    Hahah! Well if it wasn't for the fact that I've seen her boyfriend around I might have actually considered it.

    Quote from Thrik

    @AlexM That is absolutely mental, you could have had a brush with death there! Or at least some severe beating. Lucky your partner was on the ball.

    @Sjonsson Wow, either she gets off on voyeurism or she was trying to send you a message about looking at her.

    I live in an apartment that kind of points towards a block of fancy student dorms, and it's not uncommon for me to be sitting there looking out of my window — towards the horizon and sky, not the block of dorms —while relaxing or eating, and suddenly some young Chinese student or something will appear at the window completely naked. It's one of those really weird situations where you're not quite sure what to do. I blame urban planners.

    Yepp maybe. I'm gonna keep on looking and see if she continues this showcasing I might actually make a move, haha!

    Haha, yeah it's really problematic; 'Am I a perv? Or well I know I am but does this make me look like one? Is that my fault?' etc. Damn you urban planners!

    Here's a story without no deep meaning, it's just weird.

    So I was enjoying my breakfast this morning and on the other side of the street, on the second floor, I saw a figure further into the apartment but I wasn't sure whether it's was person or not. I didn't mind and just kept on eating and looking out of the window. Short after, this figure started moving and I notice it's a full naked young woman standing there, looking straight out of the window. I kept looking out of curiousity (and yes because she was naked and good looking), but what was she doing anyway? She stood there for a minute or so and then I noticed her looking at my window.

    Got me thinking she probably thought I'm a complete perv staring out of my window at her. A couple of seconds passed and she leaned forward towards the window and at that point I had a good view on what she looks like and then something unreal happend! She picked up a pair of binoculars!

    Standing straight up, clearly in view for anyone on the other side of the street, she continues looking at me this way for a couple of seconds. I stand up to get a glass of water, turn around and then she's gone.

    So many questions!
