Please tell me about it so I can have it in for the update. Please. :)

Yeah, If you start a kickstarter, I'm down.

Are you still accepting feedback for the patch? I'd like some custom screen scaling, or 4:3 mode if that's possible. I'm playing on a CRT, and it's letterboxed, and sidebarred at the same time :<

KennyMan666 won the Twin Tiger Shark compo at the retrospelsmässan with a hefty 7 million.
On a still-loop-broken game... :(

Congrats man! :D



Edit: Is indiegogo ok for begging for money? Kickstarter isn't available for me (only US/CAN/UK it seems).

My camera is so awful so the pics aren't very nice.
Will upload a few (my table-related) tonight and post here anyway, then.

Nice setup! So, did anyone drop Toaplan into the conversation when chatting with you about the game?

Edit: Found this picture on a Swedish forum:

No, the ignorant bastards were like "ah, it's like 1942". :wink:
I eventually gave up and said yes around noon.

A much nicer pic, thanks!

This is really awkward. I was literally about to click donate and realised I just recently went off on a rant about not wanting to give any more money to Microsoft - which if I pay for your subscription, I will be doing!

.... so I pledged for the PC version instead :p

Good luck!

I've been up and down regarding that the last couple of weeks.
I settled for that they have actually treated me good (answered support mails and the like) so while I do feel for everyone having problems, I haven't actually experienced them first hand.
And thanks for the donation!

The update has been stuck at 91% for over 48 hours now.
No other game have had a proper review during that time either, that's how much action there is on there now. :(

There's worse ways to get money. And in this case it's from people that already know and love your game. Not dirty, I say.

I'm on a shitty train internet connection right now, but as soon as I'm home I'll sign-up to Indiegogo and give you a back. Delighted to help out!

No need to, the goal has been reached and the update is on its way.
But thanks! :D

Edit: It's now over 4 days with only one review left...this is...very strange.
(and yes, I've been reviewing others to try to get the favor returned)

Wow, this game got even better! I had a quick test of the insane difficulty, but didn't actually get past stage 1. :lol: Hard was perfect! I suspect something's weird with the score upload though, I could only see my old Easy score when I tried to upload this:

Could be a bug when viewing the web page the first time after a regged score.

Damn it! I forgot the night of my last post here and now the Indiegogo is closed. Glad you got what you needed though!

So; this game on Xbox 360. Is the updated version up there now? If not, what formats is the updated version of Twin Tiger Shark on?

Yes, it's up for the xbox. Forgot to mention that in this thread, did it in the chat one.
There were some update-download-issues the first few days, but that seems to have been fixed now.

Broken Pearl alpha-demo-thingie:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/457 ... 0629-1.zip

First two stages (made 4, but the other two are boss-less).
If you're on a keyboard, it's Z for shot and C for bomb (called fire button 1 and fire button 2).
Once you find out how to score, you'll never want to pick a [P] up again...ever. :D
Running it in 1024x768 seems to make the game wide pixel, though...will take care of that later.
Been a while since I did something to the game (busy at work), felt like picking it up now when I've got some more time again.

That music by that Cyber-Rainforce guy...god it's good.

Please give it a spin and send the feedback my way. Thanks!
And, if you've got a NES USB controller, you should really use that. :wink:

Edit:
Added some temp side art.

Only had time to try this out for a couple minutes, and really liked the speed and pacing of this game. So refreshing to see new development that actually gets shmups right. Keep up the great work! :)

Started laying out stage 5 now, but still no bosses in sight for these stages. :(
