TLDR: All done, thank you; Updates released; What's next... TY2HD

Firstly, Thank you.

This is likely to be our last post. The campaign for TY1HD has been successfully delivered! (except a few of the statuettes; which we've been shipping out very carefully.)

It's been a super exciting 16 months, and we have you to thank! Thank you for being apart of this journey to bring TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD to consoles. We are so humbled by your support and nostalgia for the little guy. It's been nice getting to know you, and we hope you've enjoyed getting to know us too.

Everyone who was a Kickstarter Backer, even the $1 backers!, was sent a link to their digital copy of the new Doomeranger comic. 

For those interested in more TY the Tasmanian Tiger universe, yesterday during Steve's Twitch stream, he shared that while there is no active development on a fifth game, there is a plot. In the comic is a lot of setup for and characters of a possible TY5.

What's Next?

We've heard you. We've been listening and answering your questions about bringing TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue to consoles, too. 

It's already been remastered in HD on the Steam platform (for PC). Textures, effects, user interface updates, etc. 

We've already started looking into the coding work to bring TY2HD to consoles. Yesterday, Steve broadcast his time reviewing TY2, looking for more art to improve. 

TY2HD was made with version 2 of our Merkury engine. We learned much bringing TY1HD across, but we have to start back at square one and figure out what we can update and improve.

Nothing is happening on the console front this year. So, we'll let you know early next year about another Kickstarter or news on a TY2HD release, or *shrug* anything else that might come up.

Ta for a great 2020!
