The Xbox One version is also making very good progress. The rendering is coming along nicely, shadows and water are now working.

Supanova

Last weekend we enjoyed showing off TY the Tasmanian Tiger on the Nintendo Switch at Supanova Gold Coast. Here's a fan giving the joy-cons a go. It's fun to flick them and throw TY's boomerangs.

Nintendo Switch Version in Submission
about 4 years ago – Tue, Mar 03, 2020 at 01:43:22 AM

We're Switching It Up **It's Submission Time** 

Drumroll please...... The Switch version is in submission to Nintendo! We submitted it last Friday, February 28th.

Checkout the official game trailer for the Switch version,  here on our Youtube channel.

And now... more resources and time are shifting to the PS4 and XB1 projects!

PS4 and XB1

Remember the update with the image from the PS4 of the lone tree with TY walking past? Since then, the goal has been to get the rendering 100% working, and correctly. 

It's coming along, but here's an example of what it's like. See that tree floating just off TY's right shoulder? We're looking for anomalies like this and fixing them up. 

Can you guess what the two most common questions about PS4 and XB1 are? 

The first is about the release dates. We don't have an update with that information yet. We promise to let everyone know as soon as we get it sorted out.

The second question is about physical copies. At this time, TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD is still digital only, but why not send an email to your favorite publisher and ask them? If they see the interest like we do...

Supanova Gold Coast Next Week!

Here's our booth location! Can't make it? Read on for more...

CEO, Robert Walsh, will be leading a panel discussion with Krome team members in their talk called "TY the Tasmanian Tiger: From Concept to Coffee Cups". They'll be on the Mountain Dew Imagineers & Gaming! stage on Saturday, March 14th at 3:30pm.

Do you have a question you'd love to ask about TY the Tasmanian Tiger or developing video games? Let us know! 

In addition to Robert covering production and business development, you can ask questions to Steve regarding art and creative direction, George for music and audio, Damian for programming and Switch development, and Nic our newest addition to the team on how he paved a career into the games industry. 

Limited Collectibles

At Supanova Gold Coast, we're previewing TY the Tasmanian Tiger HD on the Nintendo Switch for the first time. We've also decided to make some new things to have at the show

In addition to a limited number of new keyart posters (signed by Steve Stamatiadis), we'll have collectible buttons, coaster sets, and maybe a surprise or two.

After we said we'd have posters of the new keyart, overseas fans were asking how to get one. The new poster is now available on Redbubble.com

For the button and coaster sets, the pre-order store has these available for a limited time. https://ty-console.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

The sets come in packs of 6. It's TY, plus the five mystical Talisman you need to collect to free your family from the Dreaming.
