Is there somewhere english ver.?

[Lawrence]

Can't wait for some screenshots or an in-game trailer!

[Nieniepaninii]

Will the android version be released after a pc version or before?

Someone knows this?

[Lawrence]

There is NO pc version confirmed so far. They never mentioned one.

[Polaris]

That's truly sad.

[Twinnie]

I thought they were making a remake for Pc, and a seperate port(original) for iOS and Android?

[Reek]

the title of this thread is misleading.
this appeares to be a re-release. not a remake.

i retract my earlier excitement.

Exactly my troughts... !
Dunno why but i just assumed that there was going to be an pc version....

On my android phone i cannot see twinssen with my fingers blocking the display trying to control the game... :P I mean it would be nice as something extra... but maybe i am just spoiled.

Sounds like a remake to me.

Me
Pardon my French. I am a big fan of much of the work you have done and I wondered how things are going with LBA1 remake?
Also have you heard much about LBA3? If there is anything I can do to help, let me know (I own an advertising firm in the UK)

Didier Chanfray
Hello Chris, thank you for your offer of assistance. I note it well!
Smartphone version (ios, Android) coming out of LBA1 this fall
it was also the project of a REBOOT LBA1 and 2
Reboot the cover of the scenario 1 and 2

Me
This is great news!

Didier Chanfray
it can be very nice, with side quests, new places
and better gameplay

Me
Will it be 3d?
Do you speak English?
Or is my French readable?

Didier Chanfray
perfectly
not under consideration, the idea is to go 3D with the latest shader
shadows, light but the view does not change
top view
we can orient the camera

[MatheusMK3]

Yep, sounds like a remake for me too...

By the latest shader, wich version he meant? Ok, would be amazing to have LBA on levels like Pixel/Vertex Shader 4 (if there's not any newer), but wouldn't be good to have an option to play with Shader 2.0 too (in case hardware doesn't supports Shader 3.0+)

[Reek]

ok then. let's wait and see

[Carajo]

Is it out yet?

[K. A. T.]

sir_matrox I think everyone want it now...

[MatheusMK3]

Well, a bit in-topic.. I think this is how the controls should look like if a version for touch devices become available:

I'm developing games for Android and the controls are soo limited! If you develop games specially for these limitations that's okay.. but LBA1 needs a lot of controls.. the switching between the different modes for example.

But LBA1 on a phone..? Hmmm...

Well i wait for a pc version! Or maybe XBLA or PSN

Agreed phone version is a fail idea, too fiddly for all the controls the game requires, it will be a pain in the ass and no one takes phone games too seriously anyways.

[K. A. T.]

Maybe they invent sth new, or... who knows

[Nieniepaninii]

Any new updates?

[Polaris]

Not that I know of...

[Nieniepaninii]

I'm just (too) curious...

[BusyBee]

Quick Update.. (Bad and good news)

Firstly to the good news...
The team (unsure who is involved but Fred and Didier are confirmed) can actually start the project in approximately 6 months (due to other commitments.)

They also plan on a remake of LBA1 AND LBA2.

The bad news.. (Funding)

The team require funding for the remake project. It's a very high amount.. Similar to the amount Tim Schafer managed to raise to create his next adventure game.

At this moment in time they do not want to consider this type of funding for the game and would much rather stick to conventional and classical methods of funding.

Peace Out!

[BusyBee]

Maybe I'm just guessing?

I hope this isn't true...

[BusyBee]

My good friend, Didier told me.. I'm sure with this forum as evidence and the talent within the team they can convince the publishers.
