Seriously? Gah, I was under the impression that the project had already begun. :/ I really have to stop getting my hopes up about anything LBA-related.
If fundings are a problem I'm sure most people here (and quite a bit of miscellaneous LBA fans over the internet) would be willing to contribute. I know I would!

Yeah, but the iOS/Android version may just be a completely separate project from the "remake". I think we should ask them if they're the same or different projects.

Are any of you in contact or know how to contact the developers at all? Because I have a very good funding idea that will help massively... I think

It's a website called kickstarter and you guys should check it out, the idea is for the developers to say what they are going to do, in this case a remake of LBA or whatever and then supporters pledge money to support them. The good thing is if they do not reach their target which the developers set then none of the supporters have to pay anything so it gives people incentive to donate and help out. A further incentive comes fro
how much you are willing to donate normally with a small donation you get a copy of the game but with higher donations you get bonus prizes such as limited edition merchandise etc.

Sound like a good idea?

[BusyBee]

It is a good idea.. I support that kind of funding but, for now anyway, the team would rather stick to conventional ways of funding their games.

Kickstarter is very well known these days so i highly doubt it that the team hasn't heard of it yet. But this is indeed a really good idea, LBA is such a well known game and still very populair i bet a lot of people want to help the team out! At least i would..!

[Frybeans]

Yeah kickstarter is very well known now, just would be good to be able to directly support and fund the project , plus getting rewards for doing so sounds even better lol

[TheRealBlues]

I'm really concerned that this won't get released in the United States. I mean, I suppose it doesn't matter since there'd be a way to get it regardless, but it might just be in French!

This is wonderful news!

Edit: Android?! >:

[Reek]

pardon my ignorance, but which company is working on this thing? ludoid?

[Necdilzor]

"DotEmu is working on mobile versions..." From the Ludoïd website news.

[Twinsan]

I hope it gets released for the pc, it's where lba really belongs, althrough a ps3 version would be awesome too.

[Nieniepaninii]

And the xbox360 ofcourse!

[K. A. T.]

PC, android, xbox, PS3, something more?? yeah LBA 4;p

[Necdilzor]

I'm happy with PC version

[Nieniepaninii]

Or the wii-u so you can open the inventory on the controller/tablet!

[Zerath^]

This is amazing news!

[Nieniepaninii]

Time is passing by......

It's still a little quiet on the LBA remake... as curious as i am...

I was thinking just recently that after this time they should have made a lot of progression with the remake of the game..

[MatheusMK3]

I can try to suggest Didier or Fred about using Kickstarter on the remake project... If someone finds this useful...

[Nieniepaninii]

I also develop games and i found out a while ago that you need to live in America and need to have an American bank account to participate to Kickstarter. If you don't have a American bank account and all the registration forms needed it will take months before you can finally participate. They are still working on this, but it will probably take some time before people outside the USA can participate.

This sounds too vague, possibly lost in the translation. Is it a true remake with reworked concepts (ie a different aim system for the magic ball) or just an iOS port?

No further news on this one?

No further news yet.

Here's hoping for the best, or some news at least.

[Polaris]
