Support NeoGAF

[Emitan]

Don't want to sound like I'm port begging but is there any chance this will be coming to a system other than the most expensive gaming device on the market? The newest iThingy I own is the original iPod Touch, which is not suited to gaming at all.

Anyway, the game looks fantastic and I would be buying this the instant it's out if I owned an iPad.

 

[Jangaroo]

I want this so badly. Almost there...

 

[asa]

Been waiting for this, I've had developer blog bookmarked for months. The Game really oozes style and old school adventure.

True offspring of Another World and Flashback.

 

[Big Icarus]

Now, i'm biased, but i definitely dont think its gimped - it's just a smaller screen. You still get the amazing pixels, the soundtrack, and the gameplay.

Awesome. Thanks, man.

 

[hyp]

day one! so pumped about this one. i wonder how fleshed out this game is.

 

[Meier]

Really excited for this -- can't come soon enough!

 

[tirminyl]

I literally just learned of this game a few days ago (I know right). I can't wait for it!

 

[DCharlie]

Really can't wait for this game.

It's got an interesting look , with a strong wiff of retro but with a great style.

I'm getting a sense of adventure just waiting for the adventure!

iOS - tis the new amiga total.

 

[Ravidrath]

Picking this up as soon as I've got an iPad 2 in-hand - greatly looking forward to supporting it and Capy.

 

[Aaron]

My ipad2 cries out for this game at night. That's why I put it back into sleep mode.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Cannot wait. I've been waiting for Capy's take on Zelda for years now.

 

[taoofjord]

Capy, please tell me there's a chance we'll get might and magic on the iPad (the ds version or the new one... I'll take either/both)!!

 

[Slime]

For everyone loving the game, or on the verge of loving the game, please take a moment to look into Jim Guthrie's music. Not that any of you probably even need a recommendation, because spending as much time with it as you will be in the context of S&S is bound to make you fall in love with it, but just in case. He's well worth your time.

 

[Tobor]

*Impressions*

I was sold anyway, but it's good to know we're in for a great experience.

 

[Tilian]

In my insatiable urge for more info, I came across their keynote from Gamercamp last year. Don't think this has been posted yet.

It has a 45min video offering the most detail on the project I've seen. Now it really has my attention.

[Cromulent_Word]

Capy, please tell me there's a chance we'll get might and magic on the iPad (the ds version or the new one... I'll take either/both)!!

i have no clue. this is one of those 'publisher' calls, so i can't really offer much beyond that. sorry!

Cannot wait. I've been waiting for Capy's take on Zelda for years now.

Yeaaa... this isn't that. It's a collaborative project who's ties to Zelda are more thematic than anything.

 

[V_Ben]

Two Capy games in a month of each other? Truly we are blessed. When I graduate, you guys are the first place I'm sending a resume to Not that you'd have much use for an English student

 

[Rlan]

Capy, please tell me there's a chance we'll get might and magic on the iPad (the ds version or the new one... I'll take either/both)!!

Ubisoft haven't been the brightest spot in the world when it comes to iPhone development and publishing. They usually let Gameloft do their thing for Prince of Persia and Rayman.

Would make perfect sense though.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

Returning the subject squarely back to S:S&S EP...

There'll be an important Teletex coming out today containing the exact launch date (this week), as well as a personal message from Superbrothers. If you aren't getting Teletex bulletins, sign up over here: http://www.superbrothers.ca/wtf.html or wait til it gets linked here.

Other than that, here's a couple pieces of info you might have missed about the game:

• Every piece of text in Sworcery is Twitterable. All dialogue is done in 140chars or less, and is tagged with #sworcery.
• Jim Guthrie will be releasing an LP version of the soundtrack, with songs from the game and/or modified from/inspired by the game
• The Dog's name is Dog
• There are points in the game where you can, and will, get stuck... because miracles are hard to figure out

 

[Technosteve]

Crom, i demand Pre-Order Bonuses or Pixel art!

 

[Riptwo]

Looks like Thursday is confirmed. I can finally stop searching the app store every ten minutes! Additionally, I really hope I can attain a copy of the LP.

 

[oracrest]

When is the LP for sale? and where?

 

[Krauser Kat]

any word if this is coming to the android platform.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I watched about 20 minutes of the Gamercamp presentation. This game looks amazing and has pushed me towards saving up for an iPad 2.

 

[Pharoah]

OH GOD IT'S COMING SOON NOW

*hyperventilates*

 

[Krauser Kat]

NVM, shit is lame.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

any word if this is coming to the android platform.

No plans to bring it to Android. Sorry.

When is the LP for sale? and where?

We haven't posted any details yet. They will be coming post iPad launch.

Looks like Thursday is confirmed. I can finally stop searching the app store every ten minutes!

Thursday, March 24th release is indeed confirmed.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

When is the LP for sale? and where?

I don't even own a record player, but I want to buy this limited vinyl album!

 

[mujun]

Thursday, March 24th release is indeed confirmed.

When will it hit Iphones/Ipods?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

When will it hit Iphones/Ipods?

I think they said about a month after the iPad release.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

yea, in about a month or so. the LP/soundtrack should hit before that.

 

[GDJustin]

Oh man... want.

(This is basically a thinly veiled tag post to remind me to buy later this week).

Anyone know the price?

 

[Cromulent_Word]

quick note: Touch Arcade posted their S:S&S EP Preview:

http://toucharcade.com/2011/03/21/sword-and-sworcery-preview/

It has a few minutes of direct-feed too, but it's spoilerific (as is part of the preview).

 

[george_us]

Was the name inspired by Jet Set Radio? Because I'd by the game based on that alone.

 

[FINALBOSS]

Buying on iPad!

 

[Emitan]

Will this work on the original iPod Touch? Managed to get my sister's old one, and it's the only way I would be able to play this.

 

[bob page]

First few mins from Kotaku:

The music sounds soooo good.

Not to step on Craig AKA Superbrothers' toes.... but... possibly...

We're doing our best to make it as playable as possible on the oldies.

 

[Jonnyram]

Sounds like it should be out right on time.

I heard Apple sets their Apps loose at midnight or something? So in another 24 hours or so this thing we made will be loosed upon the world?

 

[Vard]

I am patiently waiting for the iPhone version! It looks like a very interesting game & I'm a fan of the art style.

 

[Zeth]

I can't even explain how much I'm in love with everything about this game.

I can't wait to just sit down with it - dim the lights - headphones on - and just get lost.

Thanks in advance for this game!

 

[Fusebox]

This has been the only iOS game on my radar for ages, I hope it lives up to the hype.

 

[Wallach]

Patiently waiting for the iPhone version. Really like everything I've seen (and heard) so far.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

Superhyped for this, I hope the wait for the iPhone version isn't too long. Seeing the gameplay video yesterday got me very excited, that music is amazing, and I'm the sort of guy that usually scoffs at people talking about video game music.

 

[Detox]

I got the latest itouch but I would love to play this on PC. Just use the mouse instead of tap. Is there any chance of it ever coming to Steam?

 

[moozoom]

I'm anticipating this game even more than the PAL 3DS launch...

 

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

This has been the only iOS game on my radar for ages, I hope it lives up to the hype.

I share the same sentiments. You lucky iPad folk'll be getting it two weeks to one month earlier than me. I'll have to sit here and read your impressions until then

 

[Cromulent_Word]

This has been the only iOS game on my radar for ages, I hope it lives up to the hype.

I hope we made a game that people will enjoy, and feel happy they spent their hard-earned money on. Beyond that, it's up to the players to decide if what we've made is worthy.

From all the previews I've read, it sounds like you guys knocked it out of the park. Can't wait to download it tonight

 

[345triangle]

i'm down for this. has a price been announced?
