Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[PVB]

I will be excited for when this is on a platform I own. In the meantime, I'll probably pick up the Vita version anyway not only to show support but also in the hopes that a potential PS4 version will be cross-buy.

If you've got a PS4, then the Vita isn't much more and can do remote play for PS4 games, etc.

First request from games media for more info and a game code (game code request made to @llamasoft_ox via Twitter):

Now the marketing begins.

I hope Yak & Giles are in a position to give this the marketing and media push it deserves now that they aren't tied to the never-ending, relentless iOS production line.

It may be worth approaching GamaSutra.com about writing a blog post about making indie games for over 30 years, covering the development of TxK and your experiences with Sony compared to companies in the past (e.g. Apple, MS, VM Labs, Atari, going it alone). They've run a number of articles written by indie dev's: http://gamasutra.com/topic/indie

Most of the articles/blogs they post usually have some unique perspective in them, like how someone managed to monetize their iOS app, or how they made gameplay design decisions which stand out, or have some other neat interesting hook. It's not a site that gets seen a lot by customers, but rather other game developers who may have a lot of followers on Twitter who "are" customers, tweeting things out to them like cool GamaSutra links.

It seems to me that anything that I like to read (like gamasutra) is too niche to be popular. Can't hurt but that set likely already knows that the game is coming out. The big mass-market sites like IGN and Kotaku need some yak schooling more IMHO.

I wish Nintendo would bosh you guys some money to make T3d for the 3ds that would be spectacular.
I suppose we can dream.

Not seen the Mispelt Terrific one!

These videos are always ace but make me terrifically nervous about how my rather-mediocre-in-comparison-how-the-hell-did-it-make-it-in-there track will sit with the game.

That's because you have to tap the screen to fire it (althouth a button can be assigned/used to, I gather.)

I seem to remember Jeff mentioned it would start killing enemies closest to where you tapped.
