Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[sack]

I'm not talking about the consoles - I'm talking about the actual home computers, which were sold to be programmable when it was widely understood that 'by X for the Y system' meant the game was written and published by X, and compatible with (but not otherwise endorsed by) Y.

I think they had a young professional in their legal team who had no memory of such times...

[Foozwah]

Absolutely chuffed to hear there's going to be a Mac version, I am SO there, but will deffo be picking up a Vita for this anyway, to get TxK as soon as humanly possible.

I see this is currently today's top story on the US Playstation Blog.

Plenty of positivity in the comments which is great to see.

Thanks fog, we were actually waiting to know ( we had no idea ) when this stuff was going to be out

Hopefully "thanks to the power of mailing lists" a bunch of people just been notified of this

Oh I sooo hope Llamasoft will be around at Play Expo this year:-

http://www.playexpo.net/

& I sooo hope there will be a preview version along side the seminal 2000 and 3000...

Just saying that's all...

I find it excruciatingly painful that i have plenty of vitas lying around that are capable of playing early builds but will have to wait like everyone else

Hopefully the buzz will persuade people to give it a go, and not just wait and see if Sony stick it on PS+ at some point

I believe someone said ( to us ) that "Llamasoft is part of the furniture of that exhibition"

Unless something very weird happens I think it's relatively safe to say that we'll be there again

[edit] - anyone knows where to buy cheap lightbulb for projectors maybe ? ( possibly NOT costing 200 pounds a lightbulb ? )

[edit2] - normally in that expo I end up in spending quite some time playing Tempest 3000, a couple of times I was 'in the zone' I made quite some scores

Plenty of Vitas? That's just greedy. Some of us don't even have one

I didn't realise you had T3k with you last year, in that case I'll have to stop by for a session on that this year then

somewhat related, my mate noticed I'm in the background of Jeff's interview in the Bedrrom to Billions that was shot at play expo

Yeah I'm pleased it looks so nice before we've even started to try and do anything even remotely tricksy with it. I always thought it'd look great on the Vita screen even in its simplest form simply because that screen is so excellent.

Of course we'll be getting up to a lot more with the graphics as we move forward but my main focus at the moment is to get a good chunk of gameplay in there so I can be refining that as we go along.

Loving the Vita to code on. Plenty of scope there for some nice graphical fun as we flesh things out further. But even now it's just lovely to see it running 60fps at the Vita's highest rez. T3K never got the framerate it deserved. No such problems with this .

something that just popped up elsewhere: Yak sweater: a framework that you created before a better framework came out but that you still use because you know it intimately
