Wowee! That's a nice little boost for Llamasoft. Congratulations to the Yak and the Goat

So, given all the talk of the ease of cross development between PC and Xbox, when's the PC version coming out

Thankyou.

So.

Much.

Now I have to convince my good lady to allow me to purchase said article and utilise the gogglebox in the corner with it...

Ah, well. Such is life...

Must feel great to have your lifes work finally getting the recognition (and audience) it deserves.

3 questions:
1/ Does it hurt smiling for so long?
2/ Any chance of more Mintery/Giles/et all goodness on the 360?
3/ Is this the real reason Unity was cancelled?
1) Yes
2) wait
3) NO

I had to ask, I was in the bath thinking happy thoughts and grinning like a loony, after reading the excellent news, and suddenly the Unity thought came to me. I was curious, absoutely no offense was meant.

Like the 'wait' though. Excellent.

When's this thing out?

no need to shell out on the original xbox now, just keep saving my pennies for the new one

I've gone all giddy inside with anticipation - whoooo !

1 question.

Will the Llamasoft logo appear anywhere; either in the packaging, manual or on the VLM itself in a credits list?

It's one thing to get something out there but recognition comes a big second.

It'll be a shame if the Llamasoft brand gets ignored.

*Screams and hugs everybody*
Congratulations team Llamasoft, I'm honestly more excited about this than I was about Unity...
I've always wanted a VLM that I could play on a mainstream machine, most specifically while laying in bed post-smoke

Still, at least they rumble

The fact sheet sez:
a) wireless controller running 40h on 2 AA; can be hooked up with a "Play & Charge" cable.
b) standard controller with a 9" cable

Layout/function-wise they're the same.

-> this discussion should go into another thread, this thread is for
llama wootage!!

Congratulations to all involved, especially to Jeff & Giles for all the hard work you guys have put in.

Looks like the 360 will be the first console I buy at launch rather than waiting for a price drop...

Cheers

Every once in a while a purchase comes along that must be made. I'd actually use one of your "this is going to happen" tokens if you have to. There's no way anyone should risk not getting allowed to play with this because an S.O. doesn't see the value in it.

On the plus side, I have a hard time picturing someone saying No to the Thing, so it looks like new toys ahoy!
