Jeffrey Wilson published an interview on 2D-X dealing with Twin Blades’ origins and our views on 2D gaming in general. As a little bit of the nun’s shameful creative background is unearthed the words ‘old Italian porn’ are coughed up.
The game is currently being peer-reviewed, the penultimate state before being released on Xbox Live Indie Games. Unfortunately peer-review isn’t like when all urinals are occupied and you can always pee in the ladies’ washbowl instead: there’s no queue-dodging on XBLIG.
There is no ETA, although it shouldn’t take more than a few days – or maybe even hours. We’re 70% done, it doesn’t mean much as we don’t know exactly how many more reviews the remaining 30% represent (Microsoft likes to keep it a secret, or else people would figure out how the break the mysterious Microsoft Time and that would take away most of the charm of staring at that blue bar’s progress).
Problem is peer-reviews is a volunteer-based system, people do it in their free time and it seems they are currently busy spending their free-time on trivial things such as family gathering and selling unwanted gifts on ebay.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience, we’ve messed up and we’ll whip the coders as a collective punishment – although they’ll probably enjoy it so we’ll also force them to port the game in Java too.
There is more blood, more flesh, more partial-yet-very-acceptable nudity in the HD version of Twin Blades, and its coming to Xbox Live Indie Games very soon!
wtf when? asks SerialKerry95 on our twitter. Very soon, in fact there should be zombies under your christmas tree. Well, provided that you have a Xbox 360 of course, or else it’ll just be the mere boring family gathering. Which is fine I suppose, but lets face it considerably lacks the blood splatters to be be realistically fun.
The game will sell at 240 MS points, and just like with the iPhone version we have some sweet updates in the pipes which includes bosses, new environments, additional slash animation etc etc.
What’s more, these downloadable contents will be FREE for those who have purchased the game early, as a mean to thank our early supporters (or is it as a mean to punish those cowards who’d want to wait for the updates I never recall).
