TY2 is Coming to Steam

Hi all,

So... after a few months of "hints" and oblique comments, it's official.
TY the Tasmanian Tiger 2: Bush Rescue is coming to Steam!

And - just in case you want to buy the super-awesome poster for your wall - we've set up a sweet store! where you can buy it and other TY apparel (with more coming soon)!

We do not have a date for the Early Access release right now, but what we can say is:

• We will have a date for you shortly :)
• Our current plan is to progress with the release in the same fashion as we did for TY1, with an Early Access release, followed by updates to fix issues, polling the users for ideas for how to improve the game (and for achievements ideas and the like) and implementing those, improving the art.
• We are endeavouring to ensure that the very first build of the game in Early Access will be 100% completable (it just might have a few crashes and issues along the way), the same as TY1 was.
• We aim to have some kind of discount for the launch week in to Early Access, if you own TY1 on Steam

While we're focussing on getting things <working>, we've already made a few changes to the game that people should enjoy (SPOILERS!):

• Mud and Sand no longer slow down the Fourbie like they used to (though steering is still affected)
• Brand new minimap, including "large" mode (similar to TY3's), and options to set to North-Is-Up or auto-rotate.
• Leaderboards for the cart races, for completing the game (similar to TY1's) and for Opal collection
• We've implemented systems for us to be able to increase the amount of grass and foliage on high-end PCs
• The camera improvements we did on the TY1 remaster have been brought across to TY2 (though some bits aren't yet hooked up in the UI)
• And of course it's running at 60fps, with full shadows, SSAO, Bloom with adaptive brightness, etc (depending on your PC specs)

Feel free to ask questions - we'll answer any we can in the comments!

Cheers
Linds
