Thimbleweed park 2 in production!

Same here. Though I think it’s quite natural as the polls ask different questions.

  1. Do you want a TWP2 (to be made)?
  2. If TWP2 was made, would you buy (play) it?

Given that, sane answers would be “Yes” and “Yes”, “No” and “Yes” and “No” and “No”. If anyone voted “Yes” and “No”, please explain yourself :slight_smile:!

Well, I would like to play TWP2. But only if there is enough *beeping* *beep* in-it-a-reno.

More like Michelangelo replacing the thumbs up hand he had originally in mind with the pull-my-finger it turned out to be (or is it touch-my-finger-I-am-on-a-cloud-and-you-are-grounded-to-earth-so-this-may-give-a-shock ?) because he couldn’t paint a thumb with the paint brushes he had brought to interface with the ceiling and didn’t want to climb down AGAIN to start from scratch. :wink:

Surely they’d be the most altruistic person on the world.

Oh, come on. Just as if you didn’t grow up in the Golden Age of Software Piracy. This pattern was extremely common back then. :smirking_face:

Credits to @ephialtes and @Sushi because they had got and placed in a safe place all the past podcast episodes.

That was crucial. If today we can celebrate with confetti :confetti_ball: and spumante :bottle_with_popping_cork: for having all the episodes back, it’s also thanks to them.

I think Ron is also still looking for the right balance:

I was surprised at how many objects didn’t have custom default responses. A large number of objects just said “That doesn’t seem to work.”

“Green nodes are tutorial sections”

Mmm, interesting that there is a tutorial in a sequel - must be to get used to whatever the fancy new UI will be.

I’ve played my last adventure game several years ago and I’m at an age where I start to forget several things. So what was your question again?

With RtMI’s tutorial/park/play-area place, I had no idea what I was meant to be doing or how to do it…
It was only when I realised I could just skip it and go straight to the actual game that everything made sense again.

Awful. How can he hope to get anything remotely decent if he doesn’t put some text in those rectangles?

But it’s quite clear: You have to go to the black room, get the black object and use it in the other black room with this black thing in the black box.

Ah great, you’ve spoiled the puzzle for me now.

Don’t worry: I mentioned only the tutorial. And even that is still a black box.

I like the fact that there is a tutorial step in the middle of other stuff. I hope it’s a bit like having new character abilities being added slowly as the story progresses. “Upgrades”
