[RuySan]

This is incredible. Loved both LBAs. Absolute epics with great atmosphere and weirdness that was typical of mid 90s PC games.

 

[Daedalos]

Awesome news..

 

[and 8 others]

Loved the first one, and its soundtrack:

I hope it is not "adapted for modern standards", as it would completely ruin the game.

 

[Cazzeris]

They surely will do a complete gameplay overhaul. The old games were nonsense, can't see how they could be considered acceptable nowadays

But it would be great to see some creativity and imagination make a comeback. The colourful part of the nonsense

 

[Terra]

Hopefully they'll stick with the purely isometric look of the first game, the early-3D look of LBA2's exteriors look like trash now when weighed against the beautiful interiors (LBA2 exterior camera was garbage too).

 

[Curratum]

Every time you see washed-up fogies trying to "reboot" a well-liked series from 20+ years ago, you know it's going to be so so bad.

 

[Jack Dandy]

I am an absolute quivering little bitch for this series. Defined my childhood.
So yeah, kind of hesitatingly excited about this!

 

[Siel]

Does he look like modern standards to you?

 

[Viata]

I expect nothing and I still fear that I will be disappointed.

 

[PlanHex]

I looked up his credits since then, doesn't inspire confidence that I hadn't heard of any of them.

Didn't know he was on Alone In The Dark though

 

[markec]

Epic exclusives must flow.

 

[The Decline]

I remember getting the first one and the CD version of System Shock on the same day.

 

[Bliblablubb]

LBA1/2 were the only games outside his usual prestigious adventure games my dad took interest in as well.

They better not fuck that up, it would be like pissing on his grave.

 

[Bliblablubb]

On the other hand, he's french. By proud tradition he will look at how 'muricans/brits/germans do it, than do the complete opposite.
Since nobody does those games anymore, it could actually just stay the same, but better looking.

Or it becomes a voice operated MOBA game in a South Park graphic style.
You never know what artsy bug bites them...

I hope it is not "adapted for modern standards", as it would completely ruin the game.

It's a reboot. If it wasn't adapted for "modern standards", they wouldn't bother in first place and would release the third game instead.

By "modern standards", I meant to "wokify" the game, by adding stuff that is clearly made by rote such as stronk dark-skinned women with afros (TM), useless males, all white people being evil or idiots, attacking Trump, ugly women, promoting "liberal values" (or even communism outright), etc.

 

[Viata]

If they say "modern audience", you can drop the game at once.

 

[lightbane]

If they say "modern audience", you can drop the game at once.

Sometimes they use "modern standards" instead, as normies are starting to catch on.

First devlog about choosing Unreal Engine: https://blog.2point21.com/p/devlog-and-the-winner-is

 

[Viata]

Good, it was not Unity. They are making good choices so far.

 

[Terra]

I sense an Epic Store exclusive deal on the horizon...

Help us choose a name
LBA Vs Twinsen Vs Relentless

Depending on where you live, you might know Little Big Adventure - the first one released in 1994 - under different names:

• Little Big Adventure
  
  
• Relentless: Twinsen’s Adventure
  
  
• Twinsen’s Adventure
  
  
• Little Big Adventure: Twinsen’s Adventure.
  

4 different names for the same game!

For Little Big Adventure 2 - the sequel released in 1997 - you might know the game as Little Big Adventure 2 or Twinsen’s Odyssey. 2 different names for the same game. Much better than LBA1, but still too much.


We would like to change this situation and have one single name - brand - for people to relate to.

We chose the name: Little Big Adventure.

We chose it for many reasons:

• because it’s the original name decided by the team at Adeline
  
  
• because it fits more with the tone of the game
  
  
• because it opens the game to new heros other than Twinsen
  

So, the new episode we are developing will be named: Little Big Adventure - … (you really thought I would tell you now? )

To create coherence for new players, it’s time to rename the first two original episodes.

Little Big Adventure 2 or Twinsen’s Odyssey will be renamed as: Little Big Adventure - Twinsen’s Odyssey (this one was easy).

For LBA1, it’s way trickier. So we are asking for your help. The prerequisites are simple. We need the name Little Big Adventure (for Europeans) and the word Twinsen (for the rest of the world).

Below are the 3 ideas we came up with :

1/ Little Big Adventure - Twinsen’s Adventure

It’s the most obvious choice. It’s already the name in Germany. One drawback: the word adventure appears twice

2/ Little Big Adventure - Twinsen’s Quest

It’s a reference to one of LBA1’s most famous titles of the OST.

3/ Little Big Adventure - Twinsen’s Destiny

It’s a reference to the Destiny of Twinsen to become a hero

Which one do you prefer?

They all sound bad tbh and by removing the number from LBA2, it's just adding additional confusion. Should unify it as LBA/LBA2 now, among the niche/cult following the series has on the web, I've barely seen anyone online refer to it as Twinsen, a tiny fraction used Relentless but LBA seemed to be the prevailing winner.
