“What Makes You Tick?” Re-Released!!

January 13th, 2012 by greg  |  comment

Friends and fans, Matt and I are thrilled to announce the re-release of the original “What Makes You Tick?“, now modernized as an online-playable Flash game!! This re-release stays true to the original game’s story while incorporating a new soundtrack and interface enhancements, and finally makes the game playable in fullscreen mode! Rediscover the rustic charm of the original “What Makes You Tick?” at the game’s new website:

This re-release has been a year in the making as we’ve slowly ported the original game’s graphics and dialogue over into the Stitch engine. It’s been a labor of love keeping the original game intact while cleaning up its behaviors and story flow using features of the new engine. All around, we think the game looks clean, runs smoothly, and sounds great! There are also free downloadable versions of the game available here.

Enjoy, and as always – happy adventuring!

Russian version!

After several months of quiet discussion, we can now say on good authority that a Russian version of “What Makes You Tick: A Stitch in Time” is currently in production! While no hard release date has been set, we’re expecting the localization to be available in the first-quarter of 2012. We’ll continue to post updates as production moves forward.

It’s official… one of our friends in Germany has picked up a copy of Stitch from the store shelf. The German version of Stitch is in stores now, and available through Amazon.com.

Also, we’d encourage our German visitors to check out this recent interview with the German game site Adventure Corner.

German version update

May 6th, 2011 by greg  |  comment

Several months ago we reported that Stitch had been picked up by a German publisher and was entering the localization process. We’re now pleased to report that we’re currently in the final stages of cleaning up the German version, and that it should be hitting the market SOON. We can’t give the exact date because –honestly– we don’t know it ourselves! However, stay tuned and we’ll keep you posted on details as they emerge.

Also, we have some good news and bad news to go with this release. The bad news is that the German version will again NOT be a talkie… as much as we hoped for voice acting, the feature ended up getting cut from our publisher’s production budget. The good news, however, is that we’re dropping Adobe AIR from our system requirements. We’ve been rather underwhelmed by the Adobe AIR platform benefits, so have evolved Stitch to run as a standard Windows/Mac executable application. The German version will release exclusively as a standalone application, and the English version should follow suit shortly thereafter.
