Sorry, but I'm still stuck to the dark side : I never got to play them.

Toonstruck was planned as ONE game at the beginning. But Virgin wanted it out asap and so Burst! had to cut it into two parts. So you can't say "These images were supposed to be used in Toonstruck 1" - there only was one..

As a matter of fact I believe that the creation of a second installment is rather impossible unless the whole team is miraculously gahtered and reunited . Not very likely I'm afraid..

Still it is good to know that there is somewhere to start for the lads willing to bring this highly-awaited sequel back to life. Amen

No problem

btw.... It SHOULD be Toonstruck 2.. Just hear what they said:

A lot of people have been asking me what Toonstruck 2 would have been, so I decided to post the background images here that I have from the cut scenes. This page has little to do with my work on the game.

I read somewhere else that the publisher (or something) wrecked the sequel.
Don't remember from where though...

*** edit ***
Translation of that german page...

Listens to crazy, gell? Therefore it is would damage only all too that the brush studio never got in spite of the promising of Publisher Virgin the order to produce 'ToonStruck 2' and/or the first part to end. The reason for that was - like already above mentioned - the commercial fiasco of the game. If one consider to be sure, that many graphics of the 2.Teils, that already were completed Engine and the story and must would have joined become "only" yet all components, it is a shame that the project landed for always in the trashcan. The development of 'ToonStruck 2' trotzallem would have taken to be sure certainly yet some months at work in claim and would have eaten enough money, but in the view of innumerable software-refuse products, that inundate annually the total market, it does is entirely in the interior blow, that always our beloved genre the sorrow deceit..

Someone should compile a huge list of sequels that were never completed, and contain information and screenshots of each one. That'd be an interesting read.

Yeah ok, I realise that.. All I'm saying is that they would still need some time to put these excluded locations together (not to mention create new) to create a totally new game..
I also think that the game looked pretty good the way it was and adding too many locations could make it tiring to play. Still the nightmare locations of Nefarious' castle seem quite cool while that would probably mean even more time without Flux which is a rather unpleasant thought...:eek: I mean wasn't this little guy really cool, or what?

No, he wasn't. More like a total annoyance... his french voice didn't help him out, though.

Yes, hair-pulling annoying!

And there are more of these annoying characters in the game, I remember.

Personally I think that B.B Wolf was very,very cool. 8-)

Indeed he was, as well as most of the "bad" characters, IMO. (especially the S&M cow.)

[Starflux]

Ah yes, but then you didn't hear Dan Castanalletta (Homer) do his voice. De characters were very good in my opinion. I don't understand how you could compare the witty, befitting dialogue of Toonstruck with the endless ramblings of The Longest Journey. I had liked much more of it the way it was!
And characters like the Carecrow, Footman, Toilet Sentry, the evil robotmaker and all the others I still hold very dear to me. So let us have no more of this negative comment about Toonstruck Go bash a game that deserves it *hands over a copy of Daikatana*

Bashing Dai-Katana? You sure are a cruel person.

And Longest Journey "ramblings" were just fine with me, as well as Toonstruck's.
I loved Toonstruck, but didn't like Flux. Sorry, Flux.

I don't think you're a dark lord of the sith. More like a purple lord of the critters, but those don't have the force.

i realy think we should start a patation for a release of somthing or other, even if they release only part of the game and it is'nt even put together it would fine with me, but would vergin have parts of the game even after 8 years. i would think they would because they would need documentation of there expences and such. i've seen a website on the forums ware you can start a patition. does anyone remember what that website is?

[jannar85]

Alright.. Listen up.. I've done some researching on Burst! Entertainment (the developing company)

Anyway, the company turned out to be out of business. So I went to mobygames, so get their names.

I found the lead designer, Richard Hare's site.

and e-mail: Edit: address removed following spam complaints. (Besides, this wasn't the Richard Hare you're looking for.) All other email addresses in this thread will be altered to prevent spiders from indexing them - Marek

Last game he worked on were Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, last year.

Then, the next thing would be finding the art director, William D. Skirvin
So I did.

He haven't worked on a single project since Toonstruck.

What about the character designer, I hear you say (I think..)
Well.. Found him as well. John Piampiano.

Toonstruck seems to be the only project he ever had, so it might be interesting to do Toonstruck for him again

http://www.johnpiampiano.net/
_____________________________________________

Should anyone contact them, or something?
Or first start a petition to show how big interest it actually is.
(...and most of us said we would pay $50 for a follow-up, this might be a good idea for everyone in Burst!)

Let's revive Toonstruck!
(and maybe even xp compatibility for Toonstruck!)

But petition or contact first?

P.S - The voice actors from the game are always available, since it's what they do.

Oh, and as mentioned earlier. The Video Compositor, Laura Janczewski.

For the record, I have Simon 3 (not 3d... not that I dislike the Simon 3d, but it's still an ugly game), Indy 5 (there was supposed to be an indy 5, wasn't there?), The Wheel of Time (which was supposed to be an adventure game before it turned out a stupid FPS), GK4... Oh well, that's all i can think of for now.
5 games so far.

There was also The Real Neverending Story (I think that's what it was called)

And Monkey Island 3 as it would have been conceived by Ron Gilbert.

[remixor]

Forge, the would-be sequel to Loom.

[Zanthia]

Loom! thats one game that neede a sequel. From the other hand, its story was complete.

Does Warcraft adventure counts?
