Toonstruck 2 - The way it could be
 

I was typically browsing through google for a toonstruck tool (some on the lucashacks forum said they were making it some time ago), anyway, I decided to run "Toonstruck 2" into google, and wow....

Have all of you seen what could be?
Damn those who abandoned it... It wasn't the developers, that's for sure..
Toonstruck 2 was completed and all... Do you think it can be revived again?

http://www.lauraj.net/portfolio/Game...Toonstruck.htm (a lot of stuff! Mostly in "Cutscenes")

Have you seen this at all?
I wish they'd released it :(

Also see: Interview with Richard Hare (it was also mentioned at AG, I think)

And yes, I've seen all this. And I get desperate everytime I see it again - loved Toonstruck.

Thanks for the link to the "Cutscenes"-section, haven't mentioned it before!

I've never played the original, but now I really want to. Those screenshots looked fantastic!

*sigh*


:sad:

If they have no intention of ever releasing the game as it's not commercially viable, why don't they just make it freely available (or for a small charge) on the net seeing as the work is already done?

Seems a waste otherwise.

It isn't done and that's the problem. They had done most of the graphics, yes, but the entire game was not completed.

Well, anyone knows where we can find the developers, and if they still have the source? They can just make the rest, put it together, then sell it like $10-30.

I would've paid $30 to download Toonstruck 2, if they would ever make it available on the net for sale.

That's a pretty good idea. If the official developers are willing to release what they have already completed, I'm sure some amateur developers could finish the job. I'd pay for the completed product as well.

Let's start a petition or something :P
But no.. Not amateur... I want the real flesh and blood that was in the first one :P

Would Christopher Lloyd really want to come and finish a game he did years ago?

Maybe we could get his twin brother, Zuktroy Lloyd.

The list of the fantastic adventure games that were supposed to be made but weren't for obscure reasons gets one more entry. Yeah! I mean, ARG!!!

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.

All animations were done.... :D

Warcraft adventures... And Full Throttle 2 (which had the potential to be good, kinda). And a Ron Gilbert Monkey Island game.

Yeah, I forgot the Warcraft adventure. FT2 didn't appeal to me very much, but who knows... And about MI, while the 3 hadn't quite exactly the spirit of the first two (I think it was a matter of graphics), I still loved it.
So I wouldn't put a Ron Gilbert MI on my list.

Counting FT2, 7 games so far on the list.

Do you think it's worth starting a thread for this kind of list? (or maybe there already were such a list)

Or a poll! :9 Yeah, I like polls... :D

I had never seen the animations before! Love em ^__^
Howevere they weren't for Toonstruck 2 I think, but for the original game, which was all cut down because it took too long or something, or they ran out of budget or patience. Shame, the game was originally meant to be a lot longer :( Ah well, this makes up for a lot ^__^

And Warcraft Adventures, I'd have loved to see that! :)

I don't really think there is much need for a sequel or all of these scenes. Did they not realize how long and frustrating their first game could be at times? (Their dialogue sometimes gets as boring as The Longest Journey.)

I think they should have just skipped the cliffhanger ending and moved on. Which I guess they did anyways, except fans don't have a complete story.

Toonstruck is one one of my favourite games and the possibility of a sequel makes my mouth water:9. Never thought about searching the net for info about it though. So thanks for doing so Jannar :). The artwork that was never included in the original game seams pretty neat but , as the site owner says himself, this was meant for the first game, not for a whole new 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 :frown:. 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

Yes, but he also says that after they realised they couldn't put all their work into the first game, they were promised that they would be able to use it for a sequel. Which never happened.

Oh, those sequels that never was realesed. Look at the bright side: now those games are completely unspoiled by stupid controls, flat dialogs and illogical puzzles.
