I uh... guess I missed this little news bit?

 

[Yoshiro]

The press release is rolling out now

 

[Bobdog]

Shiny!

 

[Alexei]

another one? good good

 

[Fedorov]

looks like it can be fun, are you guys improving the project like you did with KF?, are you only publishing?, or is it something in between?

 

[ButchCassidy]

Good Lord this one was from left field..lol..Cool well done guys..Looks an interesting game..

With Killing Floor we bought the rights to the game and worked with the original mod team but also did a LOT of in-house development getting the game ready for a commercial release. With The Ball, we are primarily publishing and then operating in more of an advisory capacity. Teotl is doing the actual development. Really the game is already awesome, so we'll be helping them get it into your hands

 

[Fedorov]

So they've got your pro advice without slowing down RO2 development?, thats win/win =P

 

[ilQ]

Will there be demo version of ''The ball''?
(edit: typo)

 

[Zetsumei]

I believe you can download the MSU contest version for free on the UDK, could be wrong though.

You can indeed right here.

However the retail version has been recieving a large overhaul so is still worth the purchase, the UDK version is an extended demo really. Check the latest news on their ModDB page.

The UDK demo is not the MSU version but only a small piece of it, plus the demo is almost a year old now so it is quite outdated. Ignore the UDK demo and wait for the real deal

I R Confused

Is this game out now or is it coming soon soon? Or "valve soon" ?

Looks pretty darn fun, reminds me a little bit of Portal, and I love those kinds of games! Can't wait to try it!

 

[illinifan]

looks like a pretty cool game. recession friendly price as well?

on a side note, didn't you guys also publish another indie game. the names slipping my mind but its the one with a unique combat system. jw why that game doesn't have a forum section as well

 

[Bobdog]

Zeno Clash.

 

[Yoshiro]

Zeno Clash has its own forums.

I Remember seeing this before a while back, the mod was great, good to see someone branching away from FPS(RO is still great ) in a market dominated by it.

 

[J.D.*]

Will this game or has this game changed much from the Demo provided by EPIC for the UDK? I remember hoppin around in this awhile back.

Congrats TWI and the Ball Team!

still really hard to believe you now actually publish games. I mean, It's not that long ago when you were a bunch of modders, now you already released 2 of your own titles with another one in the making AND publish already the second title now.

GO TWI GO!
