Funnily enough, when I was out at Game Convention in Germany last week, quite a few people said that we seemed very quiet, nothing going on etc.

Actually nothing could be further from the truth, it's as busy as it's ever been and by far the most exciting for quite some time. The problem is that few, if any, of our projects have been announced by our publishing partners.

There's not a lot we can really do about that until we're given the green-light to talk about anything, so for now people will need to sit tight. I'd certainly hope some announcement about a live-arcade title will be just around the corner, as well as a title on PS2. Meanwhile we are busy with other titles on next-gen (Unreal3 engine based), handheld (PSP/DS) and digital distribution platforms (PS3 and Live-Arcade 360 - as well as PC); we also hope to add a Wii title into the mix in the near future just for absolute balance :-)

well that is a relief, i was beggining to think that there was nothing to look forward to for a while

Holy s**t Spadge, that's awesome! You guys have pretty much got all the next-gen consoles covered, and the handheld consoles to boot!

Can't wait to hear what these games are all about.


SiN

Yay!

Handheld!

:( No Mac titles in there :( ;)

*Runs*

Glad to see T17 are busy

Damn, you had me excited there for a moment. I really hope you're allowed to talk about this soon. It all sounds so awesome.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

YAY! new game on 360! YAY! new game on PC! YAY team17!

Well, I'm glad you have publishers. And I'm glad to see that no matter what next-gen platform I choose, if any, I'll be able to play a T17 game. I'm especially looking forward to the digital distribution game(s). I'm guessing the PC game will be on Gametap.

A lot of our historical offerings should appear on Gametap, but not necessarily new titles.

The plans for digital distribution on PC are not outlined fully yet and may not commence until 2007.

next-gen (Unreal3 engine based)

HOLY.....
Is T17 finally coming with a game with really good graphics? God, you're too good.

For your own sake, you better hope that Luther doesn't read this thread.

I bet all of you at Team17 are really looking forward to 2007, because of the 17 years.:D . Would there be a Team17 anthology?:D .

Why is Team17 called Team17? Is it because there were 17 members to begin with, or... ? :-/

No, because they were "that bit better than the rest" back in the days of 16-bit games.

I wonder how many times people have asked that very question. I also wonder how many times "is it because there were 17 members?" has been asked with it.

There were actually 7 members at the time and were origanally called "Team7". They callled themselves Team17 because of the 17 bit software, they didn't want to neglect that software they loved.:) .

well... on wikipedia- it says they used to be called "17 bit"- as in 16 bit but one bit better.
then it was just "team 17".


I am happy.

I now know everything.

It's probably a combination of both.

Nice to know you chaps are cracking on on lots of lovely things to fit all the other lovely things people will be playing them on. Nice to see you're not focusing on one area and spreading your new releases over lots of platforms.

Hearing T17 is developing for nintendo consoles excites me as much as it scares me to death. Come on guys, please don't mess up this time: your titles suit nintendo so well...

Well, great to hear you've got quite a bit in the pipeline. I hope it's announced soon; we've been 'speculating' for far too long.

I think it was because some of the teamsters were the first ever to drink more than 16 beers while playing through Maniac Mansion.

No, no. The sonic team beat them to it.

They were two companies, one called Team7, and the other called 17 Bit Software, because they were "that bit better than the rest" in the days of 16-bit architecture. They merged.

next-gen (Unreal3 engine based)

YES! ALIEN BREED! ALIEN BREED! AAAAALIEN BREEEEEEEED!

Sounds like you's are keeping busy. I hope to see some good stuff!

YES! ALIEN BREED! ALIEN BREED! AAAAALIEN BREEEEEEEED!
He already said it's not Alien Breed :(

He already said it's not Alien Breed :(

Quiet! Don't ruin it yet!

I hope it is on the wii

He already said it's not Alien Breed :(
:(

Well then, it's not Alien Breed, and it's not a FPS, but it uses the Unreal3 Engine. Sounds like a fresh game whatever it is, so i'm happy :).

What we're up to...

Guzzling beer i guess...:rolleyes:

I am hoping to see more classic titles such as alien breed and superfrog on gametap. that would be nice :)

I hope it is on the wiiThey also said they're not working on that.

...yet.

Both of these are planned.

WOOHOO!

Wait, what's Gametap?

Wait, what's Google?

:/

When in doubt, use the Wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gametap

Google works too.

Nice to hear you guys still do stuff. :p
Looking forward to whats comming up...maybe a bran new game? I guess I'll just have to sit and wait. Then find out, and do fanart for it.

and digital distribution platforms (PS3 and Live-Arcade 360 - as well as PC) Thats a very hairy comment. If you had said "We are currently working on a game for the PC" then woo:D But since it wasn't so straight forward as that I am suspicious.

Its good to know that Team 17 are working their behinds off but, since I only have the one paltform (the PC), I am a little concerned.

They appear to be taking a long-needed break from any pink and squirmy franchise.

I agree that worms dose need a good break (not forever of course) but I would not mind another spin off worms game. Like worms blast or worms pinball.

I think they have exhausted the franchise a touch. They need a big break where everybody asks "Hey, remember those worms games? They were good. Whatever happened to them?" and then to make a huge come back in style...

Yeah, like Earthworm Jim. Only I'm not sure if he's coming back in style....

Gosh. Whatever DID happen to earthworm jim?

*Que the mystery-defeating clever nerd with a link to wikipedia*

Gosh. Whatever DID happen to earthworm jim?
Didn't you hear? There's a new EWJ game in development!
Use the search function, there was a topic about it here somewhere.

You meant "cue".

I...Damn it I hate you people.

I...Damn it I hate you people.Who? T17 or the above posters?

*Que the mystery-defeating clever nerd with a link to wikipedia* Those people.

What is Worms HD? Is that a project in the works?

Will there be a new Alien Breed on the UE3?

Please consider developing Worms World Party for Wii or Wii Virtual Console with online play!

im very happy to see one of team 17s titles will be on ps2/3 again. I missed out on worms 4

hah, my bad, i completely forgot that worms 4 was released on PS2, but i live in the US...

Good to see they arn't completly dead after Lemmings

I know the day might not ever come (with the problems of getting publishers who want to do it and that) but...

How amazing it would be if Team17 started making another all-platforms 2D worms game. I guess its practicaly EVERYONE's dream, how crap it might not happen though.

This thread is hilarious.

all-platforms 2D worms gameWhat, you mean like those irritating levels in Worms 2 Mission Mode? :p
