As we told you yesterday, the Meteor Games team has decided to switch from doing a 3D game to doing a 2D game set in an earlier time period (approximately 30 years). However, Adam didn't tell you this:
The 3D MMO isnt totally dead, its just put on ice for the time being. The 2D version will be set in the same world, just at a slightly different time period (we are still thinking about the best way to do this, so nothing is set in stone yet).
We are working on something in 3D, although it isnt specifically Twin Skies and I am not going to give any more details about that just yet. It is definitely very unique and interesting though. For those of you wanting to see something 3D come out of the Meteor Games office, you will. :P As a result of the switch, the Twin Skies main site will be quiet for a while -- it will stay around as a source for Twin Skies-related games and news, but will be changed around to remove some content relating to the MMO's release that may be misleading to some users. The Twin Skies Team will also be posting previews of non-Twin Skies games on the Meteor Games site. To discuss this further, head on over to our forums! Change of Plans - Twin Skies Going 2D?

According to Adam, Twin Skies may be going 2D! In a topic posted earlier today, he stated that it was a bad time to create a 3D game given the current economy. It was also said that the 2D game is going to keep all the elements of Twin Skies that have currently been released, such as the Classes, Races, NPCs, etc -- however, it'll be set approximately 30 years before the meteors began striking the two planets.
A lot of things have changed in the last few months, we've taken a few steps back and realised that creating a 3D MMO is really, really hard, especially in this economy. We've come so far with the design, quests, and lore, but we feel that it's just a really risky and bad time to try and follow through with our plans and complete the game. Donna and myself have a much stronger background in 2D content (at least that's what it says on our resumes) and this is the direction we feel the company should pursue.
So... we're not doing a 3D MMO any more. If things go well its certainly an option for us in the future, but its not something we're going to make a decision on for the next year at least. Twin Skies is going to be in 2D, made in Flash and it's going to be free to play. It'll be the same world, the same monsters, the same Canopy Elves, Humans, Merfolk, Walrus Men, Bus Drivers etc., however it will be set in a different period of time, before the meteors struck and all the chaos started happening. Along with this shift also will also come a Twin Skies site update, as the site will become irrelevant when the 2D world comes out. In addition to switching from 3D to 2D, they also said that they were developing a new petsite based on some elements of Twin Skies. You can discuss this change (and the potentially new petsite) in our forums! Concept Art: Merfolk and a Viking!

Although Adam is attempting to befuddle a number of the forum members at Twin Skies, he has released some new concept art images of the newest race, the Merfolk. He has also shared an image of a Viking who will be featured in a game due out this month. You can also see some of the new character hairstyles that you can customize with. Thanks for the cake Adam! Happy Holidays & Third Race Update

The TSH Staff would like to take this time to wish everyone a very happy and safe holiday!
Hi all
I realise we have been super quiet lately. As some of you have guessed it is the holiday season and a lot of people have taken some time off to go see their family and spread the Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hanukkah cheer. We will all be back in January and have some big announcements for you guys which should help explain what we have been secretly working away at. More pictures of our third race, the Merfolk, will be going up in the new year as well as some background information about them. In the meantime we wish you an awesome Christmas and new year. From Donna, Adam and all the folks at Meteor Games. One-Player Tower Defense
