BigJKO Posted June 26, 2011 Sounds like the creators of The Neverhood are working on a mobile version of it. Wonder How it holds up today. There are some updates on their twitter account www.twitter.com/NeverhoodMobile There's no official press release, so this could turn out to be a joke. A very mean joke..

syntheticgerbil Posted June 27, 2011 Guess I've never understood full classic games on mobile device, but sure I suppose it's good it gets released again somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorn Posted June 27, 2011 If this is true, why on earth wouldn't they re-release it for PC first? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted June 27, 2011 I have always wanted to play this game. But not on a phone. |: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted June 27, 2011 Why does it say it's going to be for "mobile phones"? It might work on an iPad, but I don't see it working that well on a smaller screen without a zoom function. I smell shenanigans! How come Doug Tennapel hasn't said a word about this yet? How come they aren't following Doug and viceversa? Maybe this is just some fan trying to get The Neverhood on mobile phones? A fan of The Neverhood who doesn't know who Doug Tennapel is... And wants it on "mobile phones"? Not to mention that the screenshots are not from the "mobile phone" game, the fool is posting photos of the soundtrack and the PC CD, that doesn't make sense even for possible unlockable bonus features. I'm going to say either this is a very silly / insane fan or a troll. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted June 28, 2011 Why wouldn't it work? Broken Sword worked fine on an iPhone screen, I thought.. But yes, this does all sound a bit fishy. They are following Doug, though. But not vice versa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigJKO Posted June 28, 2011 Turns out Doug retweeted it! This might actually be true. https://twitter.com/#!/TenNapel - It's down at around June 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanukitsune Posted June 28, 2011 Woah! He retweeted it? That's a good sign! Broken Sword didn't need a zoom function for when you had to pixel hunt? All other adventure game ports to the iPhone that I played needed one. It looks the "company" behind this is Bazinga Studios, which only has a Facebook page, which is even fishier. Who knows, maybe it's actually formed by people who actually worked on The Neverhood, but that doesn't mean they have any rights to make the game. The red tape they'll have to deal with might be a nightmare? But now that Doug has given the whole project some veracity, I'm feeling slightly less skeptical.

BigJKO Posted June 28, 2011 Hmm.. I can't remember. There might've been a zoom function. As far as I recall, there was just a "show-hotspots" button. I'll check. EDIT: Yeah, it shows the hotspots if you want to, but no zoom. Anyways, Neverhood had some huge hotspots, right? Big buttons and not a lot of them per screen. And it zoomed in to a larger picture everytime you had to do something a bit more complicated (sliding puzzles.. ugh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a purple future Posted July 2, 2011 god i loved this game. the hall of records! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted July 2, 2011 According to the Facebook page, they're still negotiating the rights. Which would explain why the screenshots are obviously not mobile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
