A look at Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger prototype

It seems like only yesterday that we first started posting about Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger on Sumea, but nearly a decade has passed since the first incarnation of the million-plus selling 3D platformer was just one of the ideas that a bunch of developers at Krome Studios were proposing.

The Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger fan page contains two very interesting prototype videos up for viewing from those times. While these videos show aren't going to impress too many, they do however give a very insightful look at an early stage of development of one of Australia's classic home-grown titles.

Check out the videos out at these links...

As one if the most successful home grown titles I've been wondering what happened to the Ty franchise?
Maybe some of you industry veterans could shed some light. It's been a long time since the last release and I for one would welcome another release. I may be crazy but I'd of thought the wii controller would be a good fit for it.

Krome totally should revisit this license for DLC.
