Stealth Inc 2 estimated to be twice as big as the original, nearing completion
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Curve Studios is wrapping up work on the Wii U exclusive title Stealth Inc 2. The game is said to be “in the final straits now”, according to the company’s Jonathan Biddle.
Biddle tweeted a status update for Stealth Inc 2 earlier today while also revealing that the game is about twice as big as the original.
He said:
Stealth Inc 2 has turned out huge. 182 rooms, over 500 screens in size. It's about 2 Stealth Inc 1s, which sounds somehow like it should be.

Phew! Stealth Inc 2 in the final straits now. All content and features done, just messy and buggy. Submission mere weeks away.
— Bidds (@onebitbeyond) July 22, 2014
We've made this monster in only nine months too. Probably only possible because we made it all in GameMaker first to solidify the design.

A message sent to backers states, “A review of the project uncovered evidence that it broke Kickstarter’s rules.”
Here’s the message in full:

The Deer God reaches Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
The Deer God met its Kickstarter funding goal last week. However, just a few hours ago, the campaign’s donations hit $40,000. This means that a Wii U version of The Deer God will now be made a reality.
A $55,000 3DS stretch goal was announced last week, but is unlikely to be met with just over a day remaining in the campaign.
As far as the game itself is concerned, The Deer God is a platformer “about survival, reincarnation, and karma, all set in a breathtaking and unique 3D pixelized world.” It’s targeted for launch in 2015.
Check out the official Kickstarter page for The Deer God here.

Arc System Works has announced its latest title for the Japanese Wii U eShop, Tank SP. It seems to be fairly similar to the 3DS eShop title Tank 3D, but with extra elements like a two-player split-screen mode. The game will launch on July 30 for 800 yen.
