Gunman Clive 2 creator Bertil Hörberg has confirmed that the game has been submitted to lot check in the United States. Whether or not it will launch this year is currently unclear.
Hörberg also shared a price point for Gunman Clive 2 over on Twitter. It will cost $3 – slightly more than the original’s $2, but still very much affordable.
Here’s the full roundup of Hörberg’s recent tweets:
Submitted the US version to lotcheck (still need to wait for the ratings for the EU version)
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) December 1, 2014
may have missed the deadline to get it out this year even if it does pass on the first try though
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) December 1, 2014
I should have the PEGI rating later this week and USK shortly after, but the Australian submission hasn't even been delivered there yet
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) December 1, 2014
It's ridiculous that they won't accept submission digitally, and even more ridiculous how long the post is taking
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) December 1, 2014
Gunman Clive 2 will be $3 in the US eShop.

I'm a bit conflicted about doing such low prices, but it worked out well for the first game and now that's the reference point

Gunman Clive 2 has been in development for a year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Gunman Clive 2 has been in the works for about a year, according to Bertil Hörberg.
Hörberg told Nintendo Enthusiast:
I started development in November last year, which may not seem very long ago, but I’ve already spent more time on it than I did on the first game. I don’t have the patience or the stamina to work on massive projects that takes several years, so the fatigue is really starting to set in and I’m hoping to be able to finish the game somewhat soon.
As for what we can expect from Gunman Clive 2: a slightly longer experience, a change in visuals, and improved controls. That’s on top of new enemies and obstacles, varied environments, and more special levels.
Overall, it’s a fairly straight forward sequel. The first game was rather short and people were asking for more levels, so that’s basically what I’m giving them, but at the same time, I’m trying to bring it up a notch and deliver a more exiting product with its own identity. The most obvious change is probably the color palette and there’s a bit more graphical detail as well. The controls is a bit faster and the jump a bit less floaty.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
About a year ago, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg shared a look at a brand new title. The project, which was said to be “very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games”, all but disappeared soon after.
Hörberg took to Twitter today and confirmed that his Zelda-inspired title has been cancelled. On the bright side though, he may have news to share about his actual next game in the coming days.
Hörberg wrote:
Sorry for the radio silence lately; next week there might finally be some news of my next game

Not the zelda-like game I showed a while back though, that project is unfortunately dead
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) June 6, 2014
kindof strange yet heart warming to see people lamenting the cancellation of an indie game they've only seen 2 gif animations of

[Developer Musings] Jools Watsham, Bertil Hörberg, and Sean Velasco talk about making game trailers
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Developer Musings, Features, General Nintendo | 5 Comments
Nintendo Everything is introducing a brand new feature known as “Developer Musings”. For each entry, a few different Nintendo developers (usually between 3-5) will share their thoughts about a particular topic, ranging from developer-specific ones (like our first topic below) to more “light” subjects (such as their favorite Nintendo games).
We’re kicking things off today with three prominent developers you should recognize if you’ve been keeping up with the indie scene: Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg, and Yacht Club Games’ Sean Velasco.
For our first topic, we asked these trio of prominent developers about making game trailers. How do they decide on what elements to include in these videos? Which areas of the game do they choose to focus on? How do they decide on which gameplay features to showcase? How do they determine the amount of gameplay to include? These are just some of the questions we sought to gain insight on.
Head past the break for some thoughts from Watsham, Hörberg, and Velasco about creating game trailers.
