Chances are that you won’t be seeing DLC in any of Shin’en’s games. That’s because, as the company said on Twitter recently, the team doesn’t “plan for DLC”. Instead, Shin’en prefers to “release a 100% complete game for a fair price.”

Shin’en’s comments in full are as follows:

Lost Decade Games plans to bring A Wizard’s Lizard to Wii U down the road. A release date hasn’t been set, though it’ll hopefully arrive sooner rather than later.

The fact that development on A Wizard’s Lizard has been completed hopefully means we’ll be seeing the game hitting the eShop in the near future. On PC, it’s due out on January 22.

Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes announced a reboot for the company today.

Below are the clear-cut facts, as presented on the studio’s official blog:

• The old Two Tribes B.V., who employed the developers, is now gone.
• Its parent company, Two Tribes Publishing B.V., that owns and publishes all our games and handles all contracts, remains unaffected.
• A new daughter company has been formed and it will handle the development of future titles.
• The original founders Martijn Reuvers and Collin van Ginkel aren’t going anywhere.

Two Tribes says that “nothing much will change” for the general public. Behind the scenes though, there’s a lot that won’t be staying the same.

Two Tribes wrote:

We’ve got a ton of hindsight to work with and we’re going to be applying the lessons we learned to the new Two Tribes. Behind the scenes things will change quite a bit. We’ve decided to move away from creating custom technology and focus on what’s readily available. As a result we’ll be working with a much smaller team on our next game, a 2D side scrolling shooter, which will be re-using the existing Toki Tori 2+ engine.

Our focus will be on the design of our games, which we plan on making more of in less time than before.
