Co-op Teaser and redesigned website
April 10th, 2013 - Lawrie

Website has been redesigned and keep up to date with more regular news there. Also I don't think I've shouted loud enough about CO-OP MODE?!?!?!!

So here's a video cus the game is TV themed not shouting themed.

I might update the Steam demo with a co-op level too.

Future Plans
February 6th, 2013 - Lawrie

So I had dinner with some people from Valve last night (along with around 50 other British Indie devs). It was a really great experience and I realised some mistakes I've been making with the game. Originally I'd been very apprehensive of making any promises about what the game will and won't have but this has been at the expensive of the community. So today I'm going to put that right and lay out my intentions for the game.

Post Release Road Map:

Since the game is written in XNA it supports both the PC and the Xbox platforms with ease, however Microsoft hamstring indie developers on the Xbox by not allowing them to release any free content after the game has launched (some developers have stuck in extra content with bug fixes, but it's definitely against their rules). So I'll be delaying the Xbox version while I work on the first batch of extra levels aiming to boost the co-op side of the game.

Around the same time a friend of mine experienced in porting XNA games to Linux and Mac will look at porting to the Mono API. I can't promise that this will work but I have high hopes that it will.

I also intend to release my level editor although this will take a good amount of work to prevent the user from making levels that will crash, as well as put out a series of tutorials on how the system works.

That's all I have planned for now but there could be more. I can't promise all of these things will definitely happen but it's certainly my intention to do all of these.

Cheers,
Lawrie.

Description
Release date: 2013
"In Trash TV, the lead character quite literally is a television. That is the first bit I liked. It’s a sentient telly trapped in a nightmarish recycling centre, fighting its way out through puzzle strewn 2D levels, doing battle with vending machines and toasters." - Hookshot Inc

"Trash TV appears to be a platform game at first but is really more of a puzzler, although a puzzler in which the solution to everything is GUNS. There’s loads of GUNS and they enable the television that you are inexplicably controlling to escape from the garbage-haunted recycling plant that is an abattoir for such trash and detritus." - Rock Paper Shotgun

A Linux version is guaranteed, a test port has been done to confirm it's possible!

This definately looks like fun.

I think in the demo version remapping during play doesn't commit the changes but changing them from the main menu does. When the game is nearer release I'll put out a much larger demo with co-op and a fix for that error.

I was playing the demo earlier. There's something wrong with the key bindings. I literally had to press every button to find out how to shoot and jump. For some reason the keys it was bound to wasn't working. I had to press C or X, or something. If you can't rebind keys can you show the proper control ones on your next rendition of the demo?

Coded a cool adaptive split screen thing today. Merges together when close enough, splits when apart and rotates to match the situation. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34675660/AdaptiveSplitScreenCnmp.gif
