Any updates?

Are there any official updates on the state of the re-release? Or even just making the original game purchasable again. I missed out on buying the original version but been wanting to play it ever since Extra Credits recommended it.

Kinda sad you can't purchase it at all anymore, I would have gladly put up with the buggy version as I wanted to play it mainly for the story. Additionally sad since you can't even find a complete let's play or something on youtube or anywhere. Kinda damns the game to be erased from existence forever...

I really hope the dev gets back to it and finishes it as well. The website for Chromophore lists it as "76% complete," but I'm not sure when that was last updated - the last update post is from 2016 saying they're taking time off due to some personal things to handle but plan to get back to it. It sounds like things were pretty rough, so I hope things are better for them now. They were also making a game called YIIK which is supposed to come out first.

edit: I just did a bunch of digging on their websites, Tumblr, and Twitter, and it looks like they are at development again and showing off a demo of YIIK at Pax East! Hopefully they have time to finish up Chromophore at some point, just like you I really want to play this one (but I ran into some really bad bugs).

edit 2: I did some more Twitter digging, and found this tweet from January of this year: "YIIK will be out before Chromophore, but this summer will hold something special for people who have waited. Our plans are very different than originally intended, but we want everyone to experience Two Brothers somehow. #gamedev"

Good to know they didn't completely abandon it, thanks for the info! Guess it's just a matter of staying patient then. Wouldn't be the first game that took a decade of development time. x'D

I hope they will get back to Two Brothers!

last i heard about it they were having some trouble with the team they outsorced it to and had to sort that out before they could do anything with the game

>this summer
:(

I actually contacted him and got a reply back stating that it was still on for this summer. Soooo I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

The lack of communication is extremely troubling. I have had the game sitting on my library for years now waiting for a fixed improved version that was promised.

Great news but apparently, it will be a remake so not sure if it will be released as the same game but a separate and it happens, hopefully people that have original game will not be charged.

Honestly, I'd pay full price just to play the game without bugs. I loved the concept and played as far as I could but bugs kept me from fully enjoying it.

Huh I was unaware Yiik was made by the same guy(s). Good that there's some news at last.

Really hope people who already bought the game aren't charged again.

Came back to check on this scam. Unsurprisingly game still broken and dev fled the scene.

They plan on finishing Two Brothers after they are done w/ YIIK's story patch (their gameplay overhaul patch just launched a few months ago).

[Thanatos]

Ha, no they don't. Also YIIK launched over two years ago so that update was yet another lie about releasing a patch for its two year anniversary.
