I present, Tine+Return. My "Away" Project you might call it.

As I work here, at a small discreet summer camp during my break, the absence of the internet is a real drag, but....

It has given me time to work on a a proper sequal to Trine+Tine, and not some simple four hour crawler like the first. No, this project is becoming a wind storm, growing with power every time I resume spriting and editing the game mechanics a bit more. Due to my slow connection, I dare not release any screens just yet, rather, I will wait until I can release a proper game page and work out some of the finer kinks, but I shall reveal some of the mechanics and setting that this game takes place in.

Setting
This game will take place about 3068 years after the first game, but will follow an alternate ending for the first game. No longer did Megai succed in defeating the being known as Zypher, rather all the endings for Trine+Tine were merely delusions created by a forced imprisonmentd. In the time that Megai remains "preserved", Zypher has split into 6 lords, and a wraith, which holds his original persona. Underneath the control of these lords, the world has rotted away and become a mere shell, filled with machines that provide power in exchange for life.

Mechanics
1. Battle Stamina Limit: All battles will be set to a timer, so fight as fast as you can before Megai hits his borderline and dies of a heart attack.

2. AIC(Alignment is Cheap): Choices can change your alignment, but so can items and even weapons shift your alignment. Remember, Megai has different options unlocked depending on his alignment.

3. Soul Radiation: With the world in decay and ruins, there are some areas of the world that can drain you of your soul and mind, known as Soul Radiation. Keep your Soul Radiation under 20%, and you will be fine. Any higher and you may begin developing soul sickness, a disease that will drain at your energy and life.

4. Final Game Limit: The entire playtime must be under a certain time or parts of the world will go up in smoke. Move fast, or else that town you just visited be reduced into a mere abyss.

5. Dynamic Moon Cycles: The cycles of the moon affects the Zypher and thier minions. Ulitize this to kill them when they are weakest, but be warned: Not all of them hit thier peak at full moon.
