Made this for other platforms that support vertical shorts better, but people found it funny so might as well try to share it here too. 🦎

Our most-asked question has to be which games have inspired us with Longtail!
So we made a list for you:
- Jak and Daxter (the biggest one)
- Spyro
- Crash Bandicoot
- Ratchet & Clank
- Tomb Raider
- Zelda
- Kingdom Hearts
- Tomba!

We are making Longtail in the spirit of PS2 and GameCube era classics, so our ideal player would be someone who enjoyed the games from 2000's.
Now these people are adults, likely with kids, careers, etc.
Would be awesome if our game provided them with something fun to do with
Here's a fun new addition to Longtail:
🎯 Training dummies!
They still lack animations and functionality, but thought it would be fun to share some WIPs anyway.

What's your favorite boss fight from a 3D platformer?
Maybe Ripper Roo from Crash Bandicoot?
Or perhaps a specific Bowser fight in Mario games?
We're in the process of making the first boss for Longtail and would like to hear what you enjoy. 👀✨

Hey there everyone. ✨
We are a small indie game studio working on a 3D platformer inspired by the GameCube and PS2-era classics.
Here's a little comparison between what the game looked like in 2017 vs 2024. We really have come a long way, huh?
Project: Longtail will need a proper name soon. 🤔
We need to find one that best describes his adventures through bastions in search of ancient powers.
Will be tough to decide.

We are making a game inspired by the classic PS2 and GameCube era 3D platformers like Jak & Daxter, Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, and many more.
We hope this tickles a bit of that nostalgic itch!
There's currently only one playable animal in Longtail that you can befriend.
We have planned to include a few more. ✨
What would be your dream animal to play as?
What is Longtail all about?
Our aim is to bring you an adventure game filled with memorable characters and unique ways to enjoy exploration.

Late 2023 game development recap! ✨
We have been (and still are) making a 3D platformer inspired by the GameCube and PS2-era classics.
What are you looking forward to the most in Longtail?
#indiegames
We get a lot of questions about the release date for Longtail.
There are still a lot of things we want to add and FIX before the game is ready, so it's hard to give a timeline that would hold up.
That being said, thanks to everyone who's been sticking around thus far! 🙏🧡
It's the Year of the Dragon! 🐉🧡
Sharing anything dragon-related would be too many spoilers for Project: Longtail...
So here's our cute lizard solving a puzzle instead.

What if Longtail was released on the PlayStation 2 console in the early 2000s?
We take a lot of inspiration from the games around that era, so it's fun to imagine!

Yes, there will be a lot of water in our game. 🫧
But don't worry, we'll do our best to make it fun for you to explore in.
In the meantime check out this cool boosted jump trick we implemented a while ago!
We did a little test cutscene a while ago that plays when you find valuable collectibles. ✨🦎
Very much WIP but thought it would be fun to share.

A dynamic kid duo in our 3D platformer game? That's right. This is K'ita and Činanayah.
K'ita is very energetic and always has ideas for mischievous activities.
Činanayah on the other hand is very timid and always trying his best to prevent his friend from doing anything stupid.
You will meet many new faces on your journey through the world of Longtail.
Some of them will need a bit of help from you! 🦎✨
Longtail is always willing to lend a hand, especially when there's compliments and rewards to be had.
A new gameplay area reveal! 🚩✨
We were part of the Impact Game Direct on April 1st where we showcased this unique town coming to Longtail.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Most things in our 3D platformer are powered by the ancient blue energy.
It's often utilized in technology left behind by Longtail's ancestors. 🦎⚡️
If you come across objects infused with it, try interacting with them and see what happens!
#3Dplatformers
There have been some new adjustments made to Longtail's swimming mechanics recently! 💦
He can now do a little boost that lets you jump out of the water in style.
What do you think? Does it look satisfying to you guys? 👀

Check out this original sketch of the elephant creature (that everyone seems to like) coming to our 3D platformer game. 🐘
This is how the fella started out.
Many of us are on summer vacation right now. ☀️
Including most of our game dev team members.
Not to anyone's surprise, Longtail also feels like joining in and taking a day or two off. 🦎
