Co-op: local co-op will be added, this may include local host or split-screen.this is something we wanted to do in the flash version but couldn’t due to limitations, this will def. The ability to save and return to a play session.We will try to do a loyalty pre-order discount to anyone who owns the game on pc.i think a fresh coat of paint is needed and i think its kinda appropriate/funny to do a damake for the remake. The game will be getting a full 16bit make over, im doing this because i think the art is tired and im sick of looking at it.I will be lead designer on the project, making sure things are as perfect as we can make them and as true to the original as possible, i will also be designing all the new content and features.The game will feature new music by Danny B as well as some spicy remixes of old tunes.The game will go into full time development the 1st of the year and is set to be finished by the end of the year (but we know how this stuff goes).
