Yes, I've decided to add another chapter to the still moderately interesting saga of Tulle's world.
But! This time I've learnt a lot from my previous mistakes, I've studied other games as well as computer graphics en masse.
So, TW4, or "Lady Rogue" which is the production title, will be a comedy (in contrast to its prequel) and will have little in common with the other games except the world it takes place in, and that the protagonist is a thief.
So you play a young female thief, in fact she's the only remaing descendant to the great Tulle, and she's on a secret mission.
A wedding is to take place in Triliman, capital of Thendor. An important wedding, meant to reconsile with an age-old rival nation by uniting their blood lines. Alas! The crown jewels get stolen the night before the great ceremony, and without them, no wedding can take place.
Who's better suited to track down and find the thieves than the local heroine thief herself?

Candale, the bridge from the Town of poor to the town of rich.
So far, I keep a pretty good pace, but the road is incalculably long, and I can't give a deadline date except for sometime in early 2005.
This is more or less a solo-project, so far I believe (or hope) that Ghormak will do the music.
I might, however, be in need of an assistant artist, so if you believe you can do graphics my style, and have lots of spare time, give me a PM.
Wow!
Beautiful and interesting!
Early 2005 sounds optimistic though, given those production values.
Unless you're *well* underway?
Good luck!
stunning. cant wait!
I've never played any of Tulle's world, but I guess i havent got around (excuses).
The story sounds great, and the graphics are great.
The only thing that I generally dont like in games with girl heroes is when the author only changes the heroes sex and not the other charachteristics ( imagine Ben as a girl, with the spitting, deep voice and all. Sometimes it works (if it would be Schafers), but usually doesnt).
I dont think i elaborated enough this time, but will come around to do it.
Good luck and a lot of strong headness(?) during the production.
oneoneone!!11one!1
Smashing news! I like the look of those backgrounds, really nice stuff. I've always found earlier Tulle's worlds interesting so I'll be looking forward to this one. Inspirating stuff, keep it up.
Looks good, I'll download the predeccessors (The 2nd one been remade yet?)
Amazing art, Andail.
The plot sounds interesting too. Two big thumbs up!
Looks, and sounds, really good!
I like the deep plot, it sounds very well thought out.
The screenshots look great.
I look forward to following the progress of this one!
I like the look of that moonshine :)
I hope you will succeed in making a good mix of original humour and interesting plot.
I can vaguely confirm I'll be lending a helping hand to Andail. You can stop being enthusiastic about this game now!
(but seriously, those backgrounds look fantastic)
/me wants TW2!1!11!
Awsome andail, cant wait!
Wow, it looks gorgeous @_@ I can't wait for this one! What's with all these great artists popping up recently?
Sometimes it's good to start up a new project, so I'm guessing your dropping that futuristic one for awhile?
I think I remember playing Tulles world one for a bit back in the days...If I remember right you took number 2 off the market cause you didn't like it? Do you ever plan on fixing that on up? It would be cool ....
Good luck and impressive art.
Looks so promising. I can't wait.
Bt
I've never played Tulle's World before, but I guess I will after looking at those graphics. The screenshots look so Wind Wakery (which is a huge compliment) and the story sounds interesting.
Release this game soon, y'hear?
That's beautiful Andail. Wow.
The colours are really stunning.
GUZZO! GET THE HELL BACK TO WORK!!
Andail: That's awesome that there's a new Tulles world! I really enjoyed The Glorious Realm of Thendor and this sounds equally as good :)
Unfotunately I'm unable to see any screenshots on your site since the page can't be found for some reason. Can you post a couple here and put a link to your site undernieth them?
Thank you,

First, thanks a bunch, Snake and Rodekill and the rest, you've said very kind words!
Snake; do the screenshots above not display properly?
Don't mind my own site, it hasn't been updated for ages, and I'm not sure whether it still exists at all. But these screenies are on another server (namely Esseb's) so it shouldn't be a problem.
Squinky; the futuristic one is cancelled. I just lost interest in it, and I don't intend to ever pick it up again. It's a shame I spent so much work and energy on it before I decided to cancel it, though.
Gilbert; One day, TW2 will see the light of day again. I've already said you'll be the first to play it, and I'll stick to that :)
The screenshots are pngs, which means some older browsers might not be able to view them. That could be Snake's problem...

Well, I'm sure you learned a good deal about managing a project while doing it....and other stuff. None of that effort was wasted I'm sure...

Nope, Snakes internet just sucks ass...Heh...
I'm very happy for the continuation of the Tulle saga, yet...
Something in the first screenshot caught my attention. You aren't going to use distorted shapes (the tower!11!) to make the game funnier, by any chance? YOU AESTHETIC TRAITOR!
Also, I'm sad for Sibila's demise. I liked the demo more than Tulle World's... but maybe Andail decided to postpone it since I never told him how I feel about it... and others also were too greedy of praise... and maybe this is why people live, like they dream - alone....

You mean Internet "Abandoned" Exploiter, right? ;)
I'm jelaous of Andail. I should have beaten him up when I met him. His computer art skills are wonderful!
Har, yeah, my internet likes to pretend it's retarded a lot. It was probably just running super slow and I didn't notice the screens ;)
Andail, your art slaps the cat's ass! Fricken awesome, I say :) Keep it up...

can't believe I haven't seen this thread before!
TW was one of the very first AGS games I played, thinking of another "episode" makes me dance with joy!
the graphics look incredible andail! real fresh!
can't wait to see more, MORE, MOREEE!!!!!!
Good luck Andail!
You know I loved part 3 (but never got to play the first parts, 1 because I just didn't, 2 because it didn't come back online).
I'm sad to hear that Sibylla was cancelled!
Whoa, that looks stunning! Hope I'll get to play this game someday!
