Support The Tiny Tale by Running Pillow!

Running Pillow wrote:We are glad to hear you like the game! Everyone who had played our game had positive overall reactions so far. However we run into unexpected problems on BFG side. They seems to think that the visual art of the game wont appeal to their customers and therefore are not willing to release The Tiny Tale at all. We are quite shocked by this as I said before, noone has a problem with the visual art so far. So we ask everyone to try the game and send us their feedback on the visual art   We then could at least show BFG that there are a lot of people who in fact do like the game! We think that there are a lot of games released on BFG with less appealing graphics and players still enjoy them. Unfortunately we cant do much to convince BFG to give our game a chance at least as "soft release" to show them that people will like it. We are very sad about this as it took us over a year to make this game for you and now it seems it wont be even released! The worst of all is that we truly think that the game has nice graphics and is fully comperable to other games released on BFG so we even dont know what to change. Thanks a lot for your opinion and we are looking for yor feedback.

We have also get final notice from BFG that they won't release our game even as a soft release. We ask them to send the game at least to survey to hear the voice of the customers but it wont happen. The visual art for them is so ugly that they want no one to see it I guess.
I have just made the trailer for the game so whoever want to see the game in action you can take a look here:


Many thanks for all your support guys, but this was a final blow for our decision of what games should we make in future. I guess no more TM games from our side. It is a hard to write this as we love making TM games but it seems like big distributors are not in favor of them. Guess we should rather make some spooky HOG full of dead bodies and crying babies....

As for the BFG...after we remade the game to 2D they liked it a lot more and agreed to release our game! We are very happy about that! We are looking forward to see it released on BFG soon! If you will like our game don't forget to rate it with 5 stars

As we are a small studio we are trying to keep in touch with our audience as much as possible and this site is perfect for it! I am very grateful for it and and all people here. We would love to somehow let everyone of you participate on the creation of our next game. We would like to push the "Roads games" a little bit further. However as every developer we are very cautious to make innovations as they usually don't pay for themselves (for example 3D graphics :D). I guess we will send a more informations and "beta builds" here on forums so everyone can tell us their opinion. We would also love to hear whatever you dreamed to have in the TM games! As I said before we could create whatever game we want but we have to know that our audience actually like it, that is the hardest part But I feel that this site could help us solve this dilemma a lot better!
