As every good game, also Giana’s Return will have a bunch of hidden features. Every port will have modified access to each hidden feature,to keep the fun up.

Is there demand to have new up to date videos, or should we concentrate getting things done?

It’s very simple – Spellbound and Bitfield are working on an official sequel. Giana’s Return is a fan project with the intention to make fans happy, but Spellbound and Bitfield of course want to make money (and they deserve it) with their official Giana DS game.

Once there is a official DS game and you already have graphics and music, the next logical step is not too far away. Fact is, there is a chance they are going to consider releasing on other platforms. It’s just a guess from us and not something official, so don’t get it wrong.

We are fans of “The Great Giana Sisters” so if we want to see another commercial Giana game, we have to respect the legitime rights of the copyright holders. They should sell their game on whatever active platform they like.

Giana’s Return will stick with old systems, which wont be served with the new commercial part, or with economical uninteresting consoles and handhelds such as the GP32, GP2x, Pandora and Wiz.

We hope everyone will understand this!

Once the PSP becomes obsolete, we can release Giana’s Return without problems. Just a question of time… :)

While the project is comming closer and closer to a final shape, we are working on the “Ubuntu Linux” version too.

This makes now the following systems having Giana’s Return running and working: Ubuntu Linux, Windows XP (32-Bit), PSP (Will NOT be released) and GP2x.

Update: To make things more clear, this is what we currently do have and which does run on hardware. If a system is not mentioned here it does not mean that we wont serve it :)

We had issues with our MikMOD player. It somehow leaves out channels or instruments. Unfortunatly we do not have too many alternatives due to system or licence limits.

The windows development version is now using BASS.

Sample mockups, still with tiny tiling issues – NOT FINAL!

DayDream from http://spriteattack.cator.de/ agreed upon helping with the last tileset, so we can finally manage to let Giana return! More news in the next few days!

While we are waiting for the last tileset graphics for world 7, we try to improve the GP2x version of Giana’s Return.

So far it’s running, but a bit slow… as soon as we solve the problems with the speed issue, we are going to make a new video!

Thanks to f….. and h…. btw :D

We don’t have a problem if you use our screenshots, but “grabbing” our Youtube videos and reuploading them in a worsen quality is not nice.

We also prefer, that people comment in the official videos, uploaded by FPAMulle.

Thank you!

Happily we can announce, that Giana can now speak german! Soon she’ll learn the french language!

Talented girl she is! :) Isn’t she?
