This is the first pass at the Pteropus and It’s a little more basic than the others but I really liked the feel of it being a big powerful motorbike with wings. When you first saw her inthe game she would appear as Fluffy but as the game progressed you’d quickly learn that it was Just Boss Cass – who was now just a little bit more unhinged – seeing her as Fluffy.Ī flying fox flown by Ginger Knut, who is also a flying fox. She was going to be Fluffy’s replacement for this game. It’s pilot is another Thorny Devil called Lizzy. The wing “feathers” would change shape based on its speed and the tail would look nice reacting to the physics of Gunyip flight. I used the head of Cuddles (Fluffy’s mech from TY 3). This one was designed to look like a bird of prey. And yes it was meant as a homage to Macross’ Gerwalk mode.
It had a variable geometry that would allow it to take different forms depending on it’s flight mode.
This was so players could have something ‘human’ to relate to and so that they could respond to the surrounding events much the same way TY sat in the back of the Fourbie and Crabmersible.ĭesign wise the BR Gunyip has elements of both the plane version from TY 3 and both the unused designs for the Jet Bunyip. They were also designed to show your pilot character flying them. Each faction would have it’s own unique design that the player would control when playing their missions. The gunyips are the top level of air combat machines. TY the Tasmanian Tiger: Gunyip! – The Gunyips There was TY and Bushrescue, Cass and his Cold Blood Empire and finally a new group the Metalskull pirates led by Ginger Knut the flying fox.” You only need to look at the reaction to the Win 8 game with it being 2D – even though everything else is pretty much exactly the same.Īnyway apart from flying around in cool transforming Gunyips the game featured a story mode that let you play through as three different factions each with their own sets of Missions. While the game was looking pretty hot I know now that TY fans would have lost their shit because it was different. It was put to rest when we had the chance to make a Star Wars game and it’s probably for the best. “The original TY 4 was not going to be a 3D platformer – it was a story driven air combat game in the TY universe. It was ambitious to say the least.Īlso I do enjoy the irony that the game was dropped mid production so that we could work on an ACTUAL Star Wars game.”

Also you got to play through the “story” mode 3 times as different factions unlocked and you got more of the full story. The best bit was that it was all told as a story being recounted by Lenny. Where you flew around doing missions on Gunyips. If you thought the 2D game was a departure you would have hated this version even more – it was a flight combat game. The Frills were Scout Frills (the best of the bucket heads!), there were all these Star Wars style flight suits and there was even a Wookiee like character called Po (he’s a Kakapo) “Flashback to the unmade TY 4: Gunyip which was Star Wars AF. There’s a whole book just of stuff from that.” “There was the whole first version of TY 4: Gunyip which got shelved to make way for Star Wars. It starts with stuff from TY 3 minigames, then has some early test capture footage then ends with some rendered stuff from the TY 3 trailer.”
“Here’s the promo trailer we put together to pitch Gunyip to publishers. Most of what we know about this unreleased project was revealed by Krome Studios’ artist and TY co-creator Steve Stamatiadis on his Tumblr account: While the team was pitching the idea to publishers they were hired to work on Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and GUNYIP! had to be canned. The game was in development by Krome Studios around 2005 – 2007, started after the release of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan.

It was initially conceived for GameCube, Xbox and Playstation 2 as the official 4th chapter in the TY series but gameplay would have been similar to titles such as Crimson Sky, Ace Combat and Star Fox’s all-range mode.
