Wow, very slick-looking! Nice job, you guys; really diggin' this design!
In terms of a gun, have you guys considered the possibility of implementing a gun into Tuttle's cane? Just a thought that jumped out at me, as I was noticing the redesigned cane kinda seems to resemble a rifle now (to me, anyway). Personally, it's not too hard for me to envision a small shot firing out of that thing. lol

I was nearly drooling over how awesome he's turned out while reading this post. His revamp definitely brings out that adventurous digger feel while retaining the classy Tuttle we all know and love. The cane redesign looks great as well! As with you guys I'm sure this will help improve the quality of the gameplay. Also I love the boot armor, it just fits so well! Aweome work!

Looks Good to me!!
Keep up the hard work!

He looks ready for adventure! Can't wait to see more.

he looks so cool!!!

Thanks everyone! Glad to see the new design is pleasing and that you guys are all still around to support the project after such a lull in activity!

And you're right Skybane, it would be pretty easy to work shots into the new cane design, which is part of the reason why we wanted to say again that it isn't our intention to give him a gun. The idea just doesn't fit with our vision of Tuttle and would completely change the gameplay.

Looks great. I'm not going to lie I actually thought you guys gave up BUT man I am sooo glad you didn't. The cane really has originality that's on par with the official games and the model has a sense of "thrill seeking, elegance" and surpassed my expectations of the character. Overall I'm glad to see him finished. He looks great. I want a demo bad now. I know, all in due time...but wow. Simple. yet atmospheric.

I can hopefully speak for the whole Tuttle team when I say we haven't given up. Everyone's just got loads on their plates right now, including myself. But no matter what I'm doing or where I am, Tuttle is always somewhere in the back of my brain (Slowly but surely!). It's a project I'd love to see come to fruition, and I'm sure it's the same for the rest of the team, especially Blyka and fAB.

Also, while I'm here: The model looks brilliant. I can't wait to see him in action!

We need to do a Kickstart for this game..

I am digging tuttle's new look, not only he looks cool but also remains true to his character.
Keep it up and don't give up!

Thanks guys! Glad you're all digging the new design. I'm definitely more pumped to get him up and running in an engine than the old one; the old trench coat just didn't lend itself to heroics.

And absolutely, we haven't given up and don't intend to, even though progress lately hasn't been at all promising. Oni Foetus said it pretty well; even as I've dropped the ball pretty hard the past couple years, not a day goes by where TLT isn't somewhere in my mind.

Incidentally, I can't even imagine what track your FL capture goes with, Oni Foetus, but I can't wait to hear it. The awesomeness of TLT's soundtrack is so surpassing the original games.

Awesome as that would be, I don't think Capcom would agree. ;)

The subgate looks pretty good in its early designing process!

Oh! Very nice model. Nice boots! Nice cane! The coat!
I see that FL window and can tell it's gonna be good.
It would be nice if there was a way to kick start it without setting off any alarms.
If I can be of assistance, please let me know. Looking good guys. Here's to a new year of AWESOME!

Good model guys! I'm from Brazil, and here there are many fans of MML. I'm waiting you launch a new version of this game. This project is really exciting! Good luck!

@Tspherix @Ksc
Thank you both very much. Definitely hoping to pick up the pace this year!

I definitely picture Tuttle buying a better digger outfit after the events in Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
