Pixelpickle Games introduces, Lylian

I have the first screenshots up of our little side-scroller called Lylian.
We are using TGB for our project

I hope you like what you see so far...

Looks really cool, very nice style there. Also, just a heads up, your website link is broken (got a /com where it should be .com).

thank you Rene and Ross :)

And thank you Ross for pointing out the broken web link (I blame my stubby fingers and neglect in spell checking)

@Robert, any time :) Any chance we could get some more details on the gameplay some? I'm quite curious about how the character functions based on the screenshots.

Sure Ross,
Lylian (you), wake up to find the restraints on her straitjacket unstrapped...
Lylian uses the sleeves of her jacket to attack hospital staff and other creatures that live in the dark corners and her imagination. Her imagination is a strong feature of the game which I'll talk about at a later date including some other features specific to gameplay.
It's an action game, using a storyline to set the pace.

Primarily a singleplayer game, we're hoping to implement some kind of co-op later down the track - understanding that this is quite difficult to do using TGB alone.

Story reminds me a bit of Psychonauts, which is an excellent thing.

very cool something different. I like that it has a the look of being 3D. It has a very Tim Burton-ish style to it

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, certainly makes me feel like it could be heading in the right direction style-wise.
