Mana Games

Why not put the project on Kickstarter and hire some people?

Yeah this is a great idea!! More funds could help to get a better game! (Please Manutoo don't forget mixed doubles )

[deniznadalfan]

will the new features bring also that you slide with players??

[manutoo]

deniznadalfan,
read the first 2 sentences of this topic...

Is there any release date set yet ? Or its before the end of 2016 ? Just asking.

[Hele.]

I wasn't here in a while and haven't played TE for a looooooooooong time and it is really amazing to see this. Also, I'm excited not only about TE4 but about TM2!
manutoo, I wonder if there will be more hairstyles, especially long ones and will hairs and clothes have possibility to move? I basically see this as only "big" improvement that this game misses because everything else is almost perfection.
I think on such hair and clothes "movement", that Top Spin 2 had. It had Virtua Tennis too, but it is better in Top Spin IMO.


Second question, are there any news on TM2?

[manutoo]

iopzzza,
answer is in 1st post, on 4th line...

Hele.,
clothes might be animated.

Hele.,
clothes might be animated.

And now chances for new hairstyles and animated hair?

Also, manutoo, are there any news on TM2?

Tbh i think its time that the TE game should possibly release on a console, its the most realistic tennis game ever but with the power of a console it could become such an awesome experience with the graphics and presentation

[manutoo]

mr2299muslim,
TE4 will very likely be ported to consoles ; for PS4, it's almost sure (except if Sony changes its policy about Indie games), and for Xbox One, it's a maybe, as today M$ still doesn't have a nice policy about small Indie games (ie: no visibility). But it'll happen at least 1 year after initial release on Windows, or even later, to avoid to have too much versions to maintain when doing updates at 1st.

Just a thought - You may be able to make a lot more business if you get your new release out soon before another big tennis game hits consoles. There hasn't been one in a couple years, if you get a good release out soon your game could be the one tennis fans buy, but if it doesn't get releaased until after, then a lot of potential customers might be missed out on.

RMR,
yup, that would be nice, but TE4 will be released when it's done, not before, and there's no good "speeding-up" in game development...

Are there even any other tennis games announced? The team that made TS4 was closed last year. If Manutoo gets anything done by mid 2016 there won't be any big tennis game released, unless it's announced really late.

Virtua Tennis doesn't seem to be around either.

[MurraySoce]

TE2014 finished?

[ZuutCoke]

Lol, MurraySoce, read the first post, manutoo said "not until the end of 2016"

[neva]

This game on PS4 will absolutely illuminate my world.
