About

Two Tail Tales is a video game in development by Unsung Productions. Featuring two controllable characters that can become a single one with a "Mount" mechanic. But requiring to separate the characters from time to time so they can use their different abilities and skills to solve puzzles together. The game had an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign back in July of 2020. Despite that the devs claim that the game's development will continue.

Origin

The idea of the game originated back in 2017 at the site Know Your meme when the artist and user Whyme made a picture featuring the characters from the I will now buy your game meme as if they were part of an actual game.

Made by me.

To the surprise of everyone including Whyme himself picture was received a very positive reception to the point of wishing for it to be an actual game, which drove Whyme to expand the idea further on a more complex comic strip.

Why did I kept working until 4:30Am for this? What do I even want to achieve? Is it validation? Is it the few minutes of trending that I can manage? Do I even know what I want? 
Is this like Breath of The wild + the last guardian? Is this yet another 'Just like dark souls' but in the size of a mouse?
Is this what my life is all about? Drawing memes at 4:30AM? 
Am I reflecting something hoping to come up with a petty sudden realization just to negate everything I've been thinking up to this point? 

Why am I still here...just to suffer?

After that other users and artist that found a liking on the characters and wholesome atmosphere that Whyme managed to create. Many starting to create fan art of sorts and even expanding the idea with more characters.

Various examples

I may do gifs of the other concepts Whyme did, because i loved them.

forgot the ring, sorry
Just concept stuff, so no guarantee it will actually be used in any way. Even so, XM177 recommended sharing it here anyway.
I like where this meme is goin and decided to give it a try. I know my drawings aren't the best but I'm still learning and open to suggestions.
My idea was to make another character that could be an antagonist. She uses a scalpel blade a weapon. she is wearing some armor to protect her upper body. her "companion" is big dark and edgy because OF COURSE HE IS!.

anyway. I'm keeping who I am a secret just because of shame.

PD: He is not dead, just injured. I intended to add blood in photoshop but probably it's better this way.
PD2: Her arm is injured too.
PD3: I'm talking about the "main" characters
PD4: go F youlself
PD5: JK
I hope this idea makes for more :( this is AWESOME.

Leading to many coming together to try to make the game a reality.

Never has my username been more relevant to the recent events caused by a quick sketch of mine...
I was supposed to draw a few more concept stuff after some irl things I had to do first, but seeing how quickly this exploded and people began to put their part, I feel it's better if we have a place to discuss this.

So the people who want to add/discuss things related to this meme/game/whatever this can be called, can do it here; at least until this either ends being trendy, or we find a better place to do this (Deviantart group, blog, twitter?...I'm really not social media savvy...) or people actually want this to happen and some time has passed so we think this without the meme-feeling this still has.

Now, something important. While here we can set the 'canon' of the nature of the game/story. There's no reason for other people to stop doing their take on this and change/add/remove things to their liking. We'll just have some base so people can add things while having a consistent world. Therefore I ask people not to shut down ideas of others but instead try to find solutions to them, if they can't be added, find something else, but be nice overall, a lot of people seem eager to contribute and shutting them down is not good for this or them.

Do I know what I'm doing? Am I sure I want to do this? Do I still feel overwhelmed by all this and feel like I don't want to click the submit button to get this thing started? Am I EVEN on time to get this train going? 
I don't know the answer to any of this to be honest...

Yet, here I am...and I want to see where this takes us.

Submit.

Developments

Despite the big enthusiasm over the game the group decided to be more quiet and private about the game's development. Going public one year later to announce that the game that the game was in fact still in development and that they were looking for more people to join up. With a new picture showing a more developed art style for the game.

Hello everyone. I am sure that many of you don't remember us or have maybe never even heard of us. In short, we are a game development team that started up a year ago after I Will Now Buy Your Game morphed into actual game concepts. Since our beginnings last year we have been mostly silent about game progress, but now we have come here to show some of what we have accomplished. You may be wondering why we have decided to break the silence, but rest assured that it is no notice of cancellation or anything similar to that. We are posting now to see if any of you who has missed our start-up wants to lend a helping hand in our project. Even a couple more people means a great deal to our team, so if you have any skills in Unity programming 2D, can draw In-Model, Tile art, or music/Folley composition then take a chance and check out the Discord link below. Anyone else who has questions about our project is free to ask here before we hunker down and get back to work.

After that the group went quiet yet again after gaining a few new members.

Kickstarter and Company announcement

In July of 2020 the group revealed themselves as Unsung Productions with the release of a Kickstarter aimed to help the further development of the game. With a promise of a demo build later that month.

The long-awaited meme-based game is making great progress! A kickstarter is up to support the team (myself included), and the game's free-to-download gameplay demo releases in just one or two weeks! Until then, you can preview some of the game's features (and support the team) in the link here.

Kickstarter and Demo reception

Despite getting great enthusiasm from part of those the found the kickstater the lack of attention allow it to only reach 2.800$ of the 20.900$ goal. The demo itself earning little fan fare after releasing half a month later.

With the release of the Demo the team also made a Discord server for people to interact with the devs and discuss and share media about game. (Disclaimer, the current link the the server seems to not be working)

With the kickstarter failure confirmed, Unsung Productions promised to keep working on the game regardless, claiming that they would first make another smaller game first.

I was at the very beginning of the project.
We were too many on the project and the management of everyone was catastrophic.
Like everyone had so many great intentions and great gameplay or story ideas, but at the end, it was similar to Peter Molyneux, where you could easily see that you could not realistically do the project.
"hey, we should do a time system" "hey we should do this" "we should do that"

If I remember, at the beginning, there was some kind of voting system for everything, but some didn't have a clue about how to make a game, which leaded to vote for things that shouldn't have been voted.
more than 90% of the people were just artists or lurkers.
I wanted to help with the programming part of the game, though, I didn't wanted to waste months or years of my life in such a project with no clear direction, and a chaotic mess of a project.
we didn't even knew if we were going to make the game free or not.

I kept telling them we needed to make the project as realistically doable as possible, like making a small platform game.
at the end, I quickly became a lurker of the project myself, then left the discord after a while.

I saw later that they released a playable demo and I've played it.
It was meh, but at least they managed to release something.

I hope they'll release their game someday.
