TY the Tasmanian Tiger 4: Bush Rescue Returns Open Beta

G'day, TY the Tasmanian Tiger fans!

Krome Studios is pleased to announce that there is a new OPEN BETA for TY4 which adds in Bush Rescue Returns content to Steam!

This new version adds:

• Full English voice-overs, featuring an all-star cast, some of whom you'll recognize as TY's old mates!
  
• Remastered and extended animated cinematics (replacing the original 'comic book' cutscenes).
  
• An improved audio experience, including some music updates and additions.
  
• More costume cosmetics added as paid DLC for $9.99... yeah-nah, just kidding - you just use in-game opals to buy them as usual.
  
• The ability to reset your save game to play again (in the Settings Menu)
  

Now, this is an open beta, so there are a few things to note:

• Only 16:9 aspect ratios (eg 1280x720 or 1920x1080) look correct at the moment
  
• We haven't implemented the custom cursor icons for the mouse pointer yet
  
• There may be bugs, and there may be issues with performance - which is the point of the beta release. If you experience any issues, we'd appreciate you letting us know!
  

This update should keep all of your achievements, and it also should copy your progress over to the new save game format. You won't be at the same spot as your original TY4 save (you'll be on the main menu), but your major progress, unlocked costumes and rangs, and opals should carry over.

We've also implemented a "Restore" option to the Settings Menu.
Restore will your original TY4 save game again. We've done this so that if we need to push new updates people can resume from their original save again, and also so that we don't touch the original save game at all.
This way, if you want to opt back out of the beta, you can and your save game is still there to use on the original version of the game!

So please - give the Open Beta a go, and let us know. There are details below on how to opt-in and where to post any issues.

We hope you enjoy the updates, cause we love our little orange rat, and you TY fans, too!
