This has been making me smile like a madman 
Very much looking forward to having it in my hands and much respect for Shahid at Sony for making this happen 
Very much looking forward to having it in my hands and much respect for Shahid at Sony for making this happen Surprisingly, nope. Bought a house a year ago and put a ton of work into it, so I'm very lacking in money (not to mention I need to hunt for a new job soon and have to save every cent in case I don't score an ideal one...). There's definitely a number of appealing games on Vita, namely Lumines, Wipeout 2048, P4G and of course Ys Celceta.

This was mentioned earlier in a post by CaptainTiptop in another thread, but Jeff Minter posted up some early TxK footage on YouTube today.

Lets keep him there because I love everything he does.
I think he's joined the modern-age now... he has PSN access (and I'm one of his friends! Yay!).
Does love his pinball, too. He's a semi-regular on the Pinball Arcade Fans forum.
Jeff Minter posted a video today of some early gameplay.

If this game has a great soundtrack like T2K does this is a day one buy for me.
You can follow him here: https://twitter.com/llamasoft_ox
He's always tweeting stuff about the game and other things. I hope this will get ported over to the PS4 someday.

Yes, it's impressive how quickly development is progressing.
I also noticed that the jumping sound effect is from the classic Pitfall! I wonder if it's just a placeholder, or if it'll make it into the final game.

It's a remake of a 32 year old arcade game. It's not like he's making something horribly complex.

Wow. Didn't know Llamasoft still exists. I loved Llamatron! That was decades ago!
A few points:
* I hope this has the original music in it somehow
* The crawling animation on the avatar is both creepy and awesome
* I hope the rear touchscreen is used in some way. And not just as an extra button. I could picture maybe launching bombs or missiles or something from the back of the "tunnel".
Edit: HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Any updates? I just cannot wait for this game <3
tl;dr: Why does it look just like it did almost 20 years ago?
I'm a huge Tempest fan, so this will be a day 1 for me. I played the crap out of it on my Jaguar (one of like 3 good games on that system)...and then again on my PSX, and then on my psp years later through emulator.
That being said.
I much preferred the explosions/sound effects in Tempest X over Tempest 2000 version. I know Tempest X was not a direct product of Minters, but well..ya. I guess he tries to stay retro, but I want to see more stuff different.
Right now, that looks exactly like the same game he made for the Jaguar. Again, I'm not hating, but someone please show me where this is going to better or different than the original? Or is it just meant to be Tempest 2000: Lost Levels?

Makes sense to tap it to jump, pushing your avatar out of the screen.
From his blog post I assume that's just what he's going for. This'll be a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario for him anyway - somebody will be unhappy either way.
Holy shit, that's goddamn perfect. I think I'd actually prefer that to mine, because you don't need to be accurate with said tapping.
Duration to extend life of jump? Shame there's no gyro otherwise they could probably measure the force of said tap and make you jump wicked high.
This looks so good. I really hope he does (relatively) well off of this.
Aye, after all he killed the 360 and iOS.

Would have been so much better on 3DS. Pity.
schhhh. no rationality please
remember Jaguar, Nuon and the other consoles he killed
would like it on the PS4/3 though
I do not think Nintendo supports psycedelics
It's a perfect fit for the Vita, I'm sure it'll do great. Amazing visuals, and an audience that has quite an appetite for this type of game.
Haaaahahahahaha!
Whew, boy. Thanks for the giggle.
I certainly hope so, they guy's awesome.
Jeff just posted an update..

Looks awesome. Are you Nyarla of Nyarla labs creator of my favorite iOS game of all time?
If so, thank you for making Forget-me-Not and I'm not surprised you're a Minter fan.
If its not you then just ignore me.

Thanks! I haven't released anything new since FMN
Got a few different game projects on the go but a severe lack of spare time these days... But yeah when I have news about SUPER Forget-Me-Not (or whatever i end up calling it) I'll totally be posting it somewhere on here
