GAF thread!!
When one of our games gets a thread on GAF, it's like a little badge of honor. Thank you truly to those showing love for our work -- it really means a lot to our team!
I'm happy to answer any questions if you guys have 'em. We're very proud of this one. Not only do I feel we brought a lot of unique elements to the genre, but it's also packed with content and a pretty nice length to boot (we saw average playtimes at10-12+ hours to complete story mode, and around 14-18+ hours for 100%)
And yes, George Takei is in this! That was quite the incredible experience. He was humble, awesome, hilarious, and as it turns out he really likes quesalupas. (He asked if we liked his Taco Bell commercial, and proudly proclaimed that Quesalupas are "sooo delightfuly cheeesssyy!" (be sure to read that in his voice))
Here's some quick gifs showing off the battle mode:
It's not that hard to read the OP guys.
No... you don't. It's a game about collecting and battling with amiibo-like toys in-game. There are no physical ones.
Holy shit...The immediate hate without doing ANY research is crazy in this thread.

Can I enjoy this game without spending a dime on IAPs? How prominent are they?
Once I know I'll probably try this. To Google!

OP updated to emphasis that it's a premium game.OP should be updated to include the facts people care about. Pay once, play forever. No real life figures. Complete game. Etc
I haven't read much of the dialogue, but what process did your team go through to keep the humor and snappiness of the source in tact?
Thirdly: This is my first time hearing of this! How long has it been worked on and what brought about the idea? Actually, I'm surprised an episode hasn't already been made around the Teen Titans battling with figurines of each other around the city versus friends/foes.
The idea for each game always starts with thinking about not only what would fit well with the show or IP (and it's important to us to always do an original story for our games -- we aren't interested in just recreating an existing episode), but also deciding what type of game/which genre we want to dabble in next... (pretty simple!) Coming off Attack the Light, which we really enjoyed making, we definitely still had RPGs on the brain and we wanted to keep elements of that genre intact in a some way.
IIRC, the Amiibo/Skylanders parody originated from the team having lots of those figures around our studio, and someone staring at them during a brainstorming session... haha. That led to the idea of collecting, which fits perfectly with the obsessive nature of Robin's character in TTG, and then of course we got really excited about bringing in elements that reminded us of collecting and hunting down toys as kids. We envisioned the "toy store simulator" and flinging things from the racks very early on. Also: viewing the 3D figures in the Titans Tower was decided on very early and inspired by the trophy room feature in Smash Bros (something I've always loved about those games)
When it comes to achieving the feel of any show, we try to fully immerse ourselves in whatever property we're currently working on, so LOTS of watching of the shows to get a feel for the writing and overall style. We're all huge cartoon geeks, so that helps as well. And then CN's talented writers will also perform some editing on our writing & story to help match things even closer to the IP.
Depending on the show, we sometimes also get access to the show teams to pick their brains about a show's DNA, or to even get them to critique our stuff. We didn't have a chance to work too much with the TTG show team on this one unfortunately (though they are awesome, talented peeps), though on a game like Attack the Light we had a bit more access to the creators.
Development on Teeny Titans began a little over a year ago, though the majority of dev time was actually parallel with our previous mobile game, Powerpuff Girls Flipped Out. Soooo, it's been a busy year for sure...
Thanks for the questions
The same bunch who created 'Attack The Light'? Sign me up!Grumpyface Studios? Im there
People like Go! more than the original? I'm shocked. Go! is good?
From the looks of it, it has no in-app purchases. It's not a free to play game though. It looks like fun, I might give it a try.
Game doesn't have IAPs
I just got Lady Legasus.
I must use her forever.
I unfortunately JUST got it after seeing this episode several times. I'm appalled at this crass example of humor and certainly do LOOOONG for the days Teen Titans took itself SERIOUSLY!!
SERIOUSLY!
SERIOUS
IIRC that never actually happens in the episode though, right? It was two images placed in the same pic.
Hot dog, this game is fun. Just beat the first tournament. Collecting and leveling is suitably addictive.
My daughter played it for 2 hours straight before I had to pry the ipad out of her hands.
And one has to wonder why, you know? You can make Amiibos work with any cellphone/tablet with an NFC reader via 3rd party application, it's funny no one has made a game for mobile that uses amiibo like figures as a mechanic.
What toys? The description basically says they're not real and just part of the game.
No... you don't. It's a game about collecting and battling with amiibo-like toys in-game. There are no physical ones.
Loving this game so far
