Dear backers,

it's been a while but right in time for x-mas season we are back with some news:

Friday 5th of December we will release an update for Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams that will give you a complete new Giana experience. Three levels in local multiplayer mode, Giana Sisters Dream Rush!

Challenge your friends or the brutal AI bots to find out who is the most fast and furious. Sounds like ‘Speedrunners’ by Double Dutch Games? Yes, that’s the inspiration and so don’t wonder if you discover Cosmonaut from Speedrunners having his Cameo-appearance. But take a look yourself:

DREAM RUSH TRAILER exclusive preview

Another news that’s going on for a while: GS:TD will be released on PS4 US/Europe on December 9th/10th followed by XboxOne on December 12th. This will be Director’s Cut HD version including Rise Of The Owlverlord, Helloween- and Xmas-levels, HD graphics, 60 FPS framerate, optimized boss-fights and the possibility to play every world without having finished the ones before.

Okay, we know you ;) You want MORE. Here it is:

You as a backer who made Giana happen can play the new Dream Rush mode already NOW. Just follow the instructions below.

New Dream Rush mode is available on our ‘beta’ branch on Steam.

Simply right click on Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams in your Steam library => Properties => BETAS (tab) => CHECK CODE (code: BlackForestGamesFTW) it will sync. 500Mb and that’s it. Launch the game => pick the Dream Rush mode in the menu => select Level 1 or Level 3 (but pls. ignore Level 2 for now, it’s work in progress ;-) => You can play it as a local couch co-op or race against bots.

Note, if you get used to Giana’s default controls, you might want to check out Dream Rush controls attached. You will notice that things are slightly different. If you play with the keyboard, make sure you will check the buttons by clicking “SETTINGS” button in the initial Launcher.

So much for now. We hope you will enjoy the Dream Rush mode.

All the best from

Black Forest Games

Dear backers,

some of you already know a bit of the story how Black Forest Games was founded by former Spellbound people and why we did a Kickstarter for Project Giana. But the whole story never been told so far. David Paris, you all know his voice from the Giana Kickstarter video, wrote a blog, telling about how Spellbound crashed, BFG was founded and Project Giana Kickstarter saved the whole company.

This might give you an idea why we are so deeply grateful that you backed Giana and made it happen. So each one of you is in our hearts as one of the persons who made it possible that BFG lives on.

Hi backers,

Kickstarter was founded to bring together independent creative people and idealistic supporters. With that purpose notifying your backers about other interesting projects that can need help became culture on Kickstarter and often is named 'Kicking it forward'.

Here is one of these projects:

We understand that some backers only want to read news about Giana. For those we make sure that in the subject of the update you see what it is about already.

Cheers
