And so the adventure begins... again!

Looks like a certain crocodile interrupted Argonaut's exclusive interview of the mighty Baron Dante. 🤭

It's been a while since I've worked on a full fledged artwork, but I couldn't stay still with the recent news! Croc is among my favourite games ever, and it's incredible to see both Argonaut Games' revival and the return of these beloved characters- I can't wait to see what else they've got in store for us! Welcome back, everyone ♥

have you got any tcomc playlists? 👁️👁️

OH, ABSOLUTELY I DO

i posted them a while back but i can't be bothered to find the post, so if i do i'll delete it to keep from clogging up the tags...

as i've said before, it's been a hot minute since i've really participated in the fandom (i'd like to remedy that), so some of my views on the characters have changed a bit since i made these? so not all of the song choices are perfect imo anymore... but i am constantly tweaking these playlists so it's whatever.

oh also also, a couple of these are major WIPs, lol. ANYWAY.

putting them under a read-more cut so that nobody hates me for the length of the post, lmao

here's Edmond's:

here's Fernand:

here's Villefort:

here's Danglars (one of the ones i'm less happy with lol):

here's Caderousse (my favourite character heheh):

here's Mercédès:

here's Albert (idk this one's a WIP):

here's Benedetto (another of my favourites!!):

and finally, Valentine! (my beautiful darling sweetheart):

i also have playlists for a couple ships i like, so if you're interested in those, feel free to ask, but they're not quite as good lol

[ghost-and-a-half]

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster announced for consoles, PC alongside Argonaut Games revival - Gematsu

Argonaut Games, a British game developer founded in 1982 by Jez San and closed down in October 2004, has announced its revival alongside a remastered version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos due out for “all the current consoles” and PC in 2024.

Known for titles like Starglider, Starglider 2, Star Fox, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, and Croc 2, Argonaut Games released its last game in 2004, and is now making a comeback as a boutique publisher with a planned slate of classic Argonauts Games intellectual property and “exciting new titles” for both current and retro game platforms.

Its first title is the remastered version of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, which first launched for the original PlayStation in September 1997. Here is an overview of the remastered release, via Argonaut Games:

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, Argonaut’s 1997 multi-million-selling hit, features Croc, a lovable crocodile who embarks on a quest to rescue the Gobbos from the clutches of the evil Baron Dante. The game’s charm and creativity made it an instant classic, and the remaster promises to bring the beloved game to a new generation of gamers with enhanced high-definition graphics, updated modern control mechanics, and a nostalgic, fun, and authentic gameplay experience that will be sure to ignite the imagination of players and remind them why they fell in love with video games in the first place. Additionally, retro-gaming fans will be excited to learn that the remaster includes the Crocipedia, an extensive and meticulously curated digital museum containing long-lost development assets such as game design documents, concept art, animation tests, team member interviews, and much more. “I worked closely with Jez on the design and production of Starglider, Argonaut’s first big hit back in 1986, so to take up the mantle of relaunching Argonaut Games nearly four decades later brings me full circle, and we have further exciting announcements in the pipeline in the coming months,” said Argonaut Games co-CEO Gary Sheinwald in a press release. Argonaut Games co-CEO Mike Arkin added, “We wanted to honor the original game’s legacy while introducing it to a new audience. The HD remaster allows us to do just that. It’s been a labor of love for our team, and we can’t wait to share it with players on all the current consoles and PC later this year.” Original Argonaut Games founder Jez San said, “I’m thrilled to see the Argonaut name back after 20 years away. Argonaut was always about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming, and I’m excited to see how the relaunched Argonaut Games builds on that legacy, starting with the Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster.”
