Welcome to Pivot!
Meander Forth: Teak's Tall Tale is a short sidescroller about Oscar Teak, a lovable loser with a big heart and reasonably decent drumming skills. His day gets off on the wrong foot when he's kicked out of a punk band by his so-called friends.The day only gets worse when a masked child reveals that his actual friend, Tamree Willow, has gone missing! It's up to Oscar Teak to get to the bottom of what happened to Tamree.
Teak must proceed with caution, however. Something bizarre is bubbling under the surface of his quiet town...
Meander Forth?
Teak's Tall Tale was created in 2019 as a standalone-ish demo for Meander Forth, a considerably higher-profile game about a friend of Oscar's- a troubled young otter named Garret Rapids.Meander Forth has had a troubled development as of late. Technical problems forced me to rebuild the game from scratch- and that's before my motherboard was fried and I had to get a new PC. Uff Da.
Regardless, I assure you that if you like Teak's Tall Tale, you'll enjoy Meander Forth whenever it DOES get finished.
Plus Plus?
One year after the original Teak's Tall Tale was released, an "enhanced version" with nicer backgrounds, new dialog, and a short demo of the actual Meander Forth was released. to coincide with the Sonic Amateur Games Expo 2020. This version was called "Teak's Tall Tale Plus."Unfortunately, the Plus version had some HUGE technical oversights during development that caused it to barely run on machines running Windows 10, on top of being a technical mess regardless.
The 2021 version, Teak's Tall Tale Plus Plus, was compiled in GameMaker Studio 2, mitigating some of the technical issues. On top of that, certain visual effects have been redone for optimization. Certain art assets have been replaced, as well. I hope this version's release is a lot more smooth than it was last time!
