By ToeJam on Facebook

The developer of the classic SEGA Mega Drive, ToeJam and Earl, has launched a free application for Facebook called Deko Deko-Mail. The software, developed by Greg Johnson Humanature Studios, simply allows you to add animations to messages on Facebook. However, originally the project was born as a title for Nintendo DS to be developed for publisher Sega.

The project was later scaled down until SEGA never left him. But not before publishing a trailer still available online. "I'm surprised that they never published the game," says Johnson. "They were probably too busy and eventually lost sight of." Thanks to Facebook's original design team, however poitrebbe back to life: "I want to finish what I started on the DS, and offering an editor with which people are able to create worlds and fill them with customize characters with whom to interact in different ways ".

The idea, says Johnson, is born from a Japanese phenomenon called Deko Mairu. For the future, Johnson says he wants to create more games, with a glance at the past: "If we can make enough money we could get to work on a new ToeJam and Earl in particular we are interested segments of the mobile and online games.

Multiplayer, of course. " "I have many other concepts in mind but it takes money. The boundary between hopes and projects is weak. What I know for sure is that I'm tired of playing games whose guidelines have been set by publisher, then you take all the profits. I prefer independence, even if it means staying small.

Small and free, this is the right way. Maybe I'll be lucky. "
