We've noticed that lots of you have been very busy making videos on YouTube... It's always really great to see how much effort people have gone to to make a Nitrome video! Here are a couple of our favourites:
Nitrome Tribute by jaxorama
Toxic Moonwalk by NintendoWiiLuva
We also thought that this one was worth a mention... alfiedabomb tells us how to pronounce Nitrome. Just so you know, he's got it right... it's the first one! (n - eye - trome)
Loads more videos can be found at YouTube if you search for Nitrome. Thanks to everyone who has uploaded videos!
We have a second screenshot to show you of the upcoming Toxic 2 game for MTV Arcade. It's coming along well... there's going to be a lot of surprises! Lots of new robots for our yellow-suited hero to discover!
More updates on their way soon!
For you who didn't guess... We can now properly announce that we're working on a sequel to Toxic. Toxic has been one of the most popular games we've done with MTV Arcade and we're thrilled to be making a sequel with them! Although we're still very proud of the original, we think our skills have improved since making it, so the first thing we have done with the game is a complete overhaul of the game engine - making it slicker and more robust.
We're not going to give too much away in this update... but here's an early screenshot to whet your appetite!
Magic Touch on the DS? Birslip has made a DS homebrew version of our game which he describes (in French) here. We were quite impressed with the finished results! He did of course ask for our permission before using the game idea and artwork ;)
We have also noticed that there are a lot of budding young game developers out there using a website called Scratch to create games. This is great if you want to learn how to make very simple games without having to go too in depth with the programming. We found a few Nitrome-inspired games made using Scratch that we had to show you:
Hot Air
Cheese Dreams
Skywire
Two of our games have been nominated for a Flash Forward Film Festival award!
The games Hot Air 2 and Twang have been nominated in the Games category! If you want to vote for us on the people's choice awards for your favourite game then you can do so here
We found this weird article about Skywire over at JayIsGames... I don't know what's going on but we want whatever they're having! The author of the article, SonicLover, has also written an interesting essay about our game SmallFry here. We're quite impressed... we think maybe he knows more about the game than we do!
Remember the picture of Toxic by Neal Anderson that we showed you a while ago? Well Neal has produced another piece of Nitrome-Art, this time of Small Fry. Neal tells us to keep checking his gallery page, as he's planning to upload more Nitrome inspired images in the near future!
Our latest game created for Miniclip.com is called Small Fry. Click and drag the little characters, position them where you want them to walk. Help them get to the end of each level by using their abilities together!
