Hi Nitromians!
The core control mechanic has been updated in the Cheese Dreams Demo due to some of the helpful comments we received from our fans via the Facebook page.
We have changed the way the player reacts to bouncing on slopes. This change means it should be much easier to control yourself on pivoting platforms. We have updated the demo, so why not try out the improved control mechanic and let us know your thoughts?
Thanks for helping us during the games development! If you would like to give us further feedback, feel free to join in using Facebook, Twitter or Email!

Well Nitromians, time for a Fri... err, Thursday update!
As many of you know, tomorrow is Good Friday! We will not be in the office tomorrow, so we thought we'd give you all a bit of an end of the week update and heads up today! We will be back to work at Nitrome Towers on Tuesday.
We'd like to thank you all for giving us some really helpful feedback on our Cheese Dreams Demo too. There were some good comments for us to look into.
Why not join us next week as we bring you more Nitrome goodness?
Until then, have a great weekend!

A Nitromian by the name of G'reth sent us some great papercraft fan art featuring a character from our game Square Meal and we thought you might appreciate it too, so here it is!
We think that this is a impressive piece of work, It looks awesome!
Why not try building one for yourself? You can download the pdf file below and print it out!

Thanks for this G'reth, we think it's great!
If you have any fan art you have made about Nitrome please do send it in! We love everything we get sent especially if it is our work applied to something we have never seen before. We will feature the best, most striking and most unusual pieces in our blog.
And the demo is for... ...drum roll.....
...A new Cheese Dreams Title!
Looking back, we are pleased with what we did with Cheese Dreams and our initial idea was to make a follow up to the game. The first game was difficult….in retrospect probably too difficult and we felt that a lot of people would not have made it to the end of the game.
Without giving too much away it would mean setting the second game in a different location and most people would not understand the reason for it. We love the world we created with the first game so in order to fully explore what happens next we wanted to first give a new version of the original that people would have a better chance of making it through... then go on to show what happens next.
Although the game is a remake it has got all new levels which incorporate both the elements from the original and much, much more!
The game also has an all-new, full physics engine. It is this change in particular that we want to show off to you in the demo to see if you like the feel or what suggestions you may have that could affect the final release.
Have Fun and let us know what you think over at Facebook or Twitter!

Hi there webmasters!
We have just updated our Dirk Valentine distributable game!
We had originally distributed this game a while back, but we have revisited recently it to fix some issues.
If you've previously downloaded the game package for your site, feel free to re-download the content here, add it to your site and take advantage of the updates.
Also... did you know that Dirk Valentine is four years and one day old now? Yep, It was released on 27th March 2008!
We thought this was quite a coincidence that four years and one day since its release we are talking about the game and updating the distribution!

Hi Nitromians!
For this week’s memory lane, we have chosen… Twin Shot!
The feature image to this article shows some characters that were designed during the development stages of Twin Shot.
We thought it would be cool to show some development art that led to the final characters in the game!

We have got a slightly different Friday Update for you this week!
We’re thrilled to announce the start of a new feature coming soon to Nitrome.com
We are going to start offering demos for selected upcoming games. The benefits of doing this is to gain useful feedback before progressing too far with the game and to show you guys what we are currently up to.
Please note that we are not going to do demos for every game. We feel that for some games it would spoil the enjoyment of exploring a new mechanic for the first time. But, for the right games, it lets you try what we’re up to and help shape it into a better game before the final game launches.
So what’s a demo going to be? Is it a tech demo? Is it a small portion of the final game? Yes, no, well maybe… The state that the demo takes will vary on a game by game basis. For the first demo, it is more of a small playground where you will get to see some of the mechanics that we are developing. It contains a lot of final art, but some art is not there yet so the final product will look a lot better still despite it being presentable at this stage. Even though it’s not a final game, and not a level from the final game, the demo has a basic challenge in place so there is a point to play it other than finding out what we are up to.
So what is the demo and when is it going to be out? …erm, the demo will be out pretty soon, but we don’t want to give a date that we might not stick to. What we can say is that the first demo is based on one of our existing franchises, but not one that we have currently announced (so not the upcoming Cave Chaos or Hot Air follow ups).
We hope you enjoy the rest of your Friday and have a great Weekend!
Hi Nitromians,
Last week, we let you know that we were creating a follow-up to one of Nitrome’s earliest creations.
We also showed you a pretty cool sprite of an enemy (click here) character from the new game currently in development.
We can now let you all know that it will be another game in the Hot Air Franchise!
Well done to everyone who guessed correctly, you can expect to see this title coming soon to Nitrome!
