Hi Nitromians,
We have been busy going through all of the great levels that you have sent in using the dev mode in Steamlands. Although there has been lots of levels that will make it into the game already, we feel that in order to get the balance right for an update, some feedback was required.
Our ideal plan for this update is to branch off in the map fairly early on with a new player route that starts off easy and gets harder just like in the original levels of the game.
We would like to see more levels which feature only content from earlier levels as well as the new weapons. Otherwise we will have to hold back the player levels from people that have only just started playing the game.
Some users have made levels with the emphasis of making visually compelling tanks with less focus on an idea that will make the levels fun to play. We applaud these tanks for being so spectacular, and may well make a gallery of them, but for a level to make it into the game we really want to see the emphasis on what makes the game fun and interesting to play.
To summarize, more easy levels that don't use elements from later in the game are really likely to make it earlier in the game and thus more visible. So if you want to get your levels seen then please send in levels like that :)
A big thank you to all the Nitromians that have sent in levels so far and we will keep you posted on the progress of the update!
Hi Nitromians!
We recently received an email from a Nitromian who goes by the name of 'The Ringtailed Sly One' informing us about his amazing project - a Steamlands papercraft set!
The artwork is simply stunning in this papercraft artwork, we really can't believe the detail involved in the blocks! Also it looks like you can fit the characters into the steam engine room, which is a really nice touch!
'The Ringtailed Sly One' has taken dev mode to a whole new level and even created some items not in the game! :D

Thanks for sending this in, it really is great work!
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.
Hi Nitromians!

Hi Nitromians!
We received an interesting letter yesterday issuing a cease and desist order on our Steamlands Game!!! Don't panic!
The issue in question was with regards to our choice of Dev Mode icon. For those of you that don't know, we felt it would be humorous to make the freshener icon look like an iconic car freshener which took the shape of a tree. We didn't realise however that this image is in fact trademarked and caused the previously mentioned letter to arrive on our doorstep.
While we are thrilled to see that the game has spread so well that they took notice, due to this, we have changed the icon to something more neutral. If you want to check out the icon, you can check it out here and for anyone that has taken the game, you can replace it with the new one from our recently added distribution page here.

Hi Nitromians!
We are currently rolling out changes for the new website design from this point on, so if you notice any changes, inconsistencies or errors in the pages or games loading, please be patient as this will be a short transitional period. We will try to keep the majority of pages running while switching the site on a 'per page' basis.
This time next week the site should be fully operational and at full capacity, so if you notice any errors in a week’s time, please let us know. For the meantime, let us work on any bugs that occur as they will most likely be something that we are aware of.
One thing we would like to note is that we have made a change (last minute) to the games page which is less perfect than we would like, but we are working on amending this soon after. We will go into more detail as to the change later.
Hopefully this won't affect your gaming experience too much.
Thanks for your patience!

Hi Nitromians,
We have received a great piece of fanart from a Nitromian who goes by the name of Biodrawxel. He has given us some Flipside artwork, with 3D perspective!
Thanks Biodrawxel, it's awesome!

Righty ho Nitromians!
It’s time for a sneaky peak at our latest and greatest NES game that’s being developed here at Nitrome Towers! Lots to show on this one… we think you’ll like it!
These screen images are from “Mega Mash” in which you must master many skills! We don’t want to give away too much at this stage so we’ll leave it there. However we’re very excited about this one… as it brings something to the Nitrome catalogue that has never happened before… we’d love to hear what you think that might be!
Enjoy the piccys!
