22 Apr / by: M&R / 28 comments /

First of all, we have a few new winners for Contesque #3, at long last. The first win goes out to Duncan, who sent us a whole bunch of drawings of N+ costumes. We chose the one we thought was the most fun 🙂 Duncan’s Ninja Mask And next, we have to share what may […]

It’s that time of the year again — we’re off to San Francisco for the 2009 Game Developers’ Conference. Woohoo! We really can’t wait to meet up with all the other developers, it’s basically the only time we ever get to see anyone in person other than the Toronto devs 🙂 Wish us luck at […]

We’re happy to say you can now vote in the 2nd Annual XBLA Awards. Here’s how: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/xblaawards/ Voting is open from now until March 10. One week only! We just downloaded the voting application and noted that it weighs in at 37 MB, so it’s twice as large as N+, even considering all three level […]

Happy N-iversary!

20 Feb / by: M&R / 30 comments /

Yes, it’s the 1 year anniversary of the release of N+ for XBLA. It’s been a great year — reception has been very positive, sales exceeded our expectations, we’ve been nominated for awards (and even received one two- check out Brilliam’s review here!) and we’re just so thrilled that so many people gave it a […]

WTF N4G?!

20 Jan / by: M&R / 19 comments /

We don’t want to sound paranoid, but it seems like people are trying to start controversy where none exists! We recently did a short interview with Ryan Rigney (who also wrote this article on N+). In it, we mentioned that there was a limit to the amount of saved data that could be stored by […]

N Other News…

19 Jan / by: M&R / 7 comments / tags :

A few years ago, at Slamdance, we were introduced to a game we liked very much, called Rumble Box. A beat-em-up game with characters made of cubes and spheres, cel-shaded graphics and a cool mechanic whereby the parts of your bested opponents assist you in your climb to the top — what’s not to like?

Robotology: Edit Mode II

18 Dec / by: M&R / 20 comments /

One month later, and we’re still working on the editor backend — it’s actually going really well, aside from the fact that it’s taking much longer than we anticipated! As you may have noticed, this is a recurring theme with Robotology: our scheduling estimates are based on the known hardest task, however the actual effort […]

N+ Sighting in Tokyo

27 Oct / by: M&R / 5 comments / tags :

We recently ran into several copies of N+ (both DS and PSP) in Tokyo (at import stores in Akihabara), and noted that some of them had sold when we revisited the stores later on. We had assumed N+ DS/PSP would, like N+ XBLA, be sold worldwide — with any luck that will happen someday. For […]
