JS: I hope they will like Pyramids and visit our Facebook page often to get new free levels. Is there anything you'd like to tell our readers in closing? NL: We look forward to hearing more about those. The two other titles, planned later on this year are still in an early stage but we will inform you as soon as we have the material ready. It will use the QR Code images in a different way from Pyramids and will enable players to share their creations over StreetPass and through QR Code images. It’s called Block Factory and is a Do-It-Yourself creation kit for falling block puzzles. JS: The second title will be a falling block puzzle game. As a company that's released several games for DSiWare and WiiWare as well, what area are you happiest that the company has altered, and what do you think that it still needs to focus on in the future? Nintendo has pledged to continue improving its online scheme, currently with the eShop and moving ahead with the Wii U. NL: We're sure our international readers will be happy to hear that. The team is very happy with what they have created, and we have promised them we will release the game worldwide. They really like the main character as well, which has been designed after a lead programmer of another team. The team has been competing for high scores all along the development of the game and the construction of the levels… playing more than working actually. When playing, you will notice that they managed to keep it very close to the original and addictive gameplay. NL: What are some elements of Pyramids that your team is especially proud of?
Pyramids is just one of those games that plays well and will deliver hours of fun to a very wide audience.įor retail we have created three launch titles with specific content, game types and licenses, but on the eShop we wanted some creative input from our development teams. We could have released the game on other platforms, but we have chosen to have it Nintendo 3DS exclusive for a while. Also, the Nintendo eShop pricing policy is a lot more flexible.
JS: We no longer create DSiWare titles, so 3DS and the eShop is the way to go. "The team is very happy with what they have created, and we have promised them we will release the game worldwide." NL: Why choose the 3DS eShop as the initial platform for Pyramids? What's more enjoyable than free content? Micro-payments is a good financial plan, but good value for money is what we aim for. The development team enjoyed making the game, we enjoy publishing it… and we want the players to enjoy the game. NL: Why did you choose to go with free extra content instead of DLC with a price tag? The extra levels could have been distributed by SpotPass but we have chosen the internet and press as the distribution channel of the free content. NL: Will Pyramids take advantage of any the 3DS's other features, like StreetPass or SpotPass? Keeping in mind we are planning the game on other platforms and are planning a follow up. This counts for press, events and fans of course. Here we will allow ideas to float around which we can pick up and realise. JS: We will set up a part of the website dedicated to extra levels, where people will be able to discuss. NL: You mean you'd take fan suggestions for custom bonus levels? We also are willing to create specific levels with specific demands. Press and players will have to come and check the page now and then to get the new goodies, or contact us. We will hand out some of these extra levels to the press and keep track of all QR Code images on our game's Facebook page. JS: The timing of release of new QR Code levels will not be on a regular basis. NL: How often do you plan to make these new QR code levels available? You will be able to delete the games in the slots to replace them with newer levels and keep your favourite collection. Under the QR Code scanning section of the game, you will find nine additional free slots which you can use to store extra levels, imported into your game through QR Code scanning. JS: Pyramids has 54 basic levels divided into six different worlds.
