Nihilumbra is Gaming Illustrated iOS GOTY

January 8th, 2013 - BeautiFunGames

I guess the post title says everything. Nihilumbra has been choosen as iOS game of the year by Gaming Illustrated. It took us for surprise as the other nominees of the iOS category were also really good games.

Gaming Illustrated has been talking about videogame for all platforms for a long time. It has an independent and honest point of view, which makes us even more proud of the award.

Thanks!

You can check out the rest of the winners here: http://gamingillustrated.com/gaming-illustrated-2012-game-of-the-year-awards/

------------------------

For those of you waiting for the PC and MAC version, which I guess it's a vast majority of the people in Steam, here is a quick update: It's still not finished, but almost. We really want to release the game as soon as possible but our priority is that the game has the maximum quality given the PC and MAC standards, so we are polishing every detail. We can confirm that the game will have english narrator voice.

Thanks for your patience!

Nihilumbra has been featured on Apple's best of 2012

December 14th, 2012 - BeautiFunGames

Hey everyone!

Yesterday Nihilumbra's iOS version was featured as one of the App Store Best of 2012 games in the Hidden Gems category. And that's Awesome! Thanks! Hopefully we can bring it to Steam soon so everyone can play.

You can check it out on iTunes here: www.itunes.com/appstorebestof2012

Right now we are adding finishing touches to the PC and MAC version. We will release a trailer with gameplay of the PC and MAC version once it's completed. The HD looks really nice!

Also we are thinking of adding a new feature exclusive for the PC: Voice. The in-game text will be readen by a narrator voice. We think this improves a lot the overall experience of the game. More on this soon.

Also the soundtrack of the game will be released as a pay-what-you-want soon, among other surprises.

Stay tunned!

... oh yeah and VOTE VOTE keep voting!!!! ;)

Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks from all the BeautiFun Games team for all the positive feedback.
You are awesome :)

After reading all your comments we would like to share our thoughts on some of the topics discussed:

- PC controls are a very important issue. We will not release the game until we have polished its controls and we are happy with them. Our goal is that the player has a good feeling when adding colors to the world. You will be able to paint using the mouse and move Born using the keyboard and we will add some shortcuts also. All tutorials and menus will be redesigned and adapted to PC version.

- Price will be similar to Steam's standards. Our goal is that as much people as possible can play the game but also make a living so we can continue making games.
We will keep that in mind when setting the price.

- Expect us to post some videos of the PC version with the HD textures and some extra surprises soon.

Hope we can make our way to Steam, keep the votes coming!!! Tell it to your friends!!! And to your enemies too!!!!

I played this game on my Ipod I loved it from the beggining. It got even better as you go on.
The game was beautiful. Must be on Steam. I am willing to play it many more times.
