Nintendo recently sent out developer kits for their new NX system but also opened applications for program development. (https://developer.nintendo.com/home ) Nintendo seems to be opening up their systems to make it much easier to port games to whereas it used to be nearly impossible. I’m actually glad they are taking a more friendly approach to it especially since they have been bleeding developers and publishers since the last few generations of games. Hopefully the NX will bring all these companies back to Nintendo and make some awesome stuff happen.
On other fronts, looks like Davey Wreden wasn’t the only one making a game.
William Pugh, co-designer of The Stanley Parable, has made his own company with some other friends and started an ARG at his website (http://crowscrowscrows.com/) So far it’s looking pretty interesting at least if the ARG has any relation to the game itself and seems to deal with a TV studio or movie set where something has happened in, thefts… After going through most of the ARG I am still unsure but it’s interesting to follow. Just can’t wait to see what kind-of game William comes out with.
Also Happy Back to the Future Day!
