This is some really nice fan art! If we ever get to Off the Rails for Nitromes Classics Range I would hope we could do some cover art as epic as this!

We have used them several times before and have often been commended for them being quite good.

The store localisations are all them.

Start to Map out some collisons and movement in game. Update the graphics with pixel-art.

Jank and boss balance still remains at this stage but we are finally getting somewhere!

Come up with a cool Colossus climbing idea and hire an amazing lead artist talent like @juanitomedinart.bsky.social to start sketching.

Sorry but I think porting to retro consoles is beyond the scope of this. It would be very cool but weโ€™re really using Unity to target platforms and DS would need another ground up port.

We are getting so much fanart love lately after annohncing the #NitromeClassics range. Loving this lil Test Subject Blue

We have to see how the first set of classics perform to see if its financially viable to do more. Plus get a Switch 2 DevKit. But it would be great to bring some more mouse based games to Switch 2.
