Video: Mighty No. 9 rough engine test
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
The video above is “A super-short, super-rough engine test Inti Creates made in just seven days to see if Unreal would be viable for Mighty No. 9.” The game may not necessarily look like the footage shown, but it’s still neat to look at!
Here’s an official overview of the video:
“A super-short, super-rough engine test Inti Creates made in just seven days to see if Unreal would be viable for Mighty No. 9. To be 100% clear (caps lock on!): THE GAME WILL NOT NECESSARILY LOOK LIKE THIS VIDEO, MOVE LIKE THIS VIDEO, OR ACT LIKE THIS VIDEO — THIS IS A COMPLETELY ROUGH TEST ONLY, MADE IN LITERALLY ONE WEEK, USING ALL PLACEHOLDER ASSETS AND ANIMATION just to test how parts of the engine work. With no shaders, filters, or even models and key art in place yet, normally we would never show anything like this since it’s not representative of the final game at all, but in the spirit of this Kickstarter in showing how the game is made, even from the very earliest steps, we thought it would still be pretty cool to see a glimpse of Beck moving around in the engine (even if it is a placeholder Beck, moving through a placeholder level with placeholder enemies and animations!).”

Edge of Eternity Kickstarter opens, Wii U version planned
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Midgar Studio has launched a Kickstarter for a project known as “Edge of Eternity”. The developer describes its game as “a new RPG that will lead you to experience a unique and unusual universe. The action takes place in a world whose design combines some steampunk influence – the best Japanese RPG – and Medieval age influences.”
According to Midgar, the plan is to have Edge of Eternity on practically every platform – Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS Vita, and more. First, though, the team will need to raise $200,000 to secure funding. There’s also a $600,000 goal which will allow Midgar to create “a new version of the game using all the HD and resources of the next gen platforms”.

Mighty No. 9 reaches yet another Kickstarter stretch goal, game will have intro stage with boss
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
In just 24 hours, Mighty No. 9 has smashed through another Kickstarter stretch goal. Combined funds on the crowdfunding site along with PayPal donations exceeded $2.9 million, meaning the title will be receiving an intro stage and boss.
Here’s what the stretch goal specifically entails:
“We add an epic introductory stage—complete with a closing boss encounter—that players will take on before facing any of the Mighty No. boss levels! This will help ease everyone into the world of Mighty No. 9, and serve as a nice primer on the basic game systems and controls!”
Mighty No. 9’s next stretch goal is a support character at $3.1 million. With the rate the Kickstarter is going, that target should be met before the campaign’s end on October 1.
