Nocturnal is working on its first Wii U title, Flowerworks HD: Follie’s Adventure. The indie developer could create more titles for the console, but the future is entirely dependent on how Flowerworks HD performs.

The studio’s Michael Shamgar explained to Nintendo Life that Nocturnal currently has its devkits on loan. As a result, “we need to purchase them if we are to continue with development,” he said. That means Flowerworks will probably need to reach a certain threshold before more Wii U titles are confirmed – which could include an almost-finished “epic RPG” and sequel to Timegap-X.

Shamgar also briefly touched on potential 3DS support. Unfortunately for fans of the handheld, Nocturnal doesn’t have any plans for the system at the moment.

Prismatic Games is planning Hex Heroes for the Wii U eShop, an exclusive real-time strategy game for the console. Here’s what you should know:

– One players is the commander
– Commander makes executive decisions, manages resources, and surveys the broad map from a god-like GamePad bird’s eye view
– Other player chooses different classes
– Classes have unique abilities
– Classes go directly onto the map, with an individual point of view
– The second player tries to build up their city, fortify it, explore dangerous new territories, and fight off enemies
– Start a game by choosing 2 of 8 skills (classes) that create a unique combination in what each player brings to the table as an asset to his team
– Ex: Rogue/Archer combo provides stealth/range; Woodcutter/Knight is well-rounded; Woodcutter/Scout is more of a support type
– 4 different players choose their combinations and join together as a team
– Eeach game will have its own strategical way to win
– Asymmetrical gameplay
– Mario Castañed (The Bridge) chose the visual style
– Visuals are simple in complexity
– Graphics are meant to give off the feeling of being inside a strategy board game
– One player will have the bird’s-eye-view of the board game map, while the others will look like little figuring pieces in a board game
– Grant Kirkhope on board for the soundtrack
– Kickstarter should be up on March 25

WaterMelon has reiterated that Pier Solar HD is a possibility for 3DS.

Company president Tulio Adriano Cardoso Gonçalves told RedBull UK:

“We’d like to have supported more platforms at the launch, but we had to draw a line at certain point so that we didn’t lose our focus. Still, there’s a lot of demand for handhelds such as 3DS and PS Vita, so we’ll assess those after the game is launched on the main platforms.”

A few tidbits about the Wii U version of Pier Solar HD have been divulged as well. As far as how the GamePad is being taken advantage of, Gonçalves said:

“On the Wii U you can either use the GamePad as a mirror screen for off-TV play, or as a fully-interactive second screen that will allow you to perform many operations related to your inventory, spells and other new functions new to Pier Solar HD.”
