We had our first stream on twitch today! We peaked with 19 viewers watching and five of them where us ^_^

Streaming something looks easier that it seems, especially when you are five people who are in the stream at the same time. It was a little bit of a nerve racking experience for all of us. It was a fun experience and something we definitely do every Thursday from now on.

We only broadcasted for an hour and at the end of the stream we started to relax more and got into explaining the development side of the game and showing how the levels where created. If there is something that you want us to talk more about or explain please don’t hesitate telling us, just hit us up on either twitter, facebook or send an email.

We can’t wait until next Thursday! Hope to see you there!

Stay a while and listen!

Crylar made this awesome wallpaper to satisfy the eager gamers that can’t wait to get their hands on Orbital Gear!

Thinking back on 2013, it was a great year. We’d been working at another company where we felt that we didn’t really have the opportunity to do what we wanted anymore and decided to start a new. This is how and why Night Node came to be, perhaps the greatest thing that happened to us all through the whole year.

Things are starting to get right on track. We secured necessary investments allowing us to actually complete Orbital Gear, as well as allowing us to avoid starvation. We also got contacted by Google, where we are now a strategic marketing partner and got on the develop’s 100 most exciting video game start-ups. Great things are happening for sure.

There is still a lot of work to be done, but overall 2014 looks like it’s going to be an awesome year. Not to mention that Orbital Gear will be released sometime in spring.

Happy new year from all of us at Night Node!

Greeting and salutations fellow humans!

So on Friday we took a trip to Gamex to check out the scene ^_^ So what did we do at Gamex? Stand in line of course! After all it is a video game convention. The indie games they had at the Square booth where great. It’s fun to see the creativity of our fellow indie game studios. Vic Bassey was the man that setup the Square booth. We must say that we are impressed and thankful with what he has doing for the Swedish indie game scene. Here are some pictures 😀

So today our lead designer aka GFX guy got sick 🙁 It’s funny how the mood of the office changes when one person is away. Time has gone by much slower today without Crylar. So we can’t wait to have him back in the office working on the game and making it beautiful.

Get better soon Crylar!

Maybe this video will help out! it’s both cute and educational.

Oh hello again.

Last week right about when we were leaving the office we got the multiplayer up and running 🙂 It’s far from done but it’s fun to see that you can play against each other. There is a lot of work to be done before we can release any kind of playable content to the public, but that day will come.

Here is a video of Binarin and Crylar trying out the multiplayer.

Today we have tried out the game with a controller and it feels great! Both Mowhammer and Crylar are huge console gamers so that was a little childhood dream of theirs to play the game they made make with a ps3 controller.

No case of the Mondays here 😀

So we have been working hard to get the Mech to work in the game and we have finally got it to work ^_^ No more cube! It’s so rad how everything changed when you have a character that moves in the game instead of a cube.

We also encountered a bug with the camera during the testing of the game!

Here is a video of the Mech in action!!
