NightSky for Windows

I post this topic because I saw a trailer that game is only for Wii. I'm very good in Adobe Flash and BOX2D ( Not an expert, but quite good ), so I came up with idea to port this game for Microsoft Windows. Because Flash has support for many OSes ( and some consoles ), game can run in Linux also . So what you say abouit that ? Nifflas, is this a good idea ?

While no doubt many people, me included, would be happy to play NG on their computers, it's just not happening. Nifflas said so several times. I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, just telling you the sad truth.

Still, maybe he'll change his mind and take you up on this offer. I don't think this will happen, though.

=|=

The PC version already existed, it's just not going to be released, but rather ported to the Wii and sold exclusively as a Wiiware title. Capitalism sucks.

To Yukabacera and PONTO, he is actually proposing to re-create the game in flash.

Nifflas indeed has started to make this for PC, but due to license issues abandoned it. I don't think Nifflas would be against a look-a-like for the PC, but I don't know what their license agreement says.

It might be that Nicalis will try to sue you for doing this though, but I guess Nifflas can answer this question best.

So Nifflas, do you think Nicalis would mind a fan-like game using flash for any OS's?

Maybe you are right. Well, we need to wait for Nifflas's answer. I'm very good in Flash animation and BOX2D physics, and it will be too bad that NightSky is only for Wii. It will be good to be release for other platforms

For now I'd recommend a 'no' at the most, at the least a 'wait'. There's already one clone released on iPhone, wouldn't do any good for another clone for other platforms to come out before the game itself.

It'd be better if you put that effort into a new game of your own, don't you agree?

Well, actualy, I wanted to create a ball game of my own. And I'll do it Moderators, you can freely lock this topic !

I thought he finished it completely for PC and Nicalis is porting the finished product.

It wasn't finished as a 1.0 ready to release product, but it was indeed pretty far. Engine made, most levels too, graphics too, that sort of stuff.

Heh, so that'd mean the second clone gets out before the original game. Now NS is the game people will think is the clone (and for good reason too I suppose). I shouldn't really comment about it, but I was really hoping things would happen quicker. Of all the people who's waiting for this game release, remember that I'm the one who awaits it the most. I spent a full year on it after all.

The problem is that you started publishing footage too early for the release schedule. You couldn't have guessed this would happen, though...

Well back then it was supposed to be released what like a year ago.

NICALiS isn't the best at keeping on schedule *cough*Cave Story*cough*

Well, nobody honestly thought it was that early when the trailer was releases. It's neat though that the website is up! And remember, if you hear anyone saying NS will never be released, that's just plain incorrect.

...and in the meantime, I'll keep releasing more PC games.

Doesn't the exclusivity expire after some years? There are games which were made platform-exclusive, but after some time (say, 5 years) got released for other platforms. For instance, after the life cycle of the wii is over, won't Nicalis (or Nifflas) be able to publish the game elsewhere?
