Hey guys, Matt Raithel from the Hive Jump team here. Thanks for reading about the game! We’re all huge Nintendo fans at Graphite and it will be a proud moment indeed when we can load up Hive Jump on the WiiU!
Few questions answered:
We don’t know 100% about online Multi-player for WiiU yet, but local CO-OP is hugely important to making this game work on the WiiU. We grew up on classics like Contra and they were always more fun when playing with friends. That’s what we want to recapture here.
Though it is a bit dark in that early trailer (Just wait – a new one is in the works!), we’re not even close to the final lighting setup for the game in that video. Check out what we’re doing with Sprite Lamp and we hope you’ll stick with us as we try to become the first pixel art title using this method of dynamic pixel lighting!
Speaking of Pixel Art, yeah, we concede it isn’t for everyone. But, it is an art style near and dear to our hearts and we have always had more success when we follow our hearts.
We plan to get it out this year – so we’re not sure if that qualifies as soon or not… hopefully it means "soon"!
So, thanks again for checking out the game, we hope you’ll stick with us as we continue to share more about Hive Jump for WiiU!
