Thanks Alexis, this is some great fan artwork!
We have been sent some awesome fan art this week that is very in keeping with the steampunk style!
Myles has made an array of custom weapons, a power generator and a tank!
Thanks for the artwork Myles! :D
If you have any fan art you have made about Nitrome please do send it in! We love everything we get sent especially if it is our work applied to something we have never seen before. We will feature the best, most striking and most unusual pieces in our blog so
stay tuned for another in about a weeks time :)
Hi Nitromians,
It's a bank holiday weekend, and so, we won't be back until Tuesday! This is why we have decided to do our end of the week round up today!
We hope that you have enjoyed the release of Steamlands and continue to salvage, build and destroy until your hearts content! Also we thought we'd mention that Steamlands has been placed into a 'Free Indie Rapid Fire' competition over at bytejacker.com!
If you are enjoying the game, why not vote for Steamlands! :)
Stay tuned next week as we will be bringing you much more news, gossip and other cool stuff!
Have a great weekend!
Howdy Nitromians!
So what’s new? LOADS!!! But we will show you one thing at a time… so today we wanted to wet your appetite a little more on our up and coming game “Test Subject Green”. We’re well into the development process right now and so hopefully you’ll all be playing it until your hearts’ content in a not to distant future. This short video may answer some of your questions and pose some new ones, alas we didn’t want to give too much away!
Oh… and for those who gave their feedback
on Test Subject Blue, thank you… it really
helped in shaping the sequel.
Happy watching… much more to come soon!.

Hi Nitromains!
I just thought I would let you all know that our new site redesign is still underway, and also give a little update about our progress! We are currently working on a skinning system to make it easier for our artists to produce more great skins!
We are also looking into several caching issues so that we can bring you our new games and content as soon as we release them!
Currently the redesign is progressing well, I plan to bring you more website updates soon!
Also we fixed the buttons below the blog for the steamlands skin, some of you have pointed out that the buttons weren't appearing. This has now been fixed! :)
We've been very busy here at Nitrome addressing some of the bugs within our game Steamlands that some of you have mentioned on Facebook, Twitter and via our fan Email.
We are focusing our efforts on the more browser specific problems within the game, as they seem to be the most apparent. Thanks for reporting the bugs!
Hi Nitromians,
Some of you may have noticed that we launched our Steamlands game today, and now its not there! We are currently fixing issues with the game. The problem we had was the mouse is not showing up correctly and we are currently working on fixing it!
Check back soon!
Hey there Nitromians,
Our long awaited epic game Steamlands has finally been released.
So what are you waiting for? Grab a cup of tea and go and play it right now! As always Helpful feedback is always welcome. So any bugs that you find please do let us know.
Enjoy!
Quote Unquote did an indepth interview with Nitrome founder and Managing Director Mat Annal. If you ever wanted to know how Nitrome started, how we work or our goals, then you want to read this.
They also have put up some of our development sketches so if you were ever curious as to what Test Subject Blue might have looked like or see early sketches from Canarys development you might want to check this out :)
Also we're curious….are you interested in seeing our development work? Let us know your thoughts on Facebook, Twitter or good old trusty email!
Hi Nitromians,
That’s a wrap for another week. We hope you enjoyed all of the coverage that Steamlands is getting and that you are psyched for the release because…….dun dun dun…..next week that will happen!
Although that I’m sure Steamlands will be the main event, there are other things to be excited about too including another preview and an all new site skin! See you next week! :)
Hi Nitromians!
The lovely folk at Indiegames.com have been given some playtime with our upcoming Steamlands game and have said some nice things about the game:
“Nitrome has been working on this one for a good while now, and from what I played this afternoon, it's been worth the wait”
To check out their full preview: Click Here
Jayisgames.com are busy playing our soon to be released Steamlands game to ready a review. To check out their preview of the game: Click Here
Update:
The preview now includes some of their feedback from their playtime with the game and they seem to be enjoying it:
"We had a chance to get our hands on a pre-release version of Steamlands, and we've basically decided we're in love with it"
"Any game that looks this good, plays this well, and lets you build and drive patchwork steampunk tanks will earn a permanent place in our browser window!"
Well I don’t think we could have asked for any better than that! We hope that you all feel the same when the game launches soon and until then you would be well advised to go and check out the rest of Jay and his crews impressions Here! :)
Hi Nitromians!
We have got some more fanart to show you!
It seems apparent now that Lego is the medium of choice for our fans, as Jonatan proves with this fantastic Skywire model! Thanks for sending this in Jonatan!
