Пиксельный путь: Обзор Narita Boy

Проект от небольшой студии из Каталонии может и напоминает, на первый взгляд, легендарный “Трон”, но идет по собственному уникальному пути. В центре истории Narita Boy мальчик, который нашел игровую приставку и попал в центр цифровой вселенной. Теперь только от него и его героя Нариты зависит возвращение создателя игры в реальный мир и спасение шестнадцатеричной виртуальной реальности от опасного вируса. Избранник материнской платы должен посетить отдаленные города компьютерного пространства и восстановить воспоминания создателя, которые рассказывают пронзительную историю о жизни в послевоенной Японии. Впрочем, это путешествие куда больше, чем кажется.

Narita Boy – Hotfix (Servohorse)

Hi all!

We've just updated Narita Boy with a new build, which is now live on Steam (PC). The following has been addressed:

[h3]Steam PC [/h3]

  • Servohorse mini-game frame rate has been fixed, this section of the game is no longer too fast to deem unplayable

  • Some text windows in French have unintentional “/” characters – these have been fixed.


We will have mac news very soon!

Thank you for your patience whilst these issues have been fixed, we hope your experience in the Digital Kingdom is even better! Enjoy, Sons of the Trichroma.

Narita Boy also powers ‘Saving The Arcade World’, a campaign created by Team17 and Studio Koba to raise awareness of the need to preserve arcades and arcade games, in partnership with The Strong: National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, The National Videogame Museum in the UK, and Arcade Vintage: Museo del Videojuego in Spain. Over the past two months, royalties from sales of Saving The World, one of the tracks from Narita Boy original game soundtrack, have gone towards the campaign.
