NetherWorld is NOT Out Yet, but we're close!

[h3]Hey Netherholics,[/h3][p][/p][p]Today, Friday September 12, 2025, NetherWorld was scheduled to be launched on both Steam and Nintendo Switch by the time of this update.[/p][p][/p][p]Well, we have good news and not-that-good news:[/p][p][/p][h3]GOOD NEWS:[/h3]
  • [p]NetherWorld is out on Nintendo Switch! (digital and physical)[/p]
  • [p]NetherWorld Steam build is ready to be played, but*[/p]
[p][/p][h3]*NOT-THAT-GOOD-NEWS: [/h3]
  • [p]Although the game build is ready since 2-3 weeks ago (press has already enjoyed it!), we're having some issues with Steam final approval due to some necessary changes regarding Steam page content (e.g. some additions to content warnings) rather than the build itself.[/p]
  • [p]These requests were fulfilled the same day, but the wait for Steam's approval exceeded our time expectations.[/p]
  • [p]We fought all we could to maintain the release day and hour with the approval, but unfortunately it wasn't possible.[/p]
[p][/p][p]We're so sorry for the inconvenience, and promise you're gonna play this sh*t as soon as Steam lets us![/p][p]We'll let you know any progress about this matter.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks for your patience![/p][p][/p][p]Hungry Pixel team[/p][p][/p]

NetherWorld Devblog #15

[h3]Hey, Netherholics![/h3][p]
How are you?[/p][p]We've heard about a thing called "summer vacation"... Is it food or something?[/p][p][/p][h3]All we know is that we've been cooking non-stop and you're gonna eat delicious shit soon, heeheehee... BUCKLE UP![/h3][h3] [/h3][p][/p]
1) Events & Showcases
[p][/p][h2]1.1) Future Games Show Live From Gamescom[/h2][p]We never imagined we'd say this, but: TOMORROW (August 20) we'll show an exclusive trailer in one of the most expected digital showcases of the year!![/p][p][/p][p]This wouldn't have been possible without the help of our publisher, Selecta Play (they have money, we don't), and can't wait for you to watch some visual surprises we've prepared! [/p][h3]Set a reminder to watch it on Youtube here![/h3][p][/p][h2]1.2) Gamescom 2025[/h2][p]Being at Gamescom digitally wasn't enough in our release year, so we'll have a physical stand at Games From Spain booth![/p][p][/p][p]If you're in Cologne these days, come and say hi! We'll be at Hall 10.2., Stand F040-E057. [/p][p]You'll be able to play 5 bosses and Tick Joe minigame too (and get a prize for playing!). [/p][p][/p][p][/p]
2) Kickstarter rewards for non-backers
[p]We don't normally share here the status of our Kickstarter campaign rewards, but NetherWorld's artbook is one we're considering selling in our Steam page digitally.[/p][p][/p][p]Artbook features:[/p]
  • [p]It's a digital artbook (PDF).[/p]
  • [p]It's in full-color.[/p]
  • [p]Width:  13,2 cm / 5.19 inches.[/p]
  • [p]Length: 16,2 cm / 2.36 inches.[/p]
  • [p]Nº pages: 32.[/p]
  • [p]Language: English, Spanish and Catalan (all versions included).[/p]
  • [p]2 exclusive illustrated covers.[/p]
[p][/p][h3]Would you consider buying it if sold digitally (PDF) in our Steam page? [/h3][p][/p][p]If you're one of our Kickstarter backers, here's an extended update with more detailed rewards status! [/p][p][/p]
3) Still working non-stop
[p]Although NetherWorld gold version is ready and fully tested for PC and Nintendo Switch, we're still polishing the polishable so you can have quick Day One / Day Two updates besides any bug you find while playing (the more people play it, the more probabilities to find a bug we didn't experienced during testing).[/p][p][/p][p]There's one bad thing tho: Unfortunately, Mac and Linux versions of the game may not be available on Day One due to lack of enough hardware to test, export and update them properly. However, we know there's people who want to play these versions and we're doing all our best to have both builds ready as soon as we can. [/p][p][/p][p]Here's a screenshot of Gazhova's Church so we can all pray to Wormpink so everything can go smoothly:[/p][p][/p]
3) Wishlist button for non-wishlisters
[p] It's easy. It's cool. It fully prepares you for a crazy ride with a cokehead mage*.[/p][p][/p][h3]Add NetherWorld to your wishlist below! [/h3][h3][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/h3][p]*Claim not contrastable.[/p][p][/p][h3]Aaaaand that's it for now![/h3][p]How was it? We hope you enjoy our new Future Games Show's exclusive trailer on tomorrow's live (August 20)![/p][p][/p][p]As always, thanks so much for your support!

Devblog break: NetherWorld gets physical!

[h3]Hey, Netherholics![/h3]

It’s been a while, huh? Hope you’re all great.

Being a small team + having different final deadlines on December 2024, February 2025 and April made impossible for us to write your traditional quarterly devblog (sorry v.v). Instead, we decided to focus all our energy into production, testing and polishing the game as much as we can.

However, Spring is here and we want to share with you this amazing news:

NETHERWORLD
WILL HAVE
A PHYSICAL EDITION!!!


Who said physical games were dead, huh? HUH?
We wanted the full old-timey experience, so f*ck empty game boxes with shitty codes inside:

[h2]PHYSICAL = Game Box + Cartridge + Game manual[/h2]

You asked WHEN? We say:


Thanks to our publisher Selecta Play, everyone who missed our Kickstarter campaign will be able to pre-order it through different retailers.

v v v v List of sites where NetherWorld's Physical Edition is available* v v v v
[h3]PRE-ORDER NETHERWORLD PHYSICAL EDITION HERE![/h3]

*Sites updated in real time. We hope in the upcoming hours/days the list will increase with the pending US/worldwide retailers too (or new ones).



You have it? COOL. After making space in your shelves between the funkos and the vinyl records, talk to your neighbor! Word-of-mouth always helps us a lot.

(It seems these guys misunderstood the assignment...)


Btw tell your neighbor we have more announcements to make soon too, so if y'all don't wanna miss anything...
[h3]Add NetherWorld to your wishlist![/h3]

[h3]Aaaaand that's it for now! How was it?[/h3]
If you have any questions or wanna get physical too, please comment below or send us a mail to [email protected].

As always, thanks so much for your support...

...and get ready to touch NetherWorld with your dirty hands! MUAHAHAHA
