A potion of a NintendoEnthusiast interview with Nyamyam's Phil Tossell.

NE: How is development going? Roughly how far along is the Wii U version, and when will it be released?

PT: Development is going really well. We recently showed the game at the Rezzed PC and indie game show in Birmingham [United Kingdom] which marks the anniversary of when we initially showed the game a year ago. At the show we demonstrated a new chapter of the game which is set in an ocean environment.

At the moment we are focused exclusively on the iOS version. Since we are such a small team it’s difficult for us to tackle more than one thing at a time. As a result, so far we’ve only done a small amount of initial investigation for the Wii U version.

NE: Once development wraps up, what is next for Nyamyam? Would you make use of your Wii U dev kits again in the future?

PT: We’ve had little time to think about what comes next. As a self-financed independent developer a lot depends on how well Tengami does on the various platforms. As long as we can be successful enough to ensure that we can maintain our independence and keep making the games that we want to then we will be happy.

I’d say that almost certainly we’ll be using the Wii U dev kits again in the future. The Wii U has huge potential. Unlike the other next generation consoles some of the big publishers also seem to be shying away from it which leaves plenty of room for smaller developers to put out great games for Nintendo’s fans.
