Colors! 3D creator discusses dev challenges, would like to do Colors! Wii U
A portion of a NintendoGal interview with Colors! 3D creator, Jens Andersson...
NintendoGal.com: What were some of the challenges you faced when making this game for Nintendo 3DS?
Jens Andersson: I think the biggest challenge was to work through the online aspects with Nintendo. Nintendo is very focused on having user-friendly and safe devices, and while they very much want to see something like Colors! 3D on their device, they don’t want to compromise that. In some ways, I think I got to test the waters as we haven’t really seen much of this level of user generated content on Nintendo platforms before. That being said, they were incredibly supportive and helpful, and seemed to spend more time working with me on Colors! 3D than I expected them to spend on any eShop title.
NG: Lastly, does Collecting Smiles plan to develop any other applications or games on a Nintendo platform in the future?
JA: I hope so. I’d very much like to see Colors! on Wii U for example, but nothing has been decided here yet. Also, it seems like the eShop is quickly becoming a great platforms for smaller developers like me, so at some point I hope to develop some of the game prototypes I’ve been working on into full games and publish them there.
