We'll let you know once Tengami appears in the App Store. Of course, it's important for developers to ensure that applications are up to standard before releasing them in the App Store, and so in a way, it's good to hear that developer Nyamyam is dedicated to ensuring that Tengami is perfect before making the application available to download.Īfter all, not every developer is so vigilant. While Tengami is definitely coming out this year, we still have a fair amount of work to do and therefore we won't be releasing this summer. We are sorry for making you wait so long, but we have spent almost three years on Tengami now and want to keep working on it until we feel it is ready. If you can't see the above video, please click this link. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Tengami, here's a trailer of the app, which provides something of an idea of what you can expect once the game becomes available. Though little is known about the app, its attractive, minimalistic graphics and interesting gameplay have rendered the adventure game highly anticipated. That being said, while the application isn't set to grace the App Store this summer, the game, which is more than three years in the making, will "definitely come out this year," according to designer and co-founder Jennifer Schneidereit.

Pop-up designs have discrete fold types, and you create interesting shapes by connecting those folds according to certain rules.Tengami is an iOS app worth getting excited about, but unfortunately the game - which offers iDevice owners an interactive "pop-up" world available to explore - has recently been delayed.

Schneidereit compared the Paper Kit to a set of Legos, except instead of lego bricks, she had to work with paper folds.

In order to create this kind of authenticity, Nyamyam worked with expert pop-up designers and even created their own design tools, which they call the Paper Kit. In fact, several scenes from the game have already been created using real paper. You can make everything in Tengami with paper, scissors, and glue-provided you have enough skill with pop-ups.

I dont think many players will realize it, Schneidereit tells me,but Tengami is a real technical achievement-the whole game is a series of pop-ups, and all of them fold in authentic ways. Tengami got its start nearly three years ago, and one major reason that it took so long to create is that the developers had to design their own tools. Why dont we try making pop-ups with specialty Japanese paper. I worked in japan, and phil has been there several times. Eventually, they decided on Japan because of the specialty paper used in Japans long history of papercraft. So the developers asked themselves which nations have a strong history of papercrafting. Theyre bright and colorful, but we wanted to do something a bit more sophisticated. Pop up books are focused on kids, Schneidereit admits. The mixture of popup mechanics and Japanese setting was an early decision. And as beautiful as Tengamis still images are, its even more incredible to watch Buddhist pagodas and Shinto gates unfold themselves with the flick of a finger. The influence of Japan is obvious in the architecture and the omnipresence of cherry blossoms, but the vibrant colors ensure that the eye never gets bored. Tengami has an absolutely gorgeous art direction. If youve even glanced at the pictures in this gallery, you know what Im talking about. We thought, why hasnt anybody done this before.? Prev of 8 Next Prev of 8 Next According to Schneidereit, once they thought of the idea, it seemed obvious. According to Schneidereit, the first questions the newly-formed Nyamyam games asked itself were, What kind of games can we create that nobody else has done before? They quickly realized that they had never seen a game make use of the intricate and beautiful art of the pop-up book. So, the trio left Rare to form their own studio in 2010, looking to create something new.

Its all about franchises, and we thought that was kind of boring. At the end of kinect sports, Schneidereit says, we thought it was a great learning experience, but didnt like the way that mainstream development is going. After working at Rare for several years, Schneidereit and her friends got tired of being told what games to make. Tengami is the creation of three developers on their way out from Rare-the studio that gave you all-time classics like Donkey Kong Country, Banjo-Kazooie, and Goldeneye 007.
