N.O.V.A Mini Site. N.O.V.A. Apple Keynote. N.O.V.A. Teaser. N.O.V.A. Multiplayer Mode. N.O.V.A. Game Trailer. N.O.V.A. Interview. A few months ago the famous japanese video games magazine Famitsu got an exclusive interview of Arnaud, the producer of N.O.V.A. Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance, that you already met in Kal Wardin’s first comic strip. So here’s the translated version of the interview. Oh and by the way, with my awesome Photoshop skills I managed to get a clean picture of Kal’s iPhone (if you don’t know what I’m talking about check out the latest comic strip!). I think Sara will have to explain herself… And now the interview! Enjoy ;) < Arnaud, producer of N.O.V.A. Famitsu: N.O.V.A. Arnaud: A project of a huge scale like N.O.V.A. Famitsu: In Japan, FPS is not a mainstream genre on portable consoles such as Nintendo DS and PSP. Arnaud: It’s true that FPS games are generally not considered a suitable genre for the iPhone/iPod Touch but we at Gameloft didn’t see it that way.
Famitsu: A month has passed since its release, and N.O.V.A. Arnaud: We are grateful for the great reviews! Arnaud: It’s a long story! N.O.V.A. Files #4: The Dark Past. The free version of N.O.V.A. Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance is now available in the App Store! And not only does it allow you to play the first two levels but it also includes an exclusive Shooting Range mini-game! And to celebrate this release here comes the comic strip you asked for: Kal Wardin’s Dark Past, showing you in exclusivity the last mission of our hero. Can you guess what this decisive message was and who sent it? N.O.V.A. Files #3: Advent of a Hero. Many of you probably wonder how we create the heroes for our video games.
