ALRIGHT a lot of people may have played certain flash games by a certain game developer as a child. If you guessed that I was talking about Nitrome, then you’re VERY VERY correct, and this post is gonna be ALL ABOUT Nitrome.

Nitrome needs their well deserved attention. Their games are not only just gorgeous in terms of graphics, but sometimes their games can tell wonderful stories, whether they be serious or just for good fun! Besides well deserved attention, you know what else Nitrome needs?

A fandom. And I mean an actual fandom. A fandom that isn’t only on the nitrome wikia or on twitter where people only share their scores… no… I’m talking about a fandom that produces actual content or a fandom where people just talk about the actual games and their stories and such! It’s so lonely in this fanbase and we’ve honestly been needing more fans that don’t just share their scores on Nitrome games or just say “oh. that was my childhood, haha.” 

If you want to learn more about Nitrome, check out the site, http://www.nitrome.com . But since the Nitrome crew is working on a new site to put their games on instead and this site will soon be outdated, be sure to follow them on twitter, https://twitter.com/Nitrome so you can tune in on any details about the new site, or even get a look at their upcoming games!

#it's never too late to make nitrome fandom rise #big hugs and thanks to all who have ever submitted and will ever submit their own ideas and fanworks #to this small civilization called nitrome community #because all of their games rock and deserve luv #btw nitrome discord server is where we're at

okay, okay now what if I ACTUALLY make a Nitrome Must Die fan comic???

the ms paint esque medium mix about shady business and distant dreams, all achieved in the coldest ways possible???

well except some elements of mechanically produced magic... but uhhh we might wanna leave it to the still developing worldbuilding???

okay fine but what's with the hustle? well it's a little passion project of mine that will revolve around made up postcanon events of NMD because that open ending can be interpreted in so many ways

yeah that emo 100th game anniversary Nitrome game uh huh

here's de synopsis: our two (2) protags are angsty fellow kids (sorta) planning on opening up a game studio of their own. why did they decide to do this – only the true OGs know /hj???

the main characters are very stupid! unemployed mfs from cheap apartments! except their supposed net worths are definitely not cheap. A and J do have quite a dark story behind of course, but nah, nah they are not traumatised by bit, quite the opposite here they're the ones that traumatize.

and so they try to start their ways out of spite! here's the catch: their puny souls can be fueled by anger and hate only, so they have to pick up some unhealthy hobbies to keep their inspiration afloat. (spoiler: cartoonish violence. exclusively. maybe mafia ca-chings)

they have no talent, they have no sheer will and any actual goals in life, but one specific thing to do, like again, out of spite.

however eventually this will quickly shift solve into a maniacal production phase which pushes them forward in game-making industry. (idk much about further stuff tbh... it's the synopsis)

the perfect result would be achieved if we make it really REALLY really close to the original source. while the source itself really doesn't show the characters' true personality enough... well I sorta strive to make all the style the writing and everything both as canon and as adapted to modern stuff as pozbl.

and yeah the artstyle?? like emo 00s cartoons sort of? you know the ones? i'm having a crisis in this field it's either making it funky as heck or not making it at all kind of stance.

ohh the world they live in is a quite an interesting place. but actually not really. generic edgy big city that has a charm I've yet to practice my writing and drawing skills for.

08 Mar 2024 update:

making it public so any fellow tumblr nitromians get another dose of nmd fan content

(because to be honest i can't get rid of the terrible hyperfixation i got on NMD alone until i do something big for it, then i'll do awesome stuff for other nitrome masterpieces after that)

this post here is not a teaser; maybe just a prompt, and so far it's a little reminder (for me it's been a prompt for a year... argh help)

the style picking is still ongoing, the script is planned yet not properly written, like for example idk what other characters to add if they're not canon to the original universe

the designs might just might get released here in a few months or so

aaand the planned page amount?? idunnow... prob 50-55 by default it needs to have a finished plot.

with this being a FAN project i take inspos from other comics that use canon characters for one's own plot (this exact genre of resurrecting the unused characters) and honestly they drove me to this haha

along with one comment under that nmd trailer vid on youtube with the same idea that got 8 likes by now.

oh it got 10 already!!! (i couldn't get in contact with the OP sadly)

so yep... now it's a semi public post xd. wait not or wait wait wait cause I still try. btw happy women's day <3
