#tigrounette

Non, je n’ai pas acheté de gargouille de chat à la brocante de Bourghelles, juste des assiettes, une vieille croûte et 2 bouteilles vides de genièvre et de picon...

Pigrounette!!

Hey mice!

For those who don’t know, Tigrounette has created many mini-games in the past. Three of his games were united into one platform called Extinction (available on extinction.fr). However, due to his lack of time, he wasn’t able to maintain them. The amount of players of Extinction is dropping dramatically, and Tig is quite sad to see it die.

That’s why we discussed it at the office and decided to integrate these three games into Atelier 801. Bouboum, Forteresse and Aaaaah will join Atelier 801′s catalog of games, and will be available through our upcoming Community Platform that Azrou is building. This Community Plaftorm was first intended, as you may know, to link all the players of Transformice and of the second game we’re developing, so you can use only one account to play all those games, and not loose your friends list and tribe.

This will bring together five games: - Transformice - Aaaah - Forteresse - Bouboum - Our second game

Extinction’s database will be merged into the Atelier 801 platform database and they will be able to keep their personal data such as friends, tribes and profile. The slight difference is that Extinction’s players will have to login with a + in front of their nickname (which will be visible in game) to avoid duplicates nicknames.

In order for the migration to be frictionless, the three games will be recoded using Transformice’s system, and will get a graphical revamp. You can see some sketches for the new Forteresse here.

The first character sprtie for Forteresse in now over too !

We also want to be straight with you : we’re not stopping Transformice’s development and Tigrounette will mainly work on these three games when he’ll be home. It’s also not a merge, each game will have a different website and you won’t have to play on these games if you don’t want to.

Also, you’re free to try these games out now. They’re a really small community (~600 players at rush hour) so pleaserespect its community and don’t spam them.

Tigrounette has been seen with a new skeleton skin fur

and I say... It's pretty wicked! But, I've come to the conclusion that EVERYONE will be wearing it. So, Melibellule should get to working on new Halloween skins besides the one above. ^_^

Maybe a little pumpkin skin, or Frankenstein even?

What do you think of the Skeleton Skin ?

Transformice é um jogo online e gratuito baseado em Flash, desenvolvido por "Melibellule" (Mélanie Christin) e "Tigrounette" (Jean-Baptiste Le Marchand). 

O conceito do Transformice é bem simples: você é um rato, deve controlá-lo por meio das setas ou ASDW, até o queijo e voltar à toca no menor tempo possivel. No jogo, há diversos mapas, com vários obstáculos diferentes pelo qual os ratos devem passar para chegar ao seu objetivo. Para ajudá-los nessa tarefa, há o Shaman, que é um rato com poderes mágicos e que pode conjurar diversos objetos, como pedaços de madeira e caixas, para levar os ratos até o queijo e trazê-los de volta. O Shaman é trocado a cada rodada, e é o jogador com mais pontos na sala.

Hoje o Transformice é um jogo muito popular, batendo o recorde de mais de 75.000 (setenta e cinco mil) jogadores online em todos os servidores. O jogo mudou muito desde os seus tempos primordiais (ano de 2010), ficou um jogo mais evoluído, acrescentando diversas funções para a melhoria do game e essas mudanças envolveram novas paisagens nos mapas, mais itens na loja, uma melhor interface, mudanças nos pisos e nos mapas e outras utilidades. Também já teve eventos comemorativos (Natal, Halloween, Dia dos Namorados, Aniversário de 1 ano, etc.) e também eventos solidários, para arrecadar dinheiro para doações(como Brazil Cheese Day e Help Turkey Weekend). O Transformice está além do próprio jogo e do fórum, presente em vídeos no You Tube mostrando tutoriais e a jogabilidade, algumas comunidades nas redes sociais Orkut, Facebook e Twitter e também contém vários blogs, denominados de "fan-sites".

It’s time to share our plans with you once again!

Micro-payements:

Tigrounette shared this information with you yesterday in the afternoon but we think it’s better to talk about it again. Melibellule has prepared two brand-new skins this week!

Skins and fur colors won’t be recolorable but hats will be as many times as you want!

Tribe:

A tribe forum included into the game should appear by the beginning of summer! This forum won’t be managed by the moderation team but by the tribe members and you’ll be free to share whatever you want on this forum.

With this incoming tribe forum, Tigrounette will also add a new maibox for your Private Messages directly into the game!

We’d also like to add a new feature for your tribe houses! Why not being able to share some Youtube videos via your TV?

Features:

You think you’re one of the best tribe? Why not confirm it by fighting against some other tribes then! We’d like to introduce the “Mulodrome” into the game around this Summer to let you test your mouse skill and compare it to some other teams/tribes.

With the incoming Mulodrome, I’ll prepare an official inter-server tournament that will take place this summer! The main subject of this tournament will be the Olympic Games.

Atelier 801:

A new developper is coming next month to help Tigrounette! (18/05)

Atelier 801 is also looking for a brazilian and a turkish community manager. If you’re ready to come to France to work with us and if you speak english or french, send us you resume here. (please choose the Business-related category)

Micro-payment:

As you may now perfectly know, we’ll introduce fraises (micro-payment) really soon and I’m pretty sure you’re wondering why they aren’t released yet. We told you that you’d be able to purchase some fraises only via paypal at the beginning and many young players seemed sad because they wouldn’t be able to purchase anything. You don’t have to worry anymore: you’ll also be able to purchase some fraises with your mobile thanks to Zong!

Micro-payment will be released during May (we can’t be more precise at the moment) and there will be a beta phase before the final release!

Melibellule also almost finished to prepare every item and here is an other example ofpersonalized items. You’ll be able to personalize your item in exchange for some fraises.

Due to the addition of SMS payment, we weren’t able to create a new easter event.

(Personalized items)

New interfaces:

Tigrounette would like to change the game interfaces soon. For example, he’d like to do a better chat interface with some better tabs.

He’d also like to redo the tribe window with some new functionalities, more rights, a scrollable welcome message and maybe a future tribe emblem! *-*

Editor:

We also have some plans for the map editor. We’d like to make it more understandable and easy to use for everybody thanks to small changes: you could be able to change the Z value without clicking like crazy on + and – for example.We’ll also try to change the highlight system and add a new selection tool to allow you to select several grounds at the same time!

Shaman:

The shaman hasn’t changed for two years now, so we think it’s time to improve it! We don’t know what we want exactly, but we’d like to offer you the possibility to specialize your shaman.

Communities:

Last week, we’ve added three new communities for the hungarian, polish and dutch players. We’d like to create a community per language in the future!

Japan Expo:

It’s now official! Atelier 801 will take part of the Japan Expo event! For those who don’t know this event, it’s a famous convention based on Japanese popular culture (including mangas, anime, and video games) but that has been now expanded to include some other culture in Paris.

For this particular event, Loukno and Melibellule are preparing some awesome goodies such as a plushies, T-shirt and buttons.

(plushies *-*)
