Triangle Studios is proud to reveal the teaser trailer for their upcoming action-adventure game: Cross of the Dutchman. The trailer will find its way across the internets as of today, let’s see where this brings us. In the first place we hope it will gather attention from people currently not familiar with our game. Second to that we would like it to get a bit more crowded in here.

For those of you who think Youtube is only compressing the heck out of our glorious trailer, check out this page for a direct link to a Quicktime version (1080p .mp4), just for you! Do not forget to turn on your sound. Oh and don’t be shy in spreading the word

Muddy Monsters Attack Ameland is a beautiful co-creation between Triangle Studios and STERC. We at Triangle are responsible for the Audio, Technology and Animations, and the guys over at STERC have done amazing work on the graphics department. The game is built for a client of STERC, the tourism agency on Ameland. It’s amazing that we’re able to work on a game project for a client like this, it really shows that videogames have reached all layers of society and are regarded as equally valuable as any other marketing method.

So about the game, we offer 60 unique levels for you to conquer in 3 different worlds. First, you will have to battle the Muddy Monsters crawling up to the lighthouse of Ameland, secondly you will deliver the battle on the seashore, and finally you will deliver the final blow at the open sea on the ferry to Ameland. The game will get increasingly difficult, introducing new enemies and weapons for you as you go along. This game will offer a great challenge and many hours of gameplay. We hope you enjoy Muddy Monsters Attack Ameland!

Create an unique Graffiti design with the editor, which has over 50 different brushes. Earn points by placing your design virtually around the real world using your GPS location. Tag over rival graffiti spots for extra points. These points can be used to protect your own graffiti or to buy new creative tools, colors, and backgrounds! With these tools you can keep improving your graffiti design. The leaderboards will show which user dominates the game and gains fame and respect!

The game is currently only available in Canada. And will be available in the rest of the world early 2011. Keep an eye on our website or check www.mygraffitiwars.com for more Graffiti Wars news.

Make sure to try your best on those leaderboards and put in a decent score. If you want an introduction to the game, just check out the built-in tutorial, which teaches you the basics of playing the game. When you are familiar with the game, head over to the store and explore some of the amazing new tracks by artists such as Little Fish (Am I Crazy), DR (Disco King & I Heart Rollerskates) and Gan Juan (Rising Up).

The most important aspect of the game is; for each song you buy, money is being donated to the charity organizations supported by OneBigGame!

Update: It looks like we’re off to a good start, the first gamers are already enjoying the songs!

OneBigGame (http://onebiggame.com), the non-profit publisher of videogames, today officially confirmed an exciting new partnership with ngmoco (http://ngmoco.com), the premier creator and publisher of freemium apps for smartphones, on the upcoming music app WINtA. The new game is being developed in the Netherlands by Dutch team Triangle Studios and led by Tokyo-based Masaya Matsuura (of NanaOn-Sha), creator of the famous PaRappa the Rapper series and widely recognized as the father of the music game genre. The partnership is truly in the spirit of the OneBigGame initiative, which is all about game designers working together to raise funds for charity.

“Working with Masaya Matsuura in conjunction with ngmoco is an important step in bringing WINtA to life, and we’re so excited to be collaborating with these two creative dynamos,” said Martin de Ronde, director of OneBigGame. “Releasing WINtA on ngmoco’s leading plus+ social network offers a new level of visibility to our charitable initiatives.”

WINtA is the next logical step in the music games genre as it comes up with a new way of involving players in a song’s music and lyrics. Making full use of the iPhone and iPod touch’s touch abilities, WINtA provides a fun and natural way for people to tap along to their favorite songs while creating a unique and addictive game challenge at the same time.

WINtA is coming soon to the App Store on iPhone and iPod touch devices worldwide. For more information on OneBigGame’s charity initiative, please visit http://onebiggame.com. For more information on WINtA, keep an eye on http://wintagame.com.
