PRESS RELEASE

Dutch game developer Triangle Studios opens office in Dallas, Texas.

Triangle Studios, has opened a new office in the United States. The new location is intended to facilitate the growth of international ambitions of the company.

Margriet Spriensma, Triangle Studios’ Unit Manager will lead the project in Dallas: “I think this undertaking is huge challenge for me personally, and a great opportunity for Triangle Studios. The US market is large enough for our company to grow, and for us to open an office in Dallas enables us to get closer to our US customers”.

Triangle Studios was established in 2006, the company develops applications and games for Nintendo DS, Wii, iPhone and Playstation 3. In the past two years, Triangle Studios has gotten a Dutch Game Award for the title Stratego: Next Edtion (DS) and an award for best startup company of 2009.

We’re very happy to announce that our collaboration with Greenpeace delivered this beautiful App called: iGreenpeace. And it is available today! It features Alex the Penguin and he loves good food, friends, naughty tricks and playing games, just like many of us do. He lives at the South Pole and has been experiencing problems due to global warming. As he has realised that politicians and business men are slow to act on this major threat to people, penguins and the planet, Alex has set up his own campaign to make things better together with you and Greenpeace. If you want to support Alex’s campaign, download the App, sign the petition and make a donation. So Alex can continue living his great life in the future!

On top of that, the Free to Play Flash version of the game has reached 150.000 plays in just a matter of 2 weeks! Very impressive if I may say so!

Below are some of the reviews published in the AppStore this weekend, it looks like the Heron: Steam Machine family has grown quite a bit!

One of those games you don’t ever want to delete on your iPhone! Very hard to stop playing. Can’t go wrong if you buy this game if you love puzzels. You will love this game.

Haven’t had the chance to try out the frantic pipe puzzler Heron: Steam Machine? Well now is your chance as this cool iPhone App will be completely FREE only this weekend, on January 23rd and 24th. Heron: Steam Machine is normally available for $0.99 in the Appstore.

Heron: Steam Machine is a game about a factory where rubber duckies are being produced by a large steam engine. On this steam engine, there are four different gauges which you will have to watch carefully. These gauges represent steam, electricity, water and oil. When the gauges start to rise, you will have to connect a pipe with the color corresponding with the gauge. By connecting the pipes, you will earn points and relieve some of the pressure. Prevent the steam engine from blowing up and save as many rubber duckies as you can!

This must be the new all-time highscore for the Wii version.

Think you can do better? Let us know and mail your highscore to us at info@triangle-studios.com.

For comparison, these are the highscore for the flash verion of Heron: Steam Machine which we released recently:

Besides that, a LOT of new games were published in the past year. In total 7 new DS titles were released in Europe, and 2 more in the US! Add to those the development of several iPhone and Flash games and you’ll clearly see that we’ve been very busy indeed.

There will be some very cool things in 2010 of course, we’ll start the year with a bang, launching Heron in the US on January 4th. We’ve also started development on our next big title for Playstation 3 and will be developing more cool games for DS and iPhone. In short, there are a lot of reasons to keep track of Triangle Studios in the following year. Have a great New Year’s Eve, and see you in 2010!

Update: And we fixed the comments!
