Ronimo celebrates a year of Awesomenauts, with more on the way

May 3, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Ronimo Games has shared this video on the first anniversary of its latest title Awesomenauts, featuring a look at all of the game’s iterations over its history. From early alpha builds to the release version and then the various skins and updates, you can watch the awesomeness increase in front of your eyes.

Ronimo promises more is coming to the world of Awesomenauts. Update 1.18 is currently in testing, and it will add a balance overhaul and a Leon Pirate skin into the game that will replace all of that character’s audio. Admiral Swiggins, the winning character from the “Design Your Own Awesomenaut” contest, is also set to release soon.

Let your soul be your pilot to this new Awesomenauts map

April 10, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Awesomenauts‘ patch 1.17, now available on Steam, adds two new skins and a map called Aiguillon, which is the French word for “Sting.” We’re not sure why a map dedicated to a great English songwriter is outfitted with a stealth orb powerup and lots of insect imagery, but — wait. We just got it.

Ronimo Games considering crowdfunding for Awesomenauts content

March 23, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Awesomenauts developer Ronimo Games is considering a crowdfunding approach to make its next project a reality. The developer self-published Awesomenauts on Steam in August 2012, and has since offered a number of updates and extra content for the PC version of the game.

Though the developer’s next project is “not Awesomenauts 2,” it does have ambitions to expand on Awesomenauts. “There are some bigger features that we want to try to do, but we don’t have the capacity to really do that right now,” Ronimo Games co-founder Jasper Koning told Joystiq during PAX East.

Crowdfunding extra content has lead to success before, most recently in the case of a successful Indiegogo campaign to bring new characters to Skullgirls. The campaign reached its $ 150,000 goal in less than 24 hours.

As seen with Lab Zero Games, the costs for creating new content for its fighting game made the goal a reasonable one to obtain. Likewise, Ronimo Games has added four characters and a number of maps to Awesomenauts in the game’s lifetime, and has offered that content to Steam players for free.

Not every piece of additional Awesomenauts content is free, as the developer sells character skins. Without revealing any specific numbers, Koning told Joystiq the “skins do very well, we’re not getting really rich off of it, but well enough for us.”

Two new Awesomenauts on the way, latest map in two weeks

March 23, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Ronimo Games is demoing a new level for Awesomenauts called Aiguillon at PAX East. The level takes inspiration from the game’s character Leon, as it features a power-up that grants Leon’s stealth ability to whoever grabs it first. Ronimo tells Joystiq that the map will undergo a closed beta phase before being released in two weeks on Steam.

Awesomenauts will also receive two new characters, one of which is currently in production. The other character will be the result of a community survey on Facebook, which gives fans a chance to see their character designs in the game.

Creepy Caterpillar Monk Joins Awesomenauts

February 20, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Ronimo Games have announced the latest playable character for its 2D MOBA, Awesomenauts. The Steam-exclusive caterpillar, Genji, brings a healthy appetite and butterfly-focused attacks.

Genji's abilities are centered around buffing allies and disabling enemies, which makes him a good pick for players who enjoy taking on the critically important support role. According to the game's creators, when Genji's not in battle, he enjoys eating binges and reading pornography. So there's that.

(Please visit the site to view this media)

The official site says that Genji is currently being beta tested, and there's no word yet on when the character will be released.

New Awesomenauts character Genji announced

February 20, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Ronimo Games introduced its 13th character to Awesomenauts, and his name is Genji. Genji is one of the last living Entin, a caterpillar-like monk “on a pilgrimage to restore his faith in the great space butterfly.”

He is also a support character that specializes in “shielding allies and banishing enemies.” Ronimo tells us that Genji is being put through testing in closed beta, along with a sizable balance overhaul for the game, so there’s no specific date for when the character will join the rest of the Awesomenauts crew. The official site for the game lists him as a Steam exclusive, though.

Minecraft Creepers (sorta) invade Awesomenauts

January 24, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Look, Creepers are dangerous enough on their own – people don’t need to be going around giving them powered suits of armor like Ronimo Games has done in its latest Awesomenauts update, which is now live on Steam. Well, technically it’s not a Creeper, but rather a Creeper skin for existing ‘naut Clunk. Still, creepers shouldn’t have a role model like this to look up to.

The Creeper Clunk skin can only be acquired by finding someone wearing it in-game and killing them, thus becoming “infected” with it. Since the skin can’t be bought or obtained otherwise, we expect that equipping it will be somewhat akin to painting a giant bullseye on your chest. Which is how it should be, honestly, since all Creepers deserve to die.

All Creepers deserve to die.

Steam Holiday Sale features Awesomenauts, Max Payne and Torchlight

January 2, 2013 by Blossom Leave a Comment

This year’s Steam Holiday Sale is winding down, but there’s still four more days to practice self-restraint or give into full PC purchasing indulgence.

There’s still four hours to grab Deus Ex: Human Revolution for $ 5. There’s also deep discounts on indie favorites The Binding of Isaac and Terraria at $ 1.49 and $ 3.39, respectively. Alan Wake’s entire very bad vacation is also on sale for $ 9.99.

As for the deals you’ll have a little more time to contemplate: Torchlight, May Payne, Transformers and Total War franchises are all 50 to 75 percent off. The underappreciated Awesomenauts is $ 3.39, which is a great 2D arena game if you’ve got some friends to practice with over the holiday.

Awesomenauts teams up with Mac

December 6, 2012 by Blossom Leave a Comment

Awesomenauts is available on Mac today, making it cross-play compatible on Steam. So if you already purchased the game on Windows and for some reason want to play it on Mac instead, have at it.

To celebrate the Mac port, Awesomenauts is on sale right now for 25% off through Steam, a mere $ 7.49 until December 10. We’d never dare tell you what to do, but if you were going to spend $ 7.49 on a video game, we’d like to think you’d choose a good one.
