BeautiFun Games is hiring!
We have to announce a terrible new... Freya, our beloved 2D artist and animator left our team. She is a great professional and an awesome friend and it's sad to see her go, so we wish her the best luck with her life!
We want to dedicate her this song:
Right now we are looking for a new minion to join our developer team of darkness, a new soldier to enlist our fearless squad of indie awesomeness, a new BeautiFun member of joy and joyness!
It must be someone who lives near our office, because we have a chair waiting for him/her.
We have already received lots of CVs and we can say that it's going to be really difficult to choose someone. There's a lot of talent around here!

Ecce Born
We asked for some help to improve the graphics of our game, and make Born look shinier and better. A lovely lady from Spain recommended us this aesthetic.
What do you think? Pretty awesome, isn't it?

The Creature
Talking about indie games...
Have you heard about this one?
This awesome looking game is called The Creature. It's been created by a bunch of students using Unreal Engine. But... why do we talk about it on the BeautiFun Games' blog?
Pol Urós, one of our programmers, and Kevin Cerdà , the game designer, worked (a lot, actually!) in the development of The Creature. This means that The Creature is a game with (more or less) the same kind of spirit as Nihilumbra! Yay!
But one day, the seven heroes of the light joined their forces to fight the evil foe, in a long and glorious battle that lasted one hundred years.
Finally, they realized that it was impossible to destroy the creature, and they decided to split it into seven pieces and hide them deeply into a giant dark cave and pray for the creature to remain slept.
But now, thousands of years later, the creature has awakened.
It’s hungry, but it has something to do before feeding… it needs to find all the parts of it’s body to be completed and reach the surface once again.”
And an unbelievable teaser (Highly recommended):
So... what else do you need? Hurry up and download the game!
...
...
Did I say that it's available FOR FREE!?
http://thecreatureproject.wordpress.com/download/ (the download requires patience).
Hope you enjoy it!

The legend of The Creature:
“A long time ago, there was an incredible creature with outstanding powers wandering freely around the world.
It brought chaos and destruction everywhere it passed and no one was able to face it.But one day, the seven heroes of the light joined their forces to fight the evil foe, in a long and glorious battle that lasted one hundred years.
Finally, they realized that it was impossible to destroy the creature, and they decided to split it into seven pieces and hide them deeply into a giant dark cave and pray for the creature to remain slept.
But now, thousands of years later, the creature has awakened.
It’s hungry, but it has something to do before feeding… it needs to find all the parts of it’s body to be completed and reach the surface once again.”

Bornifications
There's someone new in town! And his name is Born!
You may know him, he's our main character; that awesome ninja (or monk) with shiny eyes, created from the Void; the one that has to fight for his right to exist using the colors that will learn from the world, while trying to become one of its legit inhabitants...
But he's more than that! He is becoming so freaking famous that he's starting to appear on unlikely places. We call this phenomenon Bornification.
The Best Dictionary in the World (TBDW Royal) describes Bornification as...
Bornification: the act of turning something into a bad joke with Born, the main character of Nihilumbra. Awesome game, by the way.
And here are some examples!
Do you like them? Why don't you send us some creative Bornifications? We'd love to see them on our facebook wall, or our BeautiForum! The best ones will receive a special gift!
