Data Design Interactive Presents
NuYu
Data Design Interactive – a
successful video games publisher and games developer, today unveiled NuYu editor
lets you put yourself in the game by creating customisable characters that fit
your personality. You can then use those characters in compatible NuYu games and
even save them to your Wii Remote to take to a friend’s house.
About NuYu?
A NuYu (pronounced New-You) is a
customisable player character editor exclusive for our Popcorn Arcade Wii range.
NuYu’s are customisable and allow the user to capture a likeness, caricature or
personality of themselves and others. After creating them, they can be used as
participating characters in NuYu compatible games.
The NuYu Editor will be first
featured in our soon to be released Kidz Sports – Crazy Mini Golf.
NuYu’s are created through the NuYu
Editor. After specifying a gender for the NuYu, the user can alter the shape of
the NuYu’s head, its eyes, hair, eyebrows, nose, and mouth. In addition, the
creator can give the NuYu glasses or facial hair as he/she desires, or give the
face wrinkles, makeup or rosey cheeks, you can also add glasses and other
accessories.
Many of the features can be
fine-tuned by adjusting their size, position, and rotation to the center of the
NuYu’s face. Furthermore using the on-screen keyboard, the creator can name the
NuYu. NuYu’s have no impact on the actual gameplay, other than to identify a
player visually in another way besides name. NuYu’s are intended to be an
extension of the player, and in keeping with the Popcorn Arcade spirit of
‘Family Family Fun’, the user will be able to use their NuYu’s in future Data
Design titles for the Wii.
