![]() Tengami will also play out with a sense of minimalism. The game features very little text, leaving most of the narrative up to the player's imagination. The reason for the paper presentation goes beyond that, however. Nyamyam also hopes to convey a unique sense of outside culture. "When we decided to pursue the idea of a game inside a pop-up book, we looked for cultures with a rich history in paper-making," said Schneidereit. "Japan has a long tradition in handmade papers and, since all of us at Nyamyam love traditional Japanese culture, we started to experiment with different Japanese papers until we arrived at the current look of the game. ![]() The art style is very minimalist, yet strikingly beautiful. It is really the combination of art style with the pop-ups that make Tengami visually stand out." The pop-up on the other hand is very complicated and on its own not very appealing to look at. The world of Tengami features a grand sense of fantasy, but it's far from a fairy tale world. Part of the reason for that is simply the general nature of Japanese fables. "Unlike Brothers Grimm fairy tales, Japanese fairy tales can be quite dark and sad," Schneidereit added. "They are also more nuanced when it comes to the concepts of good and evil or right and wrong. Tengami's narrative follows these patterns, without wanting to say too much about the actual plot." Japanese fairy tales often have a message or warning for the reader. Tengami has been in development for several years, making appearances as recently as October for IndieCade. Schneidereit notes that it was designed for iOS, specifically for the iPad. She explains that the larger screen is better suited for the game's world manipulation mechanics, but the touch screen on both devices will utilize a page-turning mechanic that helps add to the book-like presentation. While the source material may be somewhat heavy, Schneidereit says that the game's first and foremost purpose is to be relaxing. Tengami's unique appeal has not gone unnoticed. Nintendo contacted Nyamyam at the end of last year, as part of their continuing efforts to reach out to the indie community. After informally polling their fans on Twitter, Tossell and Schneidereit began collaborating with the publishing giant to see how they could translate Tengami from tablet to console. "The Wii U GamePad has undeniable similarities with the iPad and we feel confident that we will be able to adapt the game to work beautifully with it," Schneidereit said. "We have previous experience developing for Nintendo consoles and feel confident that we can deliver a good game for the Wii U, despite only being a three-person team." Schneidereit adds that this represents somewhat of a homecoming for Tossell, who previously worked as Lead Programmer for Star Fox Adventures back when Rare was under the Nintendo umbrella. There may even come a time when having an HDD is pretty much a necessity.Nyamyam hopes to put significant development time into the Wii U version of the game, so don't expect it to arrive alongside the iOS version, which is set to arrive this summer.Tengami is an atmospheric adventure game set inside a Japanese pop-up book. ![]() Basically, adding to, updating, and packaging games into one collection is a double-edged sword. until you realize that multiple games in one package means that much more storage space taken up. Getting whole remastered collections is awesome. And then there are remasters of games you loved that were previously stuck on obsolete consoles. Even if they started a certain size upon initial release, they can easily balloon up to a surprisingly massive extent. Updated by Jouanna Bondakji: Thanks to the ability to update games even after release, there will always be games that have huge file sizes. Here are some of the worst offenders on Steam. Some games in particular really ramp up the file size to the point where it's ridiculous. Patches, updates, and DLC can also contribute to bigger file sizes, and since those things are very commonplace now, you'll most likely have a bigger game in a month than you did on day one.

With the evolution of technology in the gaming world, games' graphics and quality of life features have improved substantially compared to a decade ago.
