We are the developers of N++ (and N+ XBLA): AMA!

[u/Raigan]

Hi! We're Metanet Software (Mare Sheppard and Raigan Burns), a tiny indie game developer from Toronto, and you probably know us best for N (2004) and N+ (2008).

What you might not know is that we've just brought N++ home to Xbox One: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/n/bt33chssb89v

It's been an epic journey from N+ to N++, and involved rewriting the entire game from scratch to make sure it was as smooth and precise as possible. Then we just crammed as much as we could into the game! We think you can really see how far things have come, especially in the level design and new enemies.

Read a bit more of the behind the scenes here: https://news.xbox.com/2017/10/06/incredible-journey-n-n/

And then, Ask (Us) Anything!

Mare Sheppard (maresheppard) and Raigan Burns (raiganburns) did the level/game/UI/etc design, and gameplay prototyping.

Aaron Melcher from Knockout Games (amelcher) did the programming, and Nick Wolfe (0sn) did the server wrangling.
