Philo 917 Posted April 11 Hi I'll go ahead and start My name is Philomena. I was born and raised in Zurich, Switzerland. I still live there and run a game studio together with @Micha @Markus and @Roger. In my freetime I love to read books and Manga. Every Monday I'm going to a Japanese class with Micha and Markus. I want to read japanese Mangas at some point! I used to have pets, but right now I have none. We travel around a lot and I don't want to leave them alone too much. It's hard to fight down my urge to get a Shiba Inu though >_< In summer I love to go swimming and in winter I'm a huge couch potato. Then, I love to watch series such as Steven Universe, MLP, animes, etc etc. How about you guys? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DangerousDodo 83 Posted April 24 I'm not ~technically~ a new member, but I'll post here anyways! My name is Dodo (keeping my actual name private for safety reasons) and I was born in Oregon, United States. I still reside there with not many plans to move, but I have strongly considered moving to Sweden, so that may happen later down the line. (the process is long and tedious) I enjoy drawing (I'm a semi professional digital artist) and working with reptiles. I have always been passionate about reptilian species, so I dedicate a lot of time into studying and caring for them. I enjoy watching anime and shows about tattoos and artsy stuff. Basically I'm just a dude with lots of scaly critters and art hanging on the walls lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philo 917 Posted April 24 @DangerousDodo What are your favorite animes :D? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DangerousDodo 83 Posted April 24 @Philo I really enjoy Full Metal Alchemist and Death Note, though Black Butler, Fairy Tale and Tokyo Ghoul are also some good ones in my opinion. How about you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philo 917 Posted April 24 Recently I really enjoyed Ancient Magus Bride and Made in Abyss My all time favorites are probably Parasyte and Erased. Our animator/artist @Markus is also into Anime. Markus what are your favs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markus 147 Posted April 25 Hi everyone. I'm Markus and I work at Stray Fawn Studio as a Technical Artist / Animator / Artist / Game Designer / ... and everything else they let me work on My hobbies are drawing, animation (I absolutely adore high-quality hand-drawn animation) and comics. I'm also interested in photography, Machine Learning / AI and I learn Japanese together with @Philo and @Micha. I also like Full Metal Alchemist (original and brotherhood, as well as the manga) @DangerousDodo. I have probably seen almost all live-action Death Note adaptions there are as well as read the Manga, but I haven't seen the Anime As what my favorite animes are: The list of animes I like are too long to mention here and the ones @Philo posted are definitely high on my list. Some animes which are not only my favorites but also very important to me: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, 2006 (Movie) 5 Centimeters per Second, 2007 (Movie) The Tower of Druaga, 2008 (Series) Dennou Coil, 2007 (Series) Angel Beats!, 2010 (Series) Maybe we need a Anime / Manga thread in this forum so we can nerd-out together 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylennus 4 Posted April 25 Hello there ! My name's Adrien, I'm a student in IT in France, and also a Closed Alpha player of Nimbatus. I'd like to be working in the video games industry later and I got a personal project going on to teach myself how to create games using Unity. I discovered Nimbatus a while ago (I would say early november of 2017 ?) and I immediately like the idea, tried the demo, posted a bit on the Discord/Forum at the time and sadly I had to be less active for a while (family time, classes, etc.), but now I'm back and I'll try to be as helpful as I can. It's my first time taking part in an Alpha Launch so I have to say I'm pretty excited ! I saw you guys like anime/manga and it's my case aswell ! Full Metal Alchemist is probably the one I like the most (only read the manga, I have to start the anime), I watched 3 times Hunter X Hunter (the 2011 version), I read Death Note multiples times too (never watched it though, I heard bad things about the adaptations haha) and I'm currently watching the season 2 of Seven Deadly Sins (Nanatsu no Taizai in Japanese). I'd like to learn it (maybe you could help me :p), Japan's one of my favorite country and I plan to go there this summer for about 10 days ! I would say cinema is quite a hobby too, I watch a lot of fantasy heroic kind of movies, super heroes, science fiction and all that stuff. I would say the animation movies from Studios Ghibli are my favorites by far, and LOTR Saga, as well as Harry Potter and Star Wars Prequels hold a good position if I had to make a list. That's pretty much what I would say about me, but if you want to know more don't hesitate to ask me, I'm always glad to talk ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Markus 147 Posted April 25 Welcome @Sylennus. Hunter x Hunter is one of my favorites as well also watched 2011 2 times and the original once. Read the whole manga about 2 times and even collected all the mangas 2 times yes, I'm a bit of a fanboy. It's interesting that so many people here have similar interests (be it the stories or topics like nature). It's a please to make games for you all 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylennus 4 Posted April 25 Thanks @Markus ! It is interesting indeed, I guess some hobbies tend to appeal to the same kind tastes overall if it makes sense ? I only read the first manga of HxH, but that's what pushed me to watch the anime ! I'm quite sad it won't have a follow up due to the author health issues but it's still very good, even with around 150 episodes. Series which are too long are boring me fast usually but I would watch this one a 4th time without a doubt haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaikoDragon 20 Posted April 26 Hello everyone! I'm Taiko (as I'm called in many places on the web). I'm a Software Engineer originally from Southern California (US), but I've lived in Washington State (US) for over 10 years and love it here. My favorite game currently is "Factorio". When I heard about Nimbatus originally in November I was immediately taken by the range of challenges and building and look forward to helping test the game. (btw I'm a Close Alpha Tester) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jojo 509 Posted April 27 Hello to all the new and old people here, since the awesome Niche Team made me a mod here as well, I thought I might as well introduce myself. My name is Jojo or Jojo of Faraway (yes that is a Shrek reference). I am currently studying comparative literature, german language and skandinavian studies and want to become an author one day (fantasy or science fiction). As you might have noticed I am a huge Niche Fan, the only game in my steam library that has more hours than Niche is Skyrim and they only differ by 10 hours currently. I am pretty sure it will skyrocket with the wing update though ^^ I love horses, dogs, wolves, really all kind of animals. My favourite book series is Warriors (or Warrior Cats). I am a huge Marvel fan (going to see Infinity War tomorrow). I also love the TV series Lucifer and Castle. That's all I can think of right now 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flamingogyrl~ 3 Posted April 27 Well, I'm new to this forum so I guess I'll introduce myself I'm commonly called Flamingo by my friends so feel free to call me that, I'm a girl, I was born in Louisiana but I have lived in Texas for most of my life. I am a big Niche fan and have been playing since some of the earliest versions (the version with just one island, but I don't remember it's number :p) I own a group for Niche called Niche Challenges, which I started a few months after I bought Niche. My steam profile is flamingogyrl~ (link in my about section). I am a huge fan of Warriors (Warrior Cats), it is by far my favorite book/book series. That's basically it, so ya. I'm also bad at closing off or ending stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMEcco 40 Posted April 30 Hi! I am from the United Kingdom and I am going on to do a master's degree in medieval studies. My primary interests are nature, history, art, and writing fiction. I used to be obsessed with anime and manga back in my teens and I want to get back into it these days I've been playing Niche since early access and have clocked well over 200 hours in it. I'm totally addicted! It's such a relaxing and open ended game. Very easy to make your own stories and lore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
