- Accessibility: A Driving Force in Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard - 20 August 2025
When we think of a game designed to be accessible for children, the first reaction is often: “So, it’s going to be easier, right?” After all, when you design at a child’s level, you need to strike a balance between learning and frustration, freedom and guidance — with gameplay that’s simple to grasp. But the reality is far more subtle: making a platformer accessible doesn’t mean removing challenge, depth, or difficulty.It’s first and foremost about introducing difficulty the right way and making adjustments that work for all kinds of adventurers, as explained by Lucie Deschamps:“The speed at which a puzzle is solved doesn’t depend on whether the player is a child or an adult, but rather on whether they’re used to playing games or not. The way people think, between those who play often and those who don’t (or barely do), can be very different, because it’s a different perspective. So, to…
- Devlog: Designing a Platformer Where Story Comes First - 25 July 2025
When it comes to platformers, there are a few golden rules: fun gameplay, satisfying feedback (yes, that perfect coin pickup sound), clear goals, a smooth difficulty curve, meaningful rewards, and environments tailored to the challenges ahead. And often, there's a story — a red thread that ties all the levels and worlds together into a greater adventure.In Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard, story isn’t just part of the experience — it’s at the heart of everything. The game takes place in a rich, colorful universe already known to fans of the films, but here, it’s the narrative that directly shapes the level design.The movie’s thrilling treasure hunt felt like a natural fit for a video game adaptation. Our heroes have to jump, run, climb, and dodge traps at the last second — it’s a perfect recipe for a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled platformer.“To keep everything coherent — th…
- Creating Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard - Finding the right tone! - 3 July 2025
Finding the right tone in a creative process is always a delicate step. In the case of Chickenhare and the Treasure of Spiking-Beard, the challenge was even more complex, as the game is set in an already established universe—including the comics and films—which had already shaped the characters, their journeys, their personalities, and their voices. And it’s easy to fall into the trap of repeating familiar patterns. “We didn’t want to imitate the film, but we wanted to respect its spirit,” explained Vincenzo Bianca, CEO of N-ZONE.So how do you do that? How do you preserve the charm, humor, and optimism that define the familiar characters from the films? Three pillars: rhythm, tone, and interactions. “We embraced a tone that blends adventure, humor, self-discovery, and tenderness—elements from the film—while also incorporating features unique to video games, like a faster pace and more i…

- Deep dive into the Chickenhare universe - 9 May 2025
Chickenhare is a wildly original adventure-comedy franchise that hatched from the imaginative mind of comic book creator Chris Grine. First introduced in a series of graphic novels blending quirky humor, heartfelt storytelling, and fantastical worlds, Chickenhare quickly gained a devoted fan base with its one-of-a-kind hero—a half-chicken, half-hare with a whole lot of heart. The leap from page to screen came with Chickenhare and the Hamster of Darkness, a CGI-animated feature film produced by nWave Studios. The film brought the beloved character and his world to life in a bold, family-friendly adventure full of action, charm, and visual flair. Its success extended the franchise’s reach, inspiring a new wave of fans and a video game adaptation that lets players jump into Chickenhare’s shoes for their own daring quests. The next movie, Chickenhare and the Secret of the Groundhog, is set…
