Hey PixelJunk fans,
Well, Q-Games has been busy again, and not just on PixelJunk. You may have noticed some new additions to the PlayStation 3’s XMB (Xross Media Bar) with the latest firmware update to version 3.00.
Well, we’re behind the “star dust” and if you haven’t noticed it yet, you’re in for a nice surprise. We wanted to implement something like the beginning of the movie Gattaca but they wouldn’t let us go quite that far, so we settled on the subtle but pretty dust effect you can see now. If you shake the Wireless Controller, you can move them about a bit, as if they are being carried by eddies in the wind.
Also, there are these new things called Dynamic Themes, and we’re proud to say that this is a system we were involved in developing. Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) wanted to spice up the background a bit and static pictures just didn’t cut the mustard. So we collaborated with them to make a system where developers can display what they want and animate and move them around. This definitely adds a little life to the PS3’s background so be sure to try it out.
In fact, go ahead and download our PixelJunk Monsters Dynamic Theme which is now available for $2.99 on the PlayStation Store. Soon you’ll have the little Tikiman running around amongst the trees behind whatever it is you are doing in the XMB. This is actually the very first theme ever made with the system because we used it to test out the features!
So go for it and grab a bit of PS3 history for yourself.
Oh and one more thing…PixelJunk Monsters Deluxe is coming to PSP very soon featuring a brand new island, more maps, new monsters & towers. We’ll have more info on that later!
Can we PLEASE have atleast 1!!! Dynamic Theme for free plzzz, WORLDWIDE!
I heard that the Afrika Dynamic Theme wass exclusive for Japan and for FREE!!
But I don’t like account spamming and certainly don’t wanna start, plzz = (
Love the new theme. I wish people would stop complaining. Instead, we should be asking for a God of War III theme!!!!!! Or a Metal Gear Solid 4 one. Anyone remember when snake is smoking during the loading time? That would be the best theme ever! Loving the new PJM theme. It’s pretty sweet.
Super StarDust and Echochrome, will be great for this:)
Please add some free themes!! Thanks :)
$2.99 is way too much. Charge $0.99 and you will get more sales and end up making more money.
Oh, and do you guys have anything to do with the Dynamic avatars?
Gattaca is awesome

I agree… such an overlooked gem of a movie.
