p>The Beano's Dennis, Gnasher and Walter join Minecraft By Emily Thomas Newsbeat reporter

/p>

p>Minecraft players need to watch out for "softy" Walter and his stinky pants.

/p>

p>You can now add Walter, Dennis, the Menace, and Gnasher from The Beano to the PC version of the game.

/p>

p>Gnasher can be transformed into an ointment by players and all of Dennis' pranks, such as catapults and stink bombs, can be used.

/p>

p>It's part of the Beano's bigger plans to expand into digital, and its game has been born from a partnership between the animated series and Frima Studios, a Canadian multiplatform game developer.

/p>

p>Mark Cotton, who is responsible for digital transformations at Beano, told Newsbeat that Minecraft is "their most fervent passion and their most passionate love"

/p>

p>Mark says that the game is an "extension" of The Beano comic and an attempt to make The Beano "a more overall experience" for kids.

/p>

p>He states that 32,000 comics are sold each week of the Beano which is an acceptable number. https://huliypin.com/ </p>

p>But it's far fewer than the two million copies sold at the height of the magazine's popularity.

/p>

p>Mark says, "We are very conscious that today's kids have a passion about digital."

/p>

p>"We must create The Beano a 360 brand that is where Dennis and Gnasher are everywhere the kids are, rather than waiting for them to visit our store.

/p>

p>"So we're currently working on a variety of initiatives over the next three to six months."

/p>

p>There are puzzle apps, interactive comics, and an "action 3-D game for kids".

/p>

p>The Beano's publisher DC Thompson has already extended the brand to a TV show, a photo sharing app and YouTube channel.

/p>

p>Grand Theft Auto?

/p>

p>The comic's been around since 1938 and has a lot of adult fans. It's possible that the Beano characters appear in any adult games - Dennis the Menace in Grand Theft Auto perhaps?

/p>

p>"No. Mark says, "No.

/p>

p>"We're focusing on the 7 to 11-year-old digital product - for the moment, digital is about engaging with children and knowing their interests."

/p>

p>They've been working with 10 Minecraft and Beano fans aged 7-11 during the development process.

/p>

p>Minnie the Minx

/p>

p>"We basically asked kids"If you could put Beano into Minecraft, what do you think you would see?

/p>

p>"This was the beginning of what they envisioned. Obviously their imaginations are much greater than we can possibly do at the moment.

/p>

p>"But they wanted Pranks, they wanted Walter They wanted Gnasher They wanted to dress up as Dennis, and that's what we've offered them.

/p>

p>"We'll continue to talk to them. We'd like to expand this and build Beanotown so that children can be creative.

/p>

p>"Minecraft is so well-known because it gives children the power. We can't force the children to do something, and they'd resent it.

/p>

p>Are there any other characters you could be allowed in?

/p>

p>Mark says, "We certainly want to extend it."

/p>

p>"The obvious character and the one the kids have been asking for is Minnie the Minx so that's what we'd likely look at next."
