The line-up for this year's LudoNarraCon has just been announced, and we're excited to finally be able to share with you all the (MANY) fun things we're doing as part of it!
I'm doing a fireside chat with Meredith Gran (Perfect Tides, Octopus Pie) where we talk for an hour about all things narrative design.
Abby and I are on a panel hosted by Patrick Klepek from remap about balancing the narrative directions of games with player choice. The other folks on the panel are Gareth Damian Martin (Citizen Sleeper) and Ben Gelinas (Times & Galaxy, also formerly Remedy (Control) and Bioware (ME3, DA:I))
You can find the details for these two events (and others, featuring other cool people) here: https://www.ludonarracon.com/2024-speakers
AT SOME POINT yet to be decided during LNC, Abby and I will be doing a retrospective livestream where we play through both the original demo for Slay the Princess as well as the first episode of Scarlet Hollow, answering some questions and talking about our writing and design process.
LudoNarraCon runs from May 9th to May 13th, and both Slay the Princess and Scarlet Hollow will be on sale for the event! Slay the Princess is also going to be featured and we'll be bringing back the demo on Steam for a limited time only.
Fun fact, the main character doesn`t actually carry any weapon. She analyzes the weapons of strong opponents (mid-bosses), copies their designs, and shapeshifts into them.
This allows her to always be scaled to the strength of her enemies, no matter their level of tech. Very efficient.

Anyway, here is your weekly reminder to follow the game on Gamejolt
Only 4 more until i post a character sheet of the main baddie.
My game Approaches just reached 5k downloads on Itch. I'm really happy with how this game turned out and am glad so many people gave this short little horror game a chance. Quite a few people did get hung up on the "puzzle", though, heh

XYZ. The classics. Cant beat them. Core of the whole thing. W. Scary. Mysterious. We know what it does, but how does it do it? Best not to worry. Trust in it. RGB. Underdogs. Tap into their power when you feel like carrying a bright torch into a dark cavern. UV. Necessary but not beloved. Mid. By their powers combined, he is...
Sneak peak of the Turpentine game map(LP) menu, Maestro's Tablet( aka the navigation) :))))))!!!!! The backgrounds change based on seasons!), the quick menu, and a very very early wip of the aquarium. I don't think I ever mentioned this, but through different routes, you'll be able to encounter different fish here and learn about their habitats!
