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.

I recently got into the horror visual novel Scarlet Hollow by Black Tabby Games and it's sO good!! Abby Howard's visuals and characters have my whole heart. These are my faves from the roster and my player character, Jude, in the middle. she's better at talking to animals than people, so of course I had to draw Dustin too.

There's clearly rigor mortis on your face. Or wait... is that an *expression*? Are you trying to make an expression with that face?

[misledmiseries]

me: I'm a homebody i like to stay at home!

the home: 

muddles my perception of time

Changes in both size and distance

lulls me into sense of safety and twist it into an oppressive paranoia inducing hellouse-scape

compels me to forget my own autonomous existence 

waters down the outside and/ or exaggerate it to mythical extent 

shrinks front door perron when i ascend, jarringly draws it out when i descend.

all its windows views are other walls of itself

the backyard fence looms in every horizon

bitter to abandonment of what belongs under its roof, including me when i go out to buy some good ol orange fanta

 doesn’t look for me under its roof, it always knows where I'm.

when it sleeps doors never open, i don’t know it’s sleeping schedule

whatever happens silently around the corners is real, my apprehension is valid and understandable, and indeed i should panic.

some of scarlet hollow faves

I haven't played Scarlet Hollow yet but every time I see Tabitha all I can think is

That smile can't be real. What does it even *mean*? What is the emotion she's trying to convey?

Girlbosshood

God, I don't know, it's indescribable

I think it's supposed to look *suggestive*. I'm afraid it's meant *for the ladies*.

She's insinuating that she's vaguely sympathetic. I think she's sort of pulling it off too, in a *sad little meow-meow* kind of way. There is some charm to it.

It's an expression of pain

"abby, scarlet hollow has an unreasonable amount of art in it, what if for slay the princess the whole game takes place in one location so you only have to draw a few different backgrounds" The location:

[mephilia]

Beastie sprite study.. I like him a normal amount

[chattering-bird]

Guys. How would it feel if I told you the Player was mothman this entire time

The wings??? The ear tufts??? The glowing white eyes??? I’m becoming deranged. A conspiracy theorist. Either we’re mothman or someone in Scarlet Hollow has some explaining to do (or it’s just a coincidence but I think my theory is funnier)

[snuffysbox]

wayne scarlet hollow brainrot going strong

[scholars-art]

you're in her dms, im her good little bird. we are not the same.

Anyways play the new Slay the Princess demo if you havent yet
