Celebrating the Choose Wisely Festival with a Developer Interview
Wow, we've made it! Our very first announcement... and for such a special event at that!We're elated to share that State of Presence will be participating in the Choose Wisely Festival! This event is a celebration of games with branching narratives, where your decisions impact how the story unfolds.With our game still being under development, it's an absolute honor to appear alongside the amazing titles featured in this event. If you haven't yet, we strongly encourage checking out all there is to see!We'd also like to take a moment to highlight our latest promotional artwork from drawnbymabel! To match the casual feel of the gameplay, we asked for a concept that'd mimic the idea of a candid photo: Kacper looking around the city environment that he now has to adjust to.She came back with a few gorgeous sketches, and out of them, coming out of the De Laat Café & Bakery with a coffee in hand felt like the most appropriate representation of our game. Part of why, like the location, might be obvious if you've read up on the title's features. How it correlates to the story, on the other hand, will reveal itself with time.Moving on to our own contribution to the festival, we decided to write a new Column for our website about interactive narratives. In it, we covered the basics of how choice-based games work, what the Choose Wisely Festival is, how it applies to State of Presence, and our own experiences with working on a narrative-heavy game. If you'd like some insight on our game development process, we promise it's worth a read!That's all for now! Thank you for taking the time to go through our update. We appreciate all of the support we've received so far!We'll leave you with this adorable bonus doodle from drawnbymabel! Now go enjoy the festival, have fun browsing through the catalogue, and remember to support small indie developers!Read full article on Community Announcements (Harmony Frontiers)
