So, I’m developing a narrative point-and-click video game. I’ve called it a “point-and-click littéraire” because I want the text to have a literary quality. This might sound silly and pretentious, but it’s a real goal for me. In the meantime, here’s a group of people I’ve drawn.

Perhaps that's what we do when we put on a game from our childhood, and why remakes of arguably mediocre games are so successful. We're being sold an illusion, the same one which shatters at the end of the masterpiece from Kitano just when you might think it is at reach.

We've recently rewatched "Sonatine" (Kitano Takeshi, 1993), where men used, and consumed, to violence suddenly find themselves in a different context. So they start to play, making jokes, enjoying their time, almost trying to grasp something which was taken from them. >continues

@tailgategame @fricodev True :)

@fricodev @loopigalle Honestly, this whole conversation already feels weird. Anyway, good luck with your game, whatever it is.

I'm about to release my first Steam game. It looks messy and incomplete and I'm starting to think it will flop hard. So far: - I'm not sure how to tag the game - I'm not sure how to make a good capsule - I'm not sure how much charge for it #gamedev #indiedev #steam

@fricodev @tailgategame A mystery story driven? It’s worth $99. Incremental? -$99. So price it at $0. Thanks.

@loopigalle @tailgategame I'm almost there (85% dev complete). Ofc there are things to polish. My problem is in how much charge for this game (incremental+idle+mystery+story driven) as I think its a weird combination of sub genres and a very niche game.

@fricodev @tailgategame Your game will certainly be worth playing, but I honestly wonder what the point is in releasing a game that you say is incomplete.

@tailgategame That's fair. BUT! It's just one month and a few days since I started development. My idea was to release the best game I can within a 2 month time box. So now I wonder what is the best strat in this case.

@PATALOON Joyeux anniversaire, j’ai vraiment adoré Threshold.

I know I need to make another game to stop bothering you with that one. store.steampowered.com/app/2580020/TH… But it's my birthday so cope a little more please.

That wall is an infininmbolic space, something the game calls a Fragment-Space. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ

立入禁止 - No entry, says the sign. Prohibitions outlive their authors. This is, I think, the most honest definition of architecture. I've been trespassing here for a few days now, in Photoshop. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelartㅤㅤㅤㅤ

@biondimariano1 Ho riso.

We loved Pentiment so much Luca didn't think twice before deciding to go for a granular dialogue sound system for EGG. The game we're developing is fairly different from Pentiment, but you can always find ideas and inspiration from great games such as this one. #indiegame

Finally, a disco-like set in the Vampire: The Masquerade universe. Yes.

You guys do not understand how fucking excited I am. After the absolute shitshow that was Bloodlines 2, we're finally getting a proper Vampire: The Masquerade CRPG. I genuinely couldn't believe my eyes. An in-depth CRPG, in the vein of Disco Elysium, set in the World of Darkness? Take my fucking money. Right. Now.

Werner Herzog’s Lessons of Darkness was a life changing experience

FUMITO UEDA YOU CAN HAVE MY FIRST BORN

@LazyDevNL Hi, nice to meet you!

Let’s grow together!♥️ I Would love to connect with other devs, visual artists, pixel artists, composers & sound designers. I'm following everyone back!🔗 Drop what you’re working on or just say hi below👇 #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity #gamedev #IndieArtist #GameComposer #PixelArt

I decided "literary point and click" is a genre. I also decided I'm making one. Both claims are unverified.

@bartonovopolis "Cultural elements" lol

Stuff like this makes me wonder how culturally out of date certain elements of GTA VI will feel with how long it’s been in development

What do you think of this style for a point-and-click indie game?
