Hi, so, not really sure what rules if any @[email protected] has in mind for this community. But just delete this thread if it’s against them, no worries.

With that out of the way, I thought it might be fun for us all to share a bit about our current project(s), along with anywhere people can find devlogs or demos or whatever else.

Sounds like a typical self-promo thread? Maybe. And maybe that’s not allowed. But I have no horse in this race, my only “game” is currently a very janky prototype and my devlog channel exists only in my mind.

I can’t get enough of other people’s devlogs and love to discover new interesting sounding projects, so here we are lol.

Wotcha making?

    Thanks for making the thread!

    I’ve been working on a story-driven game inspired by stuff like Naissancee and Event[0]. The idea is that instead of reading stuff like log entries and emails directly, you have to talk to characters that interpret them for you. They might add their interpretation, or twist the truth a bit.

    I don’t want to spoil anything but the plot involves the sort of end point for humanity. There are themes of existentialism and what the ultimate end goal for humanity is.

    I made a couple devlogs about it. (And a discord server)

      Totally spent the first couple mins of that first devlog thinking “that sounds like Outer Wilds”, and then BAM! 😄

      Seriously though this is a really cool concept. Off to watch the other video and teaser trailer now!

        Thanks! Outer wilds is probably my favorite game, with the dlc being a close second. It’s probably obvious but I’m a huge fan of games that find interesting ways to blend gameplay and narrative, and those games are basically the pinnacle of that.

          Absolutely incredible game, probably my second of all time after Link to the Past. So now in this thread we have games at least partially inspired by my top two…will be watching progress with great interest lol
