Geoffroy Vincens

Hello to you, dear bsky friends, I'm a writer and a musician. I work at Nova-box, a tiny independent video game studio based in Bordeaux, France. We make interactive graphic novels, such as Across the Grooves, Seers Isle, or End of Lines. More details on our website: www.nova-box.com

in the midst of all those new games, I wanna take the time to shine a light on ✨ After the Wane ✨, by indie french studio @nova-box.com it's a narrative game with gorgeous 2D art that surely deserves your wishlist & more when it releases november 10 store.steampowered.com/app/2742720/...

Urgent recherche temoignages pour l Humanité Magazine. Pour le #5novembre, vous travaillez dans le privé, vous aimeriez faire grève mais vous ne savez pas comment faire. Racontez nous @cgt.fr @cfdt.fr @solidaires93.bsky.social @humanite.fr

Had the pleasure of covering #GamesThatAceIt on Steam this week! Please check out my article below if you'd like to learn about some of the fun and accessible games featured at the festival by @kinmoku.bsky.social, @spiralatlas.itch.io, @kiminako.bsky.social, @ryan-honig.com, @nova-box.com, & more!

We’ve been at Stunfest in Rennes (France) since Friday to showcase After the Wane as its release draws near! Over 80 players got their hands on the game this weekend. A huge thank you to everyone for the incredible feedback! 🩷🩷🩷 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev 🎮

C'est gravissime.

People across the world are rioting & protesting against the rise of fascism, tech oligarchs and imperialism. It's a global battle, our WW3. But we Brazilians are very lucky, we fight alongside an old titan that's on the level of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Ghandi, etc

C'est un outil de mobilisation parmi d'autres, mais n'hésitez pas à signer, relayer, auprès de votre entourage (majeur), dans les boucles de messagerie etc. On n'en est plus aux concertations, il faut des actes, rapides. petitions.assemblee-nationale.fr/initiatives/...

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

I had the opportunity of answering a few questions from Rose at @probablyagame.bsky.social You can read the interview following the link here below.

Dans le cadre d’une investigation vidéo, @mediapart.fr a besoin de vos images ! Merci :)

Very sad to see BioWare being the last casualty of this strange sequence of event where we've witnessing so many historic studios being liquidated. The Dragon Age series always had a soft spot in heart.

Bonjour ! Je serai à la PGW à partir d'aujourd'hui pour le calendrier des jeux français, Indie 500 et pour une conférence samedi sur la conservation animale par le jeu vidéo. Au plaisir de vous y (re)voir !

Petit rappel important dans la confusion généralisée.

Working with dancers was definitely one of the highlights of this project. Each time we came up with an idea, an intention for a scene, they always made it theirs, delivering a performance both completely on point and surprisingly evocative, filled to the brim with their own sensibility.

🦋Last chance to get the -10% LAUNCH DISCOUND on The Doll Shop! 🦋 It's the perfect game for Halloween! 🎃 >> store.steampowered.com/app/3851680/... #thedollshop #horrorgame #indiegame #visualnovel #cozyhorror #インディーゲーム #ホラーゲーム #ノベルゲーム #steam #ateliersento #halloween

Looks eerily like what have to deal with in France too.

We presented our art-show performance “Circé,” a long poem that I wrote and performed, music composed and performed by Jean-Noël Godard, live-coded shaders created by @anaelseghezzi.bsky.social. It was simply incredible! Magical and absolutely spellbinding. #arts #show #poem #livecodingshader

Being part of the indie game community is really cool. We help each others and often share tips, ideas, solutions... We met @nova-box.com at our beginnings, 10 years ago. And now, we celebrate the publishing of our new games almost at the same time. 🙌 #thedollshop #afterthewayne #indiegame #gamedev

If anyone's wondering: no, we're not getting any younger. The last ten years came and went in a blow. I'm very grateful for the path traveled and looking forward to what's coming next, wishing we all make it through the old world burning while clinging on to the mad hope of better days ahead.

🟢 Lors de notre lancement, nous avions rédigé un manifeste : nos engagements et nos valeurs. On parle d'Afrique, d'impact, de diversité, d'inclusion. Il évoluera au fil du temps. D'ici là, faites-nous vos retours. 👇

Or, as Alex Blechman coined it: "I've just created the torment nexus from the beloved classic novel 'Don't Create the Torment Nexus'" (any tech CEO in recent memory).

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc

C'est maintenant !✨

Il m’a intrigué pour sa direction artistique radicale, je suis restée pour son game design intelligent ! Très heureuse de vous annoncer la parution prochaine de "Chants of Sennaar : Mémoires d’une cité en métal hurlant". Mon nouveau livre making of consacré à la pépite toulousaine de #Rundisc 🥳
