Today on Devtalk! 🎮 The power of a narrative game is the narration… but what if the protagonist barely speaks? Sometimes silence tells the loudest story. 👁️✨ @autoscopia.bsky.social #NarrativeGames #GameDev #Storytelling #IndieGame #GamingCommunity #InteractiveStory #VideoGames

Excited to visit Vienna next week and talk about how we made As Long As You’re Here! 🙌🇦🇹 Spoilers: it took a LOT of iteration, and honing our skills and gut feeling over 7(!) years 🫣

Treeplanter is OUT NOW! 🌲Cozy sandbox builder 🌲No goals - just make pretty woodland scenes 🌲Choose the season and time of day 🌲Watch creatures move in I plant a tree for every copy sold - so you restore REAL nature too!

When you put out a game in the world, and it becomes someone’s favourite game ever… …but they still click the refund button. Maybe just a case of someone processing a loss, while also being broke. Sometimes I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry, but, I get it. ❤️‍🩹 #aslongasyourehere #indiegames

Hi I'm Pierre Corbinais, I'm a veteran game writer and narrative designer and I'll be looking for freelance work starting September. I love writing dialogues that make you laugh, cry or both in the same time. Pass the word! pierrecorbinais.com

Finally allowing myself to model just for fun, so I made this today 😌🍜 It's fun to see how much I've learned over the years through making all of the art for 'As Long As You're Here'! Now the question is... Cooking game next? 👩🏻‍🍳

Appreciated a couple of little moments like these. They're good at capturing the most important sentiments of both positions she's been as the one receiving care and the caretaker.

Played through As Long As You're Here in a sitting and loved it. Really thoughtful approach to portraying a sense of time and place through the perspective of a woman with Alzheimer's disease who also spent much of her life as a caretaker.

A beautiful article about our game about Alzheimer's in national German newspaper, @zeit.de (!) ♥️ About how games can show you a new perspective, and how our personal stories inspired moments in the game, all while helping us heal ❤️‍🩹 Now all I dream of is a review in @theguardian.com 🥹🤞
