Newsletter #36 October 2024
Hi everyone, Im the new intern at Nova-Box! My name is Ophlie, and I will be the one writing to you from now on. I'm thrilled to be joining the team and bringing something new to our communications. Youll be seeing more of me around the New Year!
So whats happening with End of Lines? The avid readers of our newsletters are already aware of the challenges we've faced putting our game out there, in the public eye. Well, Nico and the team are putting together some brand-new content for you guys! I cant reveal any details just yet, but you can expect more information around December/January. Weve also decided to reopen our demo in the coming months. Steam seems to boost games with demos through its algorithm, and we're hoping it will have a similar effect on our game. If you play it, you'll be able to save your progress for the final version of End of Lines! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1658960/End_of_Lines/
The start of the autumn term means welcome back to our co-working space in Bordeaux. We were thrilled to catch up with our friends from other studios after some well-deserved reconnecting with Mother Nature. As you can imagine, when were not taking care of our one-year-old baby (End of Lines), were in full creation mode with our next game or we're attending events.
Our writer, Geoffroy, was invited to participate in a roundtable discussion on how to manage the transition between different projects at HORIZON(S), a two-day event for game industry decision-makers. He was with Sabrina Alessandri of Tower Five from La Rochelle and David Duriot of LA POULE NOIRE from Angoulme. Now the question is, how does this relate to our studio? Well, you see, we have two creative directors, Geoffroy and Nico, who switch roles for each new project. For instance, Nico served as the creative director for End of Lines, while Geoffroy is currently leading our new project. This means we have shorter waiting times between productions, allowing for a smoother transition and providing our studio with greater artistic diversity.
To Hell With the Ugly is a point-and-click adventure game based on the novel of the same name by Boris Vian. You play Rock Bailey, a young man who's strikingly handsome and rather shallow, who gets kidnapped after leaving a jazz club. Navigate through bar brawls and a police investigation to assist Rocky https://store.steampowered.com/app/1455450/To_Hell_With_The_Ugly/
Empire of the Ants set out on an epic adventure into the microscopic world in this photorealistic strategy game. Play as a brave ant and lead your colony through the perils of the forest and its diverse wildlife. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2287330/Empire_of_the_Ants/
Hey, if you're on our socials, you might have seen that we were in the alumni section of the Six One Indie Showcase! We thank them again for that selection.

Story
End of Lines is an interactive graphic novel, set in the near future. Following a climate-induced apocalypse, a group of survivors centered around a small family wanders in the devastated countryside of Southern Europe, looking for a livable place to settle.
A well-researched, environmental tale that acts as a warning about climate inaction and the collapse of ecosystems.
The sky is red. Or is it?
The air’s so hot it feels red.
When did it stop being blue?
A battered old paper with words I can’t read
and lines that fade and melt across the tears and folds.
Lines that guide us towards hope.
The hope of a welcoming land.
And yet, we don’t know what we’ll find beyond the map.
Where the lines end.
Features
- Each choice matters: manage the supplies and the morale of your group in a ruthless environment where death may be encountered at any time.
- A poignant vision of what may lie ahead: the story is set at the end of the 21st century, in a world where nothing has been done to counteract climate change.
- A family unit at the core: follow Camille, Nora, their son Sam, the lively “Uncle” Rafik and the diverse cast of characters they befriend on the trail.
- A beautifully illustrated storybook: with each playthrough, experience a novel-sized adventure and a portion of the hundreds of hand-painted illustrations created for the game.
- An immersive and finely-crafted soundtrack.
