Newsletter #40 Mars 2024


Hey, people! We have some news for you guys! Hope you had a good day.

What weve been up to?


After spending time giving some love to both Echoes and End of Lines, we were able to go back to work on our (still unannounced) next game. We're very excited to see it come together, with an Alpha version almost completed. Following our latest update, the new demo of End of Lines has been downloaded more than 1,000 times. However, we are ten positive reviews short of the 50 we need to be more visible in the Steam store. So, if you have played End of Lines and enjoyed the game, dont hesitate to leave a review! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1658960/End_of_Lines/ Were thrilled to announce that a demo for Echoes is out! We wanted to give players a chance to experience the game and bring more attention to this project. The demo features the entire first episode (out of five), allowing you to dive into the world of Echoes and get a feel for the story, gameplay, and atmosphere. Best of all, if you decide to continue your journey after playing the demo, your progress will be saved, so you can pick up right where you left off in the full game. Thanks to the demo, we are already starting to see a little more traction toward it. Almost 1000 downloads! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1775220/Echoes/

Ask the Devs!


In this section, we answer your most frequently asked questions about our games, development process, and upcoming projects. Have something youd like to ask? Send us your questions on Discord, and we might feature them in the next newsletter. I would like to know what were your inspirations for Along the Edge story? Geoffroy mentioned in the web page that he was raised in France, rural country. [quote]Well theres a lot to say about that. Along the Edge was the first story I created on my own and I didnt know if I would have the privilge of writing more, so I stuffed a lot of the things I loved in there. I guess the main thing is that when we started working on this project, I was 36 years old and it was becoming more and more probable that I wouldnt have kids. The idea of transmission, heritage and what we leave behind when you dont have children was something that was on my mind a lot at this point in my life. Along the Edge helped me explore that. I also wanted to make a classic fantastique story. We have this sub-genre of literature in France, which is neither fantasy nor horror, but something in between, I never knew how to translate it accurately in English. It dates back to the 19th century. The main theme is that you have an unreliable narrator who experiences strange events, but you never know if there really was something supernatural going on or if its just the imagination of the narrator at work. It gave us an interesting way to frame the choices in the game, letting the player decide whether Daphn believes in the supernatural or not at all. I could talk at length about all of this, I hope this quick answer satisfies your curiosity. For the second part of your question, well, I indeed come from a very rural area in the center of France, la Creuse, which I am very attached to and thats not very well known, even in France. In fact, its one of the places that gets mentioned when a fellow French person needs an euphemism to say the middle of nowhere. That was the perfect setting for the story we wanted to tell, so I went there and took a lot of reference pictures for Nico. If you want a fun fact, the setting is never named directly in Along the Edge itself, but if you make the right choices in Across the Grooves, Frank tells Alice that Daphn is in fact in Creuse.[/quote] And how long does it take for Nico to create a drawing? [quote]Thank you for your questions. This is an easy one though: it depends! I think the fastest one took me 15 minutes and the longest ones would take me a full week to polish. Of course, thats extreme examples, most of the time I can safely rely on 3 pictures/day on average during the game production (that is when Im done with concept arts, research and references collection). Fun fact: the longest one was probably a key art for Seers Isle that we didnt use in the end because it was not good enough. Somehow, spending more time on a picture does not always make it better.[/quote] That's all for now!

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 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.
