The Evolution of Roller Drama's Mechanics

Roller Drama development is in its final phase, and now we have a gameplay trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMFdQrT8Zbw Since 2020 we have kept evolving the game in its narrative and sports mechanics, starting from very rough prototypes:
Roller Derby like matches went from strategy to real-time to how they are now, a mix of real-time actions and time paused strategy choices:

We had a chess-like management of mind states:
that has been turned into a full immersion in your team's lives and situations that you have to deal with interactively.
The adventure part mixes comedic and messy life situations that you have to solve with point-and-click puzzles and interactive fiction with dialogues and interactions filled with choices.
The narrative design too has been evolving, moving from a visual novel style to a more characteristic one. What is crucial is the interaction between evolving plot and match management; the integration has been thickening in time by creating bridge elements such as "special cards" that can be used in matches and in having a "pep talk" puzzle between "jams" (a three minute period of continuous match play).
About one thing we are quite sure: this is still a unique game! steammocking

  • A SITCOM?!?


    In Roller Drama, you (Joan) live with & coach five kickass athletes: Anne, Portia, Lily, Cordelia, and Juliet. Together they form a top Roller Derby team, a full contact sport on quad skates!



    Your job is to act as a keeper of the team, managing both their personal and professional lives. Try to balance everyone’s emotions as they navigate rivalries, friendships, and love.

    REAL-TIME FULL-CONTACT SPORT!


    While personal dramas rage on, you’ll also need to manage Roller Derby matches in real time! Plan strategies, give orders, and manage the match using arcade-inspired controls.

    SURVEILLANCE


    Roller Drama is set in a dystopian alternative world where things are going… slightly worse than they are here. Political and environmental upheavals interfere with daily life.
