Hello everyone! Let's talk about some nice events we've attended and the yearly Black Friday stuff.

Black Friday / Autumn Sales

Firstly, all Nova-box games will be on sale on Steam from November 21 to 28! If you want to complete your collection, you can opt for the bundle for an extra 10% off plus the sale discount. The games you already own will be deducted from the price. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15195/Novabox_Collection/

Hypermondes

We attended the Hypermonde literary festival at Mrignac last month. Nova-box's text-based narrative games are always in the spotlight there and we appreciate this extraordinary opportunity to meet and greet numerous authors from all over the world. Amongst my little discoveries this year, I was able to get dedicated copies of:

• Le Premier jour de paix by Elisa Beiram. An excellent futuristic novel. Its a bit like End of Lines but with some brighter sides (warning: with no interactivity, you're in for an incredible rollercoaster ride).
• L'Empire s'effondre by Sbastien Coville. The "speculative fiction" genre is known to often present insightful, sometimes disturbing, reflections of reality. I particularly appreciate the intelligence and accessibility of this one.

As always, many thanks to Fabrice Carr and the team for this event, we had a excellent time again this year!

Game Conf

We were also present at the Game Conf in Angoulme, where we were able to meet many other independent game developers and attend the Game Cup 2023.
We had the pleasure of running into a number of people from the indie scene, including Modiiie, who had done a series of live plays of our games in French. Many thanks to her.

Julien's Album

Julien Ponsoda, musician and composer from Illustrason, with whom we are blessed to work on all our productions, has just released a new album! You can discover his work here: https://julien-ponsoda.fanlink.to/my-favorite-things"

What have we been up to?

While we continue to make progress on Nova-box's next narrative projects, I (Nico) am doing some illustrations for the fabulous project from our neighbors and friends at Manufacture43: City Ambulance: Rescue Express (C.A.R.E). In particular, I worked on the portraits of the main protagonists: Jakub & Mishra.

And in the meantime, Seers Isle, Along the Edge, and Across the Grooves and End of Lines are available here on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15195/Novabox_Collection/ If you want to subscribe to our mailing list, you can register here: http://www.nova-box.com/signup You'll get extra-fresh updates about our projects and our whereabouts once a month, nestled in the coziness of your own inbox (we'll never send spam, and you can unsubscribe anytime).
