Newsletter #37 November/December 2024
As you can see, I'm writing for two months in advance since I'll be returning to my uni course in November and we will be on a pause for the holiday season. So, some parts are written by me, while others are by Nico or Geoffroy. So, some parts are written by me, while others are by Nico or Geoffroy.
Our games have an Autumn sale on Steam this season. End of lines is at -50%! You have until December 4 to dive into our beloved games at special prices! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/15195/Novabox_Collection/
MORE ACTIVITY ON SOCIALS Our first New Year resolution is to be more present and active on our socials. As you can guess now that I'm here, Geoffroy and Nico will be able to concentrate on their respective works and I will be concentrating on the communication parts. PATREON Our second resolution is to create a Patreon! Through it, we want to offer you exclusive artwork, tips, behind-the-scenes stories, early access to our games, betas, and even some prints and other surprises. With Patreon, we hope to secure a little bit of funding to support some of our projects. DISCORD Our third resolution is to create a Discord for the community. We want you guys to have a safe space where you can exchange with each other and us. Its not the most urgent project, and I am like a grandmother when it comes to setting up a Discord server but everything can be learned.
Geoffroy here, taking over for our usual "what have been up to?" section. Nico and I went for a bit of a road trip last week, down to the Basque country to greet and meet Wyllia Lapouge, who's directing a danse school in Bayonne. We were able to witness a lesson of contemporary dance, and were able to a lot of take of photography and video material.If you're wondering, yes, it has very much to do with our unannounced upcoming game. This month's exclusive artwork is one of Nico's studies following our trip.
One last thing before I hand over to Ophlie and wish you happy holidays: if you've been following Nova-box for a while, you must have noticed that our remake of Echoes, released in, ahem, "semi-secret" in May, was not a great success. If by chance you own this game, thank you a thousand times, I hope you liked it. Also, I would be extremely grateful if you could take a few minutes to leave us a recommendation on this title. We are currently six short of being given a "positive" rating and that would greatly help us with the algorithm. Thank you in advance! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1775220/Echoes/ That's all for this time! The whole team wishes you a very happy holiday season. 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). Best, Ophlie, on behalf of the team.

Across the Grooves is an interactive graphic novel, set in a magical-realism universe. Your decisions affect the destiny of Alice, drastically changing her reality and allowing her to explore alternative destinies by modifying her past.
Alice lives an uneventful life. She’s in a long term relationship, has a stable office job and a nice apartment in the center of Bordeaux. One day, Ulysse, her ex-lover, comes back into her life through an old vinyl record she receives in the mail. When she puts it for a spin on turntable, she is thrown back into her own past, forced to relive old events. When she comes back to the present, her reality has changed.
Determined to bring her life back on track, Alice packs up and embarks on a hunt across Europe, following the tracks of Ulysse while trying to uncover the origins of the record. However, her journey gradually turns into a quest of self-discovery as she explores new parallel realities each time she puts the needle in the groove.
