In celebration of becoming a finalist at the New Zealand Games Festival 2021 we are giving something special back to the community.

15BiT will be broadcasting an exclusive live stream on Steam with the lead developer "Dean Thomson" and musical composers "Aaron Mistermyr Silva" and "Tommy Embryonic Gilbert" as we discuss the process of composing the soundtrack for 15BiT's upcoming adventure "Road to Nowhere".

15BiT will be discussing how they create the interactive, dynamic music system that creates a unique soundtrack for the player depending on their actions and story beats on screen. The developers/musicians will go into detail about the technical elements of the backend of interactive systems in the game, alongside the music software and instruments that Mistermyr and Embryonic to create the aural atmosphere.

In further discussions, we will talk about our musical influences and they have influenced the soundtrack, and how they have adapted traditionalist music composition to an interactive medium. This is also a perfect opportunity to ask us any questions regarding "Road to Nowhere", game development, or anything you like really regarding the project.

Should be a fun evening/afternoon/morning.

Regards,

Dean Thomson

Tommy ''Embryonic'' Gilbert hails from Montreal, Canada, and has been playing and composing music for over fifteen years.



Though primarily a metal guitarist (and thus 127% cooler than your average human), his newfound love of electronica and ambient music steered him directly into 15BiT GAMES line of sight. Though new to the scene, his propensity for creating a weird, dreamy synth with a progressive touch made him a shoo-in for Road To Nowhere.

To him, every song is a story, and we couldnt agree more.

His hobbies include wind-surfing, cave-diving, and objective surrealism actually, that may not be true. We simply dont know. Embryonic is a Man of Mystery, and we like him that way.

15BiT Games are DELIGHTED to announce that Road to Nowhere has been announced as a finalist for The Guest Plate award at [b]the Pav Awards which is being held at the New Zealand Game Festival 2021.[/b]



The Guest Plate award is available to Australian-made games and excludes any games that are eligible for the other Pav Awards.

This amazing event is sponsored by the likes of Weta Workshop, Microsoft/Xbox and Epic, and we are borderline ecstatic to have gained the recognition of Wellington's premier games event.

Road to Nowhere will also be available to play in the Expo showroom and will include elements the demo does not.

(Not to mention the prospect of winning a sweet, novelty trophy...)

We'd like to humbly thank the festival for the nom, and look forward to them announcing the winners at the Pavs Award Night on April 24th, 2021.

Hi everyone,

The previous Road to Nowhere demo had the music and speech bubbles disabled by default. This issue has no been rectified - so if you have played the demo before we recommend replaying it for the full experience.

Apologies from everyone at 15BIT Games.

5BiT GAMES will be breaking out the holiday sweetmeats for a warm display of (generically) festive cheer, including live streaming of the newly updated Road To Nowhere demo, Q&A, egg-races, talking about exciting new projects, eldritch chanting and much, much more.

Join Dean (Head-honcho), Dave (Man of Words) and Dani (Streaming PR Cyborg) and watch us celebrate everything Steam Autumn Festival.

Ladies and gentlemen, please refrain yourself from swooning as we welcome the great Rupert Booth to the cast of our upcoming full motion video based game Road to Nowhere!

A beloved FMV actor who already has three FMV games under his belt (Contradiction, The Shapeshifting Detective, The Dark Side of the Moon), he will lend his audiobook-quality voice to the character of Cohles unseen psychologist, which the player will meet several times during the course of the game.

Mad that you will not get to see his lovely mug in the game? Well do not despair, as we might just have one more surprise in store for all the Rupert Booth fans out there. Stay tuned for more information on this new character and some snippets of Rupert's character voice work!

Good morning everyone! With all the amazing progress we have made on our game in the last few weeks, we felt that it was time to update the Road to Nowhere demo so it is up to our usual standards of quality.

In that spirit, we worked tirelessly to bring you the following improvements: overhauled UI, bug fixes, improved shadow and lighting and added content. You can try out all these great changes right now by downloading the demo right here on Steam!

15BiT GAMES is very happy to announce that the amazing Anarosa Butler joins the stellar cast of its upcoming game, Road to Nowhere!

A veteran of three FMV games (Contradiction, The Shapeshifting Detective, The Dark Side of the Moon), she will play the character of Bobbie Ruskin, a motel clerk who hates herself, sometimes, but who does so with panache. A literal genius from a family of far more successful geniuses she hides her considerable intellect behind a wall of apathy, an obsession with retro gaming and unhealthy doses of celebrity gossip. She also, desperately, needs a vacation.

Between serving approximately seven clients per week at the local motel and caring for a litany of rescue animals, she can be found online wearing a Lucha Libre mask as she live-streams classic releases. Its called Bobbie Wrestles The Past. Its as terrible as it sounds. Like and subscribe?

Stay tuned for more information about this new character and Anarosas involvement in "Road to Nowhere".

We are proud to announce a new update to the "Road To Nowhere" demo which includes:

• Speech Bubbles during conversation.
  
• A secret addition to the introduction.
