Post news Report RSS Telling our story in Space Tales

Hello IndieDB! Today we'd like to tell you a bit more about how we want to tell our story in Space Tales. We are big fans of retro-gaming, 90s sci-fi movies, old school cartoons, etc... and it was a no brainer for us that our game would have to reflect our passion for this.

Telling a story in video games is very different than telling a story in another media. In a game, the player is the hero and is very much active in how the story unfolds - unlike when you watch a movie or read a book.

The story in our game will be told via dialogues between the characters, as we have shown before in this screenshot:

We like this "comic book approach", it gives a retro feeling that we love but we won't stop at just some bubbles ingame :)

All the missions in our game will also be illustrated with comic book covers. Each mission will be like a chapter of a book - and here as well, we want to make them in a retro style!

We would love to show you two examples below, for the first two missions:

What do you think ?

Our most iconic heroes will also have a comic book illustrations, like our Nurse:

We're working very hard to make a cool game with a unique story, we hope you'll like it!

In the meantime, why don't you follow us on twitter to get the latest updates about our game ? And look, we also make *hilarious* jokes sometimes:

See you soon!
