The line-up for this year's LudoNarraCon has just been announced, and we're excited to finally be able to share with you all the (MANY) fun things we're doing as part of it!

  1. I'm doing a fireside chat with Meredith Gran (Perfect Tides, Octopus Pie) where we talk for an hour about all things narrative design.
  2. Abby and I are on a panel hosted by Patrick Klepek from remap about balancing the narrative directions of games with player choice. The other folks on the panel are Gareth Damian Martin (Citizen Sleeper) and Ben Gelinas (Times & Galaxy, also formerly Remedy (Control) and Bioware (ME3, DA:I))

You can find the details for these two events (and others, featuring other cool people) here: https://www.ludonarracon.com/2024-speakers

  1. AT SOME POINT yet to be decided during LNC, Abby and I will be doing a retrospective livestream where we play through both the original demo for Slay the Princess as well as the first episode of Scarlet Hollow, answering some questions and talking about our writing and design process.

LudoNarraCon runs from May 9th to May 13th, and both Slay the Princess and Scarlet Hollow will be on sale for the event! Slay the Princess is also going to be featured and we'll be bringing back the demo on Steam for a limited time only.

The Narrator will really be there looking at the single most fucked up and terrifying monster you've ever seen in your goddamn life and still be going "Oh it's just a lady in a crown, you can take her"

Pristine Cut theory:

You know how at the end of the Adversary chapter when you're about to reach Contrarian!Fury through refusing to fight, you get a list of final dialogue options that don't affect anything except the Princess's next line:

This isn't the only time we see this. The same thing happens at the end of the Witch chapter going into Thorn, where choosing one of the nicer dialogue options sends you into the next chapter with Smitten, and choosing one of the other options nets you Cheated.

My guess is the new Fury chapter expansion will have Adversary -> Fury work in the same way. Some of the existing dialogue options really don't seem like Contrarian's style.

i cant see if youve answered this before, but. the flowers in the thorn route, are they any specific flowers or just random red flowers? asking because they look like poppies but im probably mistaken.

They're poppies!
