Howdy, folks!  I'm here to present a new project, on behalf of myself and Solifuge--Victory Garden Games, our indie game dev team.

We're just starting out so we don't have too much to show yet, but we wanted to kick things off by letting Bay12 know about our project before anyone else.  Our hope is to make narrative-driven games with a warm, if occasionally horrifying, mood, driven by well-balanced and novel mechanics.  As far as creative influences go, Daisuke Amaya, Hideo Kojima, and Victor Hugo are pretty popular around here.  We're going to mix the best of East and West to make compelling stories that mesh with the underlying gameplay, as they fucking ought to.

For some examples of other work we've done separately, Solifuge helped implement the DF tileset Stonesense and ran a game called Blunderbuss; for an example of my writing, I'll direct you to my most recently completed Mafia game and an extremely snobby essay on Pacific Rim.

So far, we have Solifuge tackling graphics and gameplay design, and myself on writing and design.  The awesomely talented MagmaMcFry is programming our engine, and we're working with an accomplished sound engineer.  However, we're still looking for character designers and portrait artists; and, for select projects, we'll need voice actors and possibly animators or additional programmers as well.  Translators always welcome!  Please do feel free to refer talent to us if this sounds like you or if you know anyone else who might enjoy working with us!

We're posting project details here and developing a small game for mobile devices (codename: "Flower Chess"), but don't be a wallflower--come visit our shiny dev blog, where we're introducing members of our team!

Posting to watch.

narrative-driven games

Okay yeah I was about 99% sold until there

now I'm 150% sold

I like narrative driven games because unlike sandboxes they usually tend to actually go somewhere.

So uh, posting, and probably watching from time to time.

[Gamerlord]

This will either go horribly or brilliantly. Either way I'll stick around to watch.

Ooooh. PTW.

Wish I had something to offer but my programming is at a minimal level :/ I'd happily give my advice for free though (note: Any advice given comes from nowhere in particular and should be taken with a few bucketfuls of salt. Though I'd like to think I'm decent at design.)

[Cheeetar]

Whoah. Consider me incredibly interested in what sort of things this team pulls off.

[RedWarrior0]

I'm going to post to watch.

Posted this in another thread when you first mentioned this, but I'd be up for helping with writing, editing and/or programming. Not sure what you guys would be using in the programming department, though. Do you know what engine you'll be using, or are you planning to build one from the ground up (which I'm suspecting given "engine programmer")? Also, voice acting.

[Seriyu]

Heyyy, good on you! Always good to see more B12 projects. Now be sure to keep it moving and don't let it fall apart!

[Gentlefish]

Watching. I loved Soli's suggestion game and you're both great writers

I can't wait for anything.

Srsly. Something. _{Not really love you}

I had sort of noticed you two had been a bit scarce on the forums recently. Glad to know it was because you've been working on something wonderful. PTW
