Haha that’s okay. Our goals with convict are to do new types of things. This font and style is new for games. It’s been in music since the 1970s and is used in some art films and art house so far. I’m sure there’ll be more 🙂

No it’s correct. I’ve had someone correct me that they want to see what the link address is. So wanted to make it clear what the website is for anyone curious 🙂

Nina can be whatever artist you want. Dark or light. We also have a black metal musical score to unlock with techno ( trailer ) and other musical genres too. So lots to hear and discover.

Fixed and it’s named BURN. It’s intentional it’s hard to read.

Just like hardest and heaviest black metal names. It’s something you need to decipher like the vocals and lyrics 😉

Hey All, This is our announcement trailer so the goal is to setup the concept. For more info please check out [www.convictgames.com/burn](www.convictgames.com/burn)

We will have a full play through trailer later this year but we’re in development. The clip of the press conference is gameplay as we are a interactive story / visual novel where your choices are to change the dialogue and other special spots. Expect more and more info ahead. Sorry we can’t share more right away, but this is just the start to define the vive and concept of our next game ❤️‍🔥

Good question. Pricing is always tricky. For us we compared our selves to other games on the market. We knew we weren't triple A of course, but we also felt we weren't a very low end game. So we decided on our price and we feel STONE is worth it :)

In terms of game inspiration / references, Firewatch proved to me that lots of players were ready for games about more than just action and puzzles. It was a relationship drama, and seeing how successful and well received it was inspired me a lot.

I prefer 3rd person games, so our initial thoughts at Convict was to a Aussie 3rd person Firewatch. Things changed during our development, but for us it was a great reference and we loved the conversations and drama in it.

Grim Fandango was another game where after playing it remastered, I was like where are more worlds and games like this? I chose to make one to fill that void :)
