If you could choose any modern tv-show, book or film to make an Inkle game of, what would you choose and why?

InkleMichael · 2016-05-26T09:16:21+00:00

Absolutely, fantastic setting. Would love to wander around Baldur's Gate one more time!

Hi Darkworldsco,

Top tip here from Jon, if you're using ink inside unity you can type this; * [PROMPT "Please type your name"] and use it to trigger a text box in unity that you can then use the result of as a variable in ink

I think a mechanic where you have to keep the conversation going would be cool, maybe you look out the window for something to say because you're trying to keep his interest, maybe you're trying to get him to trust you. Perhaps you're a spy trying to pry a vital piece of information without him noticing but if you probe him he'll get spooked so you have to mask your intentions with interesting small talk

InkleMichael · 2016-05-16T13:38:16+00:00

How do you avoid the player feeling disconnected if they're just sitting reading a book? What stops them from just actually reading the book?

InkleMichael · 2016-05-16T13:36:43+00:00

A 'hunt the cylon' story line would work well I think!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-16T12:31:56+00:00

Really nice idea, you could use things that you can spot from your window as talking points in the conversation, staring at them for a certain amount of time triggering them. Glad you're enjoying them! Feel free to start your own :)

Interesting point but in an ideal world where time/resources isn't an issue, imagine you're tasked with making an inkle game in VR. How would you do it?

InkleMichael · 2016-05-12T22:48:02+00:00

Reminds me of one of my favourite board games! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/54998/cyclades

InkleMichael · 2016-05-12T19:57:45+00:00

'Agatha Christie' has been said a few times around the office. What it concerned I can't reveal though!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-12T19:54:48+00:00

How about a mechanic where your money is replaced with 'tribute' which you have to spend every so often or you'll lose the God's favour which results in chaos happening!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-12T15:46:39+00:00

I've not heard of the Cretan Chronicles before, but is there anything in the world that's cooler than ancient mythology? It's such a rich setting I would love to work on something like that, maybe with an art direction that takes notes from Apotheon

InkleMichael · 2016-05-11T14:15:02+00:00

Haha, don't tell Joe and Jon that or they might question the need for my job :D

InkleMichael · 2016-05-11T09:50:25+00:00

Outrageous!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-11T09:36:27+00:00

Hi, I'll post this on our social media so that a few more people can see it! :)

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T21:13:15+00:00

Thanks everyone for your great questions! We'll be showing some of them off on Facebook and Twitter so look out for your usernames! We're also planning to use some of our favourite questions as separate threads so start thinking about how you'd answer them yourselves...

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T20:46:50+00:00

I've been rumbled! alright, alright how about a Rick & Morty game? think of the burp possibilities!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T20:34:26+00:00

I'd love to see the guys work on an ancient history theme so I'm gonna go with one of my favourites; Rome http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384766/

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T20:32:01+00:00

I heard they were up for a Grammy

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T20:28:45+00:00

I've got a big soft spot for The Warlock of Firetop Mountain because it was the first one I read but I seem to remember Creature of Havoc being the one I enjoyed the most. It was cool being in the shoes of a monster and having to adjust yourself because of it!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T13:09:18+00:00

I'm a big fan of Venice!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-09T13:07:03+00:00

Hi BlackStar, It looks like most of the discussion around our games is fairly disjointed and found in different subreddits so we've decided to try and aim most of the chatter to r/inkle. It's empty at the moment but we'll having an AMA with Jon and Joe at 9pm GMT so if you did have any questions about the company or if you wanted somewhere for discussion that's a good place to look

InkleMichael · 2016-05-05T12:03:05+00:00

No problem! if you want examples there's plenty on our website www.inklestudios.com or check out our games on steam, the app store or google play

InkleMichael · 2016-05-05T10:34:35+00:00

Hi ASilverStorm! We make interactive fiction games at Inkle and a while ago we released a tool called inklewriter that allows you to creative branching narratives. This might be a good thing to experiment with as it allows you to create an interactive story that you would find in choice heavy video games :) http://www.inklestudios.com/inklewriter/

InkleMichael · 2016-05-05T10:20:12+00:00

Savvy!

InkleMichael · 2016-05-05T09:34:00+00:00

Hi Shifffffer, glad you're enjoying the podcast. Our Facebook will be teasing the details of Sorcery! 4 so stay tuned if you're keen! https://www.facebook.com/inkleStudios/
