#narrativedesign #gamedev #videogame #indigame #strategygame #cardgame I'm working on a new strategic card video game where you play as a Roman senator during the late Republic. Use your cards to persuade the Senate and manage the construction of new buildings across the city of Rome.

#homer #storyeditor #floweditor #narrativedesign #gamedev #videogame #indigame In Homer, you can add a new global variable simply by writing it in any node. Homer will automatically detect it as new and add it with the correct type.

#homer #storyeditor #floweditor #narrativedesign #gamedev #videogame #indigame Homer allows you to easily create dialogue nodes by pasting copied dialogue text directly into the platform. It automatically generates actors and connects the nodes for you.

After more than two years of research and development, the public demo for Becoming Saint is now available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2643010/... #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #strategy #indiegamedev #medieval #history

#homer #storyeditor #floweditor #narrativedesign #gamedev #videogame #indigame We put Homer to the test with the internationalization of Becoming Saint, and it handled the challenge flawlessly—our translation management system worked seamlessly across 7 languages! homer.open-lab.com
