First person to attempt the NORCO City Hall puzzle irl.

I've bought NORCO three times, most recently the PS5 edition from @lostincult.co.uk, because it's such a great example of a game firing on all cylinders. I look at these and find myself nostalgic for a five year old game. "Oh, I remember where I was in that scene, and that scene, and that scene."

Pixel art depictions of Interstate 10 in NORCO.

The new one's an industrial sprawl wetland investigation game that weaves in the history of the La Salle expedition and other pieces of the Gulf South's colonial past.

Now up on Patreon: progress on the latest environment for our new game. You can also find developer logs & interviews, Aseprite project files, desktop wallpapers and a lot of other things. Thank you to our supporters!

We went out for a late Aldi run recently and the sky was intensely glowing red in the distance. We initially thought a house a street or two over was on fire but nah, just one of the chemical plants off of Airline. I’ve grown up around these things but I hadn’t seen it that intense in a while.

The blog Sky City had a good run (2006 - 2019). It documented retail stores across the South (and eventually elsewhere), many of them shuttered or dying. Included advertisements, site plans, etc. A great attempt to capture a bit of the history of the prodigious Southern suburbs.

We talk about his development experience, the family history that inspired Promesa, and what he's carrying forward into our new work. Thank you very much to all of our supporters.

i dont remember this part of norco, maybe ive been playing it wrong this entire time 😰 @geographyofrobots.bsky.social

With so many games being released every year it's easy to let some fall by the wayside, and that needs to not happen with NORCO. Easily one of the best releases of the last few years.

"I don’t think we give enough credit to weirdness in games as a source of mystery and power."

Good morning, Patreon supporters! I just posted the December devlog, featuring new environments, assets, and UI improvements.

NORCO is one of my all time favorite games and if you get it for 65% off that’s highway robbery on I59 and also I10 so you really should just jump on this

NORCO's a Christmas game. 65% off on Steam through December 12th.

www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-... You should buy this bundle and get every game! Yes, my game Adios is in it. It's $13 for the entire collection; it would mean the world to us if you picked it up. You have about two days to do it!

Play NORCO wherever you can find it.

Can confirm this is one of the best games for steam deck. Thick atmosphere with intelligent world building that has a very real sense of political economy. Excited for your upcoming @geographyofrobots.bsky.social !

Had the chance to play NORCO myself on a Steam Deck and can confirm it runs well. We added features to make things more comfortable, like using buttons to quickly cycle through selectables, and supporting both dpad & joystick for cursor control. There are a number of font options available as well.

Good morning. "Ducks over a marsh" by Cal Gaspard, 1970.

Patreon supporters, a new post is up covering progress on the latest environment. Thanks everyone!

This is the good stuff

Can't get enough of it really. A representation of Gulf South habitats as faithful as we can make it.

Played Norco by @geographyofrobots.bsky.social for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social Game Club. It was an interesting and layered experience. I had seen it be recommended as a similar vibe to KRZ and yep, they are "of the same cloth" Happy to finally play it, It had some scenes I really loved.

I do think it makes for a good handheld experience. A little like flipping through postcards from Louisiana.

NORCO is Steam Deck Verified & 65% off until the 29th of October
