I'm no longer one of the organisers of @adventurex.bsky.social, so I can now state OBJECTIVELY that it's just the best. If you're an indie dev, a writer, journalist or academic, it's such a great place to share your games and ideas. If you can bear the idea of coming to England, apply now!

An event which constantly reminds me how much I love this medium and why I want to keep working in it.

AdventureX is back! If you have something to say about narrative games, or if you make them, you have 2 weeks left to be part of it.

Last year was my first AdventureX and it's a remarkable show. Definitely coming back this year

Submissions to exhibit and speak at AdventureX 2026 are closing in two weeks on 21 May! Time flies when having fun with story-driven games, so make sure you get your application in before the due date. Visit adventurexpo.org to apply to the UK’s only convention dedicated to narrative and adventure

...but out of interest if I DID do a talk, what would you want to learn about? My OG Directing Voice Actors talk probably needs an update, but if there are specifics I could delve into, let me know! youtu.be/w2fZifakLL4?...

It's looking like I won't have time to put together a pitch for an @adventurex.bsky.social talk this year (one day!) however I will be there, so: If you think having a voice actor involved would help your talk, just give me a shout. I helped out on @jon.inkle.co 's talk and had an absolute blast!

Best industry conference on the planet. No joke.

You make adventure games? The @adventurex.bsky.social submissions are open! I enjoyed the narrative game con VERY MUCH last year. We showcased Mops & Mobs and had a blast. www.adventurexpo.org #adventure #pointandclick #visualnovel #mopsandmobs #indiedev #narrativegame

As a regular attendee since the 2nd (?!) event, AdvX has continued to pave the way of the most accessible convention with a huge variety of speakers and subjects. Do check it out!

Submissions are open! Well worth taking a look if you've got a game to exhibit or a talk to give. AdventureX is not to be missed.

I had a great experience as a speaker & panelist at last year's AdventureX! I recommend you submit a talk if you have any narrative games / voice acting / adventure game wisdom to share, it's a friendly crowd and a spacious venue. RT and share to someone you think might be interested 👀

Doing a talk and panels at AdventureX not only was a lot of fun, raised my profile and got me more work- I made wonderful friends! It really is the nicest, warmest crowd you could hope for!

If you make narrative games, or have something to say about them, check out #AdvX26.

I think I'll be brave and throw my hat into the ring as a speaker this year! Vague talk thoughts: 'Your game needs fewer words'

Had a blast speaking at AdX last year! Go for it, narrative friends 👇

The best one

Black Friday Darren's at it again! Just kidding, Dave, we love you and Wadjet Eye Games. 😉 (For full context, watch the #AdvX25 Dark Room show recording on our YT channel: youtu.be/P-s6acgDGz0)

Looking forward to play the full version of Ashwood Conspiracy. The demo at @adventurex.bsky.social was really convincing, with challenging puzzles!

Pirates! Narrative design prototyping! Contemporary politics (a bit)! Geeky references to books, games, series and films! And a swashbuckle with AI at the very end (spoiler: the narrative designer wins). Love every bit of @jon.inkle.co's talk for @adventurex.bsky.social 2025 youtu.be/Vajgyh246t8?...

I loved playing A Week in the Life of @asocialgiraffe.bsky.social at @adventurex.bsky.social - and previewed this silly game for @indiegamesplus.com: indiegamesplus.com/asocial-gira...

I got the chance to preview Trans Theft Horso by @cowchildren.bsky.social at @adventurex.bsky.social - which I wrote up for @indiegamesplus.com! It's an adventure game about chasing hormones in the wild west. indiegamesplus.com/trans-theft-...

I wrote about Dark Tides by @darktidesgame.bsky.social at @adventurex.bsky.social - which is a narrative driven game about reading minds and solving mysteries: indiegamesplus.com/dark-tides-p...

We talk about spoken vs written comedy, being funny "for a girl", comic devices we love, what makes a game funny, and being funny in a team. It also features @darmato.bsky.social spontaneously reading in a Monkey Island scene with Alasdair, which was rather magical!

You can now watch the @adventurex.bsky.social panel "Finding the Funny" on YouTube! I was so pleased to be on this panel alongside @misterabk.bsky.social @davetheallthing.bsky.social @supernorn.bsky.social and chaired by @tallstorygames.bsky.social youtu.be/aCUwW7JWCJg?...

I did a keynote thing! Back in November, the folks at @adventurex.bsky.social kindly invited me to speak to a rowdy and welcoming crowd of game devs, which I did, and now there's video proof! The topic: IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Thanks again. It was a blast. Can't wait to see y'all again in November :-)

Chance's Lucky Escape by @juliaminamata.bsky.social @palkidmusic.bsky.social is a very humorous point and click adventure game, that I got to play at @adventurex.bsky.social for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/chances-luck...

My first @adventurex.bsky.social was an incredible experience and this talk was a real standout. Useful for every indie creator of every discipline.

'How To Position Your Game Like A Pro' The talk I gave at last year's fantastic @adventurex.bsky.social is now live on YouTube! Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vW-r... I give a brief introduction to what positioning is and a step-by-step walkthrough of how to conduct it for your game...

I got to preview We Stay Behind, a narrative driven game about a journalist, going to a deserted town to see why people want to live their until it's destroyed, at @adventurex.bsky.social for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/we-stay-behi...

At @adventurex.bsky.social I got the chance to play Ghost Haunting, which is a point and click adventure game where you play a naughty child, who finds out about the realm of the dead, for @indiegamesplus.bsky.social: indiegamesplus.com/ghost-haunti...

TR-49 is our best launch, ever, in 14 years. I admit I'm surprised! Made in 9 months, mostly as an experiment to learn Godot, and an excuse to play with some actors. (And for me to do some acting.) One thing I think IS cool: it's a "one-sitting" game. 4 hours; $7. No commitment required.

At @adventurex.bsky.social I gave a talk on creating stories from scratch: from idea to full outline, in 25 minutes, with jokes. Enjoy!

How can you sound sophisticated on a budget? Kathryn Vinclaire's Adventure X 2025 talk on casting actors for indie games is now available on our YouTube channel. #adventurex #gamedev #narrativegames #adventuregames #indiegame #indiedev #voiceacting youtu.be/pP5Q23eeVNU

Had an amazing time about a week ago at #adventurex - got to meet some lovely people go to great talks and use the unending bar tab Definitely up for it next year #gamedesign #narrativedesign #gamewriting #gamedevelopment #indiedev

Happy holidays from AdventureX! We're in our annual winter slumber, but already starting to plan for #AdvX26... 😉 In the meantime, VODs of this year's talks, panel and show are being released on our Youtube channel every few days until the end of January! youtube.com/@AdventureX/videos

The Delicate Art of Making Depressing Games" The talk @thepixelhunt.bsky.social and I gave at @adventurex.bsky.social is now on Youtube! We've been told it was good. You tell me. I don't have the strength to watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnM2...

Quest Quest Ep. 59, wherein I join sandwich correspondent @grundislav.games in discussing the green room offerings at @adventurex.bsky.social before barrelling headlong into the minefield of a regional sandwich rivalry: youtu.be/KWy1WU0ZcD8?...

Finally our report from AdventureX for @adventuretreff.bsky.social is online. Was incredibly happy to see it's back, and it's back so strong. www.adventure-treff.de/features/176... #advxconf @adventurex.bsky.social

As @darmato.bsky.social mentioned during his #AdvX25 keynote talk, he's back on the market for voiceover acting work! And Guybrush Threepwood isn't the only voice he can do... 😉

The first of this year's Adventure X talks is up on YouTube! @mairispaceship.com talks about designing puzzles that belong in the world of your game. youtu.be/XCBCKPpSD-A #adventurex #narrativegames #adventuregames

Adventure X 2025's panel discussion with games composers is now available on our YouTube channel. @markbenis.bsky.social, @jdwasabi.bsky.social, @paulzmmermann.bsky.social #adventurex #gamedev #narrativegames #adventuregames #indiegame #indiedev #music youtu.be/6ucvepYKye4
