Before we came to our current graphic novel inspired character design style we explored several options.  Here's a peek behind the curtain at some of the looks we considered.  Bonus points if you can guess the influences in the comments.

We know, it's the question that keeps you up at night.   Yes - the Narrator DOES have little arms under that cloak, as you can see in one of our early design concept explorations! We animate in @rive.app and the whole team is collaborating to help bring them to life with exciting new interactions.

Can't wait for Halloween and want to get into the spirit now?  Try out our Pride & Prejudice: Courtship & Crimson Adaptation to explore these hauntingly beautiful locations painted by one of our artists.

Media we love! Unless you have a spare hour and a lot of patience, do not ask our engineer Chris about the immersive theatre experience Sleep No More. His first visit to the McKittrick hotel was on a Hidden Door social outing, and it got its talons in him deep.

Did you know you can meet animal companions on your adventure through the Land of Oz? 🐾 Keep an eye out for friendly critters—they just might become your next furry sidekick!

Oxford comma: Yes, No, or Sometimes?

While we know The Scarecrow gets A LOT of love online, won't someone think of The Tin Man?  Well our artist did, and her experience whisked her off her feet. Create your own world on Hidden Door make your moment with your favorite characters. #TeamTinMan #UnexpectedLove #WizardOfOz

More media we love! Chris (engineering) watched the animated sci-fi Pantheon while snuggling a sleeping newborn on paternity leave. With a minor spoiler for the first episode of the show: that is _not_ a neutral position to watch from 😭

Adding modifiers to your worlds is when creativity gets to run wild. We are delighted by what happens when you remix elements together - who knew Pride & Prejudice + Superpowers would be so fun?!  Want to earn the Superpower modifier for yourself? Play, break the game, and tell us about it.

In honor of Robert Redford's passing, Rourke (narrative) is using this installment of Media We Love to talk about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. All four main actors give beautiful performances - Redford, Newman, Ross, and the Utah landscape. It's no wonder that Redford fell in love with it.

A new article from @bryantfrancis.me on how Game Devs are more worried about GenAI content than ever (including a quote from @hmason.bsky.social !) because, yeah, we agree.

We have been informed that nothing is more dramatically compelling than Bureaucracy. (We'd question this assertion but we can't find the forms needed to make an inquiry.) Seek Adventure... In Triplicate with our new Bureaucracy In Action scene.

One of Nick's (engineering) biggest inspirations in interactive storytelling is Undertale, which turns 10 today. 🎂 Undertale is a critical study in player agency that succeeds at having an earnest dialogue with the player in a way that very few games ever have. It also has a ton of heart.
