Tell me why : the game

Post by magmavander »

Hello,

my daughter have worked on a new video game from Dontnod Entertainment (they made games like Life is Strange, Vampyr, Remember me, etc).
She's Narrative Designer and Game Designer on this project.

She's very involved in this game and we hope it will be a success. At the moment it's a Microsoft exclusive game for XBox and PC.
But maybe it will be on next gen console.

It's called Tell me Why : https://www.tellmewhygame.com/

Thanks!!

Thank you Mag for info about the game. Watched trailer.
That's great ,your daughter working on it 8-)
Children should stop playing games like Minecraft (i don't know if I wrote it correct) and so on and start playing better reasonable games,I think.
I wish many success to this game indeed !
:dance:
EDIT: I like the name of that game,inspired...

Thanks TS!!

She's very nervous about how people will react to this game as it shares unusual point of view.
She wrote most of dialogues and have supervised actors when recording voices, bot in Los Angeles and in Paris.
This was cool because she was 8 days in L.A for that :D
She's also Game Designer on this production.

Looks like a cool game. I've been working on a game with my son and also started making a game on my own. I'm mainly a programmer so making a story is the hardest part for me. I work in Unreal Engine 4. I've visited some studios close to my home town. Most known is probably Coffee Stain who made Goat simulator. their studio is really nice. Also two days ago I was at a smaller studio which makes horror games. They were few but very talented.

Good luck with the game.

Hi Xeno, thanks for the hope :D

Let us know when you want some people to test your games.
Her boyfriend also works in video game, he is more in technical stuff (gui, testing, etc).
He works at Focus Home Interactive, also in Paris.

Good luck too with your games ;)

The trailer makes curious to see more of it. Fascinating and involving story, very psychological, I like that.

Is your daughter holding the "o"? :)

No, she's on the left, middle range, behind a guy with a red scarf and glasses :)

And you can download a free game from Dontnod, made for Square Enix, as a demo for Life Is Strange, a good example of Dontnod games :

PS : I think my daughter is not involved in this one.
