Their first game, Lacuna, is a 2D sci-fi noir adventure where your choices matter, and is greatly inspired by The Expanse. In this conversation, the couple talk about working together creatively before the launch of DigiTales, Julian's experience as a composer in the gaming industry, the importance of listening to feedback during development, and the incredible enthusiasm and excitement they saw from concept to release of Lacuna. They also talk about the political turmoil of Russia/Ukraine and other conflicts, and how that helped inform the political aspects of their narrative. ---------------------------------------------------------- Find Lacuna on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1364100/Lacuna__A_SciFi_Noir_Adventure/ Visit the DigiTales Interactive website: https://digitales.games/ Follow DigiTales Interactive on Twitter: https://twitter.com/digitales_games Learn more about your ad choices.
