The (un)expected trigger

14/04/2013 at 13:21
Dear indie gamer, you are just discovering Narcosis, but actually the project didn’t started yesterday.
Narcosis started last year as a student project in the ENJMIN, a french video game school. We worked on it a couple of months, then, we split and went to different places for internships and jobs.
A couple of us wanted to continue the adventure but motivation was hard to find. We were all spread across France, with various occupations, and even if you really like your project, it can be really hard to make it real with such circumstances. The desire to continue was present, but to truely dive in, we needed something more, we needed a sort of trigger.

In january of this year, the 2013 IGF student showcase was announced. And without really exepcting it, we had an Honorable mention. And this kind of stuff, even if there is a lot of luck in it, is just great and motivating.

So, for the young and impetuous game makers we are, this Honorable mention, from a jury we may never meet but we respect a lot, was the trigger we were (un)expecting.

Gamers Assembly 2013

Last week end in Poitiers, France, took place 2013 Gamers Assembly.
Gamers Assembly is the most important competitive event in France. More than 800 gamers compete on games such as League of Legends, Team Fortress 2 or StarCraft 2.Alongside the tournaments, Gamers Assembly offers conferences, contests, previews etc.

This year, the staff gave us the opportunity to showcase Narcosis, an opportunity we didn’t miss, even if the project is far from being ready! A lot of people showed interest in our project and many interesting talks occured around our « booth » (a table, a seat, and two laptops actually).

Last but not least, we ran a contest during the whole event: « Make scream the viperfish that lies in you », with prizes (games mostly) for the best 3 performers.Participants had to record themselves making the sound of a viperfish (whatever this sound actually is) and then send it to us.I don’t want the sound designers of Dead Space to be jealous, but here goes the three winners (special mention to Maxime, our number 3, for his « freshness » ahah).
