The cultural event of Blaseball meets the cultural narrative games event of LudoNarraCon...
Exploring Narrative Projection - Blaseball vs Where Cards Fall
The Game Band are hosting a LudoNarraCon Panel at 10am PT, Friday April 23!
The stories we tell through video games begin with the player. Although they may be written about characters, it is the player's experience of the story told through the characters that really matters. This idea of narrative projection is explored in both of indie studio The Game Band's two titles - spatial puzzle coming-of-age game, Where Cards Fall, and absurdist text-based baseball simulation, Blaseball.
Although wildly different in gameplay and aesthetic style, both Where Cards Fall and Blaseball invite narrative projection in unique ways. Join Sam Rosenthal, Stephen Bell, and Joel Clark as they reflect on the stories being told through these games.
Introducing the LudoNarraCon Supporter Pack
A brand new initial for LudoNarraCon 2021, Fellow Traveller have created the LudoNarraCon Supporter Pack.
This Steam bundle page features an exclusive game commissioned in 8 weeks from the developers of Kind Words, an album of music and a treasure trove of digital wallpapers from LudoNarraCon exhibitors.
We’d love to be able to make LudoNarraCon bigger and we have a stack of ideas for other initiatives to help narrative game developers. If you enjoy the event and love narrative games, we encourage you to purchase this Supporter Pack, get yourself a fantastic bundle of goodies including an exclusive game and help us to make future LudoNarraCon events and initiatives even better.
