One of the funniest trailers for the #AdventureX was Trans Theft Horso. Especially thanks to @benjamilian.bsky.social 's excellent rhyming. The melody is so catchy, the songs of the game will follow you around for days. Thanks.

We even credited everyone who worked on localization - yes, including temporarily trade show localization that didn’t ship in the final game. Crediting people is super cool and very legal you should do it too!
We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

After "film trilogy that dropped a critical plot point exclusively via timed Fortnite event" and "video game series whose story only makes sense if you're aware of the events of a canon pachinko machine", I feel like there are whole frontiers of user-hostile narrative design waiting to be explored.

I'm gonna be at @adventurex.bsky.social in London tomorrow and Sunday, helping Ben exhibit their masterpiece Trans Theft Horso! I went in 2019 and it was an absolute blast. Very excited to spend a weekend raving about this game and playing a bunch of demos ✨️ Come and say hi if you're going too!!
I'm taking Trans Theft Horso to AdventureX narrative gaming convention tomorrow where I'll get to exhibit demos for the game, plus let people pet some plush animal friends.
Here are some visuals I made for the demo menu today #AdvX25
