https://lichene.itch.io/ Narrative games by Eva @laughingpinecone.bsky.social and Andrea @andreamckid.bsky.social Eight last Signs in the Desert | Death to Venice | This is a black parallelepipedon in a yellow field | The solar system tastes like chicken
Important announcement (reposts appreciated): I’ve regained the rights to UDO. Guida ai videogiochi nell'Antropocene (The Unidentified Digital Object. A Guide to Videogames in the Anthropocene), and I have about a hundred leftover copies to give away. So:
BRIEFS IS BACK! The open call is NOW! The theme is LOVE! Think 1500 EUR to make a short game! Think jam-sized, like 40 hours to make it over a couple months. Pitch your game and get that cash! Apply until 16th of June! goldextra.com/en/briefs-a-... #indiedev #gamedev #art
lichene.itch.io/the-shedding... As Andrea and Fiore, follow the path across an old building in Milan to find your heart's desire - a journey that'll change you. If you persist, you two won't reach that destination. Others will. You will not know them. Stay on the path? @itch.io #indiegamedev #twine
Eight last signs in the desert lichene.itch.io/eight-last-s... #cascadeofwords #generativepoetry #noai #indiegame
lichene.itch.io/eight-last-s... Our new free game: find your (un)meanings for the last Objects surviving in the desertified collective imagination and let them spark surrealist poetry. Give in to a feverish free flow of words and pictures. @itchio.bsky.social #indiegamedev #weirdgame #surrealism
Now, at the edge of the desert, the light of the image withers away... follow a guided rite through words and images, free, 30m long. Let yourself shape a visionary flow of shifting symbols for the sheer joy of it, find your meaning as a road cone comes undone. lichene.itch.io/eight-last-s...

We don't know. What we do know is the wiring diagram works. We built it, virtually, in @godotengine.org. We fed it scans of the books we found. And the books are very, very strange. The "game" that resulted is also strange. We're hoping people can make sense of it for us.

Everything leads us to believe that there exists a certain point of the mind at which life and death, the real and the imagined, past and future, the communicable and the incommunicable, high and low, cease to be perceived as contradictions. André Breton

1/4 When the pitch for Death to Venice won its BRIEFS grant, it was time for our development studio to have a name. As most lichens are the result of a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi the term is fitting to represent our artistic relationship. #logo #artisticduo

1/6 Death to Venice is about the encounter and the exchange between two dying characters: a person and a place. The person is in the final stage of a terminal illness and decides to spend their last days in Venice, which is the place. #interactivefiction #textgame #keyart #workinprogress
1/3 A little backstage of the process leading to the visuals of Death to Venice! First, taking countless photos in the Venice area. Then making a montage of different bits and pieces to obtain a more or less original landscape.
