Happy Valentine’s Day from the whole team at Lowbirth Games! Wishing you all a day filled with love and joy—just like these two. ❤️

A huge thank you to @krystineart.bsky.social for this stunning piece! Make sure to check out more of her work—she’s truly amazing. ✨🥹

You can play a maid in the 50's who love to snoop around stranger's stuff in This Bed we Made.

It's narrative, indie and just about loving secrets^^

Thanks for the recommendation!

Really good investigation games are gems.. and so difficult to make!

Visuel de citation entendu dans le jeu vidéo "Le design du perso principal est pas assez bien : j'ai pas envie de la baiser. - Un directeur artistique" En bas, le sigle STJV et le logo de la grève générale du jeu vidéo 2025

Entendu dans le jeu vidéo : non ça ne date pas d'il y a 20 ans. Le sexisme est toujours aussi répandu dans notre industrie #gg25

Et de mon premier lead et mentor en game design ^^

OUI XD J'ai quelques quotes du DESS qui se font trigguées parfois face à des situations

Héhé cute!

Même dans 5 ans face à son design, il risque de continuer à entendre ta voix lui dire ça XD

Les Français.ses à Montréal en ce moment

🤔

Huum... Macron il peut pas faire comme Trudeau?

Ça serait bien héhé

Happy you like it! ❤️

Thanks for your recommendation!

Thanks for playing ❤️

Happy holidays ✨

Resolved mysteries in a snowing Montreal is a good way to spend the holidays season^^

Oh 😊

Hope you like it ☺️

It’s a solo game but you really can play together for the puzzles!

Mental health is one of the subject discussed with the 50’s historic context angle.

The team will be happy to have your feedbacks after playing 🙂

Buying for me right now 1000xRESIST.

Thanks for the reminder^^

OOh ☺️

This Bed We Bade with other amazing games 👀

Hope you will love it^^

It's the perfect moment to discover our game if not done already ❄️❤️

You will have mystery, puzzles, the guilty pleasure of spying as a maid, 50's Montreal... and queer stories 🏳️‍🌈

C’est tellement plus simple de s’attaquer au bouc émissaire qu’aux vraies problèmes.. dont ces politiciens profitent ou sont la cause.

Problème de logement, d’accès au service en santé…

Yes! You can just use powerpoint with links or Miro with links to just visualise when it's very basic (like game where you're the hero) if you don't need a system with conditions and effects.

Paper design can be also very good too! (Like a board game)

Zero learning curve, and you can test!

Of course. ND is all about adapting, to the team and their skills, to the project, the scope..

But in general ; Twine, it’s not viable after the prototyping, to the production. It remains a tool just for the early stage. Perfect for a game jam or learning… As indie, I will need a writing tool after

It's not great. Articy-Draft is better to use professionally-wise. You can do your prototyping and the production with it (depending of the game).

Gros soutien ><

J'aurais adoré pouvoir aller un jour à l'ADDON!

Arcane is so good. They should make a video game based on it

What an amazing experience to teach! ✨

I’m so happy to have spoken at the place where I studied 7 years ago—and to share the advice I wish I’d heard back then about narrative design.

I hope it resonated with the students ❤️

I am excited to dive into making the syllabus...

I feel like a paradox. 🤯

For a big part of my life, I did everything to avoid the fate of teaching while studying history—which seemed destined to make me a professor. I only wanted the research part...

...and now, as an experienced game designer, I crave teaching my craft? WTF me.

✨My studio have created a Bluesky account 🥀

Specially if you love narrative and mystery games with a social impact agenda 👀

Yes! Always keep in mind that budget is likely to fall short, not just because budgets are often tight, but also because producers or indie directors rarely understand how much time great writing actually takes.
So true for the importance of the ending! Important also for investigation mechanics!

basic or bad*

basic of bad.. Interesting concept XDXD But not what I have in mind.
