It’s my pleasure to announce that today Distant Dials<\/a> is released, a short chat video game taking place in 2875 that I’ve been working on since 2017 with Nomys_Tempar<\/a>!
\nHe did the game design, the code, the scenario, the sound design and the music direction, and I did the illustrations, the interface design, the integration and the web design.<\/p>\n

Here is the video teaser:<\/p>\n

Synopsis :<\/p>\n

One day in the solar year 2875, you woke up from your 3th sleep cycle and your home is pitch black.<\/em>
\nAll is quiet.<\/em>
\nThe Maker, your personal computer mainframe, doesn\u2019t greet you with the local\u2019s and off world\u2019s news. It doesn\u2019t list you your schedule for today either.<\/em>
\nThe neuronal implant is, for the fisrt time of your life, silent.<\/em>
\nYou follow the emergency lightpath to the closest terminal. The Maker is still working, but its only display is an outdated 2D emergency interface of some sort.<\/em>
\nWhat\u2019s going on\u00a0?<\/em><\/p>\n

Distant Dials<\/a> is an experimental MUSH (Multi-User Shared Hallucination), a multiplayer game that wants to give players some leeway. Since it is a chat game, this translates into a gameplay based on a kind of fictional chat.
\nDistant Dials contains one hour of gameplay, then as many chat sessions as you want. The game is therefore also playable in very small sessions (around 5 minutes).<\/p>\n

Distant Dials is made with the Godot game engine<\/a>. The code and the assets are placed under the double license Free Art License 1.3 and Creative Commons 4.0. The game is available in French and English under GNU\/Linux, Windows and MacOS<\/a>.
\nDistant Dials is also published on Steam<\/a> and Itch.io<\/a>.
\nAnd you can even study the source code<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We have worked on 3 distinct environments both graphically and in terms of sound ambiences. So each faction has its own environment.
\nThe soundtrack consists of atmospheric tracks accompanied by a playlist of artists publishing under free licenses such as: Horla, Plagiarism, Soft and Furious, Meme, Bololipsum and others…
\nA soundtrack is available for listening on the official website<\/a>, and you can also take advantage of the avatar generator<\/a> to make a new face on the networks.<\/p>\n

And here are some screenshots to make you want to play it:<\/p>\n
