• Dames 4 Games on March 6!
Jump on Steam to check out all the amazing games created by women developers.
Finally, a big thanks to Sam Cable, our Co-Founder and Chief Cat Cuddler. Curious about what Sam gets up to every day? Check out this short video as Sam discusses her journey as Narrative Director on Copycat.
"My role as head of narrative and co-director means I try to champion the story through every stage of development. I help describe the world for the art director, plan out movement cues for the animator, and suggest vocal cues for the actors. One of my favourite parts of the creative process was seeing our dialogue come to life. We had a three-day studio record, where we were able to work directly with our actors to sculpt the emotions and intensity of the scene. We averaged about 200 lines a day between our lead actors. At the same time, focusing on intonation, clarity and vibrancy of the dialogue."
Thanks to our two female studio kitties - Books and Valeria. Here's a sneaky photo of Books trying to help.
Big Smiles,
Sam & Kostia
