VIDEOVERSE has been selected to be part of Day of the Devs 10th Anniversary on November 5th in San Francisco…and I’ll be there in-person, showing the first playable demo of the game!
Day of the Devs is a free, public event where you can try out a bunch of cool indie games that are currently in development, plus there's food, drinks and live music! The event is at The Midway and general admission starts at 3pm (PT). More information and ticket reservations can be found here.
If you're unable to make it in person, there is also a digital event on November 3rd at 10am (PT) which will be on The Game Awards Twitch channel, where you can see the games in the showcase!
I hope you’ll join us all in the celebrations! :)
Announcing Kinmoku's second game: VIDEOVERSE
VIDEOVERSE is narrative adventure game about love and friendship, inspired by Miiverse, and will be releasing soon on PC, Mac and Linux. It's set in the days of the early internet and fan forums, and is named after the fictional online social network in which it is based (Videoverse). As the player spends time in Videoverse, they'll discover people in need, form friendships and help make the online community warm and welcoming. Some friends in particular are going through difficult times, and the game helps prepare the player navigate heavy topics. However, there are plenty of fun and silly moments to enjoy throughout the game as well (it is inspired by Miiverse, after all!).
VIDEOVERSE can be enjoyed in around 6 hours, but there are optional side stories and various narrative branches. You can also personalise your experience by customising your Videoverse avatar, setting your personal quote and choosing a favourite theme.
The music is composed by Clark Aboud (Slay the Spire, Kind Words), who's created a beautifully chill, retro-inspired soundtrack for the fictional video game console, the "Kinmoku Shark". Additionally, VIDEOVERSE will feature voice acting, though more details on this will be announced in future posts.
