Hey everyone, Adam from Robust Games here. We’re excited to be kicking off another Loco Motive development blog, so let’s get right to it! [b][u]Development Update[/u][/b] In Loco Motive you play the intertwined stories of three characters aboard the train on one fateful evening. We’ve made huge progress since our last updates, adding lighting, more dialogue, puzzles and little environment touches. At this point, we’re very close to finalising Arthur’s telling of events! Check out these latest shots of the game in action!

[b]AdventureX[/b] brings together a wide range of narrative-driven indie games and is the UK's only convention dedicated to narrative-driven gaming. It's a celebration of creativity, indie development and interactive storytelling, so we’re happy to be in such good company!

This time we’re taking a look at [i]Lady Unterwald[/i]. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41650287/8926ec176b5d7a50ac43b601cc2085ba4e737bab.png[/img] Lady Unterwald is the eccentric heiress of the Wald-Bahn Rail Company and the head of the Unterwald empire. On the verge of a landmark speech aboard her flagship train, Lady Unterwald has gathered the family together to finally reveal her successor, but not before making some last-minute amendments to her will. What follows next will set the wheels in motion for an adventure that’s truly off the rails! [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41650287/4971a2d433d6fc312db7c27e01b2cc766b92a0df.png[/img] That’s all for now!
