Lines of dialogue are displayed one at a time, with a ships wheel icon signifying that the conversation will continue when you click.īrooke is writing all of the dialogue, and she's doing it in Twine, a web-based tool for creating text-driven games.
An anchor icon signifies that this is the end of the conversation. You're not playing as them, but you are telling their story. This is intentional, as we're going for more of a story-telling feel, and trying to keep some distance between you and the characters. Conversations contain not only spoken dialogue, but description. There are a couple of things to point out: Rather than having dialogue trees, the characters will take part in (relatively brief) scripted conversations that reveal character and push the story forward, but keep you from getting tired of clicking through options and prevent you from reading the same dialogue more than once. But being a bit of a twist on the adventure genre, we're trying to tackle dialogue in a different way. Unlike Doggins, dialogue is a big part of Burly Men at Sea. « Last Edit: September 30, 2016, 02:55:44 PM by dmcondolora Awesome, thanks for the follow! Hopefully this post will deliver more bearded-goodness. I’m excited to share Burly Men at Sea’s development with the awesome community here! We’d love any feedback you have as the game takes shape. Platforms: Mac/PC/iOS/Android, with more TBA. We share/split design and writing duties, with Brooke being the lead designer and writer on this project. I (David) handle the programming and sound design, and Brooke is the artist and animator. Pre-production began shortly after our first game, Doggins, was released in 2014.īrain&Brain is David and Brooke Condolora, a husband-and-wife indie dev team. We’re designing Burly Men at Sea with a branching storyline, so you can have multiple unique adventures. 
Mythological creatures and fantastical situations will be the norm on this strange voyage. We’re drawing a lot of inspiration from the remote fishing villages of Norway, along with Scandinavian folklore.
Brooke later co-opted the name for this game, and we love it. The game actually originated as a name: for reasons since forgotten, we were once convinced that “Burly Men at Sea” was a great name for a coffee shop.
