EDIT: Ya encontré la versión en español, ¡qué bueno que la podré utilizar para mis cursos en español también!
I just played through this whole game I love it so much! Felicidades Nico and Niebla Games. Because you said feedback is welcome:
- I think it's an amazing adaptation of Guaman Poma's work and it really does justice to the major themes and some of the most memorable illustrations in the original work
- I'm a professor and I will definitely be teaching it in both my game studies and Latin American studies courses, what a fantastic educational tool to bring this material to younger and global audiences!
- My first game system was the Atari 2600, and the graphics are such a nostalgic throwback to games like 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' or 'Adventure' but in a wonderfully decolonial way, SO cool!
- I have a couple small suggestions to smooth out the English--would you mind sharing the text of the script if you would be interested in that kind of feedback?
- Is the game available (or could it be) in Spanish? Quechua? That would be so cool too!
- The soundtrack is 💯
- Okay I'm not a game developer, but one observation is that in one of my favorite serious games, Anna Anthropy's Dys4ia (https://w.itch.io/dys4ia), the narrative is complemented by a series of repeating mini-game mechanics that actively engage the player and gradually increase in difficulty, with a focus on level design and interactivity that (to my way of thinking) enhances the transmission of the message.
- That's 👆a "for what it's worth" comment, because I think this game already does a great job of leading the player on an interactive journey through Guaman Poma's text that transmits its meaning beautifully. Una belleza de verdad Nico
