It was nominated for the IGF award, the A MAZE award, Indiecade, and chosen for the Game Happens showcase (among others), which is completely mind-blowing, as this is me and my two collegues’ first commercial project. We’re indredibly happy with how everything turned out.</p><p>If you’re curious, please consider buying the game - it’s only 3,99€/$4,99 and, as many players have told us, a unique (and for some very emotional) experience!</p><p><b>Steam-Link:</b> <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/723890/Dont_Make_Love/" target="_blank">https://store.steampowered.com/app/723890/Dont_Make_Love/</a><br/></p><p><b>itch.io-Link:</b> <a href="https://maggese.itch.io/dont-make-love" target="_blank">https://maggese.itch.io/dont-make-love</a><br/></p><p><b>Here’s the official text:</b></p><p>“Assume the role of a praying mantis in a relationship. Constantly torn between their mutual love and the instinct to have sex – which could lead to the male mantis’s death – the couple are now on the verge of making a decision. Assume the role of either of the lovers, and try to keep their relationship in balance. Do your best to convey your feelings in a situation with no solution.”</p><p><b>Reviews:</b><br/></p><p> “It’s surprising how natural this feels. One person (or mantis) is dominating the conversation, but the player is able to influence the direction, and even the conclusion, through empathetic responses, and their own thoughts.”<br/><a href="https://kotaku.com/a-dating-sim-where-sex-means-getting-eaten-by-a-bug-1824125290" target="_blank">Kotaku</a><br/><br/>“With tons of different paths to clear, Don’t Make Love puts up a challenge for players that may seem deeper than a couple of bugs fighting instinct.

(She complained about the Golden Gate Bridge being a huge disappointment, and told me that it looks exactly like the A40 bridge in Duisburg, Germany. Feel free to look it up and agree with me that comparing these two is… pretty bold.)<br/></p>https://ninanofun.tumblr.com/post/178756186110https://ninanofun.tumblr.com/post/178756186110Fri, 05 Oct 2018 13:32:48 +0200Nina's Everyday LifeComicSan FranciscoGDCGame Developers Conferencetravel diarygdc 2018
