What’s so special about ‘The Last Door’ betas?

/ 2665 / 9
Don’t you hate when you buy a product and it turns to be nothing you were told it would be? I certainly do, that’s why I feel like I should explain in detail how the episode’s betas are in The Last Door for those of you who have not yet taken part in one. Most people think of a “beta” version as a nearly finished product, where you should be open to experience some bugs here and there, but, overall, it will be very close to the final experience. This is not the case of The Last Door. This game Continue reading

Introducing ‘The Last Door: Season Two’

/ 569 / 0
This time around, we’re not ready to start working on the next episode right away. We feel that you guys deserve a detailed explanation of why we took this decision. So here we go: For starters, as you may know, our team recently lost one of the main programmers, this mean we are no longer able to create new chapters as fast as we used to. At least, not until we expend some time optimizing our creative process to be more efficient. So we have made that our new ‘top priority’: we need time to analyze all the processes involved Continue reading

Financing “The Last Door” in detail

/ 782 / 0
Honesty and transparency have always been our priority, particularly in regard to our finances, so this message is a long time in coming. But before we get to that, I’d first like to give you an introduction to our vision and culture as I think this is relevant to your understanding why we made the decisions that we have. Money is not the ends, but the means. We at The Game Kitchen aren’t businessmen. For us, starting a business wasn’t the objective but just an absolute necessity toward reaching our aim of being able to create video games. In these Continue reading

Reducing accessibility barriers on an adventure game

/ 1208 / 0
As most of you already know, we are quite proud that “The Last Door” has important in-game accessibility features. To that effect, we counted on the help and experience of AccessAble Games (http://accessablegames.com) in order to design “The Last Door” as much accessible as possible. The most remarkable functionalities towards accessibility are: the possibility to play with a special font adapted to dyslexia disorder and closed captions. Since the beginning of the game development, we had clear that we wanted to add accessibility features so that any player could enjoy “The Last Door” experience. Now, each time we undertake a Continue reading
