Grab your Joy-Con™ controllers and prepare for some emotional time travel into a dark world inspired by Romanian Communism and 90’s Sci-fi universe, as you take control of an old machinist who manipulates his way out of The System.. History's Loop GIF: Some years back, the western civilization was experiencing the cultural, industrial and economic climax. The middle class was expanding, the arts were flourishing and the scientific discoveries were popping like popcorn, significantly improving the quality of life. The traditional was slowly fading away, being replaced by the new, the western, the eccentric, by that which aligns to a new order. It was shallow, I know, the poor continued to be exploited and there was still famine in the world, but at least some of us were moving forward.Yet the laws of Geo-politics, were not dormant. It was the perfect environment to strike and strive. Bloody actions were inevitable if you looked from the top downwards, yet doubtful if you looked around. These events had made a few people rich, retraced some borders, then left a world in financial decay and emotional ache. The perfect playground for authoritarian leaders to arise and thrive. Visionaries were hoping they’re dealing with isolated cases, yet these sugar-daddies were a growing trend.Loved by the majority and even supported by some intellectuals, it was high time for the masses to be seduced into the arms of an authoritarian father figure who'd impose rules and would have solutions for a world that seemed to have gone mad.One by one, some iconic nations elected the leaders they believed in. They voted for a better life, for safety, for common sense, for respect, with all the good intentions.If right now, you feel like saying Erdogan, Putin, Trump, Brexit, Le Pen, Assad, well, your thoughts, not mine. I was hinting more towards Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Franco, Ceausescu, but you got the picture.As an indie studio, we assumed a stance against any totalitarian / authoritarian / egalitarian regime by creating Black The Fall: the journey of an old machinist whose only purpose is to survive, by escaping Communism. We find it to be our duty to address our daily concerns through our work. When Black The Fall [www.blackthefall.com] was just an idea, it was about here are bits and pieces of how we lived . But now it becomes more and more about here are bits and pieces of how we might live again.And we are not the only ones in the industry standing up. Our brothers here have done a brilliant job at putting indie games in the service of sociopolitical wake-up calls. And this is just to name a few titles: Papers Please - Play as an immigration inspector who controls the flow of people entering the Arstotzkan side of Grestin from Kolechia. Among the throngs of immigrants and visitors looking for work are hidden smugglers, spies, and terrorists. Orwell - play as the one and only Big Brother. Beholder - Play as a State-installed Landlord in a totalitarian State. We Happy Few - an action/adventure game set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England. 1979 Revolution: Black Friday - a choice driven, narrative game that brings players into the brooding world of a nation on the verge of collapse. Kommissar -a political prosecution simulator in a totalitarian regime. Democracy is a fragile thing, heavily dependent on our everyday actions. It sometimes bothers, as we need to oblige by the voice of the many. I get it: I’m me, you’re you, we’re definitely not the many, but the selected few. Yet, we know from experience, that the most painful regime is to abide not the voice of the many, but that of the one...

May you have a Black Halloween!. Our Protective and Abusive Surveillance: In the past decades surveillance evolved a lot, as both Orwell and Huxley have envisioned at the beginning of the century. Our safety used to lie in the hands of the local police officer, the personal guard, the handmaiden or the Communist neighbor, while today it’s in the hands of a modern Big Brother feeding on Big Data.For our safety and comfort there are CCTVs, GPS tracking, Wi-fi[www.sciencemag.org], listening capabilities on mobile phones, laptops and even routers[www.theatlantic.com]. Online behavior tracking is delivering us the ultimate personalized experience, but with every social media login it is also recording our every move in order for our profiles to be as accurate as possible for commercial use or political manipulation[motherboard.vice.com]. That is for ads and news to be delivered in a way we’d buy without knowing we’re sold to – easily and willingly.The only problem with (over)protection is that there’s a fine line between useful and abusive. We’d love to know that criminals can be tracked down by GPS or recorded phone conversations, recognized in CCTV footage and have their plans uncovered, before they even happen. And sometimes this actually happens[www.mirror.co.uk], while other times surveillance is intentionally misused[www.aclu.org].Living in a world thorn between Orwellian fear and Huxleyan pleasure, we need to throw a clear-eyed look at mass surveillance[www.hrw.org] and define the lines of when surveillance is appropriate[cs.stanford.edu].For more updates you can: add Black The Fall to your Wishlist on Steam read our blog like us on Facebook[www.facebook.com] follow us on Twitter subscribe to our newsletter[eepurl.com] (we only send major announcements on email). #freedomiscontrol. Postmortem: The totalitarian puzzle-platformer Black The Fall: My name is Cristian Diaconescu. I'm a 3D artist, game designer, motorcycle rider, and the creative director at Sand Sailor Studio[www.blackthefall.com], with over 15 years of experience and university studies in both programming and graphic design. My game Black The Fall, a communist-inspired puzzle-platformer title, was funded on Kickstarter and backed by Execution Labs. The award-winning title was published on July 11, 2017, by Square Enix Collective on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One.Black The Fall was born in 2014 as an art project: a black and white stealth-platformer set in an alienated world. The game concept came as a means to illustrate and express rebellion against the mechanisms of a heavily corrupted system, rooted in the decades of communism Romania has endured. In the months that followed, myself and co-founder Nicoleta Iordanescu discovered that there's much to envisage about the communist mentality: distrust, dehumanizing work environment, and uniformity. We chose to enter the arena of puzzle genre, using it to illustrate what it means to cope with a restrictive regime. We lived in times where there was no freedom of speech, intellectuals were thrown into prisons and tortured, food was subject to rationing, there was no access to contraception. Access to western culture was minimal. It sounds Orwellian, but unfortunately, this was the reality in most communist countries. The worst part is that it's still happening in some parts of the world. Additionally, as we explored this path we realized that the oppressive mechanics apply to the western world today, where a lot of people feel forced to conforming to a system they don’t believe in. The journey from conception to release was a crazy ride, with ups and downs. We learned so much, made a few mistakes, and scored a lot of successes:WHAT WENT RIGHT1. Cohesive TeamThe development of Black The Fall as a puzzle-platformer inspired by Communism began at the end of 2014, after the Kickstarter campaign, with five team members: two programmers and one artist who joined myself and Nicoleta, both artists and founders. After almost a year, two more artists and a community manager joined. Then, almost a year later, one last and much-needed team member joined: a programmer dedicated to console porting. This little piece of studio history shows that we began our journey as a heterogeneous group that, in time, after tens of Jira sprints, daily stand-ups, weekly meetings and tens of ad-hoc brainstorming sessions, built a dynamic together. Two of the most important parts of the development dynamic were: 1. the designer-friendly interface created by Razvan, one of the programmers, in order for level designers to be able to create diagrams easily, and 2. the scene ownership rotation approach we opted for, in favor of the specialization on broad activities.For example, rather than having one person dedicated to environment art, we’d have one person responsible for a scene in terms of environment, puzzle mechanic, light, camera angle, readability etc. This would give a type of work autonomy which moved things along faster. Then the scenes would be tested by the others, and eventually be moved into someone else’s queue for a fresh view. As we neared the final stage of polishing, our team was already on a roll and we realized that, for the next project, everything would run much smoother, from planning and forecasting to role assignation and collaboration.2. Independent game concept under Square Enix Collective publishing dealWe were lucky to sign a publishing deal with Square Enix Collective which gave us complete creative freedom, but with much needed fixed milestones. On top of that, Square Enix offered high-quality QA which got us through the pains of consoles TRC (we'll talk more about this in challenges below).3. Getting the story out thereThis is an area where we really can’t complain. Around launch, we had pretty much every big publication we ever dreamt of covering Black The Fall. A big thank you goes to our PR experts: Craig (Kartridge), Stefano and Keith (both from Renaissance PR); and Square Enix’s lovely community managers Amy, Cat and Ria, with whom we had a nice and smooth collaboration. A couple of months before launch we created a long brief on the game concept so they could pitch it to people interested in the topic. The requests coming their way together with all the review requests coming directly to us made for a nice mix to keep everyone busy day and night for a couple of weeks. As well as that, in 2016 we showcased Black The Fall at more than ten events in US, Europe and Asia, getting to meet many of our players and introduce our game to puzzle aficionados all over the world. 4. Brainstorming and brushing upFor every game character and new game chapter we had a brainstorming process that worked really well for us (thoroughly described here). This helped us choose, in a democratic and meritocratic manner, the winning concept and throw away the useless ones. This is vital, especially when you’re working on your first game and you want your all-time favorite game elements to be included. Talking about keeping clean, we also developed a system that would help us brush-up the scenes to get the best possible player experience.WHAT WENT WRONG1. Early Access is not for everyoneWhen you’re new in the development and the publishing business, you feel like trying it all, but some actions have long-lasting consequences. For example, launching your game on Early Access as a way of testing it out and see how the audience receives it. But we didn’t consider the game’s replayability, the prospect of completely changing the initial prototype after a couple of months or that we might launch the final game three years after Early Access.Our Early Access ran for about three months, but we had to close it as we were about to launch our Kickstarter campaign, which doesn’t fit in at all with the idea behind Early Access. Additionally, a bug we couldn’t have anticipated is that somewhere in the Steam back-end the game is recorded to have launched on July 4, 2014, rather than July 11, 2017. This severely affected the game showing up on any Steam chart or list. That was a worry because a lot of websites pull their data directly from Steam, and it also meant the game showed up as having launched in 2014 on Humble Bundle as well.We slowly figured all of this out after the launch and got it fixed, but the visibility you get on Steam for clean launching the game was forever lost to us. However, there’s plenty of documentation on Steam visibility and strategies to adopt, so there’s still work that to be done.2. Launch TimingThe perfect launch date is something of a mythical sweet spot: it doesn’t actually exist, but you can plan to get as close to it as possible. Common sense is to avoid launching shortly before or immediately after competitors, or around triple-A games that are everyone’s sweethearts like Overwatch or Battlefield. Another obvious one is to avoid winter holidays and end of November, but a sneaky one is avoiding spring and summer sales. If you want to launch on three platforms at the same time, then you’ll need to make sure you find a date when all platforms can support your launch with a banner on the homepage, a blog post, or some sort of promotion. 3. Console port planningSpeaking of consoles, even though Unity is our best friend when it comes to porting, do bear in mind the TRC’s you need to meet for each platform. Complying with this thick set of rules can take longer than polishing to get a decent frame rate on Xbox One. Porting to consoles took us around four months -- double the anticipated two-month window we’d allocated for it -- though we had two strong allies: Adrian, our programmer dedicated to working on porting the game, and our second ally: Square Enix’s QA team, based in Canada. I can also dare to assume that if Square Enix Collective hadn’t been our publisher, somehow this TRC compliance thing would’ve taken even longer. 4.
