OUR FIRST LudoNarraCon ARCHIVE
About the event
LudoNarraCon is a digital convention celebrating narrative video games, hosted on Steam. An initiative of indie label Fellow Traveller, it aims to create a platform to showcase and celebrate interesting and innovative narrative games, replicating as many of the aspects and benefits of the physical convention experience as possible within a digital format.
Game Booths
Developers and publishers streamed live on their games' Steam store pages with behind-the-scenes content, couch chats, and demo gameplay. Fans got a look at the game without dealing with a crowded exhibition floor.
Panels
There was be a main theatre stage on the event landing page on Steam, that aired 6-8 hours of live panels with industry influencers. These focused on (fun!) topics related to the narrative games genre.
All streams went live at the launch of the con, and will then be looped through the remainder of the event, so no matter when fans "attend," they can enjoy behind-the-scenes content about exciting upcoming indie games.
Media Involvement
Media pass holders could access a press portal giving early access to press kits, media-ready demos, and interview opportunities
Event Sale
A LudoNarraCon Sale was live on Steam during the event, with more than 40 discounted games.
