Nickolas Jaques is the composer, sound designer, and associate producer on Aspire: Ina's Tale (2021), developed by Wondernaut Studio and published by Untold Tales. Aspire: Ina's Tale is a non-combate, 2D, narrative-driven, puzzle platformer with sci-fi and fantasy elements in its setting, characters, and lore. I absolutely loved the game. I bought and completed it on both PC and Switch.
In today's episode we will dicsuss narrative, non-combat game design, finding an audience, sound design, save systems, the benefits of experimentation, and much more.
