Yes, give it a try. I'm not too sure about Mac issues, maybe @ashgames.com can help since they did the porting?

Does it happen in the campfire scenes? If so, go to the settings and turn off the dynamic shadows.

Funnily enough that wasn’t an intentional reference! I just googled “angel draped on tomb” and found a bunch like this

Lamplight City et Rosewater se passent dans un même univers steampunk et sont géniaux. Si vous aimez les point'n click, go !
Les scénarios, les personnages et les dialogues sont vraiment super bien écrits.

But it’s completely realistic to spend five or even four figures on your VO budget with this contract.

Going Union Part 2: How Indies Can Hire Top-Tier Talent And Not Break Their
Budget
Francisco González
In the years since my NarraScope 2023 talk, SAG-AFTRA has gone on strike to obtain better protection for voice actors against AI and developed a new version of their contract. I'll explain the new contract, and provide personal experience of the casting, directing, and production process for both my game Rosewater and a work-for-hire project, Foolish Mortals.
Working with union actors is within financial reach and less bureaucratically complicated than indie developers might imagine.

This June! Albany! I’m speaking at @narrascope.org!

An update to my 2023 talk, I’ll be outlining the process of how easy it is for tiny indies to work with SAG-AFTRA voice talent.

Text: The Well-Edited Game: How Professional Editing Elevates Our Medium
Jess Haskins, Marissa Koors
Editing is an integral part of the creative process in traditional media. But in games, editorial responsibilities are scattered across disciplines or skipped altogether. What do game editors actually do? Are editors only for narrative games? How does editing interact with other aspects of production? What should you consider before working with an editor? We’ll demystify the editorial process and make the case for including editors in every game’s development. We’ll break down the different types of editing, highlight successful interventions from past projects, and share why we believe 2026 is the year of the game editor.

Hey, I'm gonna be speaking at @narrascope.org in Albany in June! I'm delighted to team up with fellow editor Marissa Koors to dig into the hot new trend of having your game edited and how you can get in on the craze. 2026, year of the game editor!
