Nosso intrépido fundador, produtor e faxineiro foi lá trocar uma ideia com o pessoal e vocês não vão acreditar no que rolou.

... Ah, a quem estamos enganando? Muita conversa, inspiração e troca de experiências.

Prestigie seus indies.

"What have you been up to, BNW?" We're glad you asked! Here's a FULL REVEAL of the games we were working on.

Also, we're testing this new tool that transforms pictures into something completely different if the viewer is affected by NDA.

Our intrepid founder has participated in a specialist-led panel to assist Brazil's Ministry of Labour and Employment in officially recognizing Narrative Designer, Game Designer & Visual Art as jobs - a good step forward in the wake of 2024's Legal Framework for Video Games.

It's happening, y'all!

Also, friends from English-speaking countries, here's a translated version of the Brazilian Association of Narrative Designers and Game Writers.

In the end, Narrative professionals from all over the world deserve respect an recognition!

Não deveria ser surpresa pra vocês, mas a Brand New Whatever apoia esta iniciativaa.

Desde 2020, a Brand New Whatever luta pelo conhecimento e reconhecimento da disciplina de Narrativa em videogames - e é claro que estamos 100% a bordo desta iniciativa. o/

Brand New Whatever is proud to announce DONKEY KONG BANANZA will be purchased on day 1 by all of its employees.

Getting funding to develop video games isn't that hard, y'all.

'memba when ONE NIGHT IN KAWAMI got voiced reactions by
@jonnalynnalonso.com (Tanya), @callmedashawn.bsky.social (Gilbert), @vanessabenvo.bsky.social (Inga) & casting director @moyceover.bsky.social (Mohawkadour)?

Oh, yeah. It was back on... that dead bird website. Yuck.

Follow 'em! #VisitKawami

Our best friend, our pal, our homeboy, our rotten soldier, our sweet cheese, our good time boy @jigu.com.br has something to announce. #TownOfZoz #HumbleGames #StayHumble

We're happy to announce that all of Brand New Whatever's original titles have earned this award.

Fellow devs, will you join us in letting your player base know your game features #NoGenAI?

O podcast Frequência Gamer recebeu TODOS* os funcionários da Brand New Whatever para discutir o uso de IA em escrita para jogos. O resultado você ouve no episódio 3, "Enredo ou inteligência artificial?". Mas ouçam tudo, bons insights do assunto com muitos convidados!

* no caso, o @jigu.com.br

Since we placed our tentpole on the ground, we aimed to support devs of all sizes and walks of life to fulfill their narrative needs.

While seeing this is disheartening for the discipline, creator, be mindful of how you might get ahead of the curve by hiring folks like us. #GameWriting #IndieDev

David Lynch was, is, and will always be an essential part of BNW's inception.

"How?". Look it up if you'd like and you'll find out. Still, this isn't about us at all.

Watch Lynch's movies, TV shows, enjoy his art, and witness the beauty, horror, and wonder of being. #DavidLynch #RIP

In order to reach a wider audience, ONE NIGHT IN KAWAMI is getting patched to remove all DEI content.

The story will remain the same, but all characters will be replaced by Mohawkadour.

[Release Date: NEVER, because Brand New Whatever isn't made of bigots, not caters to this demographic.]

Quando a Garoa Studios anuncia algo, a gente presta atenção:

Who wouldn't love to carry Tanya around everywhere, huh?

ONE NIGHT IN KAWAMI is *finally* back to Android devices via Google Play - including the Voices of Kawami sound update!

#VisitKawami #Android #PlayStore #VN #RenPy #VisualNovel

The Steam Autumn Sale is live - and we're thankful for those who played One Night in Kawami!

We're also slashing 50% off the price of the Superfan Pack, its digital artbook!

Onde a gente assina?

Olhaí o nosso intrépido* @jigu.com.br dando um depoimento para o "Fala, Dev!" - reunindo a nata da cena independente de desenvolvimento de games no Brasil.

Não deixe de seguir o @brindies.com.br pra ver isso e muito mais! 😊 #BrIndies #GameDev #IndieDevs #VisitKawami

If you play Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising and see this NPC wearing a plaid shirt with rolled-up sleeves and cargo shorts, that's @jigu.com.br - other team members from Flux Games are there, too! #CobraKai2 #Cameo #NPC

Take it away, founder!

(Feel free to follow Jigu, too - let's say his profile is more... active than BNW's.)

DID YOU KNOW?

During the development of One Night in Kawami, the placeholder art for the mysterious guitarist in the end was the amazing Mdou Moctar? Yes, the Tuareg singer & composer and the one accountable for the TITANIC riff for "Tarhatazed".

Unfamiliar with his music? Homework time.

E fica aí o convite pra seguir nosso perfil no Itch - é pouco, mas é de coração. E vai saber quando aparece algo novo por lá... 👀
