Was working on a custom camera for a cutscene in Lexa and right now it looks like she went to a planetarium show and can't find her seat.

It’s PAX Day 3! We’re showing off Project Lexa all weekend at PAX Rising. Look for the hanging PAX Rising banner to find us and other great indies!

It’s the first day of PAX East! If you want to check out Project Lexa as well as a bunch of other great indie games, come by PAX Rising — Booth 13097!

We're proud to be using @yarnspinner.dev to help drive our dialogue system in Project Lexa! Check out our game as well as tons of other great projects on the Yarn Spinner showcase! yarnspinner.dev/showcase/pro...

yarnspinner.devProject Lexa is powered by Yarn SpinnerA sci-fi language mystery about deciphering an alien glyph language to uncover the fate of a missing colony

Every few days when someone gets a moment, we add a few new games to the Yarn Spinner showcase. We still have a huge list to get through, but it's such a fun little job and the page is looking so great already! yarnspinner.dev/showcase/

That's right, Project Lexa will be playable again as a part of Leftfield Collection, this time at EGX / MCM Comic Con Birmingham! It will be playable all weekend, November 28th through the 30th.

It’s Day 2 of EGX x MCM Comic Con, and we’re over at the Leftfield Collection showing off Project Lexa! If you’re looking for Leftfield, look for this logo on the outer walls of our section. 👇👇👇

With Grand Theft Auto 6 delayed and out of the way, we can finally announce that… we still don’t have a release date for Project Lexa. Or even a name, for that matter.

Leading the team is Captain Billon “Bill” Maddox! Seasoned yet not so sure of himself, Maddox has been tasked with captaining this small crew on a low pressure reconnaissance mission. Surely nothing bad will happen!

And rounding out the crew is the ship’s assigned M.A.R.C. unit. M.A.R.C. — or the Multitool Armament for Robotic Consultation — is a helpful, but chatty, robot that has just as much chance to help the crew as get in their way!

Need someone who knows everything about weapons and armaments? Seric Boltzmann’s your guy. The crew’s weapons officer is a seasoned vet that isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty — or even crack a joke every once in a while!

Making sure the crew stays safe and healthy is serious business! That’s why they’re happy to have onboard Mo Babbitt, the ship’s no-nonsense medical officer.

You’ll be playing as Lex Kelza, an “interface specialist” in the world of Project Lexa. Interface specialists handle all things communication — managing comms devices, conducting diplomatic missions, and translating languages! We think that last one will be pretty important during the game...

One of your crewmates is engineer Clarke Jansky. Extremely talented but always nervous, Jansky handles all things technological. He even built his own prosthetic arm!

It’s been amazing getting to work with the team at Ward Games, and I’m super excited to see how this project continues to develop! 🤘❤️🤘

Without any audio, our game would be as quiet as the vacuum of space! That’s why we have our incredible composer, Chris Lucca (@flipluka.bsky.social), who’s helping give Project Lexa an awesome soundscape and soundtrack!

Next we have Nick Nazzaro (@thenazzaro.bsky.social) joining us as Project Lexa’s art director! With years of experience in both tabletop and animation, Nick’s virtuosity in visuals helps create the world of Project Lexa! Be sure to check out the above post for some awesome concept art by him!

The third member of our Project Lexa crew is Kate Gray (@hownottodraw.bsky.social), narrative designer extraordinaire! Kate’s been helping with telling Project Lexa’s story and giving each member of the game’s cast a voice, and we’re so lucky to have her helping us out!

But a game is nothing without the great folks that help make it! So here’s a thread of all the awesome people currently working on Project Lexa. 🧵

You are up to date.
