Solace State Director Tanya Kan will be participating in TWO panels at this year’s LudoNarraCon, presented by Fellow Traveller! We think fans of Solace State will definitely be fascinated by this year’s topics, so check them out below.
If you haven't heard of it before, LudoNarraCon is a fantastic free digital convention by Fellow Traveller, celebrating all kinds of narrative games.📚 We’ve attended in the past and are thrilled to be back this year.

First up: Cyberpunk was a hot topic this year. Let's talk diversity in the cyberpunk genre.
These diverse developers from Solace State, Umurangi Generation, Love Shore, and VA-11 Hall-A discuss how to use aesthetics, narrative, and game mechanics to build meaningful speculative fictions about marginalized groups that challenge the status quo. Hosted by Tanya Kan, featuring Christopher Ortiz, Naphtali Faulkner, and Son M.!
Tune in to this panel on Friday, April 23rd, 2-3pm PT!
In our second panel, we invite you to learn directly from the indie game narrative experts! How can we think about writing and creating game narratives that initiate change?✏️ Hosted by Jenny Windom, featuring Cara Hillstock, Picogram, and Tanya Kan!
