The speculative city of Muziris is under pressure. Powerful corporations, political interests and selfish billionaires all looking out for themselves. But the city could be ours, the people’s, once more. It’s up to us to take it back.

Power to the people! All Will Rise is about the strength of ordinary people and the power they hold in society when they come together. We’re tired of out-of-touch billionaires thinking they’re in charge. Are you?

Our goal is to sometimes be very cute but never ever harmless, no.

A favorite collaboration has been with Kolkata based fashion designer LataSita, led by Meghna Nayak, who make futuristic clothing out of old sarees. Meghna N. advised us on our characters' fashion (example of her notes). Check them out: www.instagram.com/latasita #fashion #indiedev #gamedecv #design

While building your case in All Will Rise, it’s good to know where you stand with the people around you. We’ve added character biographies and relationship statuses, helping you keep track of the people of Muziris.

This opens up all kinds of opportunities. For instance, what's up with Rishabh's spiritual yearnings?

The energy of this has a lot of parallels with how we imagined Kuyili meeting Rishabh, the VP of the company destroying the river in Muziris. He's surrounded by vultures and so started for real charisma and charm that Kuyili makes a big impact on him. @meghna.bsky.social #writing #gamedev #indiedev

Our world is a place of mystery and myth as much as courtroom drama and political strategy. Ecological destruction has profound spiritual reverberations. Kuyili, for all her irony and sharp playfulness, is sensitive to this reality. #IndieDev #GameDev #mysticism #spirituality #IndieGames

So much to do, so little time. In Kerala, there are a lot of missions you can send Kuyili and her team on. But even we will admit that this would be an overwhelming Monday. Still, the team have to start somewhere!

Another variation: 'Actually, I want to party' popping up in random places. ALSO relatable.

We just found a bug where the line 'I want to destroy something' is part of EVERY set of dialogue choices in the game. Sadly, @hugobille.bsky.social fixed the bug, with some regret in his heart. Nevertheless, a relatable sentiment. #IndieGame #IndieDev #politics

Over the last few months, our team has put a lot of effort into updating our character models, UI and more. It’s great to see the game coming together and looking good (if we do say so ourselves)!

People outside the world of indie games are typically not so familiar with the idea of deck building in video games, and sometimes assume we are building a physical card game. Our new business cards are not helping (but we love them):

Sometimes, though, you want to be careful, and not show your hand, so to speak. Just like people, even antagonists, can let information slip to you, you can benefit your opponents in the same way.

One of the best things is - you can come back to conversations. So that means that even in a conversation where you did not get everything you wanted, you'll still get more cards - more info, more approaches, which you can take to other battles. And come back stronger and more informed. #indiegames

This means that All Will Rise is a game about getting to know multidimensional people through card battles. And because of the way @meghna.bsky.social writes these people, there is a lot do discover - things that are serious and funny as hell #narrativedesign #gamedev #deckbuilding #psychology

Just like in real life, people can really surprise you once you get past their first public personas, their automatic defenses and masks. They may offer unexpected help, leads, or insights. #psychology #gamedev #indiedev #deckbuilding

Part of the great fun of designing All Will Rise is to hide all kinds of unexpected twists and turns in your card battle conversations with people. What will happen if you engage their hearts? Or guts? If you mention their upcoming wedding, or the death of their brother? #psychology #gamedev

Your cards represent strategies - are you playing more on a person's understanding of a situation (minds), their empathy (hearts) or their anger or courage (guts)? People are sensitive to different approaches - and the way you build your deck is also a way to give shape to Kuyili. #Indiegames

The cards that people hold become a way for us to help express what people care most about. For instance, in your first conversation with the community-minded fisherman Shabeer you find that he's hesitant to speak about the river burning, so he tells you stories about his daughters instead. #gamedev

The deckbuilding approach also allows us to mix very different things - evidence for the case with emotional strategies to encourage people to open up or to become more sympathetic to your cause. These are represented by different types of cards.
