What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“With early access, episodes can be released as they become available. This is a story based game, but player feedback is always a benefit.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to exit Early Access somewhere in 2024, and aim to address issues and bugs through small updates.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Depending on reception we plan to make a second art pass and improve the visuals, namely, adding more character animations and expressions, while still maintaining everything already written as to not change the story.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The first episode of the game is done. Getting feedback on the game will give us an idea of how much we can invest into the next parts, mostly in hand-drawn animation and cinematography.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“There are no plans for price differences, since money is the biggest roadblock, the price will not change after full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Finding bugs, technical problems and improving user experience.
We have a solid vision, so we will not make any changes to the story based on player feedback. That being said, we will keep an eye out for what characters the community is more interested in, and maybe explore them a bit more.”

  • Get emotionally involved with the characters and their relationship over the years
  • Original soundtrack influenced by traditional Portuguese music and Math rock

The story

Follow a group of players who meet in an online game. They have different situations, but end up with a common goal, to exploit a loophole and make a living playing videogames

Set in a fictional game, with a similar virtual economy to TF2 where players trade skins and hats often even ignoring the actual game and
Inspired by our own experiences growing up playing MMOs like WoW, runescape, and community server games like TF2, Gmod, just to name a few

Beyond the story

One of the game's main focus is the relationships our characters forge. Anyone that played online games growing up knows these thoughts: Does that community I hung out with still exist? I wonder if the guild is still active. And what about that homie that told the wildest jokes? Is he still alive? He probably got married and has kids now. Hey he's online... No, I'm not gonna send anything, he probably doesn't even remember me. What if the other side thinks the same?

Friends we still remember, but never met face to face. Hundreds, for some thousands, of hours with people who one day might just have their last match together, their last raid, without even knowing it. "GG see you tomorrow", last seen online 10 years ago.
Where is everyone, and how are they doing? Do they remember? Convento is a love letter not just to videogames, but to the gaming community as a whole.
