Welcome to Dissident Interactive!

Hey there and welcome to the Dissident blog...

My name is Melissa and I'm the producer and community manager here at Dissident. I've been here for 3 weeks, redesigning and cleaning up this new site with our creative director, Marc. Now that we've finally settled on a look that we love, we wanted to get on here and properly introduce ourselves!

We’re an independent game studio located in Montreal, Canada and we specialize in creating narrative based games - with our own special twist of course. Dissident is all about expanding on and transforming the typical limitations of game design. We’re not afraid to approach game design with an open mind because especially in today’s age, the sky's the limit. Whether it’s our own projects or something we’re working on for a client, it’s a philosophy that we apply to everything we do.

We’re currently working on a number of projects, including a platform adventure game called MEMORIES and an asymmetrical co-op horror called ZERO. MEMORIES follows Ess and the harrowing journey she takes to save her child after a devastating bombing in (location?) turns their world upside down. ZERO follows Francis and SIX, his AI companion, after both face abandonment from their supposed homes and find themselves in the City of Zero, an island purgatory for fleeing refugees and outcasts.

What can you expect in this space, you might ask? Well, that entirely depends on what we’re up to on any given day! We do know that we hope to post more than just dev updates here and go beyond the long and detailed blog posts. Some Days it might be more vlog style while on others, we might share a collection of photos or an audio file.

Keep an eye on the wall on our homepage to see what mischief we get up to! And thanks for checking us out - we appreciate the support :)

See you soon!

-The Dissident Team
