Creators Diary


So, let's share how Longing For Tranquility was conceived. Well, we are working on Clean-Up Crew now for some time and always had in mind to create additional content like adventure modules for Clean-Up Crew. But we didn't have the right inspiration - until a conversation was moving towards the topic of peace and quiet, and how many of us just want to experience this again in their lives. I was in the just the right mood and produced the line that we are all Longing For Tranquility* and as I hit send I realized what a kick-ass title this is.

From there is was just a flood of ideas: I immediately had the Retirony trope in my head, the trope about the officer about to leave their job and then something bad happens. The next two days, I spend about 15 hours writing, designing and layouting to make sure Longing For Tranquility will fit on a single page - because of course I was going to put it into a one-page game jam. This jam happens to be the Tiny Tome jam - and It would be amazing to see Longing For Tranquility in print, because it is gorgeous! I know this sounds like bragging (and it maybe is a bit) but the feedback I received in messages about Longing For Tranquility all mentioned how well done the layout is and how concise it looks.

One more thing: All the names of Milvus and the two rookie characters are based on the Latin names of rare birds from the nature reserve around my hometown - because Milvus is a Valk and that's the way we think.
