Sponsor Reveal - Turbo!
May 13, 2025
Hello all joiners and submitters! The jurors continue to be hard at work evaluating your submissions - but I come bearing amazing news. I’m excited to announce our second sponsor, Turbo!
Turbo is a new 2D game engine built for making games fast! We provide a simple set of tools to get your ideas up and running so you can spend more time designing, playing and sharing your games!
They’ll also be giving an in-person workshop at 3:00PM on June 20th at the Arch Street Meeting House to kick off the NarraScope conference. The schedule will be kept actively updated here - narrascope.org/schedule. Here’s a short description of the workshop:
Turbo staff will introduce you to how Turbo can be used to make games quickly, iterate on the fly, and seamlessly export to the web! We’ll walk through the key functions and concepts that you need to know, and then demonstrate how our live-coding environment helps you prototype and iterate. Then we’ll take a look at some of Turbo’s multiplayer features, that let you connect your game to a server and share data between players!
Lastly, NarraScope’s own JD Calvelli will show mrdirector, his package for creating narrative games inside of Turbo. He’ll go over its functionality, and talk about his time working with Turbo and how he’s thinking about making networked narrative games.
As mentioned in our last sponsor reveal - the Showcase, much like the Conference itself, is entirely volunteer run, and all sponsorship is going towards offsetting the cost of hosting the event, the awards for our category winners, and towards supporting the Conference itself and further Conferences and Showcases. So, thank you so much, Turbo. We wouldn’t be able to make the NarraScope Showcase possible without you!
Talk soon,
vel
TLDR: Revealing sponsor - Turbo!
