All these things are miracles - what's a few more, to get this thing done?" Luther Patenge - I sadly missed the opportunity to photograph him the day he wore his period gown Having a successful Kickstarter campaign is a miracle. "We joke that we have already performed so many miracles to get to this point. Everything takes so much longer than you would hope. "But also, when you're with a small team, any delay magnifies massively - because if one person gets sick, an entire division is functionally shut down. "We needed more room to iterate on some of the core design elements than we thought, and unfortunately, iteration with a small team takes more time than you would hope, because you have less hands to work on everything," Patenge says. When the team eventually ran out of runway, they were picked up by Humble to get the support they needed to finish it off. In 2016, they launched a successful Kickstarter campaign with plans for a 2018 launch. "When you're with a small team, any delay magnifies massively - if one person gets sick, an entire division is functionally shut down"īut the others felt it had promise. Patenge had been working on a prototype of Ambition as a way to teach himself Unity, and showed up one night at the group's regular Dungeons & Dragons game with what he had so far - at the time, "blue squares seducing white squares." When her fiancé goes missing, protagonist Yvette must learn to navigate society, advance her position, and remain safe during a time of political upheaval - all while staying fashionable and potentially wooing one of six eligible new suitors.Īmbition came about when Patenge, along with fellow developers Michael Seltzer and Alexandria Kairis, left their positions at mobile company Kabam in search of personal career satisfaction. Patenge's attire isn't just head-turning - it's entirely appropriate to his studio's game about a "woman of fashion" living in pre-Revolutionary France. He's wearing an enormous, light blue gown in a style he defines as "Rococo Lolita," complete with a tall white wig.

Indulging in my love for period music, I embraced the styles and sounds that would have been heard in Paris on the eve of the Revolution, and the twists and turns of Ambition's story allowed me the opportunity to write for an array of unique, historical ensembles, each one serving a purpose to give voice to the feuding factions struggling over France's future. Orders for the soundtrack began shipping on December 15th, 2022.Īmbition: A Minuet in Power's score represents more than four years of work, the skills of over 30 incredibly talented individuals, and a thrilling flight of fancy back to the late 18th century.
