How was Disco Elysium really made?

Our narrative lead Martin Luiga, a founding ZA/UM member, shares the untold story:
✨ Meeting Robert Kurvitz in 2001
✨ The chaotic early dev days
✨ Playtesting Elysium in pen-and-paper sessions
✨ Why freedom shaped Disco's DNA

"Disco Elysium is a fruit of many people fighting aggressively for their own personal freedom."

Martin's approach influences everything we're building in Hopetown.

Our latest blog post is live! We're On The Record with senior writer Gerard, who is helping shape the tangled narrative threads of Hopetown.

From inspirations drawn from books, games, and real-world influences, to what it means to write for a “psychological RPG driven by story, depth, and danger,” he shares how narrative forms the backbone of the town.

[Longdue Games @longduegames]

It’s a little surreal to see Hopetown mentioned by both The Financial Times and The New York Times recently.

For our small team at Longdue, it’s a reminder of why we’re making narrative games — to explore perception, truth, power, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

We’re honoured to see Hopetown recognised among projects shaping the next generation of story-driven RPGs.

The past leaves its stitches on the future.

Fashion in Hopetown pulls from real historical British style movements, but twists them through an alternate timeline. Expect grit and grandeur, practical wear and symbolic flair.

From coal-slick coats to heritage punk influences, every piece tells a story.
