In episode six of Living In The Map, Regrid CEO Jerry Paffendorf & Regrid Geographic Data Manager Matthew Klovski chat with Yuts / Geography of Robots, and creator of the video game NORCO.

Set in a fictionalized version of metro Louisiana, NORCO by Geography of Robots is a surreal, narrative-driven video game, where players experience the daily life of a resident in the midst of a mysterious, apocalyptic event. 

“I wanted to create a world where the rules aren’t always clear, where things aren’t always what they seem, and where the player is encouraged to explore and discover things for themselves.”

They discuss Yut’s process of developing the game’s narrative and characters, and how he was able to draw inspiration from his own experiences and the unique culture of the region. 

“It’s really exciting to see people engage with the world you’ve created and bring their own perspectives and experiences to it.”
