North Mist Studios, an indie studio founded in Canada by former BioWare narrative veterans, has begun sharing the development of its first game through a narrative podcast called The Concierge. The series, described as a near‑future spy thriller, serves as a prequel audio drama that explores the game's setting and invites listener feedback to shape the world.
The developers are using the podcast alongside Patreon crowdfunding while working on an in‑engine trailer slated for release this summer. By exposing their world‑building process early, they aim to involve fans directly and sustain development without waiting for a finished product.
