Accidental Queens on Alt-Frequencies and Importance in Today’s Media Landscape

Prime Gaming is kicking off 2021 with a fresh collection of free games and in-game content for your favorite titles! As part of the January free games with Prime line-up, Prime members can claim the unique audio mystery Alt-Frequencies by French development studio Accidental Queens. We sat down with Accidental Queens founders Diane Landais and Miryam Houali to learn more about Alt-Frequencies’ highly relevant message and their advice to budding game developers. Game Jam Beginnings Lille-based game development studio Accidental Queens was founded in 2017 by developers Diane Landais, Miryam Houali and Elizabeth Maler, with the studio’s origins traced back to a game jam the year prior. “I loved the creativity involved in video games and would often think about them in my free time, but did not envision ever starting my own studio,” said Landais. In 2016, Landais participated in Global Game Jam, and in just 48 hours created a fun and unique prototype that would serve as the basis for the studio’s first game. The prototype was praised by players and media alike, and Landais focused her efforts on finishing the game and starting up Accidental Queens. Along the way, Houali came on board and the studio managed to earn over 10K€ to complete their game, and even signed a publishing deal. Their first project, A Normal Lost Phone, was well received upon its release and led to the official formation of Accidental Queens in mid-2017. “It was exciting seeing the reception from players, and I was glad that the game’s message resonated with players,” said Landais. <a href="https://primegaming.blog/accidental-queens-on-alt-frequencies-and-importance-in-todays-media-landscape-e9350e1de254">Click Here</a>
