As you may remember, Hopetown was the successor to De Kinda, you worked as a journalist in the mining town and had a “psychological geography system” that replaced traditional mechanisms such as keys and levers as tools to unlock doors, change landscapes and reshape relationships”.
The fresh trailer doesn't tell us more, but it does see the original disco language narrator Lenval Brown saying some words as the camera pours an artistic rendered corridor of a man full of debate before one's protagonist. Longdue brought Brown to the game's “key character” and was “closely related to the project”.

“It's so nice to go back to something new, there's nothing like bringing the world to life and shaping a story that's been waiting for a speech,” Brown said.
It also brought in another former disco developer working with narrative director Grant Roberts and technical director Piotr Sobolewski, among others, and later in the trailer, joining the Hopetown team with Martin Luiga, editor of the original disco.
“I’m happy to share my experience with Lange to help them develop narratives and systems for Hopetown, play the narratives that have been achieved by the RPG genre of narratives so far and try to innovate them to tell a wealthy story in an equal part based on what was, what was and its abilities,” Luiga said. “I’m full of confidence,” I’m full of confidence, “I’m able to provide a worthwhile Westerner.
