History
"More than fifteen different people where involved in the making of Answer Knot. "Why" I hear you ask, because I had no clue how to do things at the time.
Answer Knot can be considered more of a school project that a business one. Not that I attended any school to make it, let's say I was my own student and teacher."
- Julia Jean, quoting herself

About Naraven
"At the time of Answer Knot, Naraven didn't exist. It was just friends with free time trying to make a first game. Maybe you don't want to write that down in your paper.
Coming from the film industry, I shifted to making games as telling stories is my passion, but telling interactive stories has become my life goal."
- Julia Jean, again, quoting herself
