[Con-info] Introducing Natalia Martinsson as the keynote speaker for NarraScope 2019

[Andrew Plotkin]

We are delighted to announce our keynote speaker! Natalia Martinsson of 
Killmonday Games will kick off NarraScope in June.

     https://www.killmondaygames.com/

Natalia is an illustrator, animator, and the designer of indie hit _Fran 
Bow_ and the upcoming _Little Misfortune_. Together with her partner Isak 
Martinsson, she creates adventure games with a sparkling mix of childhood 
whimsy and gruesome nightmare.

     You may pet a doggy, a fishy, a wolfie, the Kraken, the kitty
     and the foxy.

Natalia will speak about shaping games with emotional intelligence. Her 
approach to character design colors every aspect of Killmonday's games -- 
writing, narrative design, even the studio workplace and production 
process.

We look forward to hearing Natalia speak and welcoming her into the 
NarraScope conversation!

By the way, we've gotten several inquiries about video recording of the 
NarraScope presentations. Karsten Feyerabend of articy Software 
has volunteered to record some of the talks. (With the permission of the 
speakers, of course.) He can't cover the entire conference, but we should 
be able to get a selection of the talks online. We'll let you know the 
details as we work them out.

Thanks to articy Software for helping with this! Hopefully in future years 
we'll be able to expand our recording capabilities.
