The author of Smoota about gaming in Russia: "We are now standing back to back, men, holding the fort"
He said that the release of the game Smoota, for which the Internet Development Institute has allocated more than 500 million roubles, will take place at the end of this year.
In addition, he made a peculiar assessment of the state of the game industry in Russia. Here is his quote in its entirety:
How has the situation changed over the past year? I will tell you as a developer. Education at all different levels has been set up. We, the developers, have overcome panic. Several gaming associations have emerged. The situation now is unique. As Winston Churchill said, every crisis brings new opportunities. It is practically visible now.
Firstly, we have started to actively communicate, help each other, share some resources, recommendations, books, information. If before we were somehow communicating at conferences, but it was still some kind of commercial confrontation, now we are, as I came up with this maxim: we are the third militia.
The second militia is the Nizhny Novgorod militia, which drove the Poles out of Moscow, and we are now standing back to back, men, holding down the fort so that everything will work out well for us in the future. We have managed to establish a peaceful full-time production. We already know how to make games; now, in the words of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, we need to make useful games filled with historical meaning.
