Less than 2 months, GoPro, a cool idea and team - everything you need to make a first-person game
Six months ago, over a cup of coffee, the programmer, the director, and the game designer had a friendly conversation on the subject of cinema becoming boring.
And, as they say, it started ...
Less than a day after the publication [of the game ], more than 13,000 people have already played it. What have we done?
Actually, we realized this idea - managing the fate of the hero in a real film. It depends on the player / viewer what the end of our film game is. Will the main character become the author of breakthrough technology or surrender at the first obstacle? You can live the fascinating life in the city of high technology Innopolis without getting up from your favorite chair.
Why on video? Why not set the game environment and complete freedom of action?
We came to the conclusion that such games already exist. Of course, we wanted to show the state-of-the-art infrastructure of Innopolis University in reality, and nothing gives a greater effect of presence than high-quality video, and you can’t get stuck in textures.

Why not just a video, but a game?
Videos can do everything, from Innopolis, of course, they expect more. We searched and found a team of daring and young professionals who were able to realize a unique product for us.
A little less than two months passed from the first day of filming (on GoPro, by the way).
We were lucky, in the days of filming Yevgeny Kaspersky came to our University, [ we laid out the recording of his lecture here ], and he agreed to take part in them.
Simple operation does not make passing the game easy. At the current moment only 50 people (out of thirteen thousand) were able to complete the game completely.
All you need is to quickly scroll with the mouse and press the desired keyboard keys that fly out in the process.
After each mistake, the hero falls into self-esteem. You can try to play [ here ].

Yes, the special effects are getting steeper, the amount of D is getting bigger, but with this you can surprise small ones. People cling plot. Now imagine that someday we will watch movies that can be controlled?

“I wouldn’t have thrown away my elder wand and become a bad wizard.”
“And I would use the flywheel of time in place of Potter to save his parents, not Kluvokryla.”
