How the builders of Stalker 2 weathered the Ukraine battle to make their recreation | The DeanBeat

If anybody can say they’ve had challenges making a recreation, the crew making S.T.A.L.Ok.E.R 2: The Coronary heart of Chornobyl could make that declare. And if it ships the sport to customers on November 20, that will probably be a victory in itself.

But the builders of GSC Sport World in Kyiv, Ukraine wish to ship this recreation to point out that they by no means gave up on a undertaking that has been getting into full gear for almost seven years and talked about even longer. They haven’t given up regardless that the crew was disrupted when Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale battle on February 24, 2022. Russia had attacked earlier than in 2014, seizing a few territories. However this was a battle for management of all of Ukraine, and the battle continues to today.

Builders needed to depart to go to battle. The electrical energy repeatedly went out and it nonetheless goes out in Kyiv, the place the majority of the crew is. Missiles repeatedly rained down on town and so they nonetheless do, with anti-missile rockets intercepting the incoming missiles earlier than they will do hurt.

If and after they ship their recreation, they need to be an inspiration for an trade that has had suffered via layoffs, declining gross sales, a pandemic, social media hate, and extra previously few years. If GSC Sport World can get this performed, then others can overcome their hurdles too, identical to these Ukraine athletes who received the medals for his or her nation within the Olympics.

I spoke with Ievgen Grygorovych, CEO of GSC Sport World, and Maria Grygorovych, artistic director at Gamescom. They’re a husband-and-wife crew, working one in every of Ukraine’s greatest and finest recognized recreation firms with 460 staff. But they’re simply an indie recreation studio. They unfold out into new places resembling Poland and Prague and elsewhere, with some working distant.

Ievgen’s brother Sergiy began GSC Sport World in 1995 as an organization that localized video games to the Russian market. It went on to create the Cossacks sequence of video games, and it started growing and publishing its personal in addition to third-party video games. Ievgen joined the corporate in 2001.

S.T.A.L.Ok.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl got here out in 2007 and it was successful as a first-person shooter. It mixed concepts from the novel Roadside Picnic with the actual world catastrophe of the Chornobyl nuclear meltdown, positing that this created a Zone the place hunters generally known as Stalkers may go to search out anomalous treasures. However they ran the chance of working into enemies together with monsters unleashed by the radioactive contamination.

Two extra Stalker video games got here out in 2008 and 2009, however none was known as Stalker 2. In reality, the prior CEO, who was Ievgen’s brother, requested him to make Stalker 2 and Ievgen stated no as a result of he didn’t assume the crew was able to tackle such a giant undertaking. The corporate introduced Stalker 2 in 2012, however that crew by no means completed and it was rebooted altogether in a while.

Ievgen finally relented. “It was a loopy enterprise resolution to begin this undertaking, however we have been certain that we’d do every thing doable,” Ievgen Grygorovych stated in our interview.

Abandoning earlier instructions, they created a plan and constructed a brand new crew. They labored on getting the script proper from the beginning. After six rewrites, they lastly began shifting ahead.

Even with out these exterior challenges, the sport was bold, even for builders who had been engaged on video games for many years. The crew began with new know-how. They got here up with a listing of duties and broke it down into a whole lot of hundreds of duties, Ievgen Grygorovych stated. By the tip of the method, a lot of their members of the family misplaced family members within the battle.

One Stalker 2 developer, Volodymyr Yezhov, was killed within the battle with Russia. In December 2022, he died in a battle close to Bakhmut, defending town from Russian attackers. GSC Gameworld has made quite a few donations to reason behind Ukraine and it solicits funds from guests to its web page as nicely.

Throughout all this time, they by no means thought-about shutting down the sport. They felt like a duty towards their nation to get it performed, to place Ukraine on the map of the sport improvement world. After they noticed their countrymen and ladies win medals on the Summer season Olympics, they have been proud, and so they need the nation to be pleased with their work on Stalker 2 — even to the purpose of utilizing the Ukrainian model of the spelling of Chornobyl (as an alternative of the Russian Chernobyl).

It’s been a tough highway and the longest journey. With some satisfaction, the Stalker 2 leaders joined an image with the Xbox European recreation dev crew in Cologne, Germany. What’s their final lesson? In recreation improvement, it’s important to actually love the method, Maria Grygorovych stated.

Right here’s an edited transcript of our interview. Disclosure: Devcom paid my the place to Cologne, the place I moderated a few panels on the Devcom developer occasion.

GamesBeat: How do you keep resilient sufficient to do that for such a very long time?

Ievgen Grygorovych: It’s a tough undertaking for us. It’s large. We began from scratch. We began with new know-how. We began earlier than the present technology of consoles appeared. We began with a principally new crew. We had a complete lack of expertise within the transfer to consoles. We have been a PC-only recreation developer earlier than. It was a loopy enterprise resolution to begin this undertaking, however we have been certain that we’d do every thing doable. We had quite a lot of expertise making video games. I’ve about 24 years making video games.

Prior to now we have been requested at completely different instances to make a Stalker 2. All of the earlier instances I refused to begin making it, as a result of it’s a really bold undertaking. The participant expectations can be very excessive. It might be a really lengthy journey, a really exhausting journey. Whenever you’re not very younger and also you perceive what that’s going to be like, the way you’d should work and the way tense it could be, it’s exhausting to say, “Sure, I’m prepared to do this.” Whenever you’re younger and skilled you don’t know what you’ll should undergo making this sort of recreation. You’re extra more likely to say sure.

The final time, we talked with Maria and we determined it was time to do it. We began from that time. It’s been a giant a part of our lifetime. From what I can see now, it’s going to be an excellent recreation. We’re pleased with what we may obtain. We didn’t anticipate that we’d do it, however we did it. We’re nonetheless a bit nervous. You by no means understand how gamers are going to take your recreation. However inside me I believe that we’ve performed every thing doable in our state of affairs.

We’re an unbiased developer. We’ve quite a lot of limitations that different builders won’t have. We’ve all of the conditions related to the battle with Russia. With all these difficulties, we’ve nonetheless come so far the place we’re close to the discharge. It’s been an extended journey.

GamesBeat: How lengthy have you ever labored on Stalker?

Maria Grygorovych: For me it’s been since 2017.

Ievgen Grygorovych: Sure, the identical for me.

GamesBeat: The primary set of video games, the primary three video games, did you’re employed on these?

Ievgen Grygorovych: I used to be working with the corporate, however on completely different video games at that time. I hadn’t been engaged on Stalker. However we sat simply close by. I used to be within the RTS improvement division, main the RTS line. I’ve been with GSC since 2001. I had labored there part-time earlier than, however 2001 is after I joined up as a full-time job.

Maria Grygorovych: I labored in cinema and TV earlier than I joined GSC. In 2016 they requested me to assist out for a few days. It’s been eight years since. I used to be a producer on some tasks at first.

Ievgen Grygorovych: She had expertise that might assist us with video games that have been approaching launch.

GamesBeat: When you concentrate on how lengthy it’s been, do you consider it as sure phases? Altering instructions or engaged on various things. How do you clarify the time concerned?

Ievgen Grygorovych: There’s a sure diploma of uncertainty right here. After we began, we didn’t have a blueprint for growing these sorts of video games. We began by writing a brand new plot and story. At first we needed to collect the crew that might do that undertaking. The primary huge discover was a narrative author. We discovered somebody with quite a lot of expertise within the improvement trade in Ukraine. He has far more expertise than I do. We bought began engaged on the story, and after we regarded on the first idea, we stated, “No, this isn’t Stalker 2.” We moved away from that and began once more.

Ultimately it was totally rewritten about six instances. These are lengthy tales. He’s an expert. He wasn’t afraid to drop all of it and begin once more. After these six instances, we had the story we wished to inform with our recreation. We have been pleased with it. It was very detailed. The entire historical past of this world, ranging from 1960 till the sport begins. That was the place we may begin.

Then we took on constructing the world map. We knew it could be an open world, however how huge? Is it 16 sq. kilometers or 64? It was a little bit loopy. We determined to do one thing greater than everybody normally does. We did eight kilometers on a facet, 64 sq. kilometers. It has quite a lot of underground places as nicely, quite a lot of tall buildings. There are areas above and beneath. General, the world is large.

Maria Grygorovych: I don’t assume we actually developed this recreation any greater than anybody normally does. A number of firms have far more expertise. They’ve their crew constructed from the start. They’ve some huge cash. They don’t have any points with a battle happening, something like that. And so they nonetheless work on a recreation for six or seven years. In our case, we began this recreation from scratch with a very new crew. We had corona, battle, issues with the electrical energy. Half of our crew has had quite a lot of hassle with the electrical energy for the previous two years. They’ll’t work correctly day by day. With all these points, we’re nonetheless near launch. A number of firms take that a lot time with none of those points.

GamesBeat: I keep in mind Stalker 2 being introduced a very long time in the past. How lengthy has this undertaking taken?

Maria Grygorovych: There was a reset, so this has been about six years. This has a very completely different crew, a very completely different method. Nothing is similar.

GamesBeat: You talked about there have been different video games, however nothing you regarded as Stalker 2. What did it imply to you to have one thing that may very well be known as Stalker 2?

Ievgen Grygorovych: I actually love my earlier video games. A few of them have been very profitable. Some weren’t so profitable from a participant’s perspective, however they have been profitable for us as expertise in making one thing distinctive. For me, I can say that Stalker 2 is one thing completely epic. Beforehand I had expertise with RPGs, with turn-based technique, and with a mixture of RTS and RPG. A few of these have been very completely different, very experimental tasks. It wasn’t simply copy-paste. Stalker 2 was simpler than that in a approach, as a result of we had Stalker to begin from. The brand new recreation needs to be a successor, persevering with what we had within the first recreation.

We had some foundation for the gameplay design, a blueprint for what we needed to obtain. In that sense it was simpler. However having completely new know-how, a very open world and so forth, that was an enormous problem. Making a really huge recreation sounds tough, however like several tough activity, you possibly can break it down into smaller duties, after which it will likely be easy. You simply should do a whole lot and hundreds of easy duties. It simply takes quite a lot of time. You need to be a really calm individual to work six years with out having a product you possibly can share. It’s a lot simpler to do quick tasks, the place you have got one thing to launch after a cycle of, say, two years.

Maria Grygorovych: In recreation improvement you really want to like the method. Actual satisfaction will come after these six years. It is advisable to love the method that leads as much as that. You can have a few kids in that a lot time. If you really want to have that satisfaction straight away, you won’t wish to go into recreation improvement. It is advisable to be a affected person individual.

Ievgen Grygorovych: I really like the method of improvement, fixing these duties.

Maria Grygorovych: It is advisable to love and respect the folks you’re employed with, in the event you’re going to spend so a few years with the identical folks.

GamesBeat: I’m in a science fiction guide membership. I learn Roadside Picnic, and I used to be astonished by how completely different it was from Stalker. Do you see any resemblance to that unique materials?

Ievgen Grygorovych: We really didn’t have a goal to make a recreation by the guide. It’s very completely different, as you say. We stay in a very new time. There’s quite a lot of new science fiction now. Sport design is far more superior. We are able to’t simply make good science fiction. We’ve to make a very good recreation. The story must drive that recreation. We weren’t aiming to make it by the guide.

GamesBeat: It looks as if the Zone is perhaps the one factor that’s nonetheless there from the guide. The thought of a particular place on this planet that’s very completely different.

Ievgen Grygorovych: The most important factor that Stalker 2 takes from the guide is the thought of those anomalies, sure. They’ve unknown origins. If you happen to haven’t examined it, you don’t understand how they work. Lots of people have died to know how these anomalies work within the recreation world, simply as within the guide. The thought of artifacts, objects have some unknown impact that additionally must be found. And the thought of an object you employ to search out the anomalies.

Every thing else is completely different. It’s a special location, about 100 kilometers away from our house in Kyiv. It’s an actual place, and it’s an enormous catastrophe after the Chornobyl accident. It has quite a lot of connection to our private tales. I used to be born within the 12 months of the nuclear catastrophe. Our mother and father may inform by the earth shaking that one thing was occurring, however the authorities didn’t inform them something. Nonetheless, everybody may see that one thing was occurring. They determined to maneuver me and my brother away from Kyiv to a different a part of Ukraine, to Donetsk, with my grandparents. It’s very related to what occurred in our lives. Ranging from this a part of the world, it’s logical for us as Ukrainian builders.

However briefly, it’s very completely different from the guide. It’s influenced by our experiences, private experiences, and a few options from the guide. That’s the way you get the sport.

GamesBeat: The battle got here to disrupt every thing. What needed to change for you? What did it’s important to do to adapt as soon as that began?

Ievgen Grygorovych: The quick reply is that every thing modified. But it surely’s completely different once you have a look at the crew’s private lives, our private lives, how we stay, our objectives, our pursuits. For the event, it was a really exhausting second. However we have been ready. We had ready every thing in order to not let this have an effect on, as a lot as doable, our crew’s lives, their households’ lives. We have been prepared for evacuation earlier than the battle began, and we did it.

Maria Grygorovych: Nonetheless, it’s a very completely different life from the day earlier than the battle began. Emotionally, for everybody – everybody in Ukraine, everybody on our crew – it’s some extent the place you perceive won’t ever be the identical once more. At some factors it’s exhausting to work, emotionally. You see tragedy occurring day by day, each couple of days. It’s a common factor for missiles to hit Kyiv close to our workplace. It was actually scary to start with, and it’s nonetheless actually scary now. You’ll be able to’t adapt for moments like that.

Ievgen Grygorovych: What occurs if it drops 100 meters, 500 meters away from the goal and it hits your workplace, along with your folks there? What are you going to do at that second? It’s very tense. We did every thing doable. We’ve a bunker simply close to our workplace. It’s an precise bunker constructed for nuclear assault. We’ve requested everybody to go there when there are missile alarms. However nonetheless, there’s an opportunity it may occur.

Maria Grygorovych: And typically a very fast missile strike can occur earlier than the alarms sound. 

Ievgen Grygorovych: It may be a four-minute missile.

Maria Grygorovych: However you could work, so that you simply work. It’s exhausting to elucidate to somebody what it’s wish to work like that, or what you’re feeling. A number of our family members, folks in our households have died within the battle. It is perhaps your brother, your mom. A few of our folks have misplaced their mother and father. After that you simply go into work and get again to the sport. If you happen to’re doing one thing, it’s a little bit simpler to maintain from going loopy. However on the similar time, it’s been two and a half years. It’ll be three years quickly.

For the individuals who moved to Prague, it’s not the identical as being the standard sort of immigrant, the place you resolve to go someplace that you simply wish to go, and you’ll return house everytime you need. It’s completely different being a refugee. It’s not your resolution to go away your nation. It’s one thing you needed to do to guard your self, to guard your kids or your loved ones. It’s exhausting.

GamesBeat: Did it’s important to cease work collectively for some period of time?

Maria Grygorovych: It was virtually two months. 

GamesBeat: Did you contemplate shifting from Kyiv, going additional west?

Maria Grygorovych: From late December 2021 we have been planning for what we’d do if an actual battle began. What staff ought to do. Russia had already attacked Ukraine in 2014, however it was only some territories. Now we have been planning for a battle that might have an effect on the entire nation.

GamesBeat: Did you lose quite a lot of employees who enlisted or have been conscripted?

Maria Grygorovych: Sure. It’s an honor to contemplate them our mates and colleagues. None of them have been skilled troopers. They have been programmers, QA, neighborhood managers who determined, even earlier than the full-fledged invasion, that if it occurred they’d enlist. They went to the recruiting facilities on the primary day to struggle for our nation.

Ievgen Grygorovych: They’re nonetheless our staff.

Maria Grygorovych: After our victory, I hope they’ll come again and maintain working.

GamesBeat: Have any of them been in a position to come again but?

Ievgen Grygorovych: No, they’re nonetheless preventing. There’s virtually no approach to cease for now.

GamesBeat: Did you ever take into consideration stopping the sport, shutting down the undertaking?

Maria Grygorovych: No, that was by no means an possibility. It was only a matter of taking a look at every problem and determining easy methods to clear up it.

Ievgen Grygorovych: This can be a exhausting undertaking, however it’s a weapon in opposition to Russia. When Ukrainians could make one thing so huge, so recognized to the world, it’s a approach to struggle on the inventive entrance. We’re not risking our lives, however we’re doing one thing to separate Ukraine from Russia, to spotlight Ukraine. These are various things. We’re speaking about what’s occurring in our nation. We received’t let the remainder of the world neglect concerning the battle. It’s nonetheless happening. If we fail, it’s going to be unhealthy for everybody who lives in western Europe and the remainder of the world. We’re protecting Russia out of regular life in Europe. We’re doing it by highlighting the battle with what we do, with our interviews, with no matter methods now we have.

GamesBeat: If you happen to stopped work in Ukraine, Ukraine would develop into weaker. By persevering with this work, it seems like you possibly can assist maintain Ukraine robust

Ievgen Grygorovych: Like our sportsmen profitable medals on the Olympics. They’re additionally preventing for our nation otherwise, utilizing the strengths they’ve.

Maria Grygorovych: Whenever you do one thing with quite a lot of love and soul–our dream is that lots of people will love this recreation. They’ll perceive that we exist. Ukraine exists. Ukraine can create this stuff, deliver life to nice video games. Like CD Projekt has performed for Poland. Lots of people all over the world know of Poland due to CD Projekt. 

Ievgen Grygorovych: We’re bringing Ukraine to your PC display.

Maria Grygorovych: However not in an aggressive approach. Throughout the recreation we’re not making an attempt to make an apparent assertion in opposition to Russia. We wish to present like to our tradition and convey that to gamers all over the world.

GamesBeat: You’ve drawn quite a lot of help from gamers. Is there something notably memorable you’ve seen?

Ievgen Grygorovych: We’ve lots of people defending us. When somebody who isn’t identical to you is prepared to defend you, to talk for you – “Don’t fear that they modified the discharge date. These guys are going via lots.” – for me it’s a approach they help us. It’s not simply individuals who may purchase our recreation when it releases. They’re preventing for us. That’s been necessary to me.

Maria Grygorovych: I’ve seen folks submit some humorous memes. “A developer declares that they’re going to be late due to the coronavirus. Stalker builders: ‘Maintain my beer.’”

GamesBeat: As you come towards the end line, what are some stuff you’re nonetheless engaged on? Is there a special feeling now that a number of the most tough work is behind you?

Ievgen Grygorovych: There’s going to be a giant sigh of aid after the discharge. However earlier than that, it’s nonetheless exhausting. At this level I can say that quite a lot of the gamers who’ve performed the sport like it. We’ve that proof that we put collectively a very good design and did good work. It’s a lot simpler to complete the sport when you recognize that you simply’ve reached a very good environment and a very good problem for the gamers. It’s a lot simpler to complete a recreation like this when you get it to gamers and so they can check it and inform you what’s good.

GamesBeat: Are you on the level the place you’re getting quite a lot of suggestions from testing?

Ievgen Grygorovych: We nonetheless don’t have it within the arms of the entire viewers. It’s exterior QA, QC, folks at our writer. However they agree on quite a lot of issues. We all know that there will probably be not less than some individuals who assume the identical approach.

Maria Grygorovych: Generally, as a developer, you will get within the mindset that it’s actually unhealthy, it’s a catastrophe, there’s no approach you possibly can present it to anybody. Then somebody performs it and says, “It’s so cool!” Possibly it’s good in any case? I don’t know many different builders, however inside our firm we all the time wish to do increasingly. We’ll positively maintain working after the discharge to maintain working towards what we wish to do. We’ve constructed a universe. There’s probably not some extent the place you possibly can say you’re performed and that’s all. We are able to maintain bringing extra into this world.

Ievgen Grygorovych: We’ve quite a lot of concepts for issues we wished to do in Stalker 2 that we determined ought to wait till after launch. We nonetheless have quite a lot of issues we wish to add to the sport. Launch day isn’t the purpose the place we’ll cease making the sport. It’s simply the purpose the place gamers will get it and begin giving us suggestions. We’ll begin speaking with gamers concerning the recreation design.

Maria Grygorovych: There are some options you possibly can launch with out and it’s completely okay, however you continue to wish to do it, as a result of it’s cool.

GamesBeat: What has working with Microsoft been like?

Ievgen Grygorovych: They’ve been useful round two huge issues. One, the technical half. They devoted an skilled crew from their know-how group to assist us with optimizing sure issues for Xbox. It’s been superb to work with individuals who have that sort of low-level expertise. The second half is emotional help. They’ve been very supportive. They’ve proven the sport on their channels, and never simply because it’s a very good recreation, however as a result of–I really feel like they’re sympathetic to our private state of affairs, what we’re going via. They’ve been prepared to help us on a private degree. It’s been essential for me. If an organization this huge believes in us and is prepared to make use of its sources to assist us, possibly we’re necessary in any case.

Maria Grygorovych: It’s a uncommon state of affairs. Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond have helped us in quite a lot of other ways. It’s not simply enterprise. They’re simply good folks. Lots of people from Microsoft have helped us out from completely different factors of view, even when it wasn’t essentially simple for them. They love video games and so they’re good folks.

GamesBeat: How would you set followers’ expectations at this level? Is there something you wished to say to elucidate the latest delays, the place it was moved to November?

Ievgen Grygorovych: Our objective is to make a very good recreation. We’ll do something to make that occur. Our goal is to not launch the sport in the intervening time the place gamers anticipate it. Our goal is to launch the sport when it might probably meet gamers’ expectations. I’m not afraid to delay the discharge if it’s to perform one thing good. 

We’re positively in a tough state of affairs the place it justifies the delays. It’s exhausting to elucidate to folks–you’re on a Zoom video name along with your colleagues, engaged on the design, after which the sirens go off. Half the crew on the decision has to stand up and go to the shelters. That impacts improvement. You’ll be able to’t predict what number of missiles Russia goes to launch at Kyiv. When that occurs, the alarm impacts the entire area. It’s exhausting to elucidate that to somebody who hasn’t had that have. They may perceive the information, however they haven’t felt it. We are able to really feel it. We are able to justify shifting the discharge to make the sport good, as a result of we all know our state of affairs. We all know what we’re going via. We’ve the ethical proper to delay the discharge till we make this nearly as good as we will. 

GamesBeat: You’ve got lots of people pulling for you. I believe they’ll perceive.

Maria Grygorovych: Our delays aren’t solely due to the battle. That’s necessary to level out. It’s a giant, tough undertaking. We’ve points typically that we have to repair. It’s a really complicated recreation technology-wise. We’re engaged on new platforms. Generally we have to push the discharge date simply because we’d like extra time to make things better and polish. Proper now it’s principally right down to bug fixing and extra bug fixing. There are expectations from the gamers on the market that we wish to meet.

Not each developer has this sort of independence. Each developer wish to have extra time to complete their video games. That’s a privilege not everybody on the market has. We don’t have Microsoft demanding that we launch the sport on a sure day. We’ve a really heat relationship. Some folks won’t anticipate that they’d be like that, however it’s utterly true in our case. 

Ievgen Grygorovych: Even with out the battle we’d have delays. We have to make the sport higher. It’s coming all collectively now.

Maria Grygorovych: We’re doing this for our gamers. We’re not a giant firm with some huge cash. Each delay, for us, it’s exhausting financially. We don’t have cash coming in from different tasks.

GamesBeat: How many individuals are engaged on the sport now?

Maria Grygorovych: It’s 460. That’s essentially the most we’ve ever had. Each delay is difficult, but when we do it, it’s as a result of we actually want to repair one thing or add one thing. We actually have some points that we have to clear up.

Ievgen Grygorovych: My level is, we’ve not been growing this recreation for a very long time. We’ve been growing it for a standard period of time. However for us it’s tougher to foretell a precise launch date. Our capability will not be completely below our management. My level concerning the battle, it’s about our planning capabilities.

Maria Grygorovych: For instance, it’s a standard state of affairs that each night time we’ll have alarms for a complete week. Individuals don’t get to sleep. We’ve 240-250 folks in Ukraine. In a single week the larger half of your crew won’t have gotten any sleep.

Ievgen Grygorovych: Or the electrical energy is out throughout working hours and it’s solely on at night time. You’ve got one hour of overlap between time zones to have conferences. We’re not complaining. However we’re simply making an attempt to speak the information of the state of affairs.

GamesBeat: Is it true that one in every of your folks was killed within the battle?

Ievgen Grygorovych: He labored on the unique trilogy, sure. And one actor, who did voice-over and movement seize for Stalker 2. He died a number of months in the past. Possibly a 12 months? Time flows very in a different way proper now.

Maria Grygorovych: It’s a nervous factor. A number of our folks have members of the family who’ve died within the battle. Our staff are on the entrance strains. Considered one of my greatest fears is that sooner or later it will likely be somebody shut. Individuals die day by day. You by no means know.

GamesBeat: Nicely, I stay up for enjoying the sport.

Ievgen Grygorovych: We’re ready for the second we will deliver it to gamers. 

Maria Grygorovych: I’m hoping for it. I want some level of satisfaction. It’s performed! And we’ll maintain going after that. However we’re very drained.

Ievgen Grygorovych: I’m sorry that a lot of this has been destructive.

Maria Grygorovych: It looks as if we’ve talked extra about battle than concerning the recreation.

GamesBeat: It’s actual life. It’s a real story. It’s good to listen to it.
