HOW IT ALL BEGAN . . .

The first idea of the sport appeared in 2019. Our story takes place in a fictional Empire which is being destroyed by ongoing conflict with a neighbor and inner political battle. The sport differs from most war-themed video video games by specializing in the stealth expertise reasonably than standard fight. Violence and chaos guidelines everywhere in the dying Empire. While engaged on the sport state of affairs, we have been impressed by the historic occasions of the start of twentieth Century. We determined to keep away from direct historic references however we have been undoubtedly impressed by actual occasions.

The begin of growth was, to place it mildly, removed from supreme, however inside just a few months we discovered individuals who appreciated the concept. This is how the Bear Smile crew was born.

At this level, prototypes and idea artwork started coming out proper out of the oven. Here are some super-early stage ideas and gameplay video:

Very early prototype

Further growth and new concepts led to a radical change within the gameplay and a deep transforming of the state of affairs. At some level, solely the identify of the protagonist and the setting remained. At the start of 2020, the ultimate idea was aligned and we started to maneuver step-by-step in the direction of the discharge.

2022 and the field of candies

When we launched our venture we knew that the setting is unique — there are only a few profitable and high-quality indie video games in comparable settings. And this created fairly comprehensible challenges for venture promotion. But we couldn’t anticipate the hellstorm on the finish of winter 2022.

Geopolitics hit us like a high-speed prepare a sleeping chook. But we pulled ourselves collectively and determined that it will not be the tip. Our sport is telling a narrative in regards to the insanity of revolution, in regards to the selections of individuals to remain good even throughout essentially the most nightmarish instances, about the truth that one can all the time deny violence and to not succumb to the group’s brainwashing. And we intend to inform the world our story.

Making his manner by way of this new actuality, which till just lately appeared unimaginable, Peter is on a journey residence making an attempt to guard others from his brother’s insanity.
