Poolse gamemaker ontwikkelt een game over de Kursk
Vaker kunnen we een bericht schrijven over in Polen ontwikkelde games. Misschien wel de bekendste is de 'Witcher' waarvan nu een Netflix serie (zie Tweakers) wordt gemaakt geregiseerd door Tomasz Bagiński. Deze keer een berichtje van de gamemaker Jujubee S.A. uit Katowice, Polen. Ze ontwikkelden een game over de Kursk. De kernonderzeeër die in augustus 2000 zonk zonder overlevenden.
Jujubee over de game
KURSK is the first ever documentary-adventure game. It will focus on the tragedy of the Russian atomic submarine K-141 Kursk, which sank in the Barents Sea in August 2000. The game's plot will be largely based on facts, making the player a witness to dramatic events that shook the world at the time.
"We believe the time has come to tell real stories. In an age in which we compete for the free time of consumers against the entire entertainment industry, including movies and TV series, and when people are less likely to read non-fiction, game producers have an additional obligation. It's true that games are becoming more complex, offering an incredible audio-visual experience, and allowing us to lose ourselves in a virtual world, but they rarely help us grow. That is why we want to step outside the self-contained world of video game subject matter and invite players to broaden their knowledge about history or the actual world. We’re convinced that KURSK will be a very attractive title to anyone looking for an ambitious and mature game" - said Michał Stępień, CEO of Jujubee
