Tough Life launched their own educational event -apkrig
Studio Perun Creative has an unconventional “homeless simulator” in the form of the survival RPG Hobo: Tough Life. Now its authors have embarked on an equally challenging task. However, we will not be talking about another game, but the educational initiative of Perun Academy, the purpose of which is to develop the gaming industry in their region. “This is our invention to develop the gaming industry in the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Olomouc Region,” Jan Polach from the Perun Creative studio told Vortex.
The aim of the authors is to reach the level of Prague and Brno within five years. “The first swallow is a series of lectures at VŠB-TUO, where we will talk about how Hobo was created, what problems we had and advice with the production part of the game’s development,” described Jan Polach. These lectures should be more of a technical nature, because it is a technical university. “At the same time, we also offer the possibility of consulting other projects, and at the end of this series of lectures we want to give a one-time reward of up to 100,000 crowns for a meaningful project or projects,” he added.
“In short, simply, we don’t like to make excuses for the lack of people, but we want to make a gamedev mushroom here in our region. And no one else will do it for us. “
The studio also wants to offer the possibility of long-term cooperation and financing. “We also plan to work with high schools, other universities, game pits and conferences. The solution also includes Unity’s educational representation together with the certification program, ”Jan Polach indicated a possible future. The authors have set several goals that they would like to achieve. For example, they want to train and find potential colleagues so that, according to them, capable people do not have to go to work in Brno or Prague. But they also want to find a team of people to create their own project.
“In short, simply, we don’t like to make excuses for the lack of people, but we want to make a gamedev mushroom here in our region. And no one else will do it for us, “added Jan Polach. You can watch the first lecture on YouTube. It took place yesterday and was led by programmer Jan Polach and lead programmer Jiří Vašica. It was a presentation of the Perun Creative project and studio. Another falls on October 26 and will focus on the transformation from a “garage” into a prosperous company. The third lecture, which will take place on November 30, will focus on video game graphics. The tools and GUI will be addressed in mid-December. You can find their list and exact content on the studio’s website.
