S1E3. Creating worlds with Viktor Antonov

Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov talk to Viktor Antonov, co-author of Half-Life 2 and Dishonored, about mixing reality and fantasy in video games, harmony in art, and what Gogol and Hoffman can still teach you. A place where magic is just as usual as morning coffee: how Viktor Antonov builds his worlds; How to pitch a creative and innovative idea to a cold-blooded business partner; One precise concept art vs. tons of useless sketches; Human brain and perception: how to keep the player concentrated; Rare themes and places that lack a video game adaptation. This and many more – in the third episode of The House of The Dev podcast with Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov.   Unreal Engine Dev Contest: unrealcontest.ru  Subscribe to our YouTube channel for video version of this podcast and more content: youtube.com/channel/UC4veWHR5m7wyk0GNWmQD8VA
