All we spent before Early Access was $100 for Steam Greenlight. To begin with, the development of the game was started with absolutely no budget. We would like to embody an exciting, but at the same time frightening experience about this forest creature.īIGFOOT concept art for the design of the creature What design issues and challenges came up when developing the game? We always liked watching shows and scientific documentaries about legendary animals, in particular about Bigfoot, and then realized that this topic was not covered in the gaming industry. How did the idea for the game come into fruition?
In the game, Bigfoot can be controlled by artificial intelligence, while users play as hunters (there is both a solo mode and multiplayer for 4 players). In BIGFOOT, the monster itself is not the only game you will be hunting You can also hunt foxes, bears, wolves, raccoons and even deer in order to set baits, because Bigfoot loves fresh meat the most. You will have to hunt in different weather conditions, explore deep caves and abandoned tourist camps day and night. You have a unique opportunity to gather a team of friends or go on a solo expedition to the forests of wild reserves and feel like a real Bigfoot hunter! You can use modern gadgets, hunting traps and various weapons to lure and capture this terrible mystical animal. A year ago we hired a 3D modeler and marketer. And now we are preparing a global update, which will include significantly improve the gameplay and fix the shortcomings of the game.Īt the moment there are 4 permanent people working in our studio. So, we decided to continue development until the moment that we feel like we are proud of our first project. We could have stopped and released the game at that stage, but we were not happy with the quality and gameplay. The concept of the game, and it helped us gain our first fans. Therefore, we decided to apply for Steam Greenlight, which ended up being successful.Īt the same time, some bloggers noticed us and after a few months our game became quite famous (in particular, PewDiePie made a "let's play", which greatly helped us in promotion). How does the development timeline look like?Īfter a year of development and the completion of that early prototype, we felt that the game was already at the stage when it could be shown to people and we could get some feedback. At the beginning of development, we had very little experience and it was extremely difficult to do basic things.īut after a year of hard work and dedication to improving our skills, we got the first version of the game. Therefore, after entering university in 2016, we started developing our project "BIGFOOT".
We were not attracted by the idea of looking for work in other studios and working on other projects, we wanted to immediately start creating our own game. What motivated you to make your own game? Unlike movies, games are more interactive, which was another key factor that made us choose this medium. We decided to focus on games, because it gave us the opportunity to create our own world, plot, heroes, and tell our own stories. Since we were kids, we have been interested in everything related to graphical effects, films and games. The foundation of the CyberLight studio consists of two brothers: Dimitry and Stanislav Zinchenko. Can you introduce yourself and your background? They shared how they got started as a team and the story behind the development of the game.
