quote [ As it happens, the story behind the game is as unusual as the game itself. It?s not every day that you come across a solo Russian developer who enlists his dad to help realize an uncompromising, authentic vision.
[?] It?s a game where you can press up to sit on a bench or press down to rest your hands on a balcony for no other reason than to contemplate time passing by. ] Interesting slice-of-life game featuring elegant console brawls.
Article is from 2019, they're working on an hardboiled Yakuza drama currently. The article notes his father doing animations ? the team page mentions the software used: it's Graphics Gale.

quote [ At left: bluescreen footage with special rotoscope-friendly costumes and makeup. We shot on 16mm, under super bright lights for fast shutter speed & to reduce shadows. Vintage 1995 technology! ]
Interesting making-of posted by Mechner himself. Thumb and quote is from a recent tweet.
There's more (like a game draft* in form of a screenplay) on the author's archive page. The Prince of Persia diaries are an especially interesting read.

quote [ It?s an entire life simulator, leaping through the years between each chapter, as you meet people, choose how to interact with them, and then the life-long consequences of those choices. All the while playing match-3 puzzles to complete your day-job. ]

quote [ If you're allowed to use self-defense against an armed attacker, what should you be allowed to do to people destroying the planet? NORCO doesn't answer that question, but it provides a space to think about it real hard. ]
I'm actually in the middle of reading Malm's book discussed, it's quite good so far.

quote [ SimCopter represents a very early glimpse at true sandbox gaming, especially in a 3D space. Crash your helicopter into a car on the street? You?ll need to grab a second bird and head back to the scene to extinguish the fire. Leave your helicopter in the middle of the road? Get ready to solve the subsequent traffic jam. ]
