My story so far

By Georgii Antipin

Me at my desk, hands clasped, beside the words “My story. From GTA skins to my own studio.”

I used to repaint skins in GTA Vice City and watch them show up in the game. That was magic for me. Since then: a Star Wars fan site in Yakutsk, seven years of front end, a game company where I made websites instead of games, and now my own studio in Almaty.

I recorded my story so far without a script, just bullet points: why I left my job, why failing is good, what I think about slop games, and what’s coming for The Echoes of Mars. I speak English in it, with Sakha and Russian subtitles; English captions are under CC.
