Here, I'll finally catch you. 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.920 The End of the Sun is a first-person exploration and adventure story-based game, 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:45.939 set in the Slavic fantasy world where the line between myth and reality begins to fade perilously. 00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:58.659 The hero you play as is Ashter, a Slavic sorcerer with the ability to divination and influence over time. 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:11.560 The game is inspired by both adventure and exploration games with unorthodox riddles to solve, 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.000 but the story-line is in the first place here. 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:28.699 The game world is open so it's up to you in which order you will choose to explore it and 00:02:28.699 --> 00:02:32.840 in what order you will discover the secrets and stories lying with in. 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:46.659 The story unfolds during the four seasons far away from each other, between which you can travel in time. 00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:58.340 Certain elements of story and the world around you, 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:03.819 will open up to you only when you accept the paths of fate and influence the future. 00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:12.500 Events from the past have an impact on the game world in the future. 00:03:15.379 --> 00:03:20.840 In The End of The Sun you will know the fate of the same heroes at various stages in their lives. 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:33.379 The story is inspired by Slavic mythology and legends 00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:40.180 It recreates mystical events, culture and people’s habits in an unusual way. 00:03:43.860 --> 00:03:48.919 The time of day, weather and lighting change smoothly and dynamically within one day 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.719 in front of your eyes when you travel in time. 00:04:02.780 --> 00:04:07.300 During the production of The End of The Sun, we spent a lot of time outside our studio 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.240 searching and scanning interesting objects for our game. 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.319 Now we would like to talk about what our work on The End of The Sun looks like. 00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:23.879 Hi my name is Jakub Machowski I am the director and game designer of The End of The Sun. 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:30.079 I have over 10-year experience in gamedev. My earlier project was The Mims Beginning. 00:04:30.500 --> 00:04:35.040 The game that successfully raised two crowdfunding campaigns and is released on Steam store. 00:04:35.540 --> 00:04:44.220 Hi my name is Kinga Rąpała, I am involved in composing music and creating sounds, graphics, marketing 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:46.740 and everything else that is currently needed 00:04:48.459 --> 00:04:53.759 The third person in the team working with us remotely, at his own pace is the programmer Hubert Motyka. 00:04:54.379 --> 00:04:58.939 At the beginning of the work on The End of The Sun, we decided that the photogrammetry method 00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.800 will allow us to get the most unique game atmosphere. 00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:06.759 Photogrammetry allows you to scan and transfer objects from the real to the virtual world 00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:10.459 and is closely related to taking a huge number of photos. 00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:15.300 We spent hundreds of hours traveling around beautiful places in Poland 00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:18.000 to find interesting objects and photograph them. 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.519 We visited, among others, Ethnographic museums in which, thanks to the courtesy of many people, 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.740 we scanned both smaller exhibits and entire buildings. 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.939 We have also restored several agricultural machines or ordered real wooden figurines 00:05:38.939 --> 00:05:41.860 to later scan these items into the game. 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:51.259 In search of small details, we went to unusual places where we took photographs of flower bouquets 00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:53.480 and handmade laces. 00:05:55.579 --> 00:06:01.420 We wanted to create a game world in which you can not only experience the adventure but also relax. 00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:07.759 it’s not so easy to find an area so distant from civilization to get the pure sound of nature 00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:12.139 Fortunately, we were able to find the perfect places. 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:18.899 As in The End of The Sun time of day is dynamically generated, we recorded ambient sounds 00:06:18.899 --> 00:06:21.779 in each of the four seasons. 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:30.279 Recording animations for characters was one of the funniest stages in production. 00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:39.860 Being a small studio, we had to use available tools and creativity in order to finish it. 00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:43.500 So we've created our own home mocap studio. 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:48.819 Thus, the recordings look quite comical, but they finally fulfill their purpose. 00:06:54.540 --> 00:07:00.300 The game is currently in production for 3 years. We are now at the final stage of its creation, 00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.740 so we are counting on your support on kickstarter to be able to focus fully on completing the game 00:07:06.459 --> 00:07:09.379 and releasing it for you as soon as possible. 00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.399 Thanks for watching!
