Synchro || Ivan and Polina. Australia-Syktyvkar. Cyberpunk tactics with gopniks in the style of Darkest Dungeon

In this interview, Ivan and Polina share their story - from living in Australia to returning to Syktyvkar and creating their own studio. We talk about sports, boxing, friends, and finding oneself, and then move on to the main topic - the development of the game Synchro, a cyberpunk tactics game with gopniks that combines elements of Darkest Dungeon and a story-driven role-playing adventure.

The developers share their thoughts on marketing, working with publishers, the perception of Russian games abroad, and inspiration - from cartoons to Dostoevsky. At the heart of the conversation is a sincere look at how an unusual game project is born, and what it means to create a game while staying true to your ideas.
