HELLION – ONE YEAR OF EARLY ACCESS

After last month’s visit by Nordeus within Nova Iskra’s FTW! Gaming Hub program, this month we will welcome the team from Zero Gravity Games, that has been working on the Hellion project for a couple of years already and will share their extensive experience in the domain of development and launching an ambitious indie gaming project.

Hellion is a multiplayer survival game set in the wastelands of space, in a stellar system thousands of light years away from the Earth. Being a combination of a space simulation and the increasingly popular survival genre, the game offers the experience of surviving in harsh conditions of deep space: vacuum, extreme temperatures, radiation, as well as the possibility of cooperation with other players. As a space simulation, Hellion allows the players to steer a spaceship, explore abandoned stations, and collect items, as well as to leave the safety of the ship to explore the surroundings.

The game has scored well within its Early Access program, and during the lecture, Miroslav Mićević from Zero Gravity studio will speak about the challenges of such a demanding project, including preparation, launching at the market, and maintaining and growing of the user community. It will be a story about lessons learned in the process of working on the game Hellion. The lecture will feature different perspectives on evolution of both the game and the Zero Gravity studio: from game design, over team organization and business decisions, to community management.
