We even managed to win an Unreal E3 Award: “Unreal Underdog”, because we were brave (read: crazy) enough to compete with the big dogs of the E3. After watching E3 for a lifetime it was overwhelming to see my little game up there. The highlight of 2018 was the presentation of the game on the stage of the PC gaming show at E3. Do you remember parties? Right place, right time. I solved my third problem – no experience – by hiring Alex, a programmer who had just created a VR spacewalk sim in collaboration with NASA – a one-man army that has been doing the Work done by a whole team of programming took years. The mod and its receptionist really opened a lot of doors. After creating a rough prototype, I managed to get grants from a benevolent arts sponsor (Film Victoria) as well as an Unreal Dev Grant from Epic. I solved my second problem – no budget – by diving into my savings and applying for funding. It felt like jumping out of an airplane and my plan was to learn to fly until I hit the ground. It was of course insanely risky, especially since I worked in the legal profession, where you usually don’t get back in after a few years. I solved my first problem – no time – by quitting my job. So in 2017 I decided to make it a standalone game that was bigger and better in every way.ģ) I had absolutely no idea how to make an entire gameĮven so, it’s now available for Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One, and this is a story about how it all came together. The mod was downloaded over 3,000,000 times and IGN called it “just amazing,” but as popular as it was, I had made it in my spare time on a $ 0 budget and knew I could do it way, much could do better. So try to find out who is responsible for the sin that is destroying the city and prevent it – all while you are in one Groundhog Day-Style time warp. Then one learns of a terrible curse: If one sins here, everyone dies. You discover a mysterious underground city in ruins, travel into the past and meet its inhabitants. In 2016, The forgotten city was a major story-driven addition to a popular RPG and the first mod to win a national screenwriting award.
