We were very surprised by this trip because we went to the very core of entertainment culture. In our childhood, we watched beautiful cartoons from Disney, and we had an incredible opportunity to see the people who created these children’s miracles. We were honored to meet the actor/stuntman who played the role of Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was also very cool to talk to people who voice-acted for cult classics such as: Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, etc.
When we showed our game to the players, the responsiveness and kindness of the audience, to put it mildly, surprised us. People at Games Con love video games, they understand game mechanics perfectly and describe in detail what’s happening on the screen and in-game hints for them is just another bother.
The experience we had was very pleasing, it showed the depth of the gaming culture. The admiration cannot be expressed using words. The love for video games at Games Con is felt in the air. We were convinced of this when Kirill Zolovkin – the head of our team, was going about his business with a Gripper poster in his hands and then suddenly, he was stopped by two security employees. They began to ask Kirill various questions about the poster in his hands: what new game is it? When will it come out? Where did Kirill get that poster from? After they found out that the creator of this game was right in front of their eyes, they were shocked and even asked for Kirill's autograph. Moments like these are very inspiring, they get you pumping with energy that helps you make your truly dream-game.
Shoutout to the organizers of the MIX zone, these guys do an excellent job they sure know what they’re doing. The incredible atmosphere that they created at Games Con is unforgettable. Hundreds of interesting people from various communities and all in one place! It was great to get to know the people who made a fond that supports the LGBTQ+ community. The diversity of the gaming industry amazed us. We saw that both the city itself and the gaming culture are multinational, we were all united by one thing - the passion which video games give us. It’s very pleasing to acknowledge that people take video games seriously: there were many children who came to our booth and their parents asked us about any age restrictions. Fortunately, our game is suitable for any age, we try not to use rough language or any violent scenes.
We’ve dropped more photos of Gripper at Comic Con LA in our official Discord server.
We also gave an interview and are waiting for its release to share it with you!
