Qupected Area: Last check is a simulation game set during post-epocalyps, where you scan people left for signs of a zombie virus, either for safety via a military checkpoint or y’know, before isting them.
But I did not need to explain that because you probably have either played free demo or, even more likely, its clip has been seen on social media. Have you seen a video of someone using X-rays to see zombie bite or necrosis through people’s clothes, brightening purple light in their eyes, listening to their lungs for signs of disease, or falling down if they run away from the checkpoint? This is a quarantine area.
The Demo came out in May and became a smash almost immediately, a publishing deal with the developer Brigada Games over a million Vishlists Steam and a publishing deal with Davolver Digital. Dev’s first demo is not bad.
Talking to Brigada Games CEO and co-founder Stas Staric this week, I asked why he felt that the quarantine field Demo did so well on social media and what other games could do to achieve that kind of success.
“The game should be advised to attach the audience, talk to them, to talk to them, to ask them (questions), to (get).” Strimmer should also make a lot of decisions. This is what the audience likes really, and there are opportunities to make mistakes, especially important mistakes. “
There are definitely a lot of opportunities to make poor decisions in the quarantine field, as it is very difficult to tell a difference between a harmless cough and a survivor with some injuries and came through my veins with a deadly z transition when I found myself when I played the demo and often guessed wrongly.
Another important quality to stand on social media? A small game loop that can be completely absorbed by the audience.
“Our loop is just one minute. During a minute you inspect the refugee and make a decision, it takes about a minute for a refugee,” Steric said. “I didn’t understand this, but this is what gives us a strong benefit for Tikok, because our game loop is very small and can be completely displayed in a small ticket video.”
And there is another advantage that is not in a lot of other sports, as most quarantine fields focus on standing on the same survivor in front of the player: “Everything is happening in the center of the screen,” Steric said. “Ticketkok video and vertical videos are very easy.”
And those videos spread rapidly. A streammer, who made a ticket video during a quarantine field, was also released before the demo was released, eventually 30 million times seen, Steric says. Now this is a viral (haha) video.
