Ed & Aisen Gotovtsevs
Fntastic co-founders
These guys successfully promote Russian and Yakut game development to the highest level. Their games are anticipated across the globe, they are now on the front page of the AppStore, amongst most downloaded apps in various countries. Ed & Aisen took part at the IGN Fan Fest together with some Hollywood stars, where they announced their game, which was among the most anticipated, along with the «Godzilla vs. Kong» blockbuster, «Shadow and Bone», a Netflix TV series, and the Justice League film.
In their games, the brothers raise important questions, such as love relationships and the essence of human nature.
World-renowned developers pay great attention to the ambient sounds in the game to make the game-world seem more realistic and immersive. They abandoned the idea of random HUD indicators and focused on high-quality ambience sound, which is an important part of the credibility and atmosphere. The brothers, together with their team created «Continent» — a virtual office making it easier to work remotely, and are preparing to release it worldwide.
«Our summers only last four months, and the rest is winter. So we are forced to stay home the whole time. What to do with all the time on our hands? The Yakuts, for example, used to make up an epic. And now they sit in front of computer screens, write programs, develop games, draw graphics. It is -58 F / -50 C outside, so you work, nothing distracts you, a perfect set-up!».
