Road to Vostok Developer: Military Background, Trader & Lore details, Dynamic Events Explained

[@fluffysquirrel8385]

the best part to me is his willingness and openness to ideas. he is always willing to hear people out, and does a masterful job of constantly providing new, cool information while keeping everything a mystery.

[@jackanderson9381]

if there was awards for developers he would win everyone. he is so transparent and even in its demo stages it looks amazing and it fun to play.

[@MrLuckyronda]

Ex Swedish soldier here, been following RtV since the beginning Every single game aspect you and Antti went through has made me unbelievable exited! Was very excited before hearing all this amazing info and now... absolutely fantastic. Cant even give you a single negative or remotely concerning thought, only positive ones. Antti has it all under control 👊

[@PixelFabula]

Couldn't agree with you more! Antti has an unprecedented vision for RtV! Thank you very much for the kind words and support!

[@makkapakkaloveskappa]

The transparency and quality behind the game and it's development is so good...game is amazing so far, can't wait for full release

[@doomer_dame]

I have never been this obsessed and excited for a video game.

[@Ghost_Command04]

I just want to say LITS is such a great interviewer. He does an amazing job of listening to the guest and I can really feel his empathy for Antti's story which is just so rare and infectious. I also love the curiosity he has for Antti and how he uses that to ask such in-depth questions on the fly. Just bravo dude, honestly Then on the other side of the table, Antti is the freaking Terminator of game development. As he was talking about how he doesn't feel like he's doing any more than the bare minimum for a game dev, I realized he couldn't get any cooler than he is lol

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you for the kind words and support! And yes - Antti is a Terminator of game development 💪

[@yellowskrub]

Not only is this interview really well done but so are the time stamps. Thanks for the video. :)

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@HaloFan577]

I'm stoked for this game! His military experience will make this for sure the most realistic shooter ever.

[@5crufft3ch95]

It really is such a relief to know there are still Devs like him out there that love what they do and not only want to make something special for the players but for himself as well. (Which is extremely crucial in my opinion.)

[@aybarsozmen6308]

It's been a lovely pleasure to sit & listen the entire conversation. Thank you very much!

[@PixelFabula]

Truly happy that you enjoyed! Thank You!

[@dartagnan1954]

I was speechless when I first played the game it’s amazing Can’t believe it’s all done by one person The road is long i know But it’s going to be an amazing ride

[@Stackamillie]

1 man army changing the industry

[@unbecoming2007]

In a world of 50% effort as the norm for performance, it's a breath of fresh air and hope to see someone taking pride in anything they do. U can obviously hear and see this guy cares, is skilled, and you know he will deliver with it being a lifelong dream. We're in good hands and I can't wait, but I'm in for the long haul. We know it will be worth the wait and cost. Nice work on the interview and video. Thank you both.

[@PixelFabula]

Absolutely, couldn't agree with you more! And thank you for the kind words and support!

[@RonnieAshlock]

This was a really great interview. Thanks to you and Antti for getting together and providing this entertaining and educational conversation.

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you so much for the words of support! Happy you enjoyed 👍

[@mateusz_0]

Crazy that its made by 1 person

[@Cautious_Gamer]

I am so intrigued by this game. Thank you for taking time for the interview!

[@PixelFabula]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@brockmarshall9228]

This guy is an excellent interviewer

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you very much! That means a lot!

[@MartianV2GG]

He has such ambitious ideas, yet my faith in him is that he will follow through when he dose announce a feature

[@SmellsMonochrome]

Not all heroes wear capes, but when I imagine Antti, he is definitely wearing a cape.... Made out of a bear.

[@PixelFabula]

Totally 😅

[@kahvakuula8050]

This was great episode! Wide range of discussion, Well done. :)

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you very much! Happy you liked it

[@Shamnolya]

Best interview i have seen about this game so far. Very interesting questions and antti give a lot of detail, i'm so hyped

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it!

[@M1XEDBAG]

I love road to Vostok, and the transparency of Antti, but god damn those people at the beginning of the video are such clout seekers. There are a lot of positives about the first demo, but there was a lot WRONG as well. The recent demo update is proof positive of that. Gun recoil and sounds were not good, AI has a one track mind, no loot etc. Great interview btw! Antti is the man, so it was good to learn more about him.

[@fluffysquirrel8385]

lol. though the first demo wasnt blowing me out of the water like those youtubers **supposedly** were, i did enjoy it and played like 10 hours of update 1 alone. i am 101% sure public demo 2 is about to be fire though.

[@M1XEDBAG]

@@fluffysquirrel8385 absolutely man. The demo 1 v2 update made an awesome improvement to the overall feeling of the game and demo 2 should really give us an idea of how the finished product will feel. With safe house and lootable items and multiple maps, a border crossing etc. I predict It will be the moment Road To Vostok really begins to shine!

[@gbh6167]

Thank you for the content this guy is legitimately my favourite dev, I love the no bullshit attitude the whole dev space needs to take note

[@tonttu7979]

That kind of no bullshit attitude is an ancient finnish tradition. Comes hand in hand with the monotone accent

[@PixelFabula]

Thank you, happy you enjoyed! Totally agree with you!

[@Lornext]

The lore is what Im really looking forwards to.

[@PixelFabula]

Same here! My mind was blown when he mentioned the details!

[@lucambria]

Outstanding interview ! Well done to the person behind making this happened ! Great questions… I hope you dive more onto this ! Good job 👏🏻

[@itsMBWAAA]

I really liked the topic of unfulfilling looting in DayZ. My friends and I would always talk about that when playing, as well as talking about the bare bones building interiors. Speaking of unfulfilling looting, Escape From Tarkov's looting system really promotes (loot route) runs ending up with going to the same exact places every raid, which I never liked. I wish the weapons cases and stuff were more or less procedurally spawned even if they were spawned in "high risk/high reward" areas, creating a new experienced every raid

[@GJ69OG]

Mä oon sun suuri fani, itsekkin pelaan DayZ:taa todella paljon ja toivon että tulevaisuudessa tulee samanlaisia pelejä, jotka on vaan paremmin toteutettu. Isoisä aikoinaan sanoi, että ole ajoissa, ole avoin ja tee asiat paremmin kuin muut, niin voit menestyä. Muistutat huomattavasti isoisääni tässä ja siksi olenkin suuri fani❤

[@graphosencrenoir4006]

finally an ex-military developer that know how weapons work, and how to implement them well in a video game !

[@jakobarnold2903]

One thing with the dynamic events like with the truck that is on route to resupply the trader is if the player does destroy the truck I think it would be cool if the next source of the ressupply like another truck or a boat was then harder to destroy as it is a more valuable convoy with more guards or other vehicles escorting it to its destination if you understand what I’m trying to say I think it would be a cool way to sway the player and give more risk

[@DB.KOOPER]

So badass... this and Stalker 2 arr at the top of my wishlist currently. This might become number 1 cause it looks amazing and Ive got much respect for the dev and what hes trying to do. Cant wait to play the game.

[@PersonalityMalfunction]

Thank you for this interview, I am absolutely fascinated with the progress of Road to Vostok. If i can be rude and suggest you need to keep your questions shorter and be more specific about what you want to know, the interview would flow better.

[@PixelFabula]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! And thank you for the kind and constructive advice 👍Noted

[@uih111]

Antti is a giga-chad tbh.

[@kristinaa2096]

Best podcast! Keep going!

[@ahorasharareh4078]

really glad to see solo dev made this kind of game. I do have a question that what is the game server service he is using for multiplayer ?

[@PixelFabula]

Hi! Unfortunately I do not know, sorry

[@chloewebb5526]

As someone that owns an RTX2060 laptop, I'm so glad that he uses mid ranged hardware to develop lol. The last year has seen some releases that are just punishing my PC

[@JCaliTV]

Can't wait

[@pro10s21]

will this be able to play with friends or singleplayer only?

[@PixelFabula]

From what we know thus far, it is a single player only experience

[@pro10s21]

kay, so i`ll give it a pass. thx @@PixelFabula

[@FinUgShiet]

Vittu Matti, eiku Antti, tee se tutoriaali vaa nii me voidaa kaikki tehä omat Vostokit ;) jk Keep up the good work!

[@esaedvik]

Being transparent also has its drawbacks - when you're very open about features and even just mention small things in blogs/vlogs that are in the pipeline, if you don't implement them, the backlash is ready. This happened to CP2077 pretty badly, but thankfully they've had time to implement stuff after the release. Kind of like No Man's Sky, but not blatant lies per se.

[@PixelFabula]

You are absolutely right on that part. CP2077 was...messy to say the least 😅Let's hope this will not be the case for RtV!

[@esaedvik]

@@PixelFabula On a bit of a different scale, so probably not :D Great interview btw! Seeing local peeps doing cool shit is always rewarding.

[@PixelFabula]

@@esaedvik Thank you! Truly glad you enjoyed it!

[@cryk8416]

Craziest is that its made on Godot, with godot having pretty low 3d capabilities out of the box. He made it look fantasting, and all this while running most of the code in GDScript

[@markcorrigan3930]

[@derekakaderek]

it worries me that he says the only work he's done on audio is the guns because they're the worst sounding thing in the game BY FAR, minus the enemies guns. The players gun audio needs some serious work because it's just awful

[@realfatihk9699]

holy shit! Tarkov 1.0

[@Anadole]

tarkov without the sweats and cheaters to ruin the fun

He said he had the idea all the way back in 2012, Tarkov was launched in 2016...

[@vosdraug4628]

Single player Tarkov.

[@fluffy6923]

Damn. It's a shame there will be no paranormal stuff in Road to Vostok.

[@mellomikeoftegridyfarms]

Not every game has to have paranormal stuff... I'm grateful that for once there will be a realistic survival based, single player FPS with no zombies or shit like that.

[@OperatorMax1993]

not every game has to have paranormal stuff... but the reason i'm happy is because it's single player

[@selectionn]

i can guarantee you modders will add it. I would be surprised if someone doesnt recreate STALKER in this game when it releases.

[@fluffy6923]

@@selectionn I kinda doubt that a one team unity game will have a modding support. Even majority of AAA games don't have proper modding support.

[@barrymccaulkiner4232]

​@fluffy6923 Tarkov doesn't have official mod support yet there's a large part of the community doing it. Could definitely see it happening especially for a single player game.

Worldwide breaking news: Shooter game comes with STORY!! P.S. you could be a veteran of 20 wars, it wouldn't mean you can write a good story

[@pinkyizthebrain2397]

You see developers like those scum bags who made Dead Matter who knew their game was garbage but still charged $47. Then there's dev's like this guy who is completely open and honest and making a game that looks amazing. I'll be buying day 1!.
