Since it’ll be our 5th anniversary of cooperation with Paradox Interactive in just a month, we decided to conduct an interview with Anton Wittberg Letoff, Art Manager & Producer at Paradox Development Studio. Here we talk about Anton’s experience at the company, how our cooperation started, COVID and the new Obi-Wan series, the importance of establishing trust and communication, meatballs, challenges of art production and how we overcame them, Anton’s favorite games, and so much more.

Video games often take years of production, and no wonder since the process of game development from idea to release is complex and multifaceted. Although each game project is inherently unique and deserves an individual approach, let’s outline some of the most common video game development stages that help produce high-quality games.

The popularity of Unreal Engine reached an all-time high peak in recent years. More and more big-budget, triple-A projects are built on Unreal, and some of the most renounced studios switch from their proprietary engines to UE. Experts say that the number of Unreal developers jobs is projected to increase by 122% in the following years.

On par with software development, game dev is one of a few industries that managed to restore the full capacity of service provision during the war and can now support Ukraine’s economy with all its might. Experts believe that in the near future, the game industry will become a major contributor to the rebuilding of Ukraine and subsequent GDP growth.

As Ukrainians fight for continued independence, we’ve gained nearly ubiquitous global support, securing the official support of 141 countries and the hearts of billions of people. N-iX Game & VR Studio is happy that our partners also support us during this tough period.

We conducted an interview with Andrew Trese, one of the founders of Trese Brothers, where we talked about how they started creating games, their upcoming RPG in a cyberpunk setting, cooperation with N-iX Game & VR Studio, successful Kickstarter campaign, and even cat memes.

N-iX believes that investing in education is investing in a better future for our country. That is why the company’s specialists regularly join educational initiatives, support talented young people and cooperate with universities to improve educational programs. This time, N-iX and Lviv Polytechnic National University have teamed up to develop Unreal Engine training course.
