- Hello!
- Hello. My name is Nickolay Demchenko. I’m a project manager of Jagged Farm: Birth of a Hero.
- Would you tell me about your decision to create such original game, please?

- We were aroused by a video “Shvaine”of the Russian pop-singer Gluk’Oza. This is where the girl in khaki together with her friends fight against crafty swine. Absolutely brilliant in terms of characters style and animation, not to mention tons of slapsticks. So we thought it could be a good idea to take the characters from the video and come up with our own story as the overall video setting is not quite suitable for a RTS game concept.
- Is your game strategy? Than, it differs from competitors except for a plot and original characters.
- Yeah, this is going to be a RTS game with pretty much everything an average RTS fan would expect from this kind of a game. We are not trying to make a revolution in the genre. The goal is to produce a conventional RTS title that will be easy and great fun to play. The main emphasis is laid on amusing storyline, hilarious animations, intense action and humor, the latter being the last but not the least.
- Who is engaged in the story line of this game? It is rather and is rather original …
- You might think the storyline has been made up by one person. In our case though, the whole team had a hand in it. So we take your words as a compliment.
- So, pigs. Not so lovely, but, apparently, harmless animals. Why do they represent threat to the world? Will they eat all?
- It’s all about semantics of the Russian word “pig”. One of the meanings of this word in Russian is a person who is obnoxious, mean, perfidious, low, corrupt, mischievous, immoral, etc. In English, the word “pig” has similar semantics, so I am sure there will be no lingual barriers to convey this message properly.
- The main hero is Gluk`Oza, the girl is in khaki. Is she differ from other girls? Why will the world be rescued by her?
- You’ve said it right. Gluk’Oza is a main character of the game. This been said, who else can save the world but her?
Though, if you are asking about primary reasons of this kind of a choice, then I think it was a latent desire to find some substation for “classic heroes of Hollywood blockbusters”, i.e. tough marines, stern commandos, promising physicists and the like. I am sure you know the character of Gluk’Oza as a representative of a modern mass culture was invented quite a while ago, and not by us. So we kind of adapt it to the needs and requirements of the amazing world of video games.

- What are our opportunities in game? Do we build buildings, extract resources, kill impudent pigs?
- I already mentioned the Gluk’Oza project is going to be quite usual in terms of features of the RTS genre, meaning it will feature base development, unit production and resource gathering. Now, if you add a good portion of humor, sidesplitting characters, hysterical animations, amusing storyline and gripping gameplay, you will get a tip-of-the-iceberg idea of what this game is going to be.
