Aleksandrs Cernavskis [Atom Team] (Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy) – Interview
Welcome to an interview with Aleksandrs Cernavskis, the writer and combat designer for the developer team Atom Team. Aleksandrs and the rest of the Atom Team are currently running a Kickstarter for their upcoming low-fantasy RPG Swordhaven: Iron Conspiracy. However, these guys are not some random rookies concerning making games. In their portfolio, you will find the well-liked and popular isometric Fallout-inspired RPGs: ATOM RPG: Post-apocalyptic indie game and ATOM RPG Trudograd.
We met each other on game development forums, discovered we shared similar interests, took the plunge into indie development, and now here we are.
What is your and your team’s background in making games? What inspired you specifically to go down this path (making a career of it)?
We were all fascinated by game development, more or less. I remember making Half-Life mods as a school kid, then playing around with RPGmaker and such.
