A review of 2021, covering metaverses, NFTs and the convergence of digital and physical worlds. A personal perspective on industry trends, changes in Russian game development and the studio’s year.
Key points
Artem Frolov’s 2021 retrospective records Yaroslav’s views at that time.
- He sees metaverses as growing connections between physical and digital life; NFT experiments often lack enjoyable gameplay.
- Roblox commissions helped Workshop 15 expand into a team developing several projects simultaneously.
- He values games with an author’s personal statement, and game jams as sources of unusual ideas.
- Deathloop and Far Cry 6 stand out; his regional picks include Loop Hero, Black Book, HighFleet, Encased and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.
