I haven't checked it out yet, so do so at your own risk.

Just a note it got flagged up immediately as malware by my antivirus (Avast), so it's likely a trojan.

Oh okay.

The events in Hawaii were the flashpoint for pretty much all of the series' main plotlines. The man Beard saves at the end of the Power Plant mission is Jacket, and Beard's later death in the bombing of San Francisco is what sends Jacket over the edge. The commanding officer of Beard's unit later became the founder of 50 Blessings, and the man responsible for killing the Russian and American presidents and setting off the nuking at the end. Most of the Fans can also be seen at the bar in the first Hawaii mission, and Evan is the guy who took Beard's and Jacket's photograph in the same scene.

I haven't finished the Hawaii missions (that loving powerplant), but is the guy with the scarf in fact Jake? I know the game loves reusing its assets (Alex being a white version of the Henchman's girlfriend) so I couldn't really tell.

I think it's pretty cool that you're so upset about a game you enjoyed playing that you're quoting yourself just so you can keep arguing since no one really gives two shits.

I would like to see these "fanfic revisions" (lol) from Vex because I'm sure it's gonna be loving rubbish objectively but will solve all the plot problems of the original, really!! Also zero gameplay.

^^ It's Spec Ops The Line all over again!

It's worth noting that the Remix album is loving incredible, with MOON and Carpenter Brut and Scattle mixing each other's tracks and making the murder music more murderous. Hoping more people do remixes of these tracks because they are great.

Spinning on the spot is a secret gangster tactic that gives you 360 degrees of coverage at all times. It's really basic stuff and I'm surprised that Batman and HLM are the only games that have done their research on this topic.

Professional hitmen can go up to 900rpm and act like a buzzsaw if anyone gets nearby.

Dallas's secret technique is exactly based on this premise

quote:

Recently Bloodbath Kavkaz, a reckless Hotline Miami parody, appeared on Steam. The story about the adventures of the Caucasian Shamil in the night Moscow blew Russian Internet up (haha), and now lots of gamers are waiting to play it.

They promise Hotline Miami-style massacre, hallucinations from bad shawarma, the protagonist with 228 hat and crazy trash storyline with lots of Russian memes involved. The game is coming 4/20/2015.

So Fashion Petersburg (literal translation of the name of the site) decided to take an interview from Dagestan Technology, the developers of the game, and find out how this idea came in their mind and what can save Russian gaming industry.

WIP.

So, let's get started. How this idea came in your mind? Was it just a joke first, like "Haha, let's make something like Hotline Miami, but about Russia."?

Dev: First this was just a joke, but the idea was so serious, so we decided to make a full game.

Did you try to get to target audience?

Dev: No, just our own ideas that we liked. Of course we listen to our fans, but I don't remember that we implemented anything from fans feedback.

How is this game related to Russian politics? Or it's just a use of "actual context"? What do you think about Caucassian problem?

Dev: When we understood that we really want to be on Steam, we've cut all polical references. We really don't want to talk about it, since it's not a problem of Caucassus, it's about a corruption in our country.

So there will be no Putin telling you to kill the faithless?

Dev: It's not Putin, it's a mystery man from the protagonist's hallucinations.

Picture[modny.spb.ru]

Are you afraid of getting banned by Roskomnadzor[en.wikipedia.org]?

Dev: Yes, so we did a great work to make the game politically correct. We hope that everyone will understand that it's just a game. And Roskomnadzor has more useful stuff to do (besides blocking sites for any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason they find - Translator)

What about an influence on kids? Aren't you afraid of some kind of gaming riot about the character?

Dev: The game is strictly 18+. And Shamil is the good guy, despite his cons. After all, he stopped being a puppet and discovered the great conspiracy that can destroy The Great Country.

Will there be any illuminati in the game?

Dev: No, instead there will be a gamemode where you kill brainless patriots.

Picture[pp.vk.me]

How did you meet each other?

Dev: First of all, Ilya (Sharafutdinov- I'll add devs' names when the translation is finished) is the main designer, programmer, etc. I wrote to him when the game came to Greenlight, because I didn't believe that he was actually doing this. We wrote each other and started working together. I am the producer and censor of the game. I also negotiated about the music in the game.

We understand shawarma and the hat, but who is Shamil? Does he have a real prototype?

Dev: No, he's just a typical Caucasian guy who wants to conquer Moscow.

Why the ending isn't oppositional or somehow accurate? Or is it a banter?

Dev: Everyone sees it in it's own way. Stupid ones see cheap clone of Hotline Miami, smarter ones see the nise postmodern project of our times. A cut of the epoch. Also, about Pelevin (famous Russian writer): there is a special ability in the game that he described in his novel "Chisla" (lit. Numbers) - Kandagar shooting. And, of course, we have the modern student jokes.

"And this is called Kandagar shooting. Some dervish is starting to spin, goes into trance, grabs the guns, raises his hands... And everything goes like a nightmare." - Viktor Pelevin, "Chisla"

Picture[pp.vk.me]

What's your opinion about the situation in the country?

Dev: We think that it's really bad and we don't want nuclear war. By the way, we wanted to do this ending, but we abandoned it since it is already in Hotline Miami 2.

The main question in Russia is about money, for the obvious reasons. How is the money involved in this? Was it someone's order?

Dev: No, this game is pure enthusiasm. We just love games and modern Russian culture. We paid only for Greenlight and engine license. Also we tried to push the game on Boomstarter (Russian Kickstarter analog), but we failed.

Dev:

Pretty much imagining the interviewer being
