In 2002, I published the text using my own website and made it interactive. Before it became a printed book, it had been an online project. The Metro 2033 novel is a long and difficult story. Also, I have rewritten all the dialogue for the Russian version of the game.īitmob: Since the game offers different endings, is it strange to you that players can take different paths that don’t follow the book exactly?ĭG: No, actually, I find it thrilling. But mainly, of course, I did my job - that of keeping the story consistent and making sure the senses and meanings of the book are there.
I say, turn Crime and Punishment into a PC game!īitmob: Did you mainly help the developers with making sure the fiction and mythology are correct? Or did you contribute actual gameplay ideas as well?ĭG: Both. It promotes it, gives it a huge additional audience, and basically just lures teenagers into reading. Somebody asked me if I feel that having my book turned into a video game somehow degrades it. Together, we have worked hard to keep the atmosphere, the spirit, the meanings, and the philosophy of the book - which is a social dystopia - in the game.
It's just as much of an honor as getting the book screened and turned into a movie. Prince of Persia, Arkanoid, Tetris, Civilization 1, Wolfenstein 3D…god, I am old! The Civilization franchise is the love of my life - the last time I played was a couple of days ago.īitmob: How did you feel when they approached you to make a video game based on your book?ĭG: I was and still am very enthusiastic about it. Bitmob: Were you always a gamer? Or is gaming new to you?ĭmitry Glukhovsky: I’ve been playing video games since I was 10.
