Infinitesimals Preview (EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW)
12A long time ago in a garden shed far, far away, one man was still coming to terms with the abrupt closing of his previous studio and was now trying to figure out how to make his dream a reality. That dream was Infinitesimals, a larger than life, sci-fi epic drawing influence from classic immersive sims, iconic films, and even his grandfathers time serving in WW2 for the allies.
Iconic movies like Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, Predator as well as watershed 90’s gaming classics like Deus Ex and Thief have been influential in the development of Infinitesimals. After playing Infinitesimals at Summer Game Fest Play Days these aren’t marketing ploys, but are part of the DNA that can easily be felt, seen and heard.
A couple of clarifications:
James worked on Operation Flashpoint 2, not the first.
There were probably 5-6 publishing offers, not 2.
He worked full time, in addition to creating assets for Unreal Marketplace to fund early development.
James actually began working in a small room in the house before he outgrew it and needed to more space, which he found in the garden shed.
So let’s talk about Infinitesimals, what it is and why you should be excited, as well as a few reasons to have reservations.
