This is The History of Croteam, developer of great video games like The Talos Principle and Serious Sam, a documentary in which we go through the experiences and problems of the Croatian developer. Croteam has become a pioneer in the independent market, focusing on the development, publishing and co-creation of video games, video game engines and VR.
This is why they have carved a space in the hearts of many gamers and developers, including mine. A little over a year ago, I began producing this video with the intention of showcasing the incredible history behind the company. I'm happy to finally publish it and can't wait to read your feedback.
I will be doing a live broadcast soon to chat with you about some projects that are on the way. See you soon, thank you very much for this long wait and I hope everything will be a little clearer after the publication of the making of. Best regards to all of you.

Unfortunately, KZfaq limits the amount of characters in the description to 5,000 and the full version takes more than 10,000. This is why I have decided to upload all the links of interest to a text document that you can access through this link: docs.google.com/document/d/1m...
