Whats Your Story Zvonimir
Introduction and Captions by Ilmari
Answers by Zvonimir
Kickstarters dedicated to adventure games show that the genre is still not dead, but alive and kicking well. One group of eager adventure gamer creators, Studio Spektar, sent us a shameless plug in guise of Whats Your Story -answers by one of their member, Zvonimir. Their home page promises a cartoonish adventure set in the former empire of Austro-Hungary. Because of our love of adventure games, we decided to let this shameless plug go through. So, Ill let Zvonimir speak next!

My age is… 34. It will be 35 in about a week
The first adventure game I played was… Indiana Jones 3. A friend from elementary school showed it to me on his Amiga while I still had my Commodore 64 and I was blown away. First I saw the train intro and then he loaded the part with the castle. We didnt know too much English and had no idea what "leather" means, but we still laughed at the "Hi, Im selling these fine leather jackets" joke and how it worked on a first guard, but not on the second one.
My favourite adventure game is… Im not sure if Star Control 2 counts as an adventure, but its my
favorite game of all time. Also, Loom.

| I am pretty sure this is not an adventure game... |
When I’m not playing games I like to… Draw, animate, play tabletop RPGs, LARP, board games and lately work on Viktor :)
I like my games in (a box, digital format)… digital. CDs get old and I dont really use my CD-ROM anymore (I think it has been broken for a few years, I never bothered to check). But I like books and maps :)
The thing I miss about old games is… Actually useful physical supplements. I remember playing Sid Meyers Pirates! with a real map and its one of my fondest childhood memories.
The best thing about modern games is… Convenient and helpful interface. Its hard to be nostalgic when the old games are cluncky and hard to play. I tried playing Little Big Adventure a few days ago and almost cried with frustration.

| I know how you feel, I cried out at the time when this was released! |
The one TV show I never miss is… You cant do that on television
If I could see any band live it would be… Katzenjammer!
My favourite movie is… 12 Monkeys
One interesting thing about me is… I am one of three people in Studio Spektar. We are making Viktor, a two dimensional point and click adventure set in a steampunk early 20th century Austro-Hungarian Empire with subtle political parodies, just enough to still make it kid-friendly. We just tried to go on a Kickstarter. Visit us and express your opinion :)
