Navid Khonsari of Ink Stories explains how the studio are looking to create a new genre with their real-life inspired 1979 Revolution, an episodic game based around Islamic revolution.
Games of History examines the history behind history-based videos for their authenticity, and the culture behind these games. Today's video is all about 1979 Revolution - the Iranian Revolution.
Josh Griffiths writes: "Khonsari and his team were right to be afraid. In August 2011, Amir Hekmati, was arrested on charges of spying while visiting his grandmother in Iran. Hekmati was also a game developer working on the Kuma War series, a first person shooter franchise set in the Middle East."
Josh Griffiths writes: "Historical games are incredibly important and can be a lot of fun, so why do they have such a poor track record when it comes to crowdfunding?"
I'm gonna venture to say that it's because they take more effort than 2d pixel plqtformers.
OT it would be pretty awesome to see open world or story based video games set around stories similar to that of Soylent Green or Halloween 3. That would be an interesting change.
I remember originally reading about this one years ago. It keeps popping back up here and there.
I thought this game died
1979 Revolution was the worst thing that could happen to Iran. I really hope the game does not show it in a positive light
