Stepanov also gave some information about his friend, who is a man full of passions: “Andrii loved Cory Barlog’s work. He was impressed by the directing quality and cinematic of God of War. He also appreciated Cory Barlog’s professional path, early in his career. He was an animator.
Therefore, in addition to developing as an animator, Andrii was developing other skills needed in video game development (design and programming). One day he wanted to create the project of his dreams. Unfortunately this is no longer possible.”
