It is a universal tale of cooperation, danger, solidarity and working for a common goal, understandable by both young and adult players. The main story line and the missions in the game revolve around the bee family and the threat that people poses to it.

It contains both information that the bee has found a valuable resource, but also shows other bees the direction and distance so that they can find it. One bee swings around her abdomen and the individuals around her seem to be watching in utter silence.Īfter a thorough study of bee behavior it has been discovered, that this dance is a complicated message encoded in motion, addressed to other workers from the hive.

For an outside observer, this behavior is quite strange. Often, when we observe bees, it is difficult to find out what they are doing. The common denominator has become the community value, namely the family.īees are a very interesting species, but to tell the truth, for people without a thorough knowledge of their nature, these animals are hardly understandable and have an hermetic model of behavior. Maciek: Although from the beginning of development we had a strong belief that the life of a bee is a ready to go scenario written by nature, one of the major challenges at the early stage of production was to find a narrative key, precisely common value for the bees and for human players. What real world inspirations came into play when it comes to the missions you go on? While this is a simulator type game, it does tell a story. In our opinion, there is still huge place for creative ideas. A popular view among game developers is that everything has already been invented, everything has already been done and it is not worth looking for new ideas and values.

Our company motto is the phrase: games from a different perspective, and that's how we started working on the Bee Simulator. The final design of the game came from the need to make an unusual game, unlike any other, and the desire to prove that games do not always have to be an meaningless entertainment. Maciek: The original idea for the game, came from the Founder of the company – when he read a book about bees to his daughter. Where did the idea behind presenting bees in a simulator setup come from? Have fun! We had a great time working on the game, now it's players turn.

The cooperation of battle tested veterans with “newbees”, who are full of ideas and youthful energy, gave us Bee Simulator. Quite unique proportion in game development. The team itself is another interesting feature of Varsav Game Studios.Īt the beginning it consisted of almost only women, currently the team is around 30 developers and still about half of them and almost all managers are women. For a significant part of the team it is the first full-scale game that they have been involved in. It merges an action game with elements of simulation and education. Maciek: First of all, Bee Simulator itself is a very unique project. By Jason Stettner Interview with Maciek Matusik, Producer at Varsav Game StudiosĪ staple I do in all interviews in order to start things off is to ask that you elaborate a bit about your game (s) that people might not know?
