Trumpai papasakok apie save. Kaip apskritai atradai stalo \u017eaidim\u0173 pasaul\u012f ir kas paskatino pa\u010diam prad\u0117ti kurti \u017eaidimus?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Pirmieji stalo \u017eaidimai, be abejo, buvo vaikyst\u0117je \u2013 gana primityv\u016bs, daugiausia s\u0117kme pagr\u012fsti \u017eaidimai. Nepasaky\u010diau, kad tada juos pamilau taip, kaip dabar. Ta\u010diau tam tikra prasme jau tada atradau k\u016bryb\u0105. Labai gerai prisimenu, kaip k\u016br\u0117me savo \u017dali\u0173j\u0173 e\u017eer\u0173 Monopol\u012f. T\u0105 lent\u0105 turiu iki \u0161iol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meil\u0117 stalo \u017eaidimams atsirado kartu su \u017emona 2015 metais, kai keliaudami aplink pasaul\u012f keliems m\u0117nesiams apsistojome lietuvi\u0173 ir austral\u0173 \u0161eimoje Sidn\u0117juje. Tiesa, ir tuomet \u017eaid\u0117me ne tokius \u017eaidimus, kokius m\u0117gstame \u0161iandien, ta\u010diau b\u016btent ten atradome, koki\u0105 gali\u0105 turi stalo \u017eaidimai. Tie jauk\u016bs vakarai, bendri nuotykiai ir emocijos, patirtos prie stalo \u017eaidim\u0173.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gr\u012f\u017e\u0119, visada m\u0117gome organizuoti draug\u0173 kompanijas savo namuose. Alkoholio niekada nevartojome, tod\u0117l nuolat ie\u0161kojome b\u016bd\u0173, kaip prasmingai ir smagiai leisti laik\u0105 kartu. Labai gerai pamenu, kaip vienam tokiam susib\u016brimui nusprend\u0117me i\u0161sinuomoti kelis stalo \u017eaidimus \u2013 Ticket to Ride: Europe<\/em> ir Camel Up<\/em>. Nuo tada aistra stalo \u017eaidimams tik augo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stalo \u017eaidim\u0173 k\u016bryba prasid\u0117jo kiek kitaip. Manau, kad visi esame k\u016brybingi, tik m\u016bs\u0173 k\u016bryba pasirei\u0161kia skirtingose srityse. Mano k\u016brybinis kelias prasid\u0117jo nuo videografijos ir fotografijos. Visada m\u0117gau kurti istorijas ir \u012fam\u017einti kit\u0173 \u017emoni\u0173 istorijas. Pirmasis stalo \u017eaidimo prototipas gim\u0117 visai neseniai \u2013 2024 metais kelion\u0117s metu. Tuomet kartu su s\u016bnumi prad\u0117jome kurti \u017eaidim\u0105, o gr\u012f\u017e\u0119 nusprend\u0117me dalyvauti \u201ePineCon\u201c prototip\u0173 konkurse. Jame pavyko u\u017eimti 6 viet\u0105, tai suteik\u0117 daug pasitik\u0117jimo savimi ir motyvacijos toliau kurti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tod\u0117l, kaip ir min\u0117jau, k\u016bryba mano gyvenime visada buvo. Tiesiog atsirado nauja jos forma \u2013 dabar istorijas stengiuosi pasakoti per stalo \u017eaidimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaip gim\u0117 Pink Soup Game<\/a><\/em> id\u0117ja? Kod\u0117l pasirinkai b\u016btent lietuvi\u0161kos virtuv\u0117s tem\u0105?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ma\u017edaug pus\u0119 met\u0173 gyvenau su Pink Soup Game<\/em> id\u0117ja, kol vien\u0105 dien\u0105, leisdamas laik\u0105 su savo trimis vaikais, staiga visos mechanikos atsirakino, susideliojo viskas \u012f savo vietas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ma\u017edaug pus\u0119 met\u0173 gyvenau su \u0161ia id\u0117ja, kol vien\u0105 dien\u0105, leisdamas laik\u0105 su savo trimis vaikais, staiga visos mechanikos atsirakino, susideliojo viskas \u012f savo vietas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink Soup Game<\/em> tapo \u017eaidimu, kuriame kiekvienas gali pasijusti lietuvi\u0161kos virtuv\u0117s meistru, gaminan\u010diu tradicinius lietuvi\u0161kus patiekalus. Tai \u017eaidimas, kuris \u0161ven\u010dia m\u016bs\u0173 kulinarin\u012f paveld\u0105 ir kvie\u010dia juo did\u017eiuotis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tavo \u017eaidimas buvo s\u0117kmingai finansuotas per Gamefound. Kiek sutelktinio finansavimo platforma ir rezultatas patenkino tavo l\u016bkes\u010dius?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Buvo du keliai \u2013 leistis \u012f \u0161\u012f debiut\u0105 kartu su leidykla arba \u017eaidim\u0105 i\u0161leisti savaranki\u0161kai. Pasirinkau pastar\u0105j\u012f variant\u0105, nes labai tik\u0117jau savo projektu. Man visada buvo \u012fdomu kurti ir vystyti projektus nuo nulio, o taip pat nor\u0117josi visi\u0161kos k\u016brybin\u0117s laisv\u0117s. Abu keliai turi savo privalum\u0173 ir tr\u016bkum\u0173, tod\u0117l kiekvienas k\u016br\u0117jas turi atrasti sav\u0105j\u012f. A\u0161 jau\u010diau, kad Pink Soup Game<\/em> tur\u0117jo b\u016bti i\u0161leistas nepriklausomai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stalo \u017eaidimo leidyba reikalauja dideli\u0173 finansini\u0173 investicij\u0173, kurios gali net neatsipirkti. I\u0161 prad\u017ei\u0173 negalvojau apie sutelktin\u012f finansavim\u0105, ta\u010diau v\u0117liau kilo mintis \u2013 kod\u0117l gi nepaband\u017eius? Tais pa\u010diais metais atsirado ir puiki\u0173 lietuvi\u0173 k\u016br\u0117j\u0173 projekt\u0173 \u2013 Brushstroke Mayhem<\/em><\/a>, o po Pink Soup Game<\/em>, Lau\u017eas<\/a><\/em> u\u017ebaig\u0117 \u0161i\u0105 gra\u017ei\u0105 serij\u0105.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tur\u0117jau tiksl\u0105 \u012f \u201eGamefound\u201c reklam\u0105 neinvestuoti \u2013 visas l\u0117\u0161as skirti pa\u010diam \u017eaidimui. Tod\u0117l buvo labai sunku nusp\u0117ti, kaip seksis kampanijai. Buvo daug bemiegi\u0173 nakt\u0173, nes beveik visk\u0105 dariau savaranki\u0161kai. Ta\u010diau sulaukiau did\u017eiulio \u017emoni\u0173 pasitik\u0117jimo ir palaikymo ne tik Lietuvoje, bet ir u\u017esienyje. \u0160i patirtis tapo puikia pamoka ir suteik\u0117 motyvacijos kurti toliau, net padidinti \u017eaidimo tira\u017e\u0105.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaip atrodo tavo stalo \u017eaidim\u0173 k\u016brimo procesas nuo pirmos id\u0117jos iki galutinio produkto? Kas da\u017eniausiai gimsta pirmiau: mechanika, tema ar konkreti \u017eaid\u0117jo patirtis, kuri\u0105 nori sukurti?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Man, kaip \u017eaid\u0117jui, svarbiausia yra tema ir \u017eaidimo naratyvas. Turiu ilg\u0105 s\u0105ra\u0161\u0105 \u012fvairi\u0173 tem\u0173, kurias nor\u0117\u010diau pl\u0117toti ir papasakoti per stalo \u017eaidimus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pirmiausia ateina tema, tada i\u0161sigryninu, kokias emocijas nor\u0117\u010diau sukelti \u017eaid\u0117jui, o tik po to atsiranda mechanikos. Man mechanika yra tarsi tiltas tarp temos ir emocijos \u2013 priemon\u0117, padedanti \u017eaid\u0117jui patirti tai, k\u0105 noriu papasakoti, o paskui ateina ilgiausias kelias \u0161ioje kelion\u0117je, tai yra testavimas. \u017daid\u0117jams, kurie testuoja nepabaigtus, neveikian\u010dius \u017eaidimus, reikt\u0173 statyti statulas. Man pasisek\u0117, kad turiu didel\u0119 \u0161eim\u0105, ir galime viduje daug i\u0161testuoti, paskui jau ne\u0161ti kitur. Taip pat nuostabu, kad Vilniuje turime Prototip\u0173 Gildij\u0105, kur tiek daug atsidavusi\u0173 k\u016br\u0117j\u0173, gero veikian\u010dio stalo \u017eaidimo paslaptis yra testavime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labiausiai augau su kinu, tod\u0117l mane visada \u017eav\u0117jo toki\u0173 re\u017eisieri\u0173 kaip Kubrickas, Hitchcockas ir Tarantino geb\u0117jimas skirtingomis priemon\u0117mis pasakoti istorijas, i\u0161laikyti \u017ei\u016brovo d\u0117mes\u012f. V\u0117liau prie j\u0173 prisijung\u0117 ir Wesas Andersonas, kuris irgi labai \u017eavi savo k\u016bryba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taip pat did\u017eiausias \u012fkv\u0117pimas yra \u0161eima, \u017emona Agn\u0117 ir m\u016bs\u0173 vaikai. Labai daug \u012fd\u0117j\u0173 gimsta per bendrus i\u0161gyvenimus, potyrius, tarsi dar turi kelias akis, kaip galima skirtingai matyti pasaul\u012f, tad artimieji yra neatskiriama mano k\u016brybos dalis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirbi vizualin\u0117s k\u016brybos srityje. Kaip videografo ar fotografo patirtis padeda kuriant stalo \u017eaidimus? Ar matai pasaul\u012f kitaip nei dauguma \u017eaidim\u0173 k\u016br\u0117j\u0173?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Man \u2013 taip. Be pasakojimo ir emocijos stalo \u017eaidimas man yra tik mechanik\u0173 rinkinys. Mechanikos yra svarbios, ta\u010diau b\u016btent istorija ir emocinis ry\u0161ys suteikia \u017eaidimui gyvyb\u0117s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
