[h2]❓ How did we start in the game industry?[/h2]

We started developing games over ten years ago, beginning with small projects that allowed us to grow and refine our skills. Over the years, we explored Unreal Engine, mastered its tools, and improved our creations.

When Unreal Engine 5 was released, it marked a turning point in the industry with its groundbreaking realism. During a school study project at the launch of UE5, we discovered photorealism. The goal of this project was to explore the engine’s limits, and as we progressed, we realized that our PC was capable of running an ultra-realistic scene.

Initially, our idea was to create an ultra-realistic shooter on UE5. But during our prototypes, we discovered that the only way to push realism from “realistic” to “photorealistic” was by degrading the image using lens effects that mimic action cameras.

You’ve probably noticed that all recent ultra-realistic games adopt camera effects degradations. It’s the same principle used in cinema: in action scenes, everything moves, everything is blurry, making it harder to distinguish details and, ultimately, making the scene feel more believable.

Of course, we agreed that this degradation would feel odd if it came directly from the player’s eyes. So, we justified this effect by incorporating bodycams equipped by soldiers this became the name of our game.
