Behind the Hump
Game design studio in Larissa, Greece, run by Alexander Gorbenko with about 40 people working remotely across several countries.
We are building Forgotten Eras, a 2.5D Metroidvania grown out of Slavic and Balkan folklore in Unreal Engine 5. Frame by frame animation drawn by hand, environments painted by hand, a live orchestra recorded in a room. No generative AI in the art, the writing or the sound.
Behind the Hump also produces the Game Dev Experience podcast and video work for other studios.
Hand-animated 2.5D Metroidvania through Slavic and Balkan folklore. Ivan, the Grey Wolf, and the runes of Veles.
