More and more novice developers are experimenting with new genres. As a rule, they take a ready-made development as a basis and redo it in a new way. Today we will talk about such a project as "Malinovka" from a novice domestic developer MalinovkaTeam. The game is named so not by chance, because the game takes place in the familiar expanses of our vast country. In its genre, the game resembles a role-playing MMORPG, where each player can find something to do. The main feature of this game is its style. A Russian developer specially recreated a simulator about life in Russia. As you travel around the location, you will meet familiar cities, rivers, steppes and other attractions. Currently, the game is in open beta testing, so you can play an extravagant simulator right now. The project was released on February 22, 2019, and to this day the developer releases new monthly patches. By expanding the opportunities for players each time, the developer equates the game to real life.
Gameplay
At first, this idea may seem extraordinary, it would seem who would take it into their head to play a real-life simulator? It is this and focused the attention of the developer, few people in real life dares to go to those or other actions. Therefore, you can easily implement some ideas in an online game. After launching, you will be able to choose a hero. Always wanted to be on guard? Then we take a police officer and fight crime. Do you want to go on a long trip to Russia, to see the beauty and unexplored corners of our homeland? Choose a trucker and earn money on transportation. Did you dream of saving people's lives? A doctor or emergency worker will definitely suit you. There are no restrictions and prohibitions, do what you can not do in reality. Ever wanted to go down a slippery slope? Join a gang and gain authority, keeping the whole city at Bay. The game has a character leveling system, you need to monitor your well-being, buy clothes, food, basic necessities, and so on. Get your own housing and car, open a business or become a Deputy. Here everything depends on you, no one will judge your lifestyle. During the day, you can be a Gopnik, and in the evening deliver food to the needy. A working voice chat allows you to keep in touch with other players. The social aspect here is debugged to the maximum, so communicating with other players will make the process more realistic. As for the game process itself, it very much reminds us of the classic GTA mod:San Andreas. Everything is done in the best traditions of the series about the great car thief. But do not compare these games, as the project "Robin" remains completely individual and completely written from scratch. The graphics here are not perfect, but this can be considered as a plus. The game is not picky in terms of requirements and therefore it pulls even a budget PC. The same can be said about other aspects, such as physics, drawing, anti-aliasing, and so on. It is worth adding that there is a very large selection of cars. You can put on your car various improvements, body kits, change colors, wheels, and so on. Tuning is not perfect, but for a novice Studio it is quite a good step for further development
