First Team Meeting

Updated: Apr 14

Update: Some of the team members were removed and/or left the team. Read more here.

Collaboration

It’s been a really exciting couple of weeks for us here at Evigilo Entertainment, especially since our last collaboration. One of the most tangible aspects of what Evigilo managed to do was to finally have a wider team meeting to detail the scope of the first project, it’s figuratively tangible points as well as laying out path in the creative direction we’d like each member to personally own and take on. Read on as Justin and Dan reflect on what transpired in the first meeting.

Introductions

Virtual team meeting for Evigilo Entertainment's first development session, featuring a lively and diverse group collaborating remotely.

Firstly, as you’re all aware, scheduling is one hell of a task... especially considering we have our own personal lives spanning through different time zones and viewpoints. So the fact the stars aligned in the way that all of us became readily available, we wasted no time in utilizing this opportunity to unveil the scope of the project to everyone.

We began our meeting with fetching some snacks and drinks if wanted and then advanced with some basic introductions; two members of the team did not know one another personally, so we all went around sharing a tad about ourselves. Skye or better known as SkyGrey (in the indie-music industry) went first, followed by Gabi, Dan and then Justin.

Our team is made up of a collective of various artists talented in many forms; 3D Artists, Musicians, Sound Engineers, Writers and more. Justin brought us together to address certain themes that the world tends to want to avoid — But these themes are incredibly important to address if society wants to be on the right side of history, we at Evigilo Entertainment do and in the best way.

Justin led this meeting with a set agenda, and it went a little something like this:

Curating Curiosity & Creativity

We started off by going through some essential elements; Core Values of the Company, God being at the top followed by Authenticity, Exposure, Good-Storytelling, Honesty and Integrity which those following the first fall in no particular order. While everyone has their own beliefs, we believe that our coming together is a testament. In times like these, political opinions seem to matter more than friendship and that's simply not true. So instead, we're curating our talents to bring you something special and close to the heart.

So, while we went through a great variety of topics, our discussion came down to us asking, what truly matters? Really, what truly matters in the world? In the end, it is our connection with the people that we love that make everything worth it. In turn, our mission is to create a genuine connection with our future player-base and share significant stories, which brought us to the next bullet on Justin's agenda.

Video Game Themes

As stated in a previous blog post, this upcoming video game will not be for the faint of heart. The themes discussed in this game are...well, let's allow you to have your own creative interpretation of what we were about to say. Here’s a hint, it’s not pretty! Like real life, terrible things occur in the world and the point of The Evigilo Entertainment Universe is to both expose the things that the majority of the world either refuses to discuss for some reason or another—or more likely, aren't aware to the extent that these things are happening—and create a bridge to connect with the authentic emotions that certain individuals have experienced. Humans are emotional and spiritual beings, so unless you're a psychopath and fall under one of the Dark Triad of Personality Traits, one is normally able to place themselves in another's shoes and especially with themes such as this.

We're going to be careful what we state due to the nature of video game development — After all, we don't want to give up too much information so we'll be vague. We will however give you something:

Our game will begin by delving into the topic of one of the darkest, most heinous occurrences that Man can commit, and it's happening all too much.

So while we place our foot further through this doorway, please know that we ask that you remember our core values. The imagery and visualizations of this game may be quite rough at times and they're meant to be.

The BIG Reveal

And it was... for the team! We won't be giving you the big reveal; The Game Title, that's for another day.. but the big news is that it has been decided, and it has been for several years. We would like to share with you, but it's not the time yet. When we get further into development, then we'll do that big reveal for ya.

However, we do have an important reveal for you:

The game begins in modern day, as recent as 2022 and will take place in a variety of locations across the United States.

This game will be a tall order, so as small as this team is and while Justin is doing a heavy 95% of the work right now and funding it, please know that support is more than welcome and needed — Please consider supporting this project as truly, it's for a good cause.

Before we end this blog post, we asked our other team members to comment on our first meeting. This is what they had to say:

Gabi

"I had such an amazing meeting with the Evigilo Entertainment team today. It's always a blast working with my friends, people I've known for years and it feels like we're on the same wavelength when it comes to brainstorming new ideas for this project. It's always so much fun to bounce ideas off of each other and see where it takes us. It's amazing to see how our different perspectives and skills complement each other to create something truly special. It's truly inspiring to see the dedication and hard work that Justin is putting into the game. I know he has been working really hard on this project and it's clear that he's fully invested in making the game a success. He's always willing to go the extra mile, whether it's staying late to iron out the details of a particularly tricky level or spending the weekend testing new stuff. His passion for the project is contagious and it makes the whole team want to work harder and do their best. Watching Justin work so hard makes me excited to see the progress we'll make as a team. It is truly motivating and I'm confident that the results will speak for themselves. I am truly excited to start working on the music for this game. The energy in the room was electric as we discussed new projects and ways to take Justin's gaming company to the next level. It's inspiring to see how passionate everyone is about what we're doing and how dedicated we all are to making the game the best it can be. I'm so grateful to be invited to work with such a talented and supportive team, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for us all and see can create together!"

Skye

"The first meeting was everything I hoped it would be! Productive yet silly which is totally my style. Being able to work toward a common goal with not only people that have the same passion, but people that I met because of that passion is a different kind of fulfilling. I'm excited to see what the future hold for us!"

Thanks for reading — And Thank You Team!
