Ukrainian developer Dmytro Yarynych, who put the creation of the game Tailgate about the Labrador Hyde on hold after joining the Defense Forces, spoke about his impressions of his first month in the army.
«Surprisingly, my impressions are rather positive (again, I’m still in the training center, so this is not indicative)», — Dmitry wrote on X (Twitter).
According to him, the best thing he encountered was the people and the supportive atmosphere in the training platoon. He assured that he does not idealize being in the military and has already met «a few dolbo*obs».
«But for me, as a person with a relatively delicate mental organization, it’s a very bright and positive experience. When uncles — plasterers, foremen, drivers, tilers (the composition by type of activity is generally like this) — say, «Dimonchik, don’t suck,» «Dimas, you’re even more handsome» (after I was the first to pop on the psychosmuz), «Dimonchik, you know your stuff, tell me,» «Dimas, it’s so nice to communicate with you, it makes my soul happy, you’re well-read, smart,» says the developer.
He said that his platoon has almost everything in common: medicine, food, cigarettes. The brothers share various things and help each other in difficult moments.
«I could write an essay about each of my platoon members — there are no uninteresting people, regardless of their background, but overall it’s a fantastic feeling that you are accepted for who you are,» emphasizes Dmytro Yarynych.
The developer joined the Defense Forces at the end of May. He announced that in connection with this, his Tailgate project is being postponed indefinitely.
This is a sarcastic adventure game, the main character of which is a Labrador Hyde in the village of San Pedro. dev.ua previously spoke with Dmytro, and learned how a village with that name ended up in the Kyiv region and how the developer wants to implement a «Ukrainian-Spanish-Japanese» setting and lore in Tailgate.
