Emil Berglund

Trabalho como Systems Administrator na MachineGames. Nosso departamento de TI é bem pequeno (só quatro pessoas, incluindo nosso gerente), então meu leque de funções é bastante amplo para um administrador de sistemas. Todos compartilham as tarefas diárias de suporte que aparecem, mas minha especialidade é o gerenciamento de identidade, bem como a implementação de software e atualizações em todas as nossas estações de trabalho e servidores.

Também sou o principal responsável por nossos parceiros externos, dentro e fora da Bethesda Softworks, e por garantir que eles tenham acesso às ferramentas necessárias enquanto mantêm um alto nível de segurança.

Há quanto tempo você está no estúdio?

Entrei na MachineGames em setembro de 2019, logo depois de lançarmos o Wolfenstein: Youngblood. Desde então, tenho trabalhado principalmente no Indiana Jones e o Grande Círculo, claro, mas também ajudei em outros títulos da Bethesda Softworks, como DEATHLOOP, DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods, Redfall e Starfield.

Como é o seu dia a dia como Systems Administrator?

Tenho pensado um pouco sobre como seria um dia normal para mim, e tem sido bem difícil! A cada dia surgem novos desafios a serem resolvidos. Gente nova começando, novas ferramentas a serem implementadas, a manutenção de todo o nosso ambiente... Com uma equipe pequena, não dá pra dormir no ponto!

Meus dias de trabalho também não se limitam à MachineGames, em função do modo como a Bethesda Softworks opera. Eles incluem muita cooperação e discussões com colegas do mundo todo!

Tenho muito orgulho do que nós, como estúdio, produzimos e mostramos pro resto do mundo, mesmo nesta fase. Sei da paixão que estão colocando nesse projeto, em todos os níveis da empresa, e isso realmente transparece. É difícil descrever como é fazer parte de uma equipe em que todos os integrantes, extremamente talentosos, dão vida à próxima história de Indiana Jones.

Qual é a sua parte favorita do trabalho?

Desde pequeno, sempre adorei jogos, e ficava maravilhado com os mundos que os estúdios criavam ao longo dos anos. Quando tive a oportunidade de entrar na MachineGames, foi um sonho que virou realidade!

Quando comecei, ficava constantemente impressionado com o trabalho incrível que acontecia no estúdio. E esse é um sentimento que ainda volta de tempos em tempos, mesmo depois de quase cinco anos na empresa.

O que faz a MachineGames se destacar, na minha opinião, são as pessoas. Nunca estive numa empresa com tantas personalidades incríveis e variadas, unidas por uma paixão comum. Há uma enorme variedade não só em termos de habilidades, mas também de histórias, nacionalidades e culturas.

O que te inspira no seu trabalho no estúdio?

Adoro ver as consequências diretas do que eu e minha equipe fazemos. Projetar a infraestrutura e observar como ela evolui e se adapta a diferentes necessidades, e como ela permite criar os mundos que queremos mostrar aos outros, faz todos os dias valerem a pena.

Estou num cargo em que posso projetar e implementar muitas soluções que terão um grande impacto para centenas de pessoas. Esse nível de responsabilidade e de confiança que os outros têm em mim é pessoalmente muito inspirador.

Quais outros jogos ou estúdios te inspiraram a entrar na indústria de jogos?

Nossa, foram tantos jogos ao longo dos anos. Acho que os primeiros em que eu e meu irmão nos viciamos foram Disciples 2 e a lendária série Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit! A primeira série que deixou eu e meus amigos totalmente viciados deve ter sido Halo, que foi incrível jogar de novo quando lançaram a Master Chief Collection.

Sempre fui fã dos jogos da Bethesda e passei centenas de horas na série Elder Scrolls. Outras séries que me vêm à mente são Borderlands, Call of Duty e Total War.

Do que você acha que o público mais vai gostar em Indiana Jones e o Grande Círculo quando ele for lançado no final do ano?

Acho que o fator nostalgia vai ser muito grande pra muitos jogadores! Os personagens e a história são *muito* fiéis a Indiana Jones, sem deixar de ser um verdadeiro jogo da MachineGames. Essa combinação, espero, criará algo único que muitos vão adorar.

Qual foi a aventura mais memorável na sua vida real?

Provavelmente o período que minha família passou no Zimbábue, quando eu era criança, e algumas viagens à África do Sul depois disso. Fazer safári um final de semana inteiro foi uma experiência incrível.

Há alguns anos, eu e uns amigos fizemos uma viagem de moto de uma semana pela Noruega. O único jeito de descrever essa viagem é: espanto diante da beleza extraordinária daquele país. Com certeza vou fazer outra viagem assim num futuro próximo!

Gostaria de compartilhar mais alguma coisa?

A MachineGames é um lugar maravilhoso de se trabalhar. Conheci muita gente incrível desde que iniciei, adquiri muito conhecimento sobre a indústria e cresci mais do que eu esperava, tanto pessoal quanto profissionalmente.

Não tem sido uma jornada fácil. Tipo, passamos por toda uma pandemia. Mas seguimos fortes, e a ideia de estar *quase* no final do projeto depois desses anos todos é emocionante, assustadora e quase surreal.

Didrik Breitholtz

O QUE VOCÊ ACHA GRATIFICANTE EM SUA FUNÇÃO NA MACHINEGAMES?

Eu tive várias funções durante meus anos na MachineGames. Inicialmente, entrei como testador de garantia de qualidade em 2012 para o Wolfenstein: The New Order. Depois, fui o Technical Level Designer durante o Wolfenstein: The New Colossus e, a partir daí, passei a fazer o design de fases.

Sempre encontrei uma maneira de ajudar, independentemente da função que desempenhava, e acho que o que mais gostei foi a colaboração entre os departamentos. Trabalhar em conjunto para resolver problemas ou compartilhar ideias é muito gratificante e uma ótima maneira de unir a equipe, e é aí que eu sinto que ser um Level Designer é uma ótima opção.

O QUE TORNA SEU TRABALHO NA MACHINEGAMES SIGNIFICATIVO PARA VOCÊ?

Para mim, os jogos são uma forma de escapar da vida monótona de crescer em um vilarejo no interior, e acho que essa é uma história bastante comum para muitos.
A maioria de nós vê os jogos como um hobby ou uma forma de relaxar depois de um dia agitado na escola ou no trabalho, mas eles também ajudam as pessoas que estão passando por momentos difíceis, proporcionando um local de refúgio. É aí que encontro sentido no que estamos fazendo como desenvolvedores de jogos.

DESDE QUE INGRESSOU NA MACHINEGAMES, QUAIS SÃO ALGUMAS DAS REALIZAÇÕES OU CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE QUE VOCÊ MAIS SE ORGULHA?

Contribuí para todos os jogos que lançamos até agora, seja como testador ou level designer. Meu projeto favorito é provavelmente Wolfenstein: The New Order, só pelo fato de as coisas serem novas para mim naquela época.

Foi uma ótima experiência, com muito trabalho duro e muitas viradas de noite (algumas delas se transformaram em manhãs e tardes). Eu adorava a responsabilidade de garantir que cada parte do jogo estivesse com a qualidade pretendida pelos desenvolvedores. Eu tenho orgulho de ter participado dessa primeira produção, porque ela mostra para que tipo de jogos este estúdio foi criado e o que podemos fazer.

Minha contribuição técnica para o design de fases foi durante Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, em que minha principal tarefa era garantir que o mundo em que você estivesse causasse o mínimo de incômodo possível.
Isso significa, basicamente, reconstruir todas as superfícies jogáveis do jogo e transformá-las em ladrilhos uniformes para que você, como jogador, possa se movimentar sem ficar preso ou agarrado às superfícies e, às vezes, até mesmo para ajudar a orientar os jogadores através de portas ou garantir que um salto difícil em uma grande distância seja mais fácil, oferecendo alguns centímetros extras para correr antes de cair. Minha contribuição mais proeminente como level designer foi meu primeiro desafio nessa função: a Gestapo Tower de Wolfenstein: Youngblood.

Além da missão principal da campanha, também contribuí para as missões secundárias, incluindo uma sabotagem de propaganda, uma fuga de prisão e uma missão de recuperação de informações. Eu supervisionei o layout da fase e o roteiro de todas as missões.

Mariusz Macieja

QUAL É A MELHOR PARTE DE SER UM PRODUCER NA MACHINEGAMES?

A melhor coisa do meu trabalho é que não existe uma rotina diária. A qualquer momento, posso estar trabalhando com game designers para dividir suas ideias em tarefas específicas, discutindo problemas de implementação com programadores ou me certificando de que o feedback artístico seja compreensível e viável... ou posso passar o dia inteiro nas planilhas e no rastreador de bugs quando estamos perto do lançamento.

Todas essas são partes muito importantes do meu trabalho e eu não gostaria que fosse diferente. Como desenvolvedores de jogos, tendemos a começar a desenvolver um novo jogo com ideias extremamente ambiciosas que (por vários motivos) acabam sendo reduzidas ou até mesmo totalmente cortadas do jogo.

Como parte do meu trabalho, tento ajudar as equipes a analisar as ideias, planejar o trabalho futuro e melhorar a maneira como elas se comunicam, para que possamos entregar um ótimo jogo dentro do prazo, sem grandes falhas, cortando o mínimo possível da intenção original. Tentar alcançar isso, aperfeiçoar e preservar a intenção original do jogo, é o que torna meu trabalho significativo.

VOCÊ ESTÁ EMPOLGADO COM O FUTURO DA MACHINEGAMES?

Comecei a trabalhar na MachineGames no início de 2020 e, até agora, tudo em que estou trabalhando ainda é segredo, mas espero já ter causado algum impacto, e acredite em mim quando digo que o melhor ainda está por vir!
