Hi. My name is Julian. Desperoto – A part of life adventure about childhood and football in Quito, Ecuador, 2001. Myself and the team are happy to stop by Xbox Wire today to announce that our game will be coming to Xbox Series X|S in 2024. We can also announce today that: Desperoto The game will be part of Tribeca’s 2023 Festival selection, and the game will Untitled goose game and fire watch to the world.
in the meantime Desperoto This is just a game about soccer and you don’t have to actually play every soccer match or even understand the rules. Instead, our games focus on the essential fun of childhood—kicking a soccer ball around with friends on the go, talking about your day at school…and possibly annoying your neighbors in the process. We focus on applying
In 2001, Ecuador was on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup. Ecuador had never qualified for the World Cup before, but as a country recovering from a major financial crisis, the idea of qualifying filled the community with hope and optimism. Learning about the people of Quito while playing soccer with friends and feeling the energy from the community while exploring Desperoto is about.
Together with our friend and artist Sebastian Valbuena, we set out to create a game that is not only visually distinctive, but conveys a strong and tangible sense of place.This is partly due to Desperoto I grew up in Quito, Ecuador at the time, so the game was semi-autobiographical and getting it right was important to me. You also play as a boy named Julian, but he’s not a direct one-on-one mirror to me.
To give the player a true picture of Ecuador, I took pictures and recorded audio during my trip to Quito. These are now used in-game as items such as building textures and dialogue you hear when exploring streets. Sebastian does a great job of hand-painting not only the animals we encounter during our stay in Quito, but also our characters. The game is fully voiced in Spanish with localized subtitles according to your preferences.
That’s why Desperate: A bittersweet, sometimes dreamy, semi-autobiographical tale of how football affects a region and its culture. We hope you’ll visit Quito when the game launches on Xbox in 2024. Best regards, Garcias!
