The Name of the Game

"The Name of the Game" is a documentary that follows the collaboration between Eugene Jarvis, a legendary arcade game designer, and Housemarque, a Finnish game developer. Together, they embark on a three-year journey to create a spiritual successor to the 1980s hit game Robotron. The film provides an unprecedented look into the unpredictable and often crazy world of game development, as the team faces challenges and obstacles along the way. Through uncensored footage and interviews, the documentary offers a unique glimpse into the creative process and the passion that drives game developers to push the boundaries of their craft. In the end, their hard work and dedication result in the critically acclaimed PS4/PC title Nex Machina, a game that pays homage to the classic arcade shooter while also offering a fresh and exciting gaming experience.
