This man shaped so many of my childhood imagery. I even chose my engineering profession based on that imagery, and my love of technology partially stems from that. Mr. Antonov is a genius, no doubt about that. Thank you Sir, thank you
I'm replaying Dishonored at the moment. The world is a beautiful dystopia, it's so well thought out. The visuals and sound are mapped together brilliantly. More games/movies should make use of this guy.
Awesome. Love it when a great technical artist also knows how to delve deep into the why and how, the script, the story, and pulling from a variety of interesting sources. :D
Fun fact: He got inspiration from eastern european cities when he designed City 17 in Half Life 2. Specially Sofia (Bulgaria), where he was born. Now you can go and compare the map of City 17 from Half Life:Alyx and the map of Sofia. I think it is a little tribute to Antonov by the game developers.
What an incredible designer, my personal hero in the game industry.

Thanks for this very interesting interview GameInformer.
Amazing and awesome game wonderfully job to all
I pray that I am this influential one day
Lol it sounds like a lot of Dishonoured's character design is just massive shade thrown at English people
😆😆✨
