we met causally

for the year 2003 among a group of

friends we started a design studio

he was looking for marketed

our jobs in what was

multimedia and new technologies that was

what we were doing in that

moment

this study was called homo videns and

as part of mobiles we develop a

contest that was called culture vain he

same had great impact at the national level

and following this contest

many people related to us are

communicated one of the people who

communicated was a student who was

doing his degree thesis

the same as it was about issues

multimedia and good this person who is

communicated with us turned out to be

honest and say how we met

we are always supe

impressed with their skills in 3d

being so young

one of my biggest concerns when

I was in college was the lack of

value towards the design profession and

in many cases a disregard for

part of the people and my thesis to see what

pass said to efe the source

basically and he interviewed the

different types of companies and

design studies and it was just when

I knew before

we immediately became big

friends the important thing is that despite

that we were so different

we shared certain aspects in common

we share the same ideals

professionals

we wanted to be valued our

profession as such for which the

worked hard and show the work to

people and understand what it meant

the design but above all things

of love towards our profession

years later we went back to

find in a project and we met

Javier Javier was the designer of

plant worked 8 hours

like all professionals but when

It ended with his passion that

illustration and it stayed up high

night hours

11 12 at night they are simply

and something very interesting and it was that a

day they exchanged the archives

for this project because I do not know the

deja vu computer

he opened his desk I asked him

if it’s a graphic that I loved

I asked him if he had done it and so

I always ask that and almost always

the answer is no

somebody google things go down already

but this time he was the third person

he told me that if he had his background and we

much attention actually

what was he doing

we became good friends always

we were talking about what if

we make a project of this type of voice

something similar because I’m in an excellent

moment to think part of that I

I was at the university in a position

administrative has been more than two years

it was a good place in a good salary

but I just felt empty

I felt that I was not doing

that had been so many years

so I decided to present the project

of great trip in one of the units of

faculty investigation

I immediately called Javier before

important was and how difficult really

that I did not have a budget as such

I only had hours to work

I did not know how they were going to take in a

home without hesitation they said we want

be there and really values ​​or start

I value it a lot because I approached my

colleagues from the university to

which could be given hours and I

they said no thanks

it’s more one of them told me you’re not going to

to be able to make video games in the equator is

impossible that to me motivated me a lot

more and made me really value myself from

who was surrounding me I always wanted

meet people who believe in what

are and andres and ernesto are those

people who more than being very

talented and very professional in what

they do have values ​​that make them

unique and I identified a lot with

them before is very dreamer is very

realistic and we always have those themes

talk with that we always get hooked

and we have those ideas that we want

develop but when you have dreams

when you have those ideals and

you need a component that lands

those ideas and in this one is that person he

knows how to make a dream come true

become reality that’s why I

loved this project and I can say

that when you start working

with them we could be very sincere

the among us when the them

they came and he told me javier has to

change this has to be like this I

I took it as a way of learning

more than a criticism if I believe that

I can not criticize your work

Because they

they are also very honest with what

that with what they can receive from me and

that’s how we embarked on a new

professional world

a super recurring question since

the great trip was launched is because I play

cane because it would not be super clear that

us being ecuadorians

let’s make a game of girls game

samurai robots of things by the

style

when they are completely unrelated things to

our culture and our territory

in the same way as our parents

who develop games outside the

country or movies or science topics

fantasy fiction have always been fixed

in the places where it comes from

that’s why children and loves

They are famous in the world because

people who developed these

games always took their places of

origin as a reference as inspiration

for then fictional about it and that

is what we are doing with

the great journey we have taken a culture

which is completely close to us

of which we have a lot

information and there’s a lot of fabric from the

what costs to make science fiction and

We are exporting it and we are safe

that for the eyes of the world the subject

cane and it is extremely exotic and

for all people who like

these issues are things that are never

have seen are not in the imaginary

global and we are sure that this is

a great added value but for the great

trip personages when I resumed showed

the script and I read it I loved it from

immediately had those ingredients

only ones I told him why we can not

do this and immediately I said yes without that

let’s do it net why why because

I liked the idea that we can

transport and revive those those

stories that can be legend but

that are the final story of who

define who we are

as as as humanity as

Ecuadorians as Cuencans that are

there latent the Andean cosmovision is

very rich in all his ideas in all his

graphic and we wanted to show the

videogame from an artistic point that

that had never been seen and I think

that the best thing about the great trip is that there was

months of research that a

we started to aa bosé land to draw or

months of research

we had to read texts is not that

we only enlightened and the

things there but that a

investigation and a bobo zg and then

nobody told us how to make a video game

it was one step at a time and I think we’re still

in this process not one step at a time

step at a time because a problem to the

Once we solve it, it is done

for the new generations that are going

to see us and they will say if they

they could make videogames

we will also be able to do

video game

the human being is nothing more than the

sum of their experiences and decisions to

throughout his life

the keys in our walk are summarized

in dedication effort but on all

the things of love do what one

like to do and that really what they

we want to convey the great journey is not

a video game grand times the story of

dreams and longings that we have the

most people not to mention

all since we are little and that

they simply disappear or are

waiting for the perfect moment to

that we make the decision of gm

I tell them they are wrong

the transcendental decisions of his

life are taken at the most moments

difficult

I really want you to be

transparent and that thinks about that

moment in life where they were

willing to change the world to do

big things

that is during these two years we

we have been going for countless

most good experiences and what

more has caught our attention is that

guys from the city that we have

approached and we have been told that we are

already making video games thanks to the great

travel

before it was thought that making videogames

something impossible that there was no market

they realized they were wrong

the great trip founds

until it opened in a place where

nobody thought that it did not even exist

something but it is not a bet for him

this is really a bet for

ourselves

it was a great opportunity to do things

that we did not know how to do and especially the

opportunity to learn what more

we learned since our

culture

who we were and will see who we are

and the moment this was noticeable

it was in the final stage when we are

making validations of use of

game and we approach one of the

schools of our city and for the first

I had once heard a guy say I

I want to be cañar and many
