What is the Crucible?

One of the mysterious, high-budget projects developed by Amazon's teams to enter the world of video games. Crucible was announced in September 2016 as a web-based science fiction shooter with elements of a survival simulator. Although the May release was recently announced, we still don't know anything beyond what was announced four years ago.

What's gameplay like in Crucible?

If the formula has not changed drastically over the past few years, then Crucible will offer matches for up to 13 players. A dozen other players will get to a large map, where they will fight to be the last man standing, along the way forging sketchy alliances, betraying others in the right moment, or just openly attacking everyone. The 13th user will play as the game master, able to activate various traps and making sure the coverage on Twitch is entertaining – the game is designed with the streaming platform in mind.

He started with amateur websites, which he coded himself in HTML, then he moved on to increasingly larger portals. A computer engineer, but he was always more drawn to writing than programming, and he decided to tie his future with the former. In games, he primarily looks for stories, emotions, and immersion that no other medium can provide - hence, among his favorite titles, are games focusing on narration. Believes that NieR: Automata is the best game ever made.
