PC Gaming: PeaceMaker Brings The Israeli-Palestinian Struggle To Gaming
PeaceMaker — under development by Asi Burak, a 34-year-old former Israeli intelligence officer, and Eric Brown, a 29-year-old game developer with a degree in painting — will have players managing hot-spot situations such as car bombings and assassinations as either the Israeli prime minister or Palestinian authority president.
While most serious game developers seem to accept the fact that their games have too narrow of an audience to bring in sizable amounts of dough, Brown, Burak and their newly formed company ImpactGames intend on changing that. They not only want to educate and inform with their game, but also reach mass-market penetration. The game’s $300,000 to $500,000 development cost is provided by people “interested not only in the investment, but the social cause,” according to Burak. The game is expected to release for PC and Mac in downloadable form.
