Nomion Games announced that Jean Tyulegenov, former lead game designer at Battlestate Games, has joined as creative director for the new shooter 'Rush is Real'. Tyulegenov, described as the 'number two' figure after Nikita Buyanov, conceived the idea for the game while working on 'Escape from Tarkov'. He left Battlestate Games in May after the game's official release.
Nomion Games confirmed on August 7 that Jean Tyulegenov, who left Battlestate Games in May, will lead development of 'Rush is Real' as creative director. The studio was founded by Dmitri Ogorodnikov, former global PR head at Battlestate Games, and German Terekhov, former PR manager, after differences over development and promotion emerged following Tarkov's official release.
Tyulegenov joined Battlestate Games in 2017, initially creating quests for six months before building the game design department and serving as its head. His work spanned mechanics, weapon and armor performance, economy balancing, maps, missions, AI, and in-game events. He said the concept for 'Rush is Real' came to him while working on Tarkov, and Ogorodnikov immediately understood its core potential.
