We’re beyond excited to share some incredible news:

**Microsoft has invested in our game, Echo: Defy Death, to help bring it to Xbox!**

This milestone marks a huge step forward not just for our studio, 3Hills, but for the entire gaming ecosystem in our region. Being recognized and supported by a global giant like Microsoft is both humbling and energizing — it affirms our vision, our work, and the love we’ve poured into Echo: Defy Death over the past year.

# Bringing Echo to Xbox

Through the ID@Xbox program, Microsoft is supporting us with funding and technical resources to ensure that Echo: Defy Death is optimized for Xbox consoles. This means console players around the world will soon be able to immerse themselves in our dark, fast-paced action roguelike on the big screen.
For those unfamiliar, Echo: Defy Death is a stylized action roguelike where you descend into the world of darkness as a blind ninja and fight enemies and bosses using echolocation. The game features a fluid combat system, branching power upgrades, and a unique narrative that shifts based on your decisions — will you fight for redemption, or embrace the darkness?

# More Than Just a Port

Getting backing from Microsoft isn’t just a win for us — it's proof that indie teams from smaller markets can create globally appealing games. We started 3Hills with a dream to make games that matter and put Montenegro on the global gaming map. This partnership with Microsoft is a powerful step in that direction.

# Thank You for the Support

We want to thank our amazing community and every single player who hit that wishlist button, shared a video, or dropped feedback. You're the reason we’re here.
We also extend our thanks to **Microsoft and the ID@Xbox** team for believing in us and investing in our vision.

And of course, we remain deeply grateful to **Digital Den**, our local incubator, for giving us the early tools and belief to start this journey.

Stay tuned as we reach more awesome milestones!

Sa velikim uzbuđenjem dijelimo nevjerovatne vijesti:

**Microsoft je investirao u našu igru, Echo: Defy Death, kako bi nam pomogao da je donesemo na Xbox!**


Ova prekretnica predstavlja ogroman korak napred, ne samo za naš studio, 3Hills, već i za cijelu gejming industriju u našem regionu. Biti prepoznat i podržan od strane globalnog giganta kao što je Microsoft za nas je velika čast i podsticaj — potvrđuje našu viziju, rad i ljubav koju smo uložili u Echo: Defy Death tokom protekle godine.

# Put do Xbox-a

Kroz ID@Xbox program, Microsoft nas podržava finansijski i tehnički kako bismo osigurali da Echo: Defy Death bude optimizovan za Xbox konzole. To znači da će igrači na konzolama širom svijeta uskoro moći da zarone u naš mračni, brzi akcioni-roguelike svijet na velikom ekranu.
Za one koji nisu upoznati: Echo: Defy Death je stilizovana akciona roguelike igra u kojoj silazite u svijet tame kao slijepi nindža, boreći se protiv neprijatelja i bosova koristeći eholokaciju. Igra sadrži dinamičan borbeni sistem, grane za unapređenje sposobnosti i jedinstvenu naraciju koja se mijenja u zavisnosti od vaših odluka — da li ćete se boriti za iskupljenje, ili prigrliti tamu?

# Više od običnog porta

Podrška od strane Microsofta nije samo naša pobjeda — to je dokaz da indie timovi iz manjih tržišta mogu da stvaraju igre koje imaju globalni potencijal. 3Hills smo osnovali sa snom da pravimo igre koje se istaći u svijetu i da stavimo Crnu Goru na globalnu gejming mapu. Partnerstvo sa Microsoftom je snažan korak ka ostvarenju tog cilja.

# Hvala na podršci

Želimo da se zahvalimo našoj nevjerovatnoj zajednici i svakom igraču koji je dodao igru na wishlistu, podijelio video ili ostavio povratnu informaciju. Vi ste razlog zbog kog smo danas ovdje.
Posebno hvala **Microsoftu i ID@Xbox timu** što su vjerovali u nas i investirali u našu viziju.

I naravno, duboko smo zahvalni i **Digital Den-u**, našem lokalnom inkubatoru, koji nam je pružio prve alate i motivisao da započnemo ovo putovanje.
Ostanite uz nas dok nastavljamo da koračamo ka novim velikim uspjesima!

Tim 3Hills

Exciting News: We’re Joining Google Play’s Indie Games Accelerator Class of 2024!

Hey fellas, we started our year by giving you a new gameplay trailer to accompany the launch of the official Copperfields demo!

**Copperfields shows us a fascinating new ecosystem that grew over a once-booming city of robots**. The player enters the story as a lost and confused protagonist on a journey to find their place in the world, exploring the garden of Copperfields while avoiding danger.
**Inspired by titles like Rain World and Inside**, the flow of the game switches between dynamic exploration of zipping through branches and pipes to solving mechanical puzzles with lots of cogs.

![3-ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif](/uploads/3_ezgif_com_optimize_1_33acfa8dfd.gif)

**The Demo, which is now live on Steam, showcases the intro to the story**, guiding the player through the rabbit hole of Copperfields. The setting features mechanical infrastructures left behind by the robot civilization and an in-depth view of the overgrown landscape with strange plants and growths that the player can explore.

![Jumpingoverobstacles-ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif](/uploads/Jumpingoverobstacles_ezgif_com_optimize_1_7bc99e2d62.gif)

**Copperfields is our first Indie game**, and the art shows the team's ambition. Not to mention that **the Demo was in development for only six months**. The team is working hard to provide as much content as possible and is updating the demo with new features. 

For regular updates, visit our [Steam page](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2578740/Copperfields/), try out the Demo, and add the game to your wishlist so you don't miss the full game's launch.

Ćao ekipo! Ovu godinu smo započeli tako što smo predstavili novi gameplay trejler koji prati lansiranje demo verzije Copperfieldsa!

**Copperfields prikazuje fascinantan novi ekosistem koji je narastao iznad nekada raskošnog grada robota**. Igrač ulazi u priču kao izgubljeni protagonist sa ciljem da pronađe svoje mjesto u svijetu, istražujući vrt Copperfieldsa dok izbjegava opasnost. 
**Inspirisan naslovima poput Rain World i Limbo**, tok igre se mijenja između dinamičnog istraživanja kroz grane i cijevi do rješavanja mehaničkih zagonetki sa mnogo zupčanika.

![3-ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif](/uploads/3_ezgif_com_optimize_1_33acfa8dfd.gif)

**Demo, koji je sada dostupan na Steamu, prikazuje uvod u priču**, vodeći igrača kroz dubine Copperfieldsa.

![Jumpingoverobstacles-ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif](/uploads/Jumpingoverobstacles_ezgif_com_optimize_1_7bc99e2d62.gif)

**Copperfields je naša prva Indie igra**, a art stil pokazuje ambicije tima. Da ne spominjemo da je **Demo bio u razvoju svega šest mjeseci**. Tim naporno radi kako bi pružio što više sadržaja i redovno ažurira demo novim funkcijama.

Nedavno smo se upustili u nezaboravnu avanturu u Zagrebu, Hrvatska, povodom eventa Reboot Infogamer 2023. Ovaj događaj obeležio je predstavljanje naše prve PC igre, Copperfields, u njihovoj Indie Zoni. Nismo ni slutili da će ovo iskustvo nadmašiti sva naša očekivanja i pokazati se kao prekretnica u našem razvoju kao indie developera.
## Iskustvo u Indie Zoni
Ulazeći u Indie Zonu, dočekala nas je entuzijastična grupa gejmera, svi željni da se zarone u svijet Copperfieldsa. Stotine ljudi testiralo je našu igru, a njihov feedback je neprocjenjiv. Pozitivni komentari su bili vezani za viziju igre, osećaj tokom igre, dizajn i vizuelno iskustvo ali samu priču (backstory). Osim toga, dobili smo konstruktivne povratne informacije o dizajnu nivoa i identifikovali oblasti za poboljšanje našeg Demo-a, koji uskoro predstavljamo široj javnosti.
## Dodatna Motivacija
Nakon četiri mjeseca neumornog rada, iskustvo na Reboot Infogamer 2023 je rezultiralo velikom dozom dodatne motivacije za nas tim. Pozitivne povratne informacije iz playtestova služile su kao validacija našeg napornog rada ali i same ideje za igru. Sama činjenica da igrači cijene suštinu naše igre je neverovatno ohrabrujuća za nas. Podsjetilo nas je zašto smo uopšte krenuli na ovaj put razvoja indie igara.

![capsule1000x403.2.png](/uploads/capsule1000x403_2_06fb4d2f78.png)

## Nominacija za Najbolju Indie Igru 2023
Jedan od vrhunaca našeg iskustva na Reboot Infogamer 2023 bio je dobijanje nominacije za nagradu "Najbolja Indie Igra 2023". Ovo priznanje došlo je od sudija koji su široko poštovani eksperti u industriji video igara. Ovo nije bilo samo tapšanje po ramenu, već realna validacija iz industrije da sa Copperfieldsom idemo ka nečemu posebnom. Duboko smo počašćeni što smo nominovani, i to dalje podstiče našu odlučnost za rad na ovoj igri.
## Naša Vizija
U srcu našeg razvojnog puta leži vizija - stvaranje igre koja ostavlja trajan utisak. Cilj nam je da stvorimo iskustvo koje, kad je igrate, osetite nešto jedinstveno i nezaboravno. Copperfields je samo početna tačka u tom dugoročnom putu.
## Zaključak
Reboot Infogamer 2023 je bio događaj koji ne samo da je prevazišao naša očekivanja, već nas je i motivisao da idemo korak dalje. Sa Demo izdanjem na horizontu i nominacijom za Najbolju Indie Igru 2023 kao dokaz našeg napretka, sada smo posvećeniji nego ikad da od Copperfieldsa napravimo igru koju ćete pamtiti. A ostalim indie developerima samo mozemo iskreno preporuciti da ucestvuju na ovom dogadjaju jer je to savršena prilika da se igrači upoznaju sa vašim radom ali i da testirate vaše kreacije.

Sjajna vijest za sve gejmere! Saradnja Uniqa Entertainment-a i 3Hills-a rezultirala je stvaranjem PC igre pod nazivom Team Five, što je čini **prvom PC igrom u portfoliju 3Hills-a**. Zvanični trejler, kao i sve informacije, snimci ekrana i gifovi su **sada dostupni na Stream stranici** [Team Five](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2284160/Team_Five/)! Ova uzbudljiva online multiplayer igrica stiže uskoro!

Sada dostupno i na Steam [STRANICI](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2284160/Team_Five/)!

Team Five se vodi jednostavnim pravilima: **Pet životinja. Pet izlaza. Pet minuta**. Idealna za one koji uživaju u izazovima! Igrači moraju da se kreću kroz dinamičnu mapu sa tačno pet izlaza dok upravljaju timom od pet životinja, sve u kratkom vremenskom okviru od samo pet minuta. Krajnji cilj? Prikupiti više blaga od rivalskog tima prije nego što vrijeme istekne.

![ezgif.com-optimize (2).gif](/uploads/ezgif_com_optimize_2_eebabf2b4c.gif)

*„Oduševljeni smo što možemo da predstavimo Team Five gejming zajednici“*, rekla je Jelena Janković, izvršna direktorka gejming studija 3Hills. *„Naš tim je uložio svoju strast, kreativnost i stručnost u kreiranje ovog remek-dela. To je igra koja izaziva igrače da razmišljaju brzo, pružajući novo i osvježavajuće gejming iskustvo uz kombinovane elemente ekstrakcije, strategije, upravljanja vremenom i akcije.”*

3Hills je nadmašio sva očekivanja sa svojim timom veoma kreativnih gejm dizajnera, artistai programera. A ako ste ikada igrali [Starbland](https://3hills.io/starblind) ili [BallyJump](https://3hills.io/bally-jump), primijetićete da ovaj tim voli lasere, a Team Five nije bio izuzetak.

![ezgif.com-optimize (1).gif](/uploads/ezgif_com_optimize_1_9136937cde.gif)

Ova PC igra nudi širok asortiman prilagodljivog oružja koji se može nadograditi, a to su: naravno laseri, fotonski pištolji, pištolji sa mjehurićima i bazuke. Bitno je naglasiti da teren takođe prima štetu, što znači, tokom same igre, tlo se urušava i nestaje. Zato malo strateškog razmišljanja nije na odmet! 

![ezgif.com-video-to-gif (2).gif](/uploads/ezgif_com_video_to_gif_2_0d99bd0314.gif)

Po završetku 5-minutnog meča, vrijeme je da uberete plodove svojih teško vođenih bitki. Sada prava zabava počinje!

TeamFive: Prva PC igrica 3Hills-a dostupna na Stream-u

3Hills’ first PC Game: TeamFive Now Live on Steam

On March 3rd, 3Hills gaming studio organized its first Montenegro Game Jam in Podgorica! Ten teams accepted the challenge to create video games in just 48 hours, with the theme **"8 Seconds"**. Although the competition was fierce and the topic abstract, the event attracted participants of various ages, showing significant interest in game development in Montenegro.

The first place took a team of high school students, **"TFG code"**, who created a game called **"Times up."** They combined their humor and skills to create a unique game and make fun of today's society. The game is set in an underground world. It follows the story of George, whose uncle pulled his connections to arrange for him a job as a Grim Reaper.

Upon starting his new role, George gets a black robe, a scythe, and a simple task - to take human souls. However, the management has a strict no-tolerance policy for favoritism. George must complete the job in 8 seconds to prove himself worthy of the job. The "Times Up" game demands speed and unwavering focus from the player, making it incredibly challenging and comical. Whenever a player fails, the management sends a notification stating that George has been fired with a note that reads, *"Remember George, you're supposed to kill them!"*

*"All participants showed incredible creativity and readiness to fulfill the challenge."* said Andrija Dragojević, project manager of 3Hills, adding, *"It is highly challenging to create a fully operational game in just 48 hours! Nevertheless, I am proud of all the participants who participated in our Game Jam and showcased their abilities!"*

While the Game Jam champions were dealing with life after death, the **Alicorn** team was inspired by a real social problem that they showcased humorously. **"Quantum Ovaries"** game shows the brilliant scientist Ozana who is about to turn 30 and has only 8 seconds to bear a child to fulfill her mother's wish. The heroine finds a solution by extending her 8-second biological clock using her invented quantum magic. This funny game won the hearts of many, so the judges had the severe challenge of choosing the winner.

The games were evaluated based on several criteria, such as the fundamental concept, originality, innovation, and overall gameplay experience. "TFG code" undoubtedly stood out in all these aspects!

Even though our first and second-place winners took the spotlight, we need to make a few more honorable mentions:  **"Catastrophe"** team made an impression with their game **"Next Target in T-8 Seconds,"** while the **"D++"** team presented their game **"Over My Dead Body,"** and you can probably guess what that one is about!

If you want to play one of the games from Game Jam, you can do so via this [link](https://itch.io/jam/montenegro-game-jam/feed).

3Hills gaming studio je 3. marta ogranizovao svoj prvi Montenegro Game Jam u Podgorici! Deset timova je prihvatilo izazov da kreiraju video igre u samo 48 sati, na temu **"8 sekundi”**. Iako je takmičenje samo po sebi bilo izazovno, a tema apstraktna, ovaj događaj je privukao učesnike različitih uzrasta, pokazujući da postoji značajno interesovanje za razvoj igara na crnogorskom području.

Prvo mjesto je ni manje ni više osvojio tim srednjoškolaca **“TFG code”** koji napravio igru pod nazivom **“Times up”**. Oni su na šaljiv način spojili nespojivo - život nakon smrti i stigmu koja prati današnje društvo. Radnja se dešava u podzemnom svijetu, u kom postoji glavni junak Džordž kojem ujak “završava” posao preko veze, i “ubacuje” ga na poziciju Smrti.

Džordž je dobio svoju crnu odoru, kosu i prost zadatak - da uzima ljudske duše. Međutim, menadžment ne toleriše protekciju, pa kako bi se dokazao na probnom radu, zahtijevaju od Džordža da posao završi u 8 sekundi! “Times up” igrica od igrača zahtijeva brzinu i punu pažnju, čineći je izuzetno teškom ali i komičnom. Svaki put kada igrač izgubi, menadžment šalje poruku obavještenja da je Džordž dobio otkaz ili napomenu *“Zapamti Džordž, trebalo je da ih ubiješ”*!

*"Na Montenegro Game Jam-u smo svjedočili nevjerovatnoj kreativnosti i spremnosti koja je karakterisala sve učesnike.”* kazao je Andrija Dragojević, projektni menadžer 3Hills-a, pa zatim dodao  *“U tako kratkom roku od 48h napraviti igru koja funkcioniše je nevjerovatan poduhvat, zbog čega tvrdim da svako ko je učestvovao je na neki način pobijedio!"*

Dok su se prvaci bavili životom posle smrti, tim **Alicorn** je za inspiraciju uzeo stvarni problem društva koji je kroz igricu na šaljiv način htio da približi publici. **"Quantum Ovaries"** igrica prikazuje brilijantnu naučnicu Ozanu koja uskoro puni 30 godina, a i ima samo 8 sekundi da rodi dijete kako njena majka ne bi bila razočarana. Junakinja nalazi rješenje u produžavanju svojih 8 sekundi biološkog sata pomoću kvantne magije koju je osmislila. Ova šaljiva igra osvojila je srca mnogih, pa su i same sudije imale ozbiljan izazov u odabiru pobjednika. 

Naravno, igre su bile ocjenjivanje po osnovnoj ideji, originalnosti, inovativnosti kao i po tome koliko je prijatno bilo igrati igricu, a “TFG code” je tu svakako briljirao.

Pored prvog i drugog mjesta, na takmičenju su se istakli i drugi timovi sa kreativnim rješenjima, uključujući **"Katastrofa"** tim sa igrom **"Next Target in T-8 seconds"** i **"D++"** tim sa igrom **"Over my dead body",** a vi sami pretpostavite o čemu je tu riječ!
