* According to the Steam statistics, 2+ millions of players downloaded and launched the game.
* Vostok Engine was developed from the ground up. It consists of 120+ projects and over a million lines of code: game client, servers, launcher, downloader and updater, installer and various deployment utilities.
* The engine contains modern physically correct render, runs on multiple PC configurations including embedded video cards, produces smooth frame rate, has a tiny network traffic, is unbelievably strong against bad network conditions and has a minimal load on server CPU, carefully distributing the load among client CPU cores.
* A new network synchronization scheme, which we call An Asynchronous Determinism, was introduced. I am going to publish an article with the description of the way it works.
* For the project S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl I introduced and implemented an ALife - life simulation system by the game characters. It became one of the key features of the game and contributed a lot to the popularity and profitability of the project significantly increasing game replayability. Subsequently, the players created a large number of modifications of the game using this system.
* Non-person characters AI is considered one of the greatest game strengths. The implementation of the animal-like characters is still a reference for other games.
* After 7 years of development, we eventually did release the project S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, which became the best-selling game in the former USSR countries and has the most sold copies still.
The projects: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat'; Survarium.
