I.N.T. Interview: Suzerain’s Ata on "Losing Political Agency in Modern Society"

Dear Citizens of the Suzerainverse,

We’re excited to share a new press highlight we can’t recommend enough! Torpor Games’ Co-Founder and Managing Director, Ata Sergey Nowak, sat down with Japan-based publication I.N.T. Magazine while they were in Cologne during Gamescom last year to discuss Suzerain and the deep ties between politics and games. We’ve been looking forward to this feature for a long time, and it’s finally here!

In conversation with independent game critic Jini and Why So Serious? Inc. CEO Daichi Saito, Ata reflects on how Suzerain was designed to capture the moral complexity of leadership. The interview dives into his background in history and political science, and how these influences shaped the game’s exploration of universal political dilemmas within a fictional setting.

For long-time Suzerain fans, a quick note: this interview was conducted in August 2024, so some priorities have shifted since then.

I.N.T. Magazine describes itself as a platform for learning from “others” across the globe in order to inspire deeper, more compelling games. It was a real honor to speak with Jini and Daichi, and we’re thrilled to share the results with you.
