EGS is a small group of indy games programers, who get born from the intention of some folks to shape their stupid and crazy ideas in a videogame, and started in the moment that one of the EGS member found Div2, a program which allows users to create a videogame easily, in the nearest kiosk in their town.
History
EGS was form at the end of 98 accidentally, without any intention of creating a programing group at all. We were just a bunch of kids who enjoyed getting into the world of videogame development, while we were planning a revenge against a motherfucker who dared to draw us in a graffiti. Me and my friends, we though that the best way to take revenge would be to make something that he would never be able to do: a videogame. So we made a planification, we distributed the work and the project started. The programing was made in order, with one programing each day and the others making the graphics.
The group logo is no more than a copy of the SNK's logo. We consider ourselves big fans of this company. The EGS is an abbreviations of the spahish words "Esos Gillipollas Studio", which means something like "Those Assholes Studio", that is the words we imagined the guy would say when he has seen the game.
Considering that it was our first game, and the fact that we didn't know anything about programing at all, we decided to take the easy way and we took the famous Fostiator code as base, and after one year of hard work Total Devastation got born. Regardless the game is old, buggy and very bad done, Total Devastation has a special feeling coming from the ilusion of those guys, who was entering in the videogame world for the first time.
So finally, Total Devastation was developed in the year 2000, and finally got into the hands of the guy who inspired us in its creation. The bad news is that we couldn't see the fucker face in the moment he saw the game, witch makes the joke less funny to be honest.
In this moment EGS doesn't exist as group anymore. The EGS logo is currency been used by myself for the Total Devastation 2 development, that will be the last game under this seal for ever and ever.
