Goncharov: Goncharova

Goncharov: Goncharova is a short journaling game following you —a screenwriter, given Martin Scorsese's personal blessing to create a sequel to Goncharov. This sequel will follow Goncahrov's wife, Katya Goncharova, framing the events of the first movie through the lens of her own experiences.

What kind of script will you write?

Goncharov: Goncharova is a pay what you want game, and you can find it here!

Sharing the the dark theme's mobile UI and what I consider to be one of the cooler features of my Goncharov game jam entry (now called Creating Goncharov).

Early on the game asks you to sign into your work computer. If you input a certain name, well... the game adjusts accordingly.

IDs/transcriptions in alt text and below pictures.

[image 1: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a passage designed to look like a computer sign-in screen. The name that's been entered is "Martin Scorsese". /end ID]

[image 2: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a passage designed to look like an email. The email is titled "New Assignment" and is being sent from "Boss" to "Martin Scorsese". The body of the email reads: "Good morning, Mr. Scorsese. I have a very exciting opportunity for you. Later today I'll be pitching a new film—specifically a Goncharov remake—to a group of investors and, of course, I've chosen you to put that pitch together. My meeting is at 11:00 so hopefully you've arrived at work early. If, for whatever reason, you don't think you're the right fit for this project, let me know asap. I can easily find someone else for the job, but we don't have any time to waste. We are all very excited to present you with this opportunity and look forward to seeing what you'll do with this project! Let me know your response as soon as you finish" /end ID]

[image 3: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a narrative passage. The passage reads "You stare at the computer screen for a long while. "Of course I've chosen you." Why of course? You are a prolific director and any project attached to your name is certain to wow investors, but there's one big problem. You haven't seen Goncharov. You haven't even heard of Goncharov before. Whatever, it doesn't matter. Your Martin Scorsese, you can make a masterpiece out of anything. You'll figure something out. Even if you don't have a good idea for the plot, you can always call up Rob and Al, see if you can get them onboard. No investor would turn down a film with Scorsese, De Niro, and Pacino attached to it. You reply to your boss." /end ID]

[image 4: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a passage designed to look like an email. The email is titled "RE: New Assignment" and is being sent from "Martin Scorsese" to "Boss". The body of the email reads: "Good morning to you as well. I'd like to thank you for thinking of me for this project. I can certainly fit it into my busy schedule. You mentioned that you had more details, I urge you to send those along so we can get this ball rolling as soon as possible. This movie won't make itself. Yours, Martin Scorsese" /end ID]

[image 5: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a passage designed to look like an email. The email is titled "RE: New Assignment" and is being sent from "Boss" to "Martin Scorsese". "Al B" has been CC'd. The body of the email reads: "Fantastic! And thank you for responding so promptly. The details are as follows: You need to craft a pitch for a 2023 adaptation of your 1973 classic, Goncharov. We aren't asking you to stray too far from the original. Goncharov is already a masterpiece and our audiences already adore it. This is meant to be a celebration more than anything in honor of the upcoming 50th anniversary. We are very excited to see what you will do given the opportunity to remake Goncharov with access to modern technology, new perspectives you've gained over the years, and (if this pitch goes well) a much bigger budget than you would have had at the start of your career." /end ID]

[image 6: The continuation of the last email described. The email continues: "Deepest apologies for only reaching out to you now, but I'll remind you that unfortunately we only have until 11:00. If possible, I'd also like to go over your ideas and thoughts before I present them to the potential investors, so the earlier you can get this pitch to me, the better. Anyways, go work your magic. Not that it'll be difficult; as Roger Ebert said, "Goncharov is the greatest mafia movie ever made." Whatever you do, I'm sure it will be fantastic." /end ID]

[image 7: A screenshot from Creating Goncharov of a narrative passage. The passage reads "Wait. That can't be right. You read the email again. No, you read that correctly. They definitely said that Goncharov was your movie. Is that... possible? Could you really have forgotten about one of your own films. I mean it was 1973, apparently. You aren't as young as you once were and maybe it's been so long that you've somehow... forgot? No, that can't be it. If you made a film that Roger Ebert called "the"—what was it? You check the email again. "The greatest mafia movie ever made," you would definitely remember that. Right? ...Right?" /end ID]

[image 8: A cycling choice from the game Creating Goncharov. It reads "Yeah, you know your own body of work. They must be mistaken somehow or there has to be some kind of miscommunication. You did not make Goncharov. You're 99.99% sure." /end ID]

[image 9: A cycling choice from the game Creating Goncharov. It reads "Maybe... maybe not. They're probably mistaken or there's some kind of miscommunication, but you're 80% sure that you did not make Goncharov." /end ID]

[image 10: A cycling choice from the game Creating Goncharov. It reads "No. You have no idea. That was fifty years ago, it's entirely possible that you made Goncharov and have no memory of it." /end ID]

Creating Goncharov by albie [IFDB]

Creating Goncharov is a surreal game where you play as a filmmaker creating a pitch for a Goncharov (1973) remake with the help of Al, an indecisive peer. Premise Everyone knows Goncharov. Martin Scorsese's 1973 film is a cult classic, a true masterpiece of cinema. To celebrate its upcoming 50th anniversary, you, an office drone working at a major media corporation, have to create a pitch for a 2023 remake. It's an amazing opportunity that could launch your career. There's just one problem. You haven't seen Goncharov. Unable to turn down your corporate overlords, you and an indecisive colleague throw together a story based solely on information you can quickly find or invent. How will you reimagine the greatest mafia movie ever made and what will you do to turn your ideas into reality?

Goncharov (1973) stole your heart the very first time you saw it — and now you're living the dream, playing one of your favorite characters in the 2022 remake of the film.

Devlog #7: Goncharov Game Jam

I made a game for the Goncharov Game Jam, which finished last week! It's called [REDACTED] of Goncharov, and you can play it right now by clicking here. There are both Windows (downloadable) and WebGL (playable in browser) versions available, but if possible I'd suggest playing the Windows version.

It's a pretty short game (should take around 10 minutes? give or take), you need a keyboard + mouse to play, and there are no jumpscares in case anyone's wondering. If you play it, I'd be really glad and also I'd love to hear what you thought about it!

[wumblebum]

Our submission for the Goncharov Game Jam is complete and available!

Speedy Goncharov is a surrealist visual novel, mostly about Andrey Daddano in the aftermath of the film's story. (Basically just post-canon disaster man fanfic behaviour... But interactive and non-linear.) It's got the kind of abstract surreal comedy you'd see in, like, The Mighty Boosh and such media... Because at the end of the day we created it with our partner and allowed ourselves to be self indulgent, lol

But it's filled with tense drama and quality memes, so... enjoy! (but do heed those content warnings on the itch page just in case!

[zorlok-if]

[kennothythebard]

Hey, i’ve made an rpg! “If we were really in love, you wouldn’t have missed” is an rpg made for the Goncharov game jam. It is a four player, trick-taking RPG wherein you play as some of your favorite characters from Goncharov and explore their relationships and what love, violence, and memory itself means to them, ending in a devastating shootout. It’s intended to be played with the Major Arcana, but you can make modifications to a standard deck of playing cards and it should still work (in theory). If you like Goncharov, rpgs, and card games, consider checking it out (and the other games in this game jam too holy cow theres some incredible stuff there)

[zorlok-if]

Not sorry. No shame. It's a truth that needs to be said.

Vespertine by Sophia de Augustine [IFDB]

A fangame for the greatest mafia movie that never existed, Goncharov (1973). Or- a closer look at Andrey and Goncharov's tumultuous, doomed romance and the little black book he's never seen without.

[lapinlunaire-games]

*crawls, wheezing, out of a hole in the ground, covered in owl feathers, potato chip crumbs, and a tasteful amount of blood*

we're...a-almost there....

(an owl flew into my window last night/this morning. a few hours later (fully in the ungodly a.m.), I received a text from an unknown number that just said "night night." i snacked on some potato chips this afternoon that knocked me out in ten minutes and then gave a full out-of-body and semi-conscious experience. i know this sounds like nonsensical made-up events but i cannot express the the degree to which I am in a State right now.)

and yet! against all odds, we meet in the noble bridge of Goncharov. a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse, someone get me an autocoder, etcetera etcetera

one passage left!

[greatwyrmgold]

If you're not all Gonch'd out, there's about a week left in the Goncharov game jam that I just learned about. And calling it a "game jam" implies something a bit more restrictive than it actually is:

All kinds of games or other media are encouraged, including interactive fiction, TTRPGs, zines, scripts, short stories, etc. It does not have to be a "game" in any way.

Yea But Have You Seen...?

Or

So You Think You Can Goncharov?

The fictional film generating game.

A game for 2+ players

In a manner where responses can be shuffled and randomly drawn from, each player writes as many names of actors, directors, niche micro genres, and events that could occur in a film.

Players take turns drawing from each category and using the results to describe a non-existent film.

During each turn all other players must ask a question about the film.

Play continues until all responses are drawn or all players concede that they won't be able to come up with a better film.

Once play ends choose the groups favorite film, vote if necessary. After the game ends all the players must post on social media about the winning film as if it was a real movie they have just watched.

If you play this and do post about your personal Goncharov be sure to tag me @vforvalensa when you do

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.
