Ministry of Defense spent 36 million rubles to develop the site

Instead of computer games that are able to compete with popular strategies and shooters, the Ministry of Defense has posted four flash games on its website, three of which - Battleship, Tetris and Minesweeper - exist on other Internet resources. At the same time, the fourth game "Test for a military rank" very much looks like fraudulent crafts with SMS. The Ministry of Defense spent 36 a million rubles from the budget last year to develop a portal, the newspaper Izvestia reported.

Computer game developers at the same time believe that the military department has seriously overpaid. Anton Agranovsky, general director of the browser-based games development company Destiny Development, considered that even if the Ministry of Defense created the games that are posted on the department’s website, then the cost of each of them could not exceed 320 thousand rubles.

“The development of each of the games that are now posted on the Ministry’s website requires a month and the efforts of three people - an artist, a flasher and a programmer. At the same time, the salary of a programmer and artist is about 100 thousand rubles per month, and the salary of the flasher from 45 to 50 thousand That is, the maximum cost of developing such a game, even if we take into account the cost of electricity and the purchase of computers, is no more than 10 thousand dollars, "Agranovsky said in an interview with Izvestia.

- “For 30 million rubles, you can create a really interesting game, not inferior to the“ Legends of Dragons ”or“ Battles Online ”, with high-quality graphics, a large number of elements, high downloads, which can constantly keep on the site about 10 thousands of players,” explained the developer.

However, Igor Konashenkov, the head of the press and information department of the Ministry of Defense, explained that these games occupy only a small part of the information portal created with these funds.

- “The created information portal of the Ministry of Defense is a completely new information platform with practically unlimited possibilities for development and filling it with multimedia content. The site consists of several dozens of thematic sections that tell about different aspects of the activities of the Russian Armed Forces and oriented to different age categories of Internet users” - said Konashenkov.

According to the head of the press service, “Test for a military rank” on the website of the Ministry of Defense did not appear by chance: while studying the information needs of different age audiences, it turned out that “tests in game form are one of the most effective forms of attracting young audiences to the Ministry’s website”.

“It’s wrong to place shooters on such a resource. Our main goal is to create something more informative and intellectual, and not just loading ammunition, passing levels, shooting, and the like. At the moment, more advanced products are being developed. Those who want to shoot, it is better to go to the electronic shooting gallery, "Konashenkov told Izvestia.

Stop on their laurels, the Ministry of Defense is not going to. In the near future, two new tests will appear on the Ministry's website - the first dedicated to the knowledge of World War 1812, the second - the Air Force. In order for the tests to be similar to the game and more interesting, it is planned to equip them with 3D graphics and infographics.

Platon Fomichev, those. The director of the IT company Elverils notes that the knowledge test stories With the help of graphics can not be turned into a war game:

- The test, even if the media is “screwed” to it, will still remain a test. War games are not just questions and answers, this is a whole virtual world that has its characters, weapon, equipment and a lot of other objects with which the player must interact.

According to Fomichev, the games presented on the information portal of the military department are also not full-fledged computer games, but only electronic puzzles.

The idea of ​​creating military computer games in which children would play “not for Americans, but for Russians” was expressed as early as June 2010 by Mr. Nikolay Pankov, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Defense at a joint board of the Ministry of Defense, Prosecutor General’s Office, Ministry of Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Education and Science. His proposal was a response to the criticism of Sergei Sobyanin, who at that time held the post of vice-premier, who called the existing methods of youth patriotic education ineffective and “mossy”.

A year later, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev proposed the creation of a domestic equivalent of the famous World of Warcraft network. In September 2011, two months later, the Ministry of Education and Science announced a competition to create a “engine” (technical core) of the game for 90 million rubles. However, it did not take place due to the absence of participants.

The most popular military-related computer games are War of Tanks (strategy) and Il-2 Stormtrooper (flight simulator). However, the development of these games was not associated with the state objectives of the development of patriotism.

Russian Ministry of Defense website mil.ru developed an IT company Systematica. She won a tender for 2010 million rubles in 36. Games are in the "Multimedia" section.

[MrFYGY]

For that kind of money, it was possible to get over 9000 such saites and games,
Clearly the case "Cut, Rollback" (c)

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Excuse me, are you involved in the development and programming of web resources ?!
if not, then you do not need to be clever what and how much can be washed down.

[UV58]

profitable to work in the Ministry of Defense. but apparently not to everyone.

[ANTRAX]

it’s possible to create for free))) for a certain amount I’ll even teach how to create)

[Ascetic]

So it’s not free

[sazhka0]

They don’t throw so much with their own money. Easy and simple .. We have everything ... .. It would be better if we spent on a new plane.

[and1975]

36 lyamov is he flying in a nuclear reactor or something ??? or armed from hacking hackers with various air defense missile defense torpedoes and other things that could spend that kind of money ???

[dred]

For such money, you could create a game of Call of Duty anology and would have left.

[tronin.maxim]

Everything is already clear 50% for development, and the remaining 50% is in your pocket, in other matters, as always.

[snek]

a 10/90 ratio (90-to-cut) seems more plausible.

[itr]

I wonder how old the author of the article

[Kaetani]

Once, a few years ago, I saw on the Internet for the first time Navalny with his ROSPIL, the topic was good and it’s great that she lives and not for the popularity of individuals in whom I personally became disappointed but for joy for the state. One hundred percent cut in budget funds and a great reason to clean the MO

[Kyrgyz]

Yes, I, too, was seduced at first, then I figured out that half there were far-fetched and disappointed cheto

[Chuck-norris]

Apparently I do not know how to use search, but I have not found such an article on the Izvestia website.

[Kyrgyz]

It is possible to deal with growth and kickbacks by eliminating the concept of commercial secrecy on state contracts (contracts with the state enterprise are also state contracts), make it obligatory to publish expenses as soon as possible indicating product price and counterparty and special conditions and problems among crooks will significantly increase and income will decrease. And when it comes to consciousness and other garbage, it’s rubbish.

[Denis]

sad if true

and this is some kind of opindosing, such as studying history from comics

[Net]

Interestingly, Taburetkin has already passed the "Test for military rank"? What's he got there? "two stripes" or feld furniture?

[Alexey Prikazchikov]

It seems to me the news again and from the category of obs (one grandmother told me), but in general the development of a high-quality site like mine is expensive, well, it seems to me that this price included servers and everything else, so the amount ran up.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

the problem is that the "news" was presented as something strange, in the header the price for the site, in the article, for some reason, smoothly grew into the price for the games, but what was really patched up and for which no one is not clear, but in general it is not very cheap , the development of a design for an ordinary booklet costs about 30000 rubles and this is almost nothing, so everything can be

[General]

and they’ll probably spend an additional 50 million on promotion

[ivachum]

For badminton have already removed the beginning. physical training and sports. And for the naval battle for 36 million ..... we must not shoot, but shoot. In online .....

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

Quote: ivachum

And for the naval battle for 36 million ..... we must not shoot, but shoot

well, read the bliiin carefully, and most importantly thoughtfully, where did you read this nonsense that the sea battle costs 36 million? !!!!

[mga04]

My fifteen-year-old son writes sites of this level in two or three months without interrupting his studies at the lyceum. And for only 500-700 green. However, it does not work with a flush. In the next office sits a firm - riveting sites for Arabs (12 personnel including an accountant). I went to them and showed the site - we are ready to do this in a month (in the absence of other projects in parallel) and 30 thousand dollars. In both cases, the timing largely depends on how quickly the customer provides the content, the "skeleton" of the site itself is written quickly enough.

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

sure sure
who do you work ?!

[dmitry98]

The numbers are voiced by the faithful.
