Meet Ivan Kanev (but you can call him Jovanie 😉), the Development Director on Total War titles. In today’s Dev Roll Call he shares some interesting insights into creating A Total War Saga: TROY 👇
Image for 'Developer Roll Call' featuring Ivan Kanev, Development Director. The design includes two Total War: TROY characters, Memnon and Achilles, with gold-trimmed frames on a dark backdrop, and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The text introduces Ivan Kanev, also known as Jovanie, who is the Development Director at CA Sofia. It highlights his previous role as Lead Development Manager for Troy, overseeing the game’s production from inception through release and post-launch. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The white text highlights a proud achievement from Ivan, noting its release during the first year of the COVID pandemic while the team worked remotely. It also mentions that it was CA Sofia’s first standalone game and the first Total War title released on the Epic Games Store. A major milestone was reached when 7.7 million people claimed the game for free within 24 hours, temporarily crashing Epic’s servers. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The image features two questions about Ivan Kanev's experience working on Total War: TROY. The first explains the team’s motivation to create a game based on Ancient Greece, inspired by their passion for the Iliad and Epic Cycle, despite the challenges of depicting the Bronze Age. The second reveals hidden easter eggs in the game, including a Futurama quote and a reference to an Iron Maiden song.

It is time for our next Dev Roll Call! Today we'd like you to meet Nikolay Toshev, a Principal Artist on various Total War titles.

Do you know which disreputable merchant he is talking about here? 👀
Image for 'Developer Roll Call' featuring Nikolay Toshev, Principal Concept Artist. The design includes two Total War: PHARAOH characters, Taurset and Ramesses, with gold-trimmed frames on a dark backdrop, and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The text introduces Nikolay Toshev, Principal Artist at Creative Assembly Sofia, describing his role in concept art, in-game lighting, illustrations, and storyboards. He highlights his work on PHARAOH, particularly in defining visual transitions across civilisation stages and creating dynamic lighting models for campaign and battle maps. Image has a black background with white text and a gold anniversary logo in the top right corner. The image presents two sections about Nikolay Toshev's experience working on the game PHARAOH. The first highlights the creator’s proudest achievement—designing alternate stylised 2D unit cards, which required extra effort and wasn’t originally planned. The second reveals hidden easter eggs, including a nod to a notorious copper merchant and a gesture by Ramesses in the cinematic that references ancient Egyptian depictions of pharaohs smiting enemies.
