Spytihněv and Makeship announce that the petition stand for the mass production of Plush Šemík has been ceremonially launched.
According to Directive No. 11/ŠEM/2025, it is mandatory to assist in fulfilling the quota of 200 signatures. Those who do not sign may come to regret it, for there is a risk that no Šemík plush will be produced (and such a risk can be borne by only a few with a truly clear conscience).

Brno Transit is a narrative-driven psychological horror game about a trainee metro driver trapped in the dampest subway east of anything that matters. Comming soon! (Aiming for a Halloween release — or sometime before the end of the year!) Feel free to wishlist! ⬇️
Every Easter Monday (one day after Easter), the sickle is replaced by a pomlázka - a braided willow whip used in a tradition where men whip women to ensure their health and beauty, in exchange for a painted egg or a shot of booze. It’s weirdly charming... and slightly terrifying.

No update needed for this - I secretly slipped this feature in during the Christmas carp update back in December.
Next month, I’d love to share the first sneak peeks of a new terrifying game I’ve been working on in my spare time - aiming for a Halloween release.

The recent barking fix reminded me how fun updating HROT is, so I got on a roll.
Ver. 1.3:
fixed doubled sound when picking up a pistol
player's voice de-noised (never record voices into the game while the dishwasher is running in the room)
Pterodactyl drops amphorae instead of gifts
fixed oversized gib in Supreme Commander-in-chief's stomach
some new maps in Bombermod
GoBack button in the Menu (upper left corner)
another river in my country has been poisoned -> the body proportions of the Bečva fish have changed
Infested Rider has a 50% chance to drop a Bubblebum. Bubblebum adds 5 hp 1 second after picking it up (it will make a bubble first). Just like that.
I haven’t mentioned for a long time (new players might not know), that the console command silvestr will launch fireworks (do not indoors). This feature is especially useful at the end of the year.
And finally, a fun fact - Before I became a game developer, I was a confectioner:

A lot of people have complained about some barking, there are some negative reviews about it, but I've always thought that it's just some people who don't like the dog barking while gunfire. Today I found out that on some PC configurations there was a looping unbearable barking.

Today I found out that on some PC configurations there was a looping unbearable barking. It's a shame that such a bug survived there for almost 2 years, levels with the ratters must have been awful, even downright unplayable, brrr.

The tenement blocks, metro stations, churches, and castles of this twisted version of the city all feel like cheeky de-makes of real world locations, a MyHouse.wad blown up to massive proportions...

"Does that pommel horse have a grenade launcher?" is one of many bizarre questions I found myself asking while playing HROT. This Slavic shooter revels in the strange, straddling the line between hyper-bleak Soviet satire and goofy memetic joke factory. This isn't the best thing about HROT, we'll get to that in a couple of paragraphs. But the balancing of these two personality strands is what defines HROT's quality. At the outset, they exist in perfect symbiosis, but the relationship becomes less stable as the game goes on.
The year is 1986, and something is seriously wrong in the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. What that might be isn't explicitly stated, but given the year, the ambient chatter of Geiger counters, and the soldiers vomiting through their gasmasks as they prowl the abandoned streets, a nuclear disaster at an infamous Ukrainian power plant isn't a vast stretch of the imagination. In any case, anyone who wasn't killed by the fallout is now being hunted by an army of (presumably Russian, but again, it isn't explicated) soldiers. Emerging from a bomb shelter beneath Prague's Kosmonautů Metro Station (now named Háje), you take it upon yourself to defend your glorious homeland from these invaders.

Dear attendees,
We have convened here to commemorate our latest, albeit modest, collective triumph.
Allow me to commence by expressing my profound gratitude to all of you who have, through your active participation and unwavering commitment, contributed to the advancement of this remarkable endeavor. Your unwavering support, unwavering trust, and invaluable feedback have not gone unnoticed.
Furthermore, I wish to extend my tremendous appreciation to the indefatigable Discord community. Without your tireless dedication and ceaseless efforts, our mutual objectives would have remained beyond our grasp. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the arduous toil you undertake day in and day out.
I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the creators of online content, whose videos and streams on social media platforms serve as a beacon of inspiration for our younger generations. Your tireless endeavors constitute the very essence of our future and the development of our progeny.
Let us not overlook those who have generously shared their thoughts and experiences regarding this game through Steam reviews. Together, we forge a community founded upon the principles of collaboration and collective wisdom.
Lastly, but certainly not least, I wish to express my gratitude to the denizens of Twitter for their invaluable contributions. Your enthusiastic retweets and impassioned expressions of opinion contribute to the creation of a society wherein every voice is heard.
I extend my sincerest thanks for your unwavering loyalty, and I fervently hope that we shall continue our triumphant march forward, constructing brighter horizons for all who dwell in this noble pursuit.

Added E3M1 "War with the Newts", inspired by Karel Čapek's novel with Wolf3D references and with a functional spinning top, which sounds great as always. In addition new experimental features: - You can deflect grenades with footkick - A bottle of wine can be thrown as a Molotov
Added E3M1 "War with the Newts", inspired by Karel Čapek's novel with Wolf3D references and with a functional spinning top, which sounds great as always.
In addition new experimental features: - You can deflect grenades with footkick - A bottle of wine can be thrown as a Molotov instead of a grenade - Zoom key, you can see how ugly it looks up close. But be careful if you already have Mouse3 button mapped to another function.
What next? Full game will be released on 21May (in case of speedrun dev) or 22Jun (more likely). This will be further specified. I wish you a nice Sunday!
