Hey fans of indie open-world games,
Our game Vivat Slovakia is currently on an absolutely insane 95% discount. Roman Lipka, our producer, has decided to sign up for MrBeast’s Beast Games to try to bring some money into our studio.
So what about Vivat Slovakia? Is it dead?
No! While our team is currently focused on creating a new, still unannounced video game — the one Roman Lipka wants to bring prize money to through Beast Games — we will definitely return to our passion project, Vivat Slovakia.
By the end of the year, we plan to release a “preservation patch” that will put Vivat Slovakia into a state where it can live its eternal life on Steam. We won’t go into detail about this final patch today, but we would like you to understand that keeping a game studio alive is extremely difficult, even without having any offices or company computers.
To this day, all of us still work from home and on our own private machines — several of them, actually, because during the optimization of Vivat Slovakia, a few of them literally burned out. Believe it or not, but optimization was much worse before the 1.0 release 🥲
Back to Beast Games
If you live in Slovakia and haven’t given up on us, we would like to ask you for your vote at beastgames.com/vote for Roman Lipka. Our team is still alive and well, and we continue quietly working in Unity every workday. And of course, the team will keep going even if we ship Roman off to MrBeast.
We learned an incredible amount while working on Vivat Slovakia, and everything we create next will only be better. We know it is taking us a long time, and we definitely bit off a much bigger gluten-free loaf than we originally expected — but the most important thing is that we can continue, and we absolutely want to continue.
If you still don’t own Vivat Slovakia, grab it now during the temporary maximum 95% discount. And one final tip: Vivat Slovakia is available in the GeForce Now library, so if you are willing to accept its current state, you can play it through GeForce Now on any computer, phone, or smart TV.
Can you send Roman Lipka to Beast Games?
We’ll be back soon with good news!
Thank you for your understanding
Much love, yours Team Vivat 🩵
