Greetings! The awaited devblogs have made their return. And back to the friday schedule, from now on.
So, first and foremost, what took us so long?
Well, we did promise a big promo was coming with the next devblog (trailer). We kept this plan and here we are.
So what’s with the trailer?
Several of us work on the trailer. You know, it takes lengthy hours to make anything worth a steam store page, and in addition, we’re not really promotion content creators, we got a game to make, so the whole trailer or devblog thing is purely a side job. We decided to make two trailers (double the job... great thinking Watson!) but the reality is that we think it’s better to have two videos, one being a conceptual introduction into the game to catch the eye and another being footage of game action as a player will experience that.
So, what are your plans with regards to the Devblog now?
We took some time off to analyse the whole Devblog strategy to see what we want to do after this pause. We will resume the weekly blogs and we will try to be modest each time to have continuous topics to discuss at a gradual basis. So, there may be some weeks where we write some useless boring information about our trials and tribulation, and alternatively there may be that lucky week where you will find out about the feature you always wanted in our game. You’ll have to read to find out! We will also try to release polls more often to get the readers more involved. A big shout out to Artyom, Nick, Anton and now Maxim (Pastorazzi) from Best Way who help us with the russian translation of devblogs, to keep our russian-speaking fans happy.
How’s the game, what’s with the release date?
The game is going at a steady pace and we got internal gameplay testing going on (no actual external players yet). The single player is being developed and new assets get made every day. About dates, we still are on our ‘no dates as of now’ policy. Since we are testing the multiplayer, I think we can afford ourselves a few screenshots here and there.

Give us some more!
We can show you a very small portion of the assets that we have been working on since those 2 months of no-news that have flown by. We surely hope you were not expecting us to be lazy?
And there we go, begone lads! Bugger off and see you next week :)
Ah! I forgot about the trailers. We’re still not posting them on our store page but here are a few teasers like you asked for. We will notify you when we publish them, we are aware it’s the first glance of the customer at our store page so we are not at all in any rush to make something we’re not proud of. We could have waited even more for this Devblog but we hate keeping you in the dark. Don’t be too mad at us ;)
