Hi all! Artem Netyagin is with you today, and I give your our monthly development report. As we planned, February brought some advancements to our teamwork organization, and things began to improve.
The tasks we set out on a path are mostly tedious, I don't want to bore you with these. In a word, we're still setting up locations and game logic, making puzzles and minigames, refining gameplay, and fixing glitches. But we made a bunch of new stuff that I'll show you below!
Now we work on Steam Audio, the plugin that makes all effects sound more natural by recreating the interaction of sound waves with the virtual environment. In other words, it makes everything sound very real. It improves immersion and enhances the game atmosphere.
We finally furnished our Moscow office, now we can throw ourselves back into the project! Some good work was done over the recording room. It's perfectly sound-proofed—now we can use it to record tracks and voiceover artists! On the upside, in case things don't work out with the game development, we can always build a career of reparation and maintenance team or assemble furniture for money :)
"Cushy job", they said!
A quadcopter manufacturer's logo (may in remain nameless) will soon be replaced with our new logo.
Here's a little something for you:
The subway station you've already seen is now coming to life in 3D.
Emily's morphs, or blend shapes, used to make various emotions.
Alex, the most mischievous character. We're sure you're going to like him.
Ember, a holographic helper from the geek shop. We chose the iteration number one. Which one do you like most?
There are survivors' graffiti on many buildings of the abandoned city. Can you find them all?
The game features a lot of magazines. You can read them to learn about the world or unlock an achievement.
The text here is just a placeholder, but you will find real interesting magazine articles in the game.
Sewers with added details.
The new subway train (work in progress). We're keeping the old trains but refining them.

That's all for now, but we'll see you again very soon.
