2023 was a wild roller-coaster for this game, and this has been its first year, crazy right? Well let me tell you about the history, and what's to come.
THE START
When Lenin G. Moscow was first thought of, he was thought of a funny counterpart to Glasgow, Glasgow was a rich purple Toblerone, Lenin is a poor, communist guy. The "One Rebellion with Moscow" gamepage was set up as a sort of joke, as Lenin was going to be a character in Phobious Night, and that only.
However, real production on the game had began, and it started with 4 characters;
Lenin G. Moscow
Gasperov Seliv
Gumman
The Bartender
The latter 2 were scrapped, and gasperov was not the best design compared to nowadays standards.
(Old Gasperov left, Gen 2 far right, Gen 3 right)
As phobious night was cancelled, most of the development team moved to Moscow's, and then gave up, leaving me, and @SisterBee 
to work on the game as a duo, and that is what we did.
We had a full drink making system set up, every characters mechanics, the map, and even a train system, but about now we'd move into the 2nd stage of this game's life.
THE POLISHED STAGE
At this stage, everyone was going into Gen 2, and was when game 2 was being prioritized. This stage wasn't my favourite, I'll be the first to admit, it was my least, we lost half the community, had the cancel the games once, and we were running dry on fresh ideas, this stage was an unorganised mess, and I don't think I'll reveal much of it today, or ever.
THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD
This is now, my favourite stage, with over 20 times the size of a cast from the first game, and the fact we left the Flumpty's community, it just felt good.
This stage was filled with ideas, and so much good stuff, even if most were scrapped, they were still good ideas.
Lenin and Gasperov should be seen less through the games now, serving as overarching villains, rather than hands on.
NEXT?
There is many things that need working on, such as:
The timeline
The later 2 chapters, out of the 5 ingame
Order of chronological events
Many gameplay mechanics
How some consumables will work
All of these will be worked on sometime soon, but not right now, we are approaching christmas, which is when we wont be doing nothing.
That's it from me today, expect some more community polls soon, stay safe, and goodbye.
