«What’s the exact release date?» - that is the question our team hears more often than any other one.
In the very first trailer, we claimed the game was going to be released in 2018. In this post, I would like to explain how come that then we’ve released only a demo.
• First of all, you have to understand that we are working on this project on pure enthusiasm. We are not being paid, It means that we work at the game only when we have free time, and that happens not as often as we would like it to.
• Secondly, we admit that we overestimated our possibilities when the game was announced and the first trailer came out. The game wasn’t even ready when it happened - to such an extent that, for example, there wasn’t even a possibility of killing enemies. As our skills grew, quality standards were rising as well, and so we had to change the script and not only cut out several levels but also add some new ones.
• What’s more, the problem of not having enough skills influenced the technical process which we haven’t optimised properly and therefore began making the game straight from the Teletubbies Valley. The code of this level is very poor and mostly ad hoc, which means that we were writing and re-writing the same patterns for every particular situation. That is the reason why the demo version had bugs and glitches.
«That’s all very well», you might say, «But when is it going to be released after all?»
What we know for sure, that it is going to happen one day. We cannot tell you when exactly, so let it be - as soon as possible.
We have already put lots of time and effort (and even a bit of money) into the project, so we do not intend to just leave it at that.
But there is still a lot of work to do. We show you everything we can show right here.
By the way, don’t you forget to check our new Discord channel where we post some small, but interesting details of the development process.

The last screenshot was made out of the window without several effects and random light setting so that you could see as much as possible.
