This September, our project "Sadko" was part of a major video game exhibition. Throughout the day, we handed out merch, chatted with players, and we even had our own booth for a full two hours! Visitors could try out a new build, which will be available on platforms soon. At any given time, there were up to 8 visitors near our booth! And over the course of the day, at least 60 people passed by,…

But we're not stopp…

This difficult decision was made with t…

We’ve been working towards this for a long time (almost) and finally made it! Now, any player can try out the core mechanics of the game thanks to the free demo version. Of course, it’s still vastly different from what we’ll show at release, but it already includes the most important part – battling hordes of evil creatures coming from all directions. Since the first announcements, the followin…
