Hello, folks!

Today is Sunday — that means that all officials have a day off, and we finally have the opportunity to get to the office and work directly on the project, since the past week turned out to be quite a week...

Well, let's put everything in order.

The problem wasn't quite unexpected at all... we have been waiting it since February, but until the last we hoped that somehow it would work out. Well, it didn't.

Last Monday began for us with the alarming news that from mid-December withdrawal of funds from Patreon will be impossible for us. For several hours we still hoped that this news would turn out to be fake, but an official letter from the intermediary company confirmed our worst fears.

And then there were sleepless nights, studying materials, searching for solutions and the subsequent exhausting running around the instances. To date, we can say that a way out of this situation has been found, although we still have to settle a number of organizational issues.

We do not give up and continue to work.
Thank you for staying with us!

Wow, they are from Russia. I have doubt before, maybe they are Ukrainian. But no, 100% Russians.

I really like this game and the animation is absolutely A1 quality but I don't have much faith in them honestly. I already stopped supporting them a long time ago.

Overall I do feel bad for most Russians being screwed over now due to things out of their control though.

Oh hey, they're suddenly 'working their asses off' now that their money is threatened. If only they care that much about their game...

After weeks of silence, they finally post something. Nothing about update release, but about money issues. That's kinda demonstrative. You can see their priorities clearly

They should sell the game to a new Dev team that can do the game justice.
Sell? Rly? Who da hell needed a porn game? EA? Activision? Its not a Subverse or something, making from millions of Kickstarter. If its a Russian team, i suppose patreon block they founds. No money, no honey.

How many exactly? Lets make some bookkeeping and try to analyze how many money needed for a game. Once again, Subverse got $10 millions on start. Good team, good engine, etc. As a result - boring crap. And yes, right now that game are not finish at all. So, for comparison with that, what exactly did you want from "no names" working for food? To complete the game that no one will buy? Or drowning few pictures for small donats and making 1 year 1 update on pure enthusiasm?

True, but there is a big difference between a 3d model game to a 2d drawn game. Subverse has hours of voice acting, high quality cinematics, and more than an hour long not 5 minutes of gaming per updates. And most of Teamborsch work is reused drawings and background art. And there lasted update was on April 5th, Subverse HAD 2 UPDATES IN THAT TIME, WITH 10X MORE GAME TIME.

Gunsmoke is doing SOMETHING right.
