Greetings from the Doomer development team!

We apologize for the long absence of any news and game updates since the announcement of our roadmap. As is often the case, everything that could go wrong went wrong. As we built all the processes and implemented what we promised, it took more time than expected.

Now that the time has come, we are pleased to present you with the first content update, which is quite significant in scope, but represents only a small part of what's planned.

Let's talk about future plans before we get into the details of the update. From now on, we'll release updates more frequently. We can't reveal the content or dates yet, but there won't be such long breaks between updates anymore. In the next step, we'll rework the technical foundation of the game, optimize everything that's "under the hood", and then start developing game mechanics.

And yes, you read that right, Doomer will feature game mechanics and a clearly defined gameplay cycle. And naturally, we will add more nostalgic items, references, and elements that are signature to the time.

Sincerely yours, the Doomer team.

Now for the content update:

• Doomer can now run, jump, and crouch;
  
• When running, the camera wobbles more intensely than when walking;
  
• Removed camera shake with the option to turn it on if you want to;
  
• The phone model has been updated to Pokia :), which is more relevant to the time when the game takes place.
  
  
• The phone interface has been updated with the ability to call, but no one will answer...yet.
  
• The ability to take photos through the phone has been removed, since it does not correspond to the time of the game. We will get back to this and explore ideas of how to do photos and screenshots later. However, it won't be done with the phone camera, that is for sure.
  
• A redesigned item interaction system has been added. For example, the rat isn't a part of your pocket anymore. It lives in the cage. You can get it out and put it back in.
  
• Like any doomer character can now die, there are several ways to do that. Feel free to experiment.
  
  
  2) Doomers apartment:
  • You are able to open and close almost all of the doors and windows in the apartment.
    
    
  • Now, there are switches in all rooms, so lights can be turned on and off.
    
    
  • A gas stove can be lit.
    
    
  • Lots and lots of authentic items that are appropriate for the time the events of the game take place. Brand new models of items made from scratch, including Dendy consoles, cartridges, videotapes, books, Great Dragon and Technics of Youth magazines, as well as video and audio tape recorders. There is no sense to list it all, just explore and enjoy.
    
    
  • It is now possible to pick up and inspect items. At the moment, not all of the items are eligible for that, but we will be gradually adding the ability to inspect them all.
    
    
  • You can now watch TV
    
    
  • The apartment has a telephone now, you should expect a call.
    
    
  • There has been a change in the apartment's furnishings. Now that Doomer has a new table, he has rearranged some stuff around the apartment.
    
    
  3) Other:
  • The apartment building has the entrance now, you can access it from the doomers apartment. It allows you to go out onto the street, or access the roof. We attempted to make the entrance as authentic as possible using relevant objects and attributes of the time, writings on the walls, ashtrays, bottles, etc. You can explore, ring your neighbors doorbells and find ways to entertain yourself, maybe getting an achievement or two while you are at it. We'll add more activities over time.
    
    
  • You can access the roof now. There you can walk around, smoke a cigarette and contemplate about your life while looking at the surrounding landscape from above. That, and all other sorts of activities you can think of.
    
    
  • The lighting has been updated, smoothly transitioning to dynamic lighting;
    
  • A variety of ambient sounds, clocks, birds outside the window, street noise, computer startup, and others have been added;
    
  • Picked bottles can be thrown anywhere if you click the left mouse button after picking them up. Give it a try, experiment with it...
    
  • The railroad in the area is now fully operational. Watch the departing train doomer and think about life...
    
    
  • There are many hidden activities now. We won't reveal them, but we are sure you'll enjoy finding them. Don't be afraid to explore the neighborhood and the apartment, something interesting is surely waiting for you there.
    
  • Lines 97 is now installed on the computer.
    
    
  • Several parked cars appeared on the streets.
    
    
  • The apartment buildings themselves were embellished with authentic external elements.
    
    
  • Old achievements have been remade to match the spirit of the game and the changes we've made. You'll find new secret achievements as well, look for ways to unlock them and just have fun.
  
  
  Enjoy the game!!!

ConflictCraft 2 is the sequel to the original game which became surprisingly popular and beloved by nearly 200K players on Steam! For this reason alone we've decided to release a brand new title that's far more compelling and in-depth from a tactical point of view.

We come with 53 new levels much more complicated than levels from first ConflictCraft. It took a lot of work to bring to life this new version. We didn't raise the prices at all, they will be the same with the original game.

Game Features:
- 53 challenging levels to complete.
- Level Editor allowing complex map customization.
- Large selection of competing nations & factions.
- 32 steam achievements

Hey guys,
https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/495570/ConflictCraft/
It is in sale! This is a maximum discount that Steam lets set for this game.

Despite the name - this is a conflict-free project. While working on it - everything was so smooth - no crunches, no rush, everything tested, solid good game for a few hours.

What I did not release - a mobile version. Even if I have an APK ready.
If you d like to play it on your mobile - let me know, I'll upload it for you.

Time has come - for MechDefender to be released.
It took a while to get here.

This is one of the most colorful projects for me. While it is a good, solid hero tower defense game. Development of it went in a couple of dark places.

This is a 5th part of the "Red Storm" games verse.
First one - "Red Storm" was a room crawler, with a story dedicated to finding Lenin AI. We made it with a few friends from my Uni, back in 2009.
Then there was a sequel in 2010. Then I decided, since I have this robots, why not add zombies and make a tower defense game? So "Zombies vs Robots" was born(2011). Then, ofc, there was a sequel in 2012. Those all - flash-games era.

After that, when Steam announced Greenlight - I decided it is a good idea to release the next chapter of "Red Storm" on Steam. "MechDefender" was born that day.
https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/562730/MechDefender/

That the reason why you can find "pieces" of MechDefender all over the internet - all those flash-games before.

Helping me - was one of my early students. He was not a real student, 20+ something. Just a fellow struggling coder who needed help to get into game development. So I helped him with that. He was working on porting MechDefender, and at the same time, he was working on his game, in secret. Within some time, he released his game, and gave up "MechDefender". Things happen =( After some time I picked up it, and finished development on my own.

Like a problem with production was not enough so at some point one French guy decided to sell 1500 keys to some Spanish guy for 80$.
I was like - "I'm not interested in that". So they both keep a grudge. They decided to fight me in www - spreading rumors and rallying angry ppl on forums and youtube, how they were scammed by a developer. (but actually they were the one who was abusing Steam Cards and trying to scam me).

So, at some point that French guy swapped MD keys with some other game - where a developer was ok to sold keys for few cents. But, since this is the internet - some SJWs keep writing to me even after. One good Russian read all this and sent me 80$. I spent it to expand my studies operation.
(sorry for using country tags - I found it is easier to use them to distinct ppl in that mess)


Even this is a project that was developed with my students - and this is a maximum sale week for this game. I set 30% for this one couple of years ago. And I can not change that atm.

If this is too expensive for you - pm me in Discord or VK or TG, I'll send you a key.

All my games this week in the sale!
https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/search/?term=badim

Hey guys,
so this week is a special one - all games that we developed with my students will be sold with a maximum discount.

Let me feature the first one: Super Sport Surgeon.
https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/643700/Super_Sports_Surgery/

Took a while to develop it - started as a group project with 6 students - it ended with only one.

It is a simple, fun, cartoonish gore kind of game.
All proceeds from this sale - will go to expand our education program.
