Hello, Crucial Experiment is back in touch and ready to tell you a little about the game and its development.

We will immediately touch on an important topic now and this is the war of Russia and Ukraine, the whole team of Crucial Experiment is against this war, and we want to say that there will be no hints in the game about wars between the countries of only two important companies that are located in a fictional city Russia, Live Corporation and Durka Corporation are powerful and fictional companies.

Now we want to tell you about changes in the price of the game from free to 9.99$. All players who already have it in the library will not need to buy it, but there is one limitation from Steam that you will not be able to receive trade cards and you will have to buy the game itself to get access to the cards.

Response from the Steam support service.

Now let's move on to the game development news.

Now, at the moment, the development of the game is temporarily suspended due to the war between Russia and Ukraine since our main artist (and the head of the composition of all artists) is in Ukraine and it is difficult for us to contact him somehow. You don't need to worry, soon everything will return to normal, and we will start working at full strength again!

The first point we have is the game scenario.

We have already said somewhere that the plot of the game will be connected with several anime, we will not list them, but we will name the main one Neon Genesis Evangelion. Perhaps you will ask why Evangelion? Perhaps you have watched this anime or heard about someone somewhere and know that she is in the genre of FUR and the main message of the anime is in the concept of herself. Our story is very similar to Evangelion and The End of Evangelion maybe in the future we will show you this somehow. The new plot of the game will tell you about two large fictional Russian companies, Live Corporation and Durka Corporation each side has its own technologies, and each side wants to achieve its own in this world. One may want to take over the whole of Russia as a whole or destroy the whole world and make it perfect. Your goal while playing as Mickey is to prevent the seizure of the main office of Live Corporation or some important documents, Durka Corporation will try to somehow destroy you, your friends or your personal robot Gordeyu-014.

The second point is drawing backgrounds, characters and other details.

Recently we decided to make some backgrounds more lively, not just static, for example, a picture of a train (static) and a picture of the sky with the earth (dynamic and can move along the X axis), which gives our picture of the sky to move calmly and pretend as if it is alive. Such moments will make the immersion more vivid than just static backgrounds with text. There should be a lot of different movements on the stage so that you don't get bored reading just the text under some soundtrack or character theme. Characters also continue to be developed, recently we have made 4 more new characters already by Durka Corporation, half of them will participate in battles with Live Corporation, and the other part will lead a special project. The drawing of characters will also remain in 2D style, but with improved graphics, and not with simple sticks (such as are in the build of the game from January 2022).

The third and final point is sounds and music.

Sounds in games are a very important part and we understand this, so we will try to record them ourselves or look for suitable options on the Internet. I will immediately answer about the voice acting of the game, we do not plan to do voice acting or large-scale translation of the game into other languages except Russian and English, there are several reasons, but the main one is that the game is still under development and there will be no voice acting or translation in general before its release. Music is also very important for games to brighten up the silence with something positive or not so positive. We make our own music for the game so that later there will be no problems with copyrights or other problems towards the game developers. Here we will immediately say that the music during the testing of the game in the future may differ from the release.

In this news, we have not touched on programming or in the code as a whole, since there is almost nothing to say or show about it, but in the future we will still have something to show you. This is where our broadcast ends with the words There is no war!.
