Ask The Dev (#1)

No one expected it, no one asked for it, but exactly three years ago, a page for the game Deep Russian Depression appeared on Steam.

It happened spontaneously, and only because my father sent me a motivational video in which actor Anthony Hopkins urged people to believe in what they are about to do. And I believed. After that, I spent my last money to pay the Steam Direct fee required to publish the game. As it turned out, this decision was timely, and I managed to seize the last opportunity.

Back then, we didn’t yet know that a pivotal event would soon occur, forever changing the lives of people in the post-Soviet space, and its consequences would affect everything, including game development. Yet, despite all the changes and challenges that have emerged over the past three years, I continue to believe in what I’m doing!

However, some users suspect that Deep Russian Depression doesn’t actually exist, and all the activity around it is a scam to collect donations.

While their suspicions are not entirely unfounded, these users are mistaken. I don’t blame them for this, as they don’t know what I know. This is my shortcoming, as I’ve been less active in posting updates on this blog, which has raised suspicions. But today, decisive measures are being taken to address this!

On February 24, 2025, the first anniversary of Deep Russian Depression, I will answer all your burning questions. These questions can be about any topic related to Deep Russian Depression.

If you have a question, write it in the comments to this post. Each user can ask one question, and related questions from different users will receive a collective response. I ask everyone to be tactful and refrain from using profanity or insults.

Questions will be accepted for thirty-five days from the date of this post.

Deep Russian Depression is Available to Purchase!
