addedStarting last week, there were a number of Russian missile strikes on the power supply system across entire Ukraine. That resulted in scheduled power outages, sometimes disrupting our working process. We decided that this week we would adjust our working schedule to come to work when there are no outages, but there was a new wave of missile and drone attacks and more damage to the power supply. As a result, the schedule was changed - and it is now not suitable for office work - you get only 5 hours in a row. So, we adapted and decided to work from home with flexible hours, until the situation improves, or until we upgrade the power infrastructure at our office. Right now, we have 5 hours of power supply, then 4 hours without power, then again 5 hours of power supply, and so on. The schedule is different for different parts of the city though.
fixedDespite all these troubles we are resolved to overcome them and keep working passionately on our projects.
changedWe are really proud that despite the ongoing war in Ukraine we managed to make a free project that covers the first month of the war from civilians' point of view. The release on October 18th was quite successful, especially in Japan which became the top 1 country by the number of players. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1985510/Ukraine_War_Stories/

The last few weeks were extremely action-packed: we released Ukraine War Stories, Slitherine posted the first Dev log about Headquarters: World War II, we have some news about Spirit of Liberty coming up - and the last 2 weeks were hell in terms of power shortages and internet connection problems, but we keep fighting!

First of all, about the current situation in Kyiv.

Starting last week, there were a number of Russian missile strikes on the power supply system across entire Ukraine. That resulted in scheduled power outages, sometimes disrupting our working process. We decided that this week we would adjust our working schedule to come to work when there are no outages, but there was a new wave of missile and drone attacks and more damage to the power supply. As a result, the schedule was changed - and it is now not suitable for office work - you get only 5 hours in a row.

Right now, we have 5 hours of power supply, then 4 hours without power, then again 5 hours of power supply, and so on. The schedule is different for different parts of the city though.

Despite all these troubles we are resolved to overcome them and keep working passionately on our projects.
