Greetings friends! I announce the beginning of the development of a new project. Working title: "Rainbow" or "Glory to the Rainbow". I have very serious plans, the scale of the project is large, the idea is global and very detailed. Previously, I did not pay so much attention to the plot and history, I already foresee sleepless nights X)
The game is a kind of symbiosis of 35MM and 7th Sector. I decided to use my most successful tricks - an atmosphere of despondency, devastation and post-USSR, seasoned with a dramatic story. The story of a boy named Ignat and his life after the war in alternative Russia. A deep study of the character, world and events is planned. The fantastic theme provides a lot of room for ideas.
As a basis for the main character, I decided to take the image of a boy from the video ZAMILSKA "CALL" / Elektro_sonda As soon as I saw him (the boy), I realized that this is exactly the image that I want to see in the game. A great inspiration for the future atmosphere of the project was given to me by the amazing works of Simon Stalenhag, on which I had my eyes for a long time (I am not attaching work, you can google it)
Overall, I plan on improving the quality level a lot. I really hope that all the ideas will be implemented, although it will take a long time.
I will keep abreast of developments and find a minute to publish!
Also, I will be very grateful for support, informational and in general of any kind!
PS. In connection with Halloween, there will soon be an interesting competition with a cash prize associated with the project The Light Remake. There will be a post next week!
Hello friends! Recently, I have been trying to diversify my work and switch to different tasks. I tried to refresh the skills of integrating 3D graphics into live video. Tracking with Boujou, rendering in 3d Max, and compositing in After Effects. These skills will be useful to me in future games. By the way, the new project in terms of gameplay and atmosphere will probably have a lot in common with 35MM ;)
I used the images from my favorite Half-Life. Alyx as a working material

PS. The Patreon page has been created. I plan to post there fresh materials on the new project in the future. The materials will be here, but with some delay. I will be glad to all guests!
Friends, my project The Light Remake, on which I worked all this year, was released!
I hope the new game will bring fresh emotions and impressions to new players, and those who have already played in the original 2012! I will be glad to read your thoughts, what details you noticed, Easter eggs, what you liked, what not, etc.
I also remind you that you can buy a DLC soundtrack if you like the music and want to support the composer!
PS. A small addition. The game has 2 finals. I will not go into details, but they are associated with light and darkness. For each ending you get an achievement. After the game ends, a bonus opens - additional color correction and a link to the original game (if someone has not played). Also, after the second finale, another bonus opens associated with the movie projector.
Friends, as many know, there is not much left until the release of The Light Remake. The moment is very exciting and every time for the developer it is a special day on the calendar.
My previous projects were supplemented by content in the form of a free soundtrack. Now the soundtrack will be available already at the start. The composer is Dmitry Nikolaev, who presented in 2016 gorgeous meditative music to the "35MM". In my opinion, OST for the new "Light" is beautiful and bewitching, and most importantly - it matches the style of the original. So you can always support the author by buying an official DLC for a small price.
Friends, in connection with the imminent release of The Light Remake, a contest is announced!
To participate, you need to join the IndieGames group on VK and repost the last pinned post, and subscribe to my Instagram page (if you have an Instagram).
If you don’t have VKontakte or Instagram, you can subscribe to YouTube or Facebook :)
On May 14, at 12-00 Moscow time in the VK group and on the Instagram page, I will publish several screenshots from the game The Light, in which a quote from a famous person is encrypted. The first three participants who sent me the right answer in private messages will receive the key to the game!
Hello! A lot of time has passed since the release of 35MM, but the topic is post-apocalypse, disasters to this day remains relevant. Especially now.
It’s pleasant for the developer when the virtual world he creates acquires life in a different form. Often games become something big, fan art is drawn from them, stories, poems are written, films are made, etc. However, I had no serious expectations about this. I did not think that the story of 35MM could for example be transformed into a book.
But today, under the authorship of Vitaly Pryadein, a book based on 35MM was published! The work carefully transfers the history and design of the project into a text format, complementing the narrative with interesting details, new plot elements and thoughts about life, death and morality. I did not take part directly in the writing process, but I actively advised. Also, the book includes my interview about creativity, development and a little about life.
Unfortunately, the book is only in Russian, but I just could not keep this news secret. And sorry for the errors in the text! :)
I also remind that work on the project The Light is nearing finish , I will be very grateful to everyone who adds the game to the wishlist!
Thank you all for your attention, have a nice day and good health!
Hello everyone! Some people know that I am working on the remake of my first project The Light , which was released in 2012. It was the debut game that started my journey into the world of gamedev. Development is nearing completion. Much needs to be fix, finalized, tuned. The forecasts are optimistic, but as always, there may be some nuances.
I would like to separately thank the composer Dmitry Nikolaev (we already worked with him on the 35MM game) for writing tracks for the remake of The Light. Work on the music has been completed and I am pleased with the results!
In this video, a small introduction made on the engine. I have long wanted to do something in the style of timelapse :)
Have a nice day, don’t be sick and do not litter on the streets! :)
I would be grateful for the support and addition of the game in The Light to the wishlist

Friends, I congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! Let everything be wonderful and the next year will give us many wonderful events in the game world and in real life! May there be more power for work and may there be more time for rest!
For me, this year was very productive. Active work on the 7th Sector project, release, participation in the Devgamm contest, the beginning of work on a remaster of the game The Light, and many other tasks. The end of the year is very crazy and eventful for me, not enough free time, but I hope that at the beginning of the 20th year I will finally get to the release of The Light remaster! At the moment, work on the visual part of the project is almost complete and will continue to work with sound. Work in progress! And now, you can follow the link and add the project to the wishlist - it will be sooo nice :)
