We want to inform you that we will decrease the price for Beyond Despair. It will be changed back after the full release this summer.
For Russia and CIS it will be around 400-500 rubles.
For countries outside CIS it will be around 11.99$, and may be different for each region.
Next update
As you can see we stopped making patches every 2-3 days. We had to do this, because we plan to add some of the more complicated systems to the game, which take more time for development and testing.
We plan to add perk system, a new creature, in-game tutorial, new achievements, new records and notes, some changes to the locations, fixes to the sound. All of these changes are planned for the beginning of the next week.
Future updates
We know that many of you are waiting for the next chapter. We are working on it, and you can expect it at the beginning of March, there will be new characters and new types of tasks.
Dedicated servers — the team is working on making them available for players soon. Next week we plan to start a test server to check for any problems and performance issues. When it is ready we will host several official servers for players.
20 new recipes — with the new chapter we will add 20 new recipes with a unique weapon modification which will only be available during main story event.
Lightning and sky — we see that many of you are not satisfied by the existing lightning and day/night cycle. We are already working on a new version of it.
See you on Ansora!

Update 0.6.0.0
I've received new documents through pneumomail, there were different blueprints, maps and instructions. But one report, made by officer Avramenko was very interesting, here is the text:
1. Hand-to-hand combat — essential part of training for our soldiers and security. Earlier we didn't pay attention to this aspect of volunteer program, but from now on they will have basic knowledge of self-defense. Later we plan to add more to this part of volunteer survival program.
2. We receive reports about new object on the Ansora Island. They call it "The Blind". I don't have exact information about its habitat. But just at the same time we started receiving reports about strange noises inside "P.I.T." facility.
3. Explorers from "Owl" squad described a lot of changes around and inside P.I.T. Such changes may occur around the island we will keep watch.
4. Security department report that volunteers started crafting weapon modifications. Here is a list of new ones: "Bulldozer", "Eradicator", "Dog Rose", "Sadist". They give pretty strange names. Though if it helps them survive longer names don't matter.
5. A lot of volunteers experienced strange anomalies with items in containers, they could appear out of nowhere when they woke up. Now this anomaly should stop breaking your plans and hopes.
6. Our guards reported some violations of volunteer campaign. Some people could enter the island without official documents. This rules are much stricter now and there should be less criminals on the island.
Hope my curator won't be mad at me for sharing this information with you.
