Good day, dear friends! At long last we've added Workshop support on Steam! Now you can make your own modifications and sahre them with community. You can find Workshop here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/615530/workshop/
On the 4th of August, exactly a year ago, Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll was finally released on Steam. Looking back, sometimes it appears as if that happened mere moments ago, and sometimes as if a lifetime has passed. Human memory is fickle like that, changing and shifting depending on your perspective and context.
Nevertheless, we aren't just resting our oars — in the very near future, we will be releasing Steam workshop support! We know many people have been waiting for it, and we ask you to wait a little longer — just a few days. Besides that, we will soon start sending out physical artbooks to those who have preordered them. Plus, a certain, very limited, number of artbooks will become available for purchase.
Naturally, we have plans for the future besides LMR as well, and you will definitely learn of them when the time is right. Stay tuned!
Happy New Year!
Dear friends, wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This time we won't be talking about how difficult the past year was (and how difficult the next one may be), but instead, we ask you to just look at the picture below and remember that sometimes our lives may go down a very different route than what we'd expect.
We know that many of you are waiting for Steam Workshop support, and we hope you'll be glad to hear it will be added as early as January 2023!
Additionally, we'd like to offer our sincere gratitude for all the support and encouragement you've shown us this past year. It means a great deal, and Soviet Games would never have existed without all of you.
Just as a reminder, Steam is holding its Winter Sale up until January 5th and Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll is available with a 50% discount!
Winter Sale
Good day to you, dear friends! Steam Winter Sale is starting, which means the time has come for discounts! You can now buy Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll 50% off on Steam!
Additionally, we'd like to present to you our digital artbook! If you made a preorder, you can claim it here: https://lmr.su/account
As for our plans for the near future, we're still working on Steam workshop support. If we talk not-so-near future, we can't say anything concrete just yet, but in the new year, we promise to surprise you with something new in every sense of the word.
Autumn Sale
Hello, dear friends! Autumn sale is starting on Steam and this means that it's discount time! You can get "Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll" with 30% discount!
Future Plans
Good day, dear friends! Enough time has passed since the release of Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll, and in this post, we'd like to share our plans for the future.
1. We are actively working on the production and mailout of the physical goods (artbooks, physical editions of the game, etc.) Unfortunately, the task is made a lot more difficult by the circumstances that have affected everyone in our country. 2. We are making progress with enabling Steam Workshop for the game, which, in turn, will allow for easier creation of user modifications. 3. We are trying to upload the OST to streaming platforms (Spotify, Yandex.Music, etc.) However, here we have also run into gigantic difficulties, and we cannot tell you if the OST will ever appear there since that doesn't depend on us.
Even though we do have some approximate target dates for these tasks' completion, we cannot possibly voice them to you since, in the current uncertain situation, anything can happen. One thing we can say is that so long as we have access to computers and the internet, we keep working!
We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who keeps supporting us and our games! We hope that in this difficult time they help you get distracted from the current events.
Android & iOS
Dear friends! We are starting to distribute keys for love, Money, Rock’n’Roll on mobile platforms!
To claim your key, similar to a Steam key, you will need to log in at https://lmr.su/login and press the button of the desired platform. In the future, once the game is released, you will need to enter said key in the special window that will appear at the end of the fifth ingame day.
Keys for Android, iOS, and Steam can still be purchased on our website up until the release date with the bonus of all future DLCs.
Remember, “Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll” releases on all platforms on August 4th!
1 Game 2 Cups
Dear friends! Today is the day when exactly a month remains until the release of our new game, "Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll"! We have come a long way, one that would've been impossible without you and your support!
Since the last blog post we: 1. Implemented the backer list with the ability to search by name. 2. Put a lot of work into preparing the game for launch on Google Play and App Store. 3. Solved a number of problems not directly connected to the game itself that had been mentioned in the May blog post. 4. Fixed a great number of small bugs that had been found by our community (thank you guys very much!) and showed up when creating especially exotic and difficult situations for the game. 5. Implemented new outlines for narrator names, now they look much better than before. 6. Improved sprite texture quality on mobile devices. 7. Added two more backgrounds. 8. Finishing up the addition of backer names to the credits — gotta have the final list for that! 9. Finishing up the system for giving out preorders on mobile platforms.
As we'd mentioned before, after today we will not be accepting any more names for the credits, but you will still be able to make a preorder and receive all future DLCs (and a digital artbook). We'd also like to remind you that you can buy a key to the game right now on our website.
And one more thing: the image in today's post isn't random. What it means, however, for now, you'll have to guess.
A little help with translation
Hi guys! We know we have players all around the world, so we ask you for a little help. We need to translate 350-400 (description for Steam) words from English to French, Italian, German, Spanish, Brasilian Portuguese, Chinese, Korean and Japanese. So, if you're native of these languages, feel free to contact us at mail@sovietgames.su !
Demonstration of Love
Good time of day to you, dear friends! Our main piece of news for today is the updated demo version of the game. But for starters, let’s review what’s been done in the time since the last post.
The list of changes isn’t that long this time, but each of the entries includes a large amount of work in addition to, as always, a significant number of small changes behind the scenes.
1. Remade the file structure, which allowed us to significantly reduce loading times, especially on mobile. 2. Changed old and added new character animations — now they look better and more alive. 3. Added a second, “Modern” menu style more suited for mobile devices. If you liked the old one better, don’t worry, it didn’t go anywhere, you can always choose it via an option in the menu. This task took up quite a lot of time and effort since the last blog post. It may not look like it from the outside, but making GUI is hard! 4. Added the ability to view animated CGs in the gallery. 5. Updated several more CGs. 6. Updated the appearance of the main ingame interface.
Now, regarding the demo version: it is already available for download on Steam. Though there are no changes to the story, the new demo features updated character sprites, animated CGs, many other smaller changes, and, most importantly, completely remade underlying code. We hope that in the light of the full game’s approaching release, you will find it enjoyable to refresh your memories of the demo. (You can expect the update to be pushed to mobile platforms in the nearest future.)
And finally, we’d like to invite YouTubers and other influencers to receive pre-release (a week or two in advance) access to the game and give their opinions/make videos about it. If you find the prospect interesting, you can send us a letter to mail@sovietgames.su. Just keep in mind that there will be a review process and an application doesn’t automatically mean you’ll receive a copy of the game.
Don’t miss your chance to make a preorder until July 4th to see your name in the credits and get all future DLCs for free (you will be able to receive a Steam key immediately after purchase).
