Aye-aye, we are sure you are going to ask us how have we managed to come up with an update when we are busy working on the iPhone and iPad port. We are very busy indeed, but we can not simply leave you without a more stable and efficient version of the game. Greet the 1.1.73 update.
- Loading time decreased
- Tens of performance and stability improvements made for iOS
- New interactive objects on the table (find them all!)
- Brand new icon
Today we will hold a huge playtest of the iOS version of the game. What kind of playtest? In the very best traditions of playtests. With pizza, stories about what's good and gone, kitties and etc. What? You thought that playtests are not like this at all? Well, maybe we have our own personal format. We promise to share some photos with you soon.
Join iOS closed beta test
If you want to join the iOS version test, please drop a message to GospodinNoob in Discord. Please specify your device model (Settings -> General -> Model), iOS version (Settings -> General -> Version) and Apple ID (the email you are using to log into your iOS device).
P.S. We also do have some news on the EDU version of the game, that we are very eager to share but we simply can not do this yet. We want it so badly, but... You will have to wait a little bit more.

New Update: 1.1.72
How's summer going for you? Back in Moscow, we're almost freezing, and no, that's not because we're in Russia. We're just going through a chilly one.
We even had to make a special in-game item because of that, but we'll speak of it a bit further.
As for our new update, it's hot, hot, HOT. Perhaps. it's the biggest one this summer! Here's what's new:
We've made the graphics more flexible, meaning that it now supports all kinds of display aspect ratio, not just 16:9. It even fits nicely on ultrawide displays. Or at least it's supposed to (let us know if it doesn't)!
You've asked for it more than once and now it's here: self-driving car levels have been reworked! The tutorial was made way more comprehensive;
Gameplay in the aforementioned levels has been smoothened and now is far less confusing
We've also changed some minor interface elements in those same levels
And we've added a warm and fuzzy blanket to your collective chair, in case your summer is as chilly as ours (or maybe you even live live in the Southern hemisphere and it's winter for you anyway)
We've added some new backgrounds for your obscure in-game workplace. Should be more cozy now, goes well with the blanket, too!
We've fixed some teeny-tiny bugs here and there
Now, for the really important stuff! Our very own petting zoo is growing in all kinds of senses! Release the cat now looks prouder than ever:
And the new sheriff is in town! He's at the CEO's desk and the plate says 'Big Boss'. Fits him nicely:
He's actually a degu and his name is Vadim. He's reported to be capable of destroying cages, opening doors and suddenly jumping on you from various kinds of surfaces while you're asleep. And he's a biter. Look how mighty he is (pictured on the right):
Anyway, the devs are back in the office and back to making this game even more awesome for you! Until next time then! Don't forget to share what you think about the new update in the comments and/or on our Discord server!
Hell, go to town: mention us on Twitter, comment on Facebook, write us a paper letter, send us a raven (or maybe a degu). We'll be there for you!

No Updates For Now, But...
Guilty as charged: we won't be releasing any new stuff anytime soon... Not because we're in the lack of things to improve, it's just... summertime, so, honetsly, come on!
However, we're always up for new feedback from you! We've improved so many things in the past 1.5 years thanks to you, but the quest for making the ultimate machine learning video game is yet to (if ever) be beaten!
Tutorials about machine learning is our biggest concern at the moment (and always, to be honest). We've tried our best to make them as comprehensive as reasonably possible. We know they're still imperfect and we wish to make them better!
If you want to help us, please spare a few minutes to complete oursurvey! As a token of our gratitude, you'll get a promo code for a real cute cat outfit after filling that one out!
P.S. In case you're wondering about how Release the Cat is doing, rest assured: he's doing alright

Hotfix Everyone!
As if merely updating the game weekly wasn't enough! Here comes our hotfix, in its full glory! Behold:
A new icon that takes you to entreing your scheme's catchy name
A new shortcut which allows you to use 'Ctrlz+Z' (and respective combinations om other OSs') to undo even a supposedly deleted scheme!
That bug in 'Supervised Learning' branch of quests, where you could've gotten your paycheck after the test run and no the actual release run -- is no more!
In other news: Release, the cat is growing fast and exactly as one would expect, given his nickname. He has changed his properties (e.g. fur color) shortly after being named Release. Typical release thing, if you ask us!
Anyway, have a great week and see you after the next update!
New Update: 1.1.70
Believe it or not, we've got yet another update! Here's what it brings:
You can now release your schemes right after the test run (oh yeah!)
You don't need to train blocks while working on startups and DLLs
A whole bunch of minor adjustments on the scheme editing screen, aiming to make it neater
Results' screen that appears after running a scheme is now way more informative than before
A handful of minor bugs have been fixed as well
How do you like it, friends? Definitely let us know! Have a great rest of the week!

Chinese anyone?
Dear Chinese-speaking friends!
Recently, we've noticed a rather unexpected surge of interest to our game. As far as we can tell from the analytics, many new players are coming from China these days.
We're very happy to see you here and we'd sincerely like to make the game even better for you! If you could spare a minute, please answer one question in the comments (or drop us a line to info@luden.io): how did you discover our game in the first place?
Let's make while True: learn() even cooler!

Hotfix Online
To the bravest people who have been struggling with newly emerged bugs from the last update: we've fixed them! (Well, so we hope) Enjoy the game!
As a small token of compensation: check out this cute dark kitten that our office manager has bravely rescued from the savage streets of Moscow!
