Just Here To Say 'Hi'!
Well, not just for that, sorry for not being completely honest :)
Since you're already here, we've wanted to mention that our brilliant artist is working on something special: you friendly handy guide to machine learning from A to Z and beyond! Check out some teasers below:
Machine learning is not at all easy, it takes more than just one game to understand it (normally it takes a couple of years in college, but anyway). So we're making this piece of infographics to serve you as a map in this sometimes confusing and ever changing world that is data science.
We'll let you know when we're ready!
That's not the only thing we're working on, naturally! Let us remind you of our public Trello board, with a roadmap and whatnot: https://trello.com/b/MNIKsP2V/while-true-learn-roadmap
And in case you've missed the news but not going to miss GDC, we'll be there, feel free to come say hi (and get some cool stickers :)) - https://steamcommunity.com/games/619150/announcements/detail/1763626975579947060
Our friendly CEO Oleg is already on his way to the US, so it just got real! Yay to machine learning, all hail robots (and cats)!

GDC 2019, IndieMEGABOOTH, Here We Come!
Ok, so the headline pretty much explains it all. However, if you're not following our glorious industry's party calendar, here's the deal:
We've been invited to participate in this year's IndieMEGABOOTH. It's like a traveling circus with all kinds of weirdos (in a good sense) and their weird (in an even better sense!) games. One of these games this year happens to be ours!
It's a first showcase for while True: learn(), so the word 'excited' wouldn't describe a tenth of the thunderstorm of emotions we're going through these days :)
As for GDC, well... It's one of the most hip conferences in video games industry there is, so there's that. And we'll be there!
If you happen to be around Moscone Center in San Francisco on Mar 18-19, feel free to look for us on the 2nd floor!
ML. In Simple Words.

Hi everyone,
We have some exciting news for you today. A cool lad out there named vas3k once wrote a great article "Machine Learning for Everyone. In simple words. With real-world examples. Yes, again". And now its translation to English is finally available! The article is very funny and is perfect for helping others to understand what machine learning is and how it works. Even our artist Sergey read it!
Here is the link to the article: https://vas3k.com/blog/machine_learning/
Speaking of the next while True: learn() update, we are continuing to go through your feedback. We are definitely planning to fix the issue with DLL and Custom Nodes, it is a very stupid issue and something we should have worked out long ago. It is a consequence of one of the concepts that appeared in the first months of development when we’ve been thinking that it is a great idea to tell about modularity in the game. Meaning that we can imagine that these blocks contain code that is rewritten in C++ and therefore works very quickly. But in the end, in puzzle mechanics, it looks weird.
We are working on bringing the game to iOS and Android, and at the same time, our heads are filled with thoughts about what the game’s future holds. We want to fix everything that raises questions so that the game brings joy to anyone who plays it. We are discussing such thoughts as adding real visual (or maybe not even visual) programming or separate storyline about real Machine Learning framework, such as, for example, TensorFlow. We also have some crazy ideas like making an additional browser game for Jupyter Notebook and a stand-alone game about managing programmable startups.
What we want to say is that we are constantly trying to think what can our game turn into in the upcoming years and what our players want to do with it: simply have fun, build projects inside the game or prepare for machine learning interviews :) If you have not yet told us what you think about all this stuff, it is the right time to finally do so.
P.S. We have something amazing in progress, can't wait to tell you more. Here is a spoiler :)
Thank you, we will be back soon.
The promocode for this Dog + Cat skin is SPEEDPLAY, because of this story:

New Update, Next Steps
Hey! It's us. How have you been?
We've been... Busy! And overwhelmed. With your love. With your support. With your critics (of course!). Even with your bug reports!
The only thing we didn't have time for is celebrating. Quite the contrary: we're ready to start taking next steps! For the past few days we were fixing the nastiest bugs (fortunately, they were not overwhelming) and answering your feedbacks. Here's what is expecting you in today's update:
Startups rebalanced and optimized, along with some story levels
Custom nodes & DLLs have been restricted to use for getting gold medal on certain levels
Updated randomization algorithms: remember when changing sockets in a block sometimes given you different results somehow? Not anymore!
Updated translations: Chinese Simplified (99% done), French (99% done), Spanish (99% done), Turkish (12% done) and Dutch (12% done)
More interactive objects in the character's room
Many minor bugs and UI fixes
We've added a comprehensive section to the game, which contains educational materials mentioned in the game, comfortably stacked in one place. You can also check this materials in our blog entry
Custom themes for the main menu (try BACKTOWTL promo code to check out for yourself). Oh and don't forget to try SPEEDPLAY promo code to get a very special cat skin, inspired by a certain discussion on our forums
While you're trying to process these small but numerous changes, we'll keep on working: our main task for this week will be to process your feedbacks from all the channels and decide what should we start doing next. Stay tuned ;)

Three... Two... One... Liftoff! We're officially out of Early Access! This is while True: learn() to Ground Control! One small step for video games, one giant leap for meaningful games! https://store.steampowered.com/app/619150/while_True_learn/
The countdown has begun. You have less than 24 hours to grab your copy of while True: learn() for its Early Access price. Tell your friends. Check your piggy banks. You've been notified.
Update 0.4.57
Catty Holidays!
Happy Catidays!
Ok, close enough (for humans, not for machines though)
Behold the last update of 2018 (that is, if we don’t have to publish a hotfix, but fingers crossed!)! As one can mention by the date, it’s a festive one:
New cats, inspired by our community during our #designyourowncat event: use promo codes CRUMP, NOTAHUMAN and CATBUS to unlock them
More cats on tutorial screen and all over the UI in general (no time to explain, you’ll see)
UI tweaks in general
Holiday decorations, updated
Massive bug fixing
Hopefully, that concludes our work in 2018. We hope you liked it (and we’ve seen from reviews, that many of you did!). See you in 2019! Don’t forget to make some New Year resolutions that matter: like, ‘Complete a Machine Learning Course’ and/or ‘Beat all levels in while True: learn() with gold medals!’
Happy Holidays once again! You’re awesome and you know it.
Happy Holidays!
Wow, what a year! We've been through a lot and we'd like to thank everyone who's been following our progress, even for a little while!
We've released while True: learn() to Early Access!
We've made a million tweaks and improvements
We've almost developed the game anew since the srping
And now we're almost ready for releasing it. But that's a story to be told next year...
Have a great time while 2018 is still around! We'll have even more fun next year! See you then
Always yours,
Friends at Luden.io
Update 0.4.55
This week was sure full of events for us! It's been almost a year since we've released our first playable version to the world and now we're closer than ever to going out of Early Access! Which will officially happen on January 17, if you've missed our announcement from before.
We'll also raise the game's price after full release, so make sure you have the game while it still has that EA price tag!
As for the new version, it's mighty cool as well. Here's a list of main improvements:
We've finished polishing the tutorials: now more humane than ever!
We've reworked the algorithm of learning in self-driving cars levels: now more stable than ever!
We've updated the UI: now more user-friendly than ever!
We've fixed many bugs: now more unbugged than ever (probably)
Also, there are some holiday decorations inside
Speaking of beautiful things: we're still accepting your ideas for our community-inspired cat costumes! It's your chance to become part of the game! More details here
