| Happy New Year! | 2024-12-31 | Greetings, friends! Happy New Year in advance! I wish you all the very best and most positive things—success in your plans, good health, and a peaceful sky above! I would also like to share an article with you about the development of my current project, Hail to the Rainbow. This is the second part, dedicated to creating 3D content, working with materials, and surface shaders. I believe fans of behind-the-scenes game development will find some of the aspects of this process interesting. Unfortunately, this part is available only in Russian, but there is an introductory first part in English, which you can find here. Article. See you in the Ne |

| "Hail to the Rainbow" game dev progress | 2024-06-28 | Hi all! Work on Hail to the Rainbow game continues. Now I am actively polishing the locations and game mechanics. It turned out that even if something seems complete, many nuances later emerge and the path to the finale may be longer. But the process is underway. Interestingly, in my current work I am noticing a lot of details from "35MM". It's like the individual handwriting of an artist. Some time ago I published new materials on social networks, and I share them here. Video with fragments of locations, and examples of the photo mode. I think in the world of Hail to the Rainbow there will be a lot of nice places to create interesting shots. |
| Work on "Hail to the Rainbow" game is nearing completion | 2024-04-17 | Hello! I've been working on "Hail to the Rainbow" for five years now. Crazy timing, especially for an indie. The process is intense and emotionally difficult. With each new game you try to invest more and more, pay attention to details, you want to make everything as perfect as possible, and this makes development time longer I finally completed the base of the game, finished all the locations, mechanics and started polishing the project. In general, there is still a lot of work, but the finale is already visible ahead. Last week I played the entire project for the first time, from start to finish. Walkthrough took about 10 hours! Also, the v |
| Happy New Year! | 2023-12-31 | Hello everyone! Another year has passed, difficult for many, filled with emotional upheavals and uncertainty. Sometimes I wonder why people continue to play scary and depressing games when there are so many similar things around us in real life. But for some reason we love to immerse ourselves in virtual worlds like these. Perhaps it’s easier for us, because there the danger is just a scenario, we can easily stop events, put them on pause. In life, unfortunately, we cannot do this. I wish you all good luck next year, so that real danger avoids you as much as possible, strength, good health and a peaceful sky above your head! My work continues |
| AMA 01 presentation. "Hail to the Rainbow" promo | 2023-12-02 | Good day to all! For 4 years I have been working on the indie project “Hail to the Rainbow”. The basis of the game is almost complete and there are many months of improvements and debugging ahead. I need to improve the mechanics, voice acting and localization, level design and much more. And now, I would like to share one of the promotional videos based on the game. Steam page I will be glad to guests in publics VK Group Youtube Instagram Telegram Facebook |
| Teaser of "Hail to the Rainbow" game. | 2023-02-16 | Greetings ! A lot of time has passed since the publication of the latest news, but the work has not stood still and I am finally happy to announce that my new project called "Hail to the Rainbow" has a page on Steam . This is my fifth author's project, which is currently under development. The game takes place in an alternate universe. Advanced technology to improve the life of mankind, led to the collapse of mankind. Ideas about the world of the game appeared in my mind since the time of work on "7th Sector". This universe seemed to me extremely interesting and suitable for deep immersion and explore. "Hail to the Rainbow" is a massive proje |
| Happy New Year! | 2021-12-31 | Hello friends! Happy New Year to everyone! The past year has been difficult and the latest events in the world are like some kind of fantastic TV show or game with an unpredictable plot. In this regard, I would like to wish everyone to survive in the new 2022 without losses :) All health, patience and strength! About projects, at the beginning of the year there will be a small update of the game "35MM" with full support for the gamepad. There will also be some bug fixes. An updated version of the game "35MM" with a photo mode will be released on consoles this spring. The event is very important for me, because for a long time the fate of the |
| The news about the work done and upcoming work. | 2020-12-23 | Greetings friends! A small summary of the news! Some time ago I started work on porting 35MM game to a new version of Unity engine. This is a long and complicated process, because the original build was created on Unity 4.5. When porting, the visual breaks, many shaders are buggy and the game works strange :) As a result, the visual looks without any special differences on the new engine, but there are some features. I don't know yet if I will update the PC version to the new Unity, but the ported version will be used for the consoles release next year. A new photo mode is planned with depth of field settings , zoom, iso, etc. At the beginnin |

| New Project | 2020-10-20 | 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 an |
| Process | 2020-09-24 | 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 Second video - workflow 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 w |
| The Light - Release! | 2020-06-04 | 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 |
| The Light Remake - Soundtrack | 2020-05-25 | 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. The Light Remake |

| Book based on 35MM story | 2020-04-24 | 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 projec |
| The Light News. Our Timer. | 2020-04-13 | 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 |
