Love, Money, Rock'n'Roll News

Dear friends,

Given that there isn’t much time left before the release of “Love, Money, Rock’n’Roll”, we have grown curious about your choice of the device on which you play. Please fill the survey.

Just a short explanation: if you are planning to play on several different devices, then tell us the one on which you spend the most time. For example, if you sometimes play on your phone on the way to work/school, but mostly prefer to use your PC, vote for PC. On the other hand, if you have a computer, but prefer to spend time on your sofa with your tablet, vote for the respective mobile OS.

And, as usual, we are reminding you that there’s still a little time left to make a preorder - and receive some pleasant bonuses, an honourable mention in the titles and all the future DLC (for free).

Dear friends,

The world is slowly recovering from the coronavirus, and the governments are gradually easing the quarantine measures and cancelling the restrictions imposed earlier. However, throughout all this time, we, as previously mentioned, have been working on the game! Today we would like to show you an example of a remade animation of sprites:

Not all the characters have been fixed yet, and that’s what we are preoccupied with at the moment.

Besides this, we are completing the final route of the game - Kagome’s path. It feels somewhat special to us in many senses - because it is the final step of the way that accounts for more than half a million written words, and, perhaps, because the problem of the character is particularly close to me (that doesn’t mean that I like the rest of the girls any less). I would also like to mention that we have received very positive reviews with regards to Ellie’s route from our friends and acquaintances - I am aware of the fact that many would pick her as a favourite, so we guarantee we will not disappoint you! It also interests us to observe the development of the story: in the beginning, many of the key moments were missing, but they are fully present now. Indeed, any piece evolves and progresses as the time goes by - starting as a quick idea, a flash in the author’s mind, and reaching the phase of the complete novel or a game, after having thousands or tens of thousands of hours put into it.

This summer we are planning to start an internal and then the closed beta testing of the game, so, this time, you will not be waiting long!

You can support us and get some pleasant bonuses along with all the DLC that will be released in the future here.

Dear friends,

May 9th is Victory Day in Russia, and it is particularly remarkable that this year we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the greatest triumph in our history. Today we all recall the heroic deed of Soviet people and other nations, who committed to living in a peaceful world, and hope that the nightmare the Second World War was will never occur again in the future!

In regards to the development of LMR, it is going according to the plan. As we are finishing the script, the need for some new CG’s has arisen, and our artists are currently preoccupied with that. It’s always pleasant when the project turns out to be exactly what we have expected. Although it might be richer and more diverse in terms of its content, the main idea hasn’t changed, rather developing together with the author. One wants to believe that the work one put so much effort in cannot be mediocre. Besides, the inner voice in each creator’s head is always the strictest judge.

In any case, we are trying to stick to the highest standards of quality and doing everything within our capabilities to make the game worth your while! That’s all we can say for now, but we promise to give you more concrete data already this summer!

You can still support us and get some pleasant bonuses as well as all the future DLC.

Dear friends,

In these dark times, we all experience a lack of good news and positive emotions. Instead of updating the newsfeed and your Facebook page regularly, please spend some time with your close and loved ones, watch a remarkable film, read a good book or play a fascinating game. Today’s post isn’t to be focused on the prevalent negative atmosphere.

It’s well known that the process of creating art is non-linear in its nature, so the final result might deviate from the expectation to a certain extent. It turned out to be the case with LMR – the final scenario consists of 400.000 words instead of 300.000 as we assumed earlier. However, even such a volume is not enough to fit all of our ideas, so you might expect at least one DLC after the release. Remember, it was the same with Everlasting Summer?

As for the scenario itself, there are only two parts out of twelve that aren’t completed yet. In addition to that, we are finishing the coding and drawing parts. Unfortunately, while some of us indeed got more time to work on the project because of the quarantine, others, rather paradoxically, have experienced quite the opposite effect. However, putting all the separate elements (text, art, and sound) together is a much more rapid process than creating them. Therefore, “Love, Money, Rock-’n’-Roll” is eventually going to be released before the end of 2020!

Finally, as a token of our gratitude for your patience and support, we would like to announce that the ones, who have already made a preorder or will do so before the release, get the future DLC for free! Please mind that there isn’t much time left. You can sponsor us and get quite a few pleasant bonuses here.

Dear friends,

These months the world has been facing an unprecedented challenge in this chapter of human history. Not being a news site, we would still like to throw in our two cents regarding the situation that is, in one way or another, concerning everybody for the time being.

In the era, when the digital economy develops and flourishes, the Internet is becoming more and more present in all aspects of our lives, and the prior socioeconomic and political models are getting outdated, the necessity of reshaping the way we and our successors are going to live on this planet as a species and individuals is growing evident. The historical processes are mostly inert, and even radical changes such as revolutions do not alter common people’s daily lives at once. Unfortunately, the current event is yet another confirmation of that: the global threat did not make the ones, who are responsible for their nations’ well-being, put aside their interests and fake ideas about the universal justice to unite in the presence of something more sinister than the stock market crash or the oil trade war. Virtual liquidities of several individuals, expressed in numbers with many zeros, are ephemeral and may disappear instantly when real menaces come into play. As it turned out, the GDP volume, the book values of the biggest enterprises and the curve of economic growth are not always correlated with the ability to quickly and adequately address the global challenges. Therefore, we hope that in the 21st century, human’s life is still going to be valued above private property.

On the other hand, this pandemic has again proved the common truth: your conscience is the best moral controller. If everyone is to take prudent measures to protect themselves, we will hopefully have this nightmare left in the past by the summer. Take care of yourselves and your close ones!

As for the development of LMR, the pandemic does not influence it. In fact, many of us have got more time to work on the game due to fulfilling the working duties remotely.

Since most of you are obliged to stay home as well (and wait for LMR), you can use this opportunity to play Everlasting Summer once again or enjoy one of the multiple modes created for it. Meanwhile, you can also make a preorder of LMR here and get some pleasant bonuses.
