Breathedge News

Update 0.9.2.8



Comrades! Launching the Man into space went well! However, there were several issues that overshadowed his stay there, but we are working on them.

We fixed one of the serious saving errors when players fervently transferred the save file from the first chapter and received... nothing, or a beautiful window with an error. This happened because they did it manually without an autosave file. There should be no such error now.

The second serious issue is the game’s committing suicide on old PC configurations, despite the fact that the first chapter worked well. We cannot guarantee that the game will work on hardware which is weaker than the minimum requirements, but we try our best for the owners of any configurations. We are now sorting this out and trying to understand what exactly overloads the old hardware, why, and where (if you are one of those lucky people whose game worked in the first chapter and committed suicide in the second one, please contact us via e-mail or discord, if you want to help us test the game).

For sure, you might write angry reviews. But before doing that, if you have any problems with the game, please describe them, and attach some logs/screenshots/videos. You can send us an e-mail or message us via Discord. After that, you can dislike the game, ask Steam for a refund, and try to identify us by our IP address. However, without your description of the problems, we may not find them. Why else do we need early access? Thank you!

Comrades! The time has come to dust off your spacesuits, put on your space diapers, and wrap yourself in electrical tape because Breathedge continues!

Everyone was expecting us to shift the release date again and made beautiful posters with obscene slogans. Well, that was in vain. Today, in spite of global warming, two new chapters of the epic saga about the simple Man will be released (or they have been released already if you are reading this piece of news a bit later than it was planned).



Before briefly describing what the new chapters are about, we cannot help but share a unique commercial from the Breathedge Global Funeral Agency, which you can easily see on TV if your calendar shows the year 2073. Let’s go!

Here we are! The future is beautiful, or do you still have any doubts about it? We don’t have any either. We’ve got a small trailer left, timed to the release of the new chapters, and designed to show that we can fill in the background with the red color and make large captions right on top of the video.

Be-e-a-a-u-u-tifull. Nope, we're talking not about the trailer. While you were watching it, we were watching the mating dance of the striped spiny lobster on TV, as usual. But oh well. Did you notice that many new things appeared in the game? We didn’t, because the description of all these goodies was already included in one of the previous big pieces of news. Please follow the link if you don’t remember:

However, if the trailer and the robots are something new to you and you were taught not to follow suspicious links in your childhood, then we simply have to briefly tell you what is included in the current update, by showing you pictures from the previous pieces of news. So:

Breathedge will have two new chapters telling the further story of the Man, his immortal chicken, Babe, coffin robots, and the wrecked liner “Unnamed”. This is not the end of the story, however, the denouement is near. Probably.



The game’s world will expand because the story can be continued only in new places. In general, this is what will appear in the game: several cubic kilometers of garbage, 40,000 new words, about 120 interesting and extremely useless points with collectibles, 6 cutscenes (with poor animation, we remember we promised that), and 530 new voiced lines of the cheerful spacesuit. Or maybe not 530, but something around that number.



There will be even more items for littering your pockets with: about 15 new resources; about 15 new tools, from a blaster to a brand new enhanced handy scrapper and a grenade; a dozen new types of equipment, which will include various types of spacesuits each having their own special features (if you don’t mind dragging them around with you).



Finally, the Man gets to own a car and a “Rocket” vacuum cleaner. It’s prohibited to drive them without a license, but you’ll do anything to survive, won’t you?



We’d also like to mention some robots that will bring life to this uncosy and dark space. Well, it’s not quite accurate to call it “life” when it comes to robots, but at least they can move sometimes and even shoot you in the back.



The construction of space stations will become a large and difficult thing for learning. You can construct them anywhere, and as many as you want. Or not construct them at all. Although surviving in space will be much harder without a station. You can use a station to rest and fill in the oxygen, or you can use it as a luxurious home for a real bachelor, with a bed, a TV, a food processor for crafting stuff, dead comrades, a shiny toilet, dozens of different items, equipment, and decor. There are about 50 different blocks and decor elements, that is if you find their blueprints.



There will be more languages. All three chapters will be not only in Russian and English but also in German, French, and Chinese languages (although the audio will still be available only in Russian and English, at least for now).



And certainly, there will be more other small pleasant things, such as different game modes, even for those who don’t like wasting their oxygen, dozens of achievements, a minigame, more settings, freezing autosaves, and even an easy way out by using Alt+F4.



That’s it!

Or not? It’s more like a “not”, as it’s not the game release. The story of the Man isn’t over yet, but we are planning to finish it by two more chapters, as cool and boring as they can be. We won’t tell you about our future plans, but we will certainly let you know when we have any.

And another important thing: due to the fact that the current update is way bigger than when it was initially, it affected all the possible parts of the projects, including the ones in the first chapter. If you used to see beautiful space earlier, but after the update you see a beautiful prince trying to kiss you instead — don’t hesitate and tell us about it in Discord, or send us your messenger chicken.

We hope you’ll like the game and have fun playing it. So it goes.

Comrades, it’s almost September 3!



This means only one thing — the adventures of the simple Man in space are about to continue. To be more exact, two new chapters of Breathedge will be released on September 3, 2019, at 10:00 AM PT.

We’d like to remind you that it’s a free update that will ruin neither your saves nor your nervous system and mind. Well, we are not exactly sure about your nerves though, or your mind and saves.

The upcoming chapters consist not only of space expanded with more debris, but also of the continuation of the story, vehicles, station building, decor, many new tools, equipment, resources, collectibles, and other different kinds of garbage.

The game will include enemies, that is if you find them. If you don’t find them, they will appear anyway, as well as new game modes, many additional settings, minor additions, and features you asked for.



And as we promised, the game will include German, French and Chinese localizations. This is not the complete list of languages that we’d like to see in the release, as we haven’t learned any more of them yet.



Please follow the link below to learn more (spoiler alert): https://steamcommunity.com/games/738520/announcements/detail/1606009229964077125

There will be a 30% discount as well! Everyone who likes to count, by using simple calculations will be able to determine the coefficient of our greed. Those who don’t like to count... ok, the coefficient is three. So it goes.

And yes, if you want to stream our game, or would like to offer us a trombone at a discount, or perhaps you are a representative of the press and you need a key, please write to us at [email protected]

Comrades! Did you expect that the release of the new chapters will be on September 5? Well, don’t. We’re shifting it to September 3. Inconsistency is a sign of genius, or someone just spoiled our release date with their major release.



In any case, this news is not exactly about the release date. As we reported earlier, there will be a discount with the release of the new chapters, but in the next few days, the game’s price will increase (we showed the exact table of the new prices in the previous piece of news, but we will post it again here). We’ve previously mentioned that the price will increase with the release of the new chapters, but why it will increase a month before the release is a question. In fact, this is connected with some very complex technical features on Steam, which we will now try to explain to you in detail. So, to make a discount, you mustn’t change the price for a month. That’s all.



We’re done with the technical features, so now let’s move on to the ethical ones. Due to the fact that the price of the game will increase, and nothing new will appear in it for another month, we strongly recommend refraining from purchasing this masterpiece at the inflated price until September 3. With the release of the new chapters, not only will you get a serious expansion of the game, but also by a good 30% discount.

So it goes.

Oh, right! Someone might have noticed the appearance of some new undiscovered achievements. Please note, that you can’t unlock them before the release of the new chapters. This is how we work and spoil everyone’s statistics.
