Breathedge News

There it is, look! Yes, there, look, it’s close! Let’s gather around the table!

You probably haven’t noticed yet, but the New Year has already crept up on us from the back and is poking a finger in our ribs. No, no, it’s definitely not osteochondrosis, we are sure. Perhaps the New Year wouldn’t be so tactless if we were lying face down on the beach and eating sand, but sadly, we are lying face down on the floor and eating polished white long grain rice. If you are not too busy contemplating the sandy interiors of your crab hole either, then we would like to heartily notify you about the New Year and congratulate you on it, of course. For this occasion we were planning to make a beautiful New Year postcard: we took out our paintbrush and some old supplies of black gouache, but Ms. Anna (Basyamba) gave us such a great fanart congratulation that we threw our paints into the nearest airlock along with our self-conceit, and we are now sharing her congratulations with you.



Isn't this great? Thank you, Anna! Thanks to everyone who is trying to save the Man and make his life a bit more unbearable. We thank everyone for your participation in the history of Breathedge. We hope that the year 2019 will be at least 2019 for everyone, as for Breathedge, we wish this year to be the release-from-early-access one. You threw money into your monitors, had your faith in us, bombarded us with positive comments, and gave us new ideas. All we got to do now is fulfill all the plans and finish the game in such a way that one could say: “Wow, Russian game dev is finally rising from its knees!” And that everyone would want a sequel, a new history, but we wouldn’t do it because we would be eating sand and contemplating a peaceful life of a crab, while thinking of a new universe. So it goes. Happy New Year!

Yep, practically no one. That's right, and certainly not the ones who played Breathedge. See for yourself: a tragedy happens, thousands of people die, the only survivor is trying to get a breath of fresh oxygen, and you are sitting and snickering about it. That's the apogee of cynicism! Do you feel ashamed of yourself? We don’t, and therefore it’s time to take away the gift bag from that old man and talk of many things.



Presents first. We’ve got Santa’s gift bag, but there are no congratulations in it, so we won’t congratulate anyone on anything. And it’s too early to do that anyway. However, we’ll shake a Christmas discount out of the bag. It’s a bit worn, and was probably used for purposes other than intended, but hey, it’s still a discount. In addition, we’d like to remind you that this discount will be the last one for the current Breathedge minimum price. Further, as promised, the next chapters will be released, and the price of the game will increase in direct proportion to our greed, so if you didn’t have time to buy the game yesterday, don’t buy it today either.



The second gift you’ll get is our happy smiles. Unfortunately, we do not have cameras, mobile phones, or even faces, that’s why our artist tried to portray the happy Redruins Softworks team on paper.



Let’s look into the gift bag further: some pieces of paper, cigarette butts, a cucumber... Ah, here it is! While our scriptwriter was engaged in teaching kung-fu to a domestic turtle instead of writing the script, other team members were naturally unhappy that he did not invite them as experts. So we decided to do a common thing for adults: to get offended and play building bricks, and also to give you an opportunity to get offended and play building bricks too.



“What is this masterpiece and how can I make something like that?” you may ask. You can play these building bricks through an additional, hidden, and mythical tool called Breathedge: Constructor, which is activated on Steam and remains with you forever, probably.



In this tool you will find a full-fledged basic construction functions, with the help of which you can not only build great and useless buildings, but... but, well, that's all you can do with it. At the same time, it gives free scope to creativity, and the craziest buildings will go down in the history of Breathedge, so don’t forget to share your screenshots in social networks. By the way, there is no saving option here. If you have constructed an exact copy of Venice, and your cat has turned off the computer by puking on the socket, the copy of Venice will be lost forever.



How to discover this world of useless construction? To do this, please open Steam, hover your mouse over the Library tab and select Tools there. In the opened list, you need to find Breathedge: Constructor and install it anywhere you like. Done! Wait for the update and get rid of your computer which turned into a brick (just kidding). By the way, your main game and saves won’t be deleted.



Apart from constructing indecent stations, there will be a small surprise under the Christmas tree in the form of the most NOT stupid mini-game in the world. This is a very intellectual, enriching, and, once again, NOT stupid game that you can find in future chapters.



There are no more gifts left and it's time to talk about the eternal. So what could be more eternal than the development of Breathedge? As we have already said, we want to release two chapters of the game at once, expanding the world and possibilities. It takes time, effort, and a fully trained kung-fu turtle to complete the script. Narration is an important part of the game, many mechanics are connected with each other, as well as with game events, and we wouldn’t want to separate them. In addition, we are trying to give freedom lovers as much freedom and sandbox playtime as possible, but at the same time we are trying not to lose the spirit of the linear and integral first chapter. We also don’t want to add spoilers by releasing updates with two-hour pieces of the game.



Aside from that, we listen to the community and see that it insists on showing something interesting, so Breathedge: Constructor will be updated in the future and supplemented by various game mechanics until the new chapters come out. Very soon you’ll be able to build a transport compartment, a vacuum cleaner for flights, and your personal Zaporozhets car here. Also new types of artificial intelligence will appear here and you can even shoot at them. New tools will appear and something else, probably dead. In addition to the dubious fun, you’ll be able to quickly write your opinion and suggestions on the work of the mechanics, and we can ignore this opinion and spoil what the players like. Testing will also take part here, and we are also thinking about the possibility of players participating in the creation of modifications, content and other goodies, but this is not for sure, we didn’t say that.



At the moment we are at the most difficult stage of development: we are creating the main gameplay. However we would like to inform you about our plans for further updates. According to our estimates, the launch of the second chapter together with the third one should take place before the beginning of summer, most likely in the next 3-4 months. So start poking at us with your stick somewhere in April to check if we are still alive. If we are still stirring, then you are in for some breathtaking flights across space, unique liner debris, new meaningless tasks, new broken antennas, construction, the sea of ​​the dead, mayonnaise bombs, asteroid explosions, getting acquainted with captain Shepard (all references are purely coincidental), snarky comments on Steam, military development, two big secrets of Babe, coffin navigators, body grinders, and much more. And if we are not stirring, then it means that we are dead. So it goes.
