Comrades!

This year is over. And as you may have noticed, 2022 has arrived. However, if you didn’t have time to notice it, we apologize for the spoiler…

The most important thing, of course, is to wish you all the best and nothing bad.
So this difficult matter calls for the good ol’ grandma wish. That’s why we wish you everything that grandmothers do but multiplied by three. If for some reason, your grandmother hates you, then it's not our fault — we still love you, even if you’re lousy grandchildren. Even Bob.

Hear that, Bob? We adore you!



All right, formalities and wishes aside, it’s time to get down to the main topic of this news. As we’ve already mentioned, 2022 has arrived. Surely, you’ve found all these “twos” quite suspicious — and you’re right to do so. The year 2022 consists of two numbers “two,” preceded by two other numbers, one of which — get ready for it — is also “two!”

An amazing coincidence? We don't think so.



Let's move on. 2022 is not that big a problem until the 22nd day of the 22nd month of 2222 comes — this is where it gets very serious. In addition to the upcoming "Great Number Two", we have spent exactly two years in the pandemic or, to be more precise, 731 days.

731 — have you noticed?

If you subtract the last “1” from the second “3”, it will be 2.
If you subtract the last “1” from the first “7” and then divide it by the remaining “3” – you get 2 again!
Even if you add up all the numbers 7+3+1 it will still be two!
By the way, “B” is the average grade in the diplomas of the developers of Breathedge, and it’s the SECOND letter in the alphabet…!

… Another coincidence, you say?



Many of you have probably already started to get nervous and are looking at your watch, where there is probably a number two. Did we guess right? A-ha!

But that's not all.

This piece of news was rewritten twice and was published on the second attempt on Steam, which belongs to Valve Corporation. As we know from unverified sources, 2 is the favorite number of this great company — definitely not number 3, nope.

See for yourself: Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2 (4 = 2+2!!!), Portal 2, Dota 2, Counter-Strike Online 2, and even the Source 2 engine.
Maybe it's still just a coincidence?

No, no, and no!



Was that not enough?

We say “Ha ha!” to you — two times. Number Two hasn’t even started its disastrous march yet.

Right now, walk up to any mirror — come on, don’t be lazy.
How many nostrils, ears, eyes do you see? Most certainly Number Two pop-ups in your mind — only the chosen ones can say they have just one nostril.

Alright-alright, if that doesn’t impress you, the following thought experiment certainly will:

Now, close your eyes… Breathe in and breathe out two times… Think of Number Two, and count to two.

When you counted to two, what was the last number? Don’t rush to look at the answer below… Have you counted it yet?

YES, EXACTLY — IT’S TWO!

“OMG, OMG, OMG!” you scream. “How did they know?!” you keep screaming.

That’s it!



We could provide no less than 222 examples of Number Two entering our everyday life — from two attempts of our programmer to fix bugs to two of us wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in this piece of News. (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, comrades! — here it is, the 2nd time.)

But all this, of course, is an extremely huge hint at you-know-what…

Yes, yes, yes!

You probably have already guessed: “All this developers’ “Number Two” speech is for a reason. They’ve probably prepared some information about something we’ve been waiting for so long!”

And you’d be right if you have!

That is true! Today, in the year of 2022, after the release of Breathedge, we’d like to officially announce that we are going to recommend you to brush your teeth no less than TWO times a day! Two! Two. Two, two, two.



So it goes. By the way, if you’ve read this piece of news two times, then you’ve probably noticed that some letters in different words make up the word “two.”

It’s unexplainable, but it’s a fact.

Well, and traditionally we would like to remind you that you can always send your questions, wishes, or requirements to repair your saves to the two contacts listed below. Sometimes we respond via direct messages on social networks, but Discord or mail will convey your idea at times faster, fuller, and better. We don't know how it works, but that's not the point. We would be happy to receive your messages!

Greetings, comrades!

It's getting a little cold outside, just like being in outer space without pants, but that's not important right now.

The important thing is that the Steam Awards are coming up. We've been asking some chickens around, and they told us we should definitely get the Outstanding Game with a Rich Plot award. Why, you ask? We have no idea, it sounds as distant from us as possible, which means we have to take it. If you love our Man, Chicken, and space dumps, then vote for the Party, Breathedge, and Outstanding Game! Or just for the best game. Or vote for the worst game, or don't vote at all...

In fact, the most outstanding ones here are you, our favorite players. And rich, and the stories are you too, and the games, and the quotes…

That’s all there is to it. And yes, thank you for being with us! We'll see you soon. Someplace, somewhere...

RedRuins Softworks

You might have already guessed what we wanted to tell you about in this post. And yes, you’re correct. “A” is the first letter of the English alphabet, and “U” is... uh, some other letter. That’s all we wanted to inform you about. See you in six months in the next piece of news!

So, before we start to spew another tall-tale, we wish to let you know that the expansion release date is timed to coincide with the expansion's release date that is...today! Goodness gracious. We even made a video about it, a nice one (probably):

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

What do you mean “there isn’t enough news?” What do you mean “we’ll hang you by the part of your body you made this game with”? How can you even threaten to hang someone by their legs? It's highly inappropriate, it's... ah, whatever. So here’s the news.



A lot of time has passed since the release of Breathedge. We could name the exact number of days if we knew how to count, but we’ll just use vague wording instead. The release showed two important things that determined the immediate future of our team:

1. People love us. Yes, that's how presumptuously we can say that a lot of wonderful players wonderfully love wonderful us, and we love wonderful them. And it's wonderful!
   
2. People hate us. Yes, that's how presumptuously we can say that a lot of awful players awfully hate awful us, and we awfully hate awful them. And it's awful!
   

What does it mean? It means that Breathedge was a success, at least part of it. For all this long time after the release, we’ve been discussing, thinking, analyzing, planning, sleeping, eating, and discussing again. So what have we come to? We came to nothing because we haven’t been discussing the game… Haha, just kidding! (Probably) We came to a simple and clear conclusion: we urgently need another project. It’ll make everything better: mechanics, graphics, plot, meaning, mood, digestion, ecology, and you never know what else it will improve. It just has to be created!



Let's forget for a second about new projects, dreams, and unicorns, and return to reality: Breathedge. A completely finished project, from the intro to the credits. The game has one small feature — it was conceived as a short single-player adventure game with elements of survival (or a survival game with elements of adventure, we’ll never know). Of course, this is not a drawback for the game, because why not? But it’s a drawback for its capabilities. Breathedge cannot be qualitatively expanded or radically improved in its current form. All its troubles and sorrows, like backtracking, a stuttering autosave, or the inability to close the crafting window during crafting, can only be fixed by changing the core of the project completely, breaking everyone’s savegames, and destroying their progress. It’s not so easy to implement multiplayer in the game, give a construction set to the suffering, the world cannot be expanded (the game will explode from the number of textures). When we analyze the result, our crooked legs strut toward redesigning everything, but we understand that we won’t be able to make it any worse than it already is anyway... unless we throw some DLC into this Furnace of Horror.



About the DLC, by the way. We have not forgotten that it should be released soon, so we are going to release it as late as we can. As promised, the DLC turned out to be very small, difficult to play, and stupid, like the whole game itself. It may seem surprising, but in the DLC, you will have to survive — yep, that’s right — despite everyone expecting a Barbie florist simulator. However, unlike the main game, where you can survive as long as you want, in the DLC, you will have only thirty minutes to complete a task. Or thirty tasks to complete in one minute... Ah, never mind. This story will be focused on one of the test subjects in a mysterious Leia Interplanetary Research Center. The Leia Center is either a bogeyman story to scare children or a tale of drunken astronauts, but perhaps it really is floating in space and is directly connected with the Breatnedge Global Funeral Agency. A small story about a big world, a little man, a lot of dangers, and yourself, armed with half an hour and your talent for survival. This is kinda what this DLC is about, uhuh.



But we got distracted from the topic of the new project. Analyzing Breathedge in detail, we clearly understand what we would like to improve, where we could add, and where we should’ve cut. We want more, we want improvements, and we still have the strength and opportunities. In connection with this set of big words, we decided not to wait for the end of our fifteen-year vacation and the introduction of a microtransaction system into Breathedge with cute hats for the Chicken, but to start working on a new big project right now instead.



In this piece of news, we won’t tell what exactly we’ll have to work on, we won’t even hint at it. Otherwise, there will be no reason to roll out another piece of news about anything. And yes, we refute in advance the vile accusations that we ourselves do not know what we will be working on. This is a lie and a provocation! We know everything, this is a super-duper project with a beautiful title, and it's about all sorts of different things, there will be characters, locations, and the main menu. We even have a promo concept:



Oops, we’ve forgotten about an ad break! Something-something Frederico Pignole latest fashion collection, yada yada, and something else...oooh, right! Freebies! That’s the stuff. Everyone’s up for some cost-free fun, right? How about taking a camera into your hands, building a makeshift shovel, finding a backyard to pillage, putting on your grandpa’s gas mask, and doing some fighting? We will, that’s for sure. Up until the 7th of October, you can try doing all that in a free demo of Outbreak Island, a nice game made by our dearest friends. It’s something, isn’t it?

So it goes. By the way, if you’re reading our news for the first time, then you are probably at a loss on where you can write rapturous reviews about our literary gift? That's why we have a Discord server and email. And we’d like to remind you that we handle negative reviews, objective criticism, and difficult matters with special care, and for such messages, we have allocated a separate folder in our email and called it "Trash". That's how cool we are. We are waiting for your messages, we are working hard, and we will probably see you soon.

Sincerely yours, us.
