7th Sector news & patch notes

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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/d25ae5a6c417179aae80a4926be97cdd7948db76.gif My work continues. I had plans to update already released projects, but the current work on the Hail to the Rainbow game takes a lot of time. At the moment I am nearing the completion of the project. I really hope to complete the work by the end of 24. In the meantime, you can take a closer look at “Hail to the Rainbow” on the Steam page, and also watch a short New Year’s video based on the game. Happy New Year! VK Group Youtube Instagram Telegram Facebook

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

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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35906195/532d5e0e1c82a31d6039219064c9f191c916a47f.gif "Hail to the Rainbow" is a massive project with great attention to detail. The work has been going on for about 2 years and the final revision will take about the same amount (approximate forecast). In the meantime, I will be glad for the interest shown and the addition of the game to the wishlist. There is a long way ahead, during which I will try to share materials and best practices. Some content will be published on the Patreon channel. Good luck to all! "Hail to the Rainbow" on Steam VK Group Youtube Instagram

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/3a4551b9e78f74427c9e4d20e819358739407770.jpg 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 and events is planned. The fantastic theme provides a lot of room for ideas. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/dec157d1b31fcf9d2609fbb33417d89f81574338.gif As a basis for the main character, I decided to take the image of a boy from the video ZAMILSKA "CALL" / Elektro_sonda As soon as I saw him (the boy), I realized that this is exactly the image that I want to see in the game. A great inspiration for the future atmosphere of the project was given to me by the amazing works of Simon Stalenhag, on which I had my eyes for a long time (I am not attaching work, you can google it) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/6dd1a0af15cd2afe3e59d2698b12752235925fd8.jpg Overall, I plan on improving the quality level a lot. I really hope that all the ideas will be implemented, although it will take a long time. I will keep abreast of developments and find a minute to publish! Also, I will be very grateful for support, informational and in general of any kind! PS. In connection with Halloween, there will soon be an interesting competition with a cash prize associated with the project The Light Remake. There will be a post next week!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/58f4d57bb9e10dc41f13b8d3267d234354a4a2ca.jpg Hello friends! It's been a long time since the 7th Sector was released. A lot of new work has been done. Despite the fact that the game did not thunder very much, it is very important for me and the experience gained will be used in a new project. By the way, the topic of the new game will probably be related ;) 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 projects. 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 with some delay. I will be glad to all guests!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/d6f3741ec1d34ef34673598c9db2943408c310f6.jpg 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 correction and a link to the original game (if someone has not played). Also, after the second finale, another bonus opens associated with the movie projector. Have a nice time for everyone! VK Group Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/c14581bdc368d56f78ee39c131709738b6ce9c6a.jpg Friends, I congratulate everyone on the upcoming New Year! Let everything be wonderful and the next year will give us many wonderful events in the game world and in real life! May there be more power for work and may there be more time for rest! For me, this year was very productive. Active work on the 7th Sector project, release, participation in the Devgamm contest, the beginning of work on a remaster of the game The Light, and many other tasks. The end of the year is very crazy and eventful for me, not enough free time, but I hope that at the beginning of the 20th year I will finally get to the release of The Light remaster! At the moment, work on the visual part of the project is almost complete and will continue to work with sound. Work in progress! And now, you can follow the link and add the project to the wishlist - it will be sooo nice :) https://i.ibb.co/fGGBJbs/gif2.gif Good mood to you all!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35906195/2f946f661a42de7b2d60361c116eb9dada13937d.jpg Hello! Work on the game "The Light. Remaster " in progress (Game Page) The work is not going as fast as I would like, but now there are so many other things that finding time is not easy. In parallel, I deal with some other tasks, so I have to jump from one to another. Perhaps this is even good, because the monotonous and routine work is constantly replaced by something new. There is not much content in the game, but I really try to pay attention to every detail. Recently, many interesting technical elements have been created, about which I even plan to write a short article later, maybe for someone it will be useful. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35906195/dd607a2018fd7335ec2f0568babec3166f353e76.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35906195/94359bac3cde298b18377f0e6c7f74b1d218bc7f.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35906195/c1cb8bfff5cbaba638aacd1dfd6c19e0c5dec860.png I am editing the game code, modify the localization system, the save system and achievements. These steps usually take a lot of time. I am adding new content, updating textures, old models and waiting for news from my composer :) For this project, the music will be written by the author of the soundtrack for the game "35MM" - Dmitry Nikolayev. Collaboration continues! Thank you all for your attention, I will be glad to guests on social networks! VK Group Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34509723/1913e42ceadae17b42126c7faea3d60eab72b54f.jpg Hello! After the release of my last game, half a year has passed. Some times I worked on improvements, bug fixes and worked on a small DLC. Unfortunately, the 7th Sector game did not arouse much interest of the public, so there are no planned extensions and DLC. But, i plan to add an easy level of difficulty. At the same time, I was thinking about ideas for a new project, but so far there is nothing concrete in my plans. In creativity, there are times when you realize that you stand still and good ideas do not go into the brain. Therefore, for now I want to make a short break in new developments and work on a remaster of my first projects, that have not yet been released on Steam. I am currently working on a new version of "The Light", released in 2012. I plan to improve the graphics, make the narrative more understandable, expand the location and make the project more complete. I will be very grateful for the addition to the wishlist, it inspires and motivates the work. The Light in Steam Also, I will be glad to guests in the group ВК In Instagram Twitter and Facebook Thank you all for your attention! My google translate is very good, I know))

Recently, on May 17, to be exact, 7th Sector won the Devgamm Awards competition in two nominations, Best Indie Game and Excellence in Visual Art! This is a very important and solemn event for me, inspiring further work! Sleepless nights of development were not in vain :) Ps.

After the release of the game, several mini - stories about the world of the 7th Sector game were published. I thought through the universe of the game in detail, and the game has a big storyline branch, but I could not put it in the puzzle-platformer genre.

Update 1.0.1 - Fixed a bug with going beyond the location - The control of the drone with using the gamepad is smoother. - Changed the toy car control from the cross to the left stick. - Added control map with gamepad (main buttons) - On some puzzles, the pause between the buttons is reduced - MAYBE, fixed bug with invisible people, casting shadows. I could not repeat the bug, so there are no guarantees. - Fixed a bug with the achievement "Chronicle" when collecting all the pictures in the menu

I hope the game will leave a positive impression. Now I am planning my future work. Most likely, I will not start a dev of new game, I need a rest. But I have idea, to release two of my old projects: "Light" and "Train". Also, maybe I will dev a DLC for the 7th sector (Maybe with first person). Write in the comments, how do you think about this idea? And of course, I want to make several updates for "35MM", add new elements and fix old bugs. I unfortunately did not have time for this before. I don’t say about 7th Sector updates and fix bugs - it goes without saying. Thank you all for attention!
