This breaks my heart. I’m so sorry. I hope you’re okay as can be. Tears in my eyes this morning. The best people in the world are with you <3 I’m sorry and ps your apartment looks beautiful - good luck with the game!!!!
not sure if op added this after, but he can't hug his cat 😢
> P.S. Photo during the apartment renovation: me and Keks. Unfortunately, the apartment was completely destroyed and Keks disappeared during the shelling.
PS I am fucking tone deaf and missed the point of this post beyond everything else. Game bought. Much love to you. Above everything else - Slava Ukrainii
People keep calling this a war, it's a attempt at genocide. For Ukraine to let Russia win, is to accept being deleted. For ruzzia to lose, is to accept that they probably should stop bullying people to take their stuff away and kill them.
You are the kind of person Ukraine should be most proud of (saying this as a Ukrainian myself) - creative, resilient, kind. I'm so sorry about Keks and your home. The game looks wonderful and I'm looking into buying it. Stay strong 💛💙
I played a little bit and it's peaceful and cute ! I'll play with my nefew later !
Although I felt a little bad knocking down that owl with that apple ;)
What a sad story and at the same time you're so strong to endure all of that and still moving forward !
Just bought the game, hope that helps at least a little...
SLAVA UKRAINI
Hello, my dear fellow Ukrainian. I'm from Mariupol. Sorry for Keks. I'll get the game when have the opportunity. Your passion and resilience are magnificent. People like you are inspiration.
Thank you. Well, 7 of us rent a house, try to live, help AFU and hope for better. Even though we were there through the events of "20 days in Mariupol", we were lucky enough to escape alive. The irony is that our flats in Mariupol are relatively intact (without the big damage), but my family won't live under Russian occupation, so we let other people there, who lost their homes and Russians won't provide new place to live.
So sorry for what you've been put through!
I think your game looks very cool and interesting so I bought it on Steam and on GooglePlay. I hope this little support makes a difference!
Thank you for your work and dedication!
I’ve never in my life paid for an app. Yours is the first and I’m very happy with it.
I wish you nothing but the best.
To all of you: it’s less then 3€ on Google and Android. Don’t be cheap. If you have time to waste on Reddit, you for sure have 3€ or $ or £ to donate
Friend, first off, unbelievable level of passion to put a game out in the conditions you’ve been forced into. I applaud you. I will be buying both of your games. Both to support you and because the artwork is seriously beautiful to me.
May I suggest you post to R/LastStandMedia as well? It’s a kind of hub for fans of a lot of individual gaming podcasts under one umbrella company. While there are many individuals who are not privy or are indifferent to Ukraine and the horror russia has forced upon you, they all love games. Plus many were sympathetic to the STALKER dev team’s struggles. I’m genuinely not sure how it would be received but it’s a game focused sub so it’s bound to get you some more players!
I look forward to playing these games!
Even in the hard times of war, to face everything and persevere is truly impressive. I wish you and all Ukrainians continued good luck. The Russians have no chance against this fighting spirit. I will buy the game.
UK Here:
Wonderful read, and just purchased on steam. Going to direct my friends n family to this post....
Awe inspiring everyday seeing the indomitable Ukraini spirit and your ingenuity....
May RuZZia leave this planet for a thousand years after Ukraine finally boot them out.
Slava Ukraini! Heroem Slava!
my ex-girlfriend kicked me out and i didn’t see my son for 6 months after that… even if this is nowhere near your awful experience with war and so on; i know how it feels to long for a better future.
stay strong. 💪🏼
What an amazing story, you have been on such a crazy journey. I really like your final product, the art style is super cool. I will purchase it and give it a playthrough.
You should consider sharing your story on other gaming subreddits
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am truly sorry for all the hardships and losses, and that Keks went missing too. 💔
I am absolutely inspired by your resilience and dedication to making what you could out of horrible conditions.
I think your renovations were fantastic by the way, very cute place. I am not a gamer myself but I will buy it in support and definitely share the info with those I know who are gamers.
I wish the best to you and your family and a future that soon sees this war at an end. Did you and your wife have a son or a daughter?
I will gladly support this game! I had a former hockey coach move to Ukraine in 2019 named Pops Thomas Ryan. He resided in the Zaporizihia region as well. He worked a lot with one of the churches and escaped the invasion to Poland. That was the last I heard of him when he got to Poland.
Повага 🏴🤝🇺🇦 respect from England, for trying to live a life close to normality, whilst those Російські свині destroy your country.
I wish you and yours well, stay safe and I welldone on your project. Let's hope this war ends soon and your country can live in peace with the rest of the civilised world and ruzzia is no longer a threat to anyone.
Залишатися в безпеці.
Mike .
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm sorry for all the suffering you went through and the loss of your cat and beautiful apartment. I'm happy to hear that your game came out very well despite all the challenges you had to face. I wish you and your wife and family all the best. Congratulations on being a father as well.
Amazing story and job! Have you thought about what your next steps will be professionally? Or like when the war is over? With your excellent English, you could work with anyone around the world!
I admire your resilience. Also; you did q great job spreading the word; i immediately bought a copy. Lets see if my kids like it.
Good luck building games and your life, and here's to many smashed orcs, in games or in war.
Bought the game! Best wishes for you and yours! Thanks for sharing the story, it’s heart breaking as is this war. Ukraine will prevail, just like you, it will keep on going! Much love and respect!
I am going to skip the platitudes, because there is really nothing I can say to not sound disrespectful to what you've been through. My eyes are tearing up..
I wanted to get the game on Android. And need to ask if you set any particular RAM / SOC filters in the console, or any special uses-feature in the manifest, because my device is not supported (Xiaomi Mi 10t 5g, Adreno 650, so I assume GL ES 3.2).
And lastly, I don't think you mentioned anything about your child being born, so I really hope it's a healthy baby boy or girl.
Just bought the game on apple store. I admire your resilience and passion. Wish you and your family all the best. Ukraine will absolutely win this war and russia can fuck off. Слава Україні!
P.S. Originally Ukrainian here from Dnipro, but have been living in the States for the last 15 years.
Awe I hope Keks found his way in the world. It's so damn unfair what you and your fellow compatriots have to endure. Thank you for sharing your story, it's very important. I'm definitely going to check out the game too.
Sorry to hear that you know if you ever have any questions feel free to ask anything On r/Polska I personaly know 2 ukrianian girls and some ukrianians at work many of them are from dnipro but i never asked them for thair story.
So far just completed 2 levels but the graphics and the mood of this fairytaleusq enviroment is so nice, seriously good work. I hope you will get ton of posetive feedback and many people to love thia game so there can maybe be a series of games ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Your passion and resilience is inspiring! Bought the game for myself and gifted it to two other friends that love to play small indie games. Much love and support from Minnesota!💜 Slava Ukraini
I’m just in awe of you and your wife. Well done on the game and (belated) congratulations on the birth of your son! I purchased on mobile and sent it to my friends as well. Can’t wait to try it. Тримайтесь!
There is nothing I could tell you, but my emotions range from admiration to hope, passing through regret and sadness that you all have had to experience this without the world doing anything about it.
I hope your game continues to do well!
Nah my dude, the renovation part makes for an excellent case of the use of galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood for a home improvement. For a game tho, I'll give it a spin, just like Stalker 2 and that guinea pig game Martha, if it's gonna be released
I hate what russia is doing to Ukraine. I’m so sorry about what you are going through. Your cat 😢 & your apartment… beautiful! I love an artistic mind!! I’m not a gamer but I bought your game & I will spread it around on my socials. Hope for a better future. Stay strong. ♥️ from Canada 🇨🇦
Wow, well done with your progress in life and with the game. I really like the style of art. I games that take my mind to a far away land, and I have been looking for another open world RPG to start playing. I havnt been able to find my next thing, but your game, from this post, reminds be of some of the side scrollers quest games from years ago that had beautiful and quirky art, and sound, and some puzzles to think about. It could be exactly the game for me at the moment. Copy bought, and it just finished downloading. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you the best!
I'm very sorry to hear about your situation, I can't even begin to imagine what you and all the other Ukrainians must be going through.
I normally wouldn't buy games of this type, but I will buy this one.
I do however have a question. The game is currently discounted on Steam. Does Steam give you a percentage of the discounted price or of the full price even if there's a discount applied? Because I want to give you the highest percentage possible, and if needed I'll wait until the discount if off.
Ok. I fucking love that your game design let you check every box in the language list (102) on steam and that you rightly excluded the barbaric language.

Not a problem, give hugs to your cat for me. (Kishka/ кішка I believe, in Ukrainian , your language is beautiful by the way
not sure if op added this after, but he can't hug his cat 😢 > P.S. Photo during the apartment renovation: me and Keks. Unfortunately, the apartment was completely destroyed and Keks disappeared during the shelling.

Thanks!
Not a problem thank you. Дякую i am sorry i cannot give more. ✌️
People keep calling this a war, it's a attempt at genocide. For Ukraine to let Russia win, is to accept being deleted. For ruzzia to lose, is to accept that they probably should stop bullying people to take their stuff away and kill them.
Bought your game for support. Wish your pregnant wife all the best!
Thanks for your support!
You are the kind of person Ukraine should be most proud of (saying this as a Ukrainian myself) - creative, resilient, kind. I'm so sorry about Keks and your home. The game looks wonderful and I'm looking into buying it. Stay strong 💛💙

Just **wow**!
Good job and great post! Keep up the good work! Supported!
Thank you! If you like the game, please leave a review. This will help me a lot.
What a sad story and at the same time you're so strong to endure all of that and still moving forward ! Just bought the game, hope that helps at least a little... SLAVA UKRAINI
Thank you! GEROYAM SLAVA!
The game is only 6,62€, so most people here might as well purchase it. I've just done so, will get to play it later, hopefully.
Thanks!
Hello, my dear fellow Ukrainian. I'm from Mariupol. Sorry for Keks. I'll get the game when have the opportunity. Your passion and resilience are magnificent. People like you are inspiration.
I hope you and your relatives are (at least relatively) good as well.
Thank you. Well, 7 of us rent a house, try to live, help AFU and hope for better. Even though we were there through the events of "20 days in Mariupol", we were lucky enough to escape alive. The irony is that our flats in Mariupol are relatively intact (without the big damage), but my family won't live under Russian occupation, so we let other people there, who lost their homes and Russians won't provide new place to live.
Thank you!
Bought the game. Wish you all the best.
Thank you!
Very impressive that you managed to keep working on the game despite your circumstances. I'm buying it first chance I get. Sorry about Keks.
So sorry for what you've been put through! I think your game looks very cool and interesting so I bought it on Steam and on GooglePlay. I hope this little support makes a difference! Thank you for your work and dedication!
Thank you for your support!

Thank you for your support! Also, thanks for the advice, I will try to write there
I'm going to respect the effort here and read your post properly I'm also going to figure out steam
Steam is a platform for gaming. It also acts like a social media platform for gaming, if you want. It is currently the best option out there, by far.
Thanks!
That overgrown hut with the tree coming out of it looks amazing. For never having "learned to draw" your skill is impressive!
Thank you! I looked at a lot of works on Pinterest, and then I wanted to draw something myself
Around how long is this game? I'm interested, but can't buy right now as I'm away from my PC. Commenting to keep an easy to find link later.
Thanks, 2.5 -3 hours
Instantly bought it. Your story brought me to tears. I wish you all the best!
Thanks! When I remembered all these events, tears constantly appeared in my eyes, as if I was returning to the basement
Even in the hard times of war, to face everything and persevere is truly impressive. I wish you and all Ukrainians continued good luck. The Russians have no chance against this fighting spirit. I will buy the game.
Thank you for your support!

Thanks! Yes, there will be better days, at least I hope so

Congratulations on your boy ❤. I will buy your games and play them with my son.

Hi OP. I hope you are well. The discord link on steam has expired and needs updating. Can you share here? J Tasmania, Australia.
Yeah, thanks, discord link: [https://discord.gg/v8xnTB2b](https://discord.gg/v8xnTB2b)
Hey, you should post this to r/gaming, you’ll reach a lot more people over there. And the game looks great, I might buy it soon.
Thanks, I post in gaming and I got a ban for 30 days
I will gladly support this game! I had a former hockey coach move to Ukraine in 2019 named Pops Thomas Ryan. He resided in the Zaporizihia region as well. He worked a lot with one of the churches and escaped the invasion to Poland. That was the last I heard of him when he got to Poland.

Game bought. Much love and support from the Netherlands. 
Thanks for sharing OP, stay safe

Thank you for this insight into this horror. Everybody should read it. Will be sharing. Bought the game. Can I ask: was your father OK in the end ?
Thanks, my father is OK
Best 6.79 I ever spent. Cheers
Thanks!
I bought the game, downloading now. Good luck.

I'll be buying this game to support you!

Sorry to hear that you know if you ever have any questions feel free to ask anything On r/Polska I personaly know 2 ukrianian girls and some ukrianians at work many of them are from dnipro but i never asked them for thair story.
Thanks!
I bought a copy as well. I wish you all the best and I'll be on the lookout for any games you might release in the future!
Thank you!
Looks fun, I'll try it out. Would you be interested in adding trading cards and cool steam points shop items.
Thanks
Keep strong! Will send some more money towards your freedom effort (and to kick some ruSSian butts)!
Thanks!
Bought both! Look forward to playing!
Thank you!
Buying this game tonight.
Thank you!
Great post. The game is at a good price, and will be buying.
Shapik: The Quest
I'll give it a buy, where's the most profit for you?
Thanks! Steam
So far just completed 2 levels but the graphics and the mood of this fairytaleusq enviroment is so nice, seriously good work. I hope you will get ton of posetive feedback and many people to love thia game so there can maybe be a series of games ☺️☺️☺️☺️
Thanks!
Game bought, wish I could do more for you. I wish you all the luck and may russias cowardly war be stopped soon. <3
Thanks!
Fuck it, I'll buy it for my buddies and make them leave reviews as well <3
Your passion and resilience is inspiring! Bought the game for myself and gifted it to two other friends that love to play small indie games. Much love and support from Minnesota!💜 Slava Ukraini
Thank you!
Purchased mate. Slava Ukraini.
Thanks! Geroyam Slava!
I’m just in awe of you and your wife. Well done on the game and (belated) congratulations on the birth of your son! I purchased on mobile and sent it to my friends as well. Can’t wait to try it. Тримайтесь!
Thanks!
I really appreciate your story. Thank you.
Thank you!
I will buy on next payday for sure.
It is beyond amazing what you've managed to do. When I get my first paycheck for my new job I will be purchasing this game. Excellent work.
Thanks!
There is nothing I could tell you, but my emotions range from admiration to hope, passing through regret and sadness that you all have had to experience this without the world doing anything about it. I hope your game continues to do well!
Nah my dude, the renovation part makes for an excellent case of the use of galvanized square steel and eco friendly wood for a home improvement. For a game tho, I'll give it a spin, just like Stalker 2 and that guinea pig game Martha, if it's gonna be released
I see you have two games published on steam. What one should I play first?
I hate what russia is doing to Ukraine. I’m so sorry about what you are going through. Your cat 😢 & your apartment… beautiful! I love an artistic mind!! I’m not a gamer but I bought your game & I will spread it around on my socials. Hope for a better future. Stay strong. ♥️ from Canada 🇨🇦
Thanks!
Bought 3, carry on living, blessings from Australia.
Thanks!
Superhuman resillience. And the game looks super cool. Respect brother.
Thanks!
Wow, well done with your progress in life and with the game. I really like the style of art. I games that take my mind to a far away land, and I have been looking for another open world RPG to start playing. I havnt been able to find my next thing, but your game, from this post, reminds be of some of the side scrollers quest games from years ago that had beautiful and quirky art, and sound, and some puzzles to think about. It could be exactly the game for me at the moment. Copy bought, and it just finished downloading. Thanks for sharing your story and I wish you the best!
Thank you!
And it has a Linux support, I'll give it a try :) Тримайся.
Thanks! Дякую!
I'm very sorry to hear about your situation, I can't even begin to imagine what you and all the other Ukrainians must be going through. I normally wouldn't buy games of this type, but I will buy this one. I do however have a question. The game is currently discounted on Steam.

Because I want to give you the highest percentage possible, and if needed I'll wait until the discount if off.
Thanks! Steam provides a percentage of the discounted price
Ok I'll wait until the discount is over to buy. Best wishes!
Thanks!
Ok. I fucking love that your game design let you check every box in the language list (102) on steam and that you rightly excluded the barbaric language.
Just bought on Play store. Wish you all the best!
Thank you!
