Guys there is a reply from Igor Belago to the letter. I will translate it and you can read it today by 10pm eastern or so.
Good news? Game comes out in a couple of months. Exact date, not yet. It is being tested by actual gamers in Novosibirsk. Not regular gamers, probably relatives of the developers. But its truly almost good to go gold.
There is a lot of details about the game in the letter since I did ask questions about gameplay. Just be patient until 10pm.
