Edit: Evgeny has properly translated the letter into English. Thank you very much.

Hi,

Two versions of the demo were presented at IGROMIR. The first one was from the previous IGROMIR and it was presented to let people get acquainted with the “Single Player” mode. The second one represents the mode, that has been just developed, it’s called “Instant Order”. This demo is very raw, so there may be some bugs. This mode was created to let people get acquainted with almost the whole ingame territory, the capabilities of particular supply depots, the capabilities of particular trucks. We think, that such acquaintance allows a player to choose the optimal strategy in the final version of the game.
In the second demo almost the whole ingame territory and most trucks were presented.

The things, that left to do:
1) The plot subsystem. Here the big part of development is left.
2) The game world. Here mostly the painterly modifying is left.
3) Trucks. The same as for 2).
4) Total testing. It’s being done permanently.

As for the release date, I can tell anything precise now. And not because I don’t want to or it’s a secret. Just because there some factors, that are hard to predict. But I can tell, that it’s not sooner than in 2-3 months. We want the game to be released as much as you do and we do our best to achieve it. Even developers’ stamina has its limits.

Thank you. Igor.
