- ALEK IMMIGRANT - 26 September 2026
I don’t know how everyone will react to this experiment, but I think the idea is cool. I didn’t want to make a DLC and I didn’t want to work on this character anymore. But I saw I had accumulated a huge amount of material and assets from the previous project. It would be a shame if they went to waste, so to speak. Those who know me long enough know that at some point in development I planned to send Alek to the USA, which is why I left such an ending in the main game) Now I see a growing interest in this character, and after so many years I’ve grown used to him. So I think it would be nice to see how his future would unfold.Plot.In 2000, Alexei Smirnov "Alek" immigrates to the United States after all life’s twists and turns, where he plans to start a new life and, as they say, get out of the business. Of course, no one will let him live in peace, because he quickly falls under the influ…
- Reaction to Patch 1.0 - 22 August 2026
Hello everyone! It has been some time since Patch 1.0, and finally the situation with reviews has leveled out. I would like to thank you all and ask you to continue leaving as many positive reviews as possible, as they affect the visibility of the game on Steam. It appears that I have addressed the critical and major issues, as players are no longer writing about them.
- Patch 1.0 - 2 August 2026
ALEK Patch 1.0 will be completed and uploaded within the next week. While I’m working on it, please review the list and, if possible, add comments or wishes so I can promptly weave them into the new build.The list of fixes you will see in the update:Removed fall damage (there isn’t anywhere to fall)Reduced damage from enemy fireIncreased damage from player shots (therefore greatly reducing enemies’ time to kill)Implemented “hip-fire” shooting, as many requestedImplemented reloading while aimingChanged gunshot sounds for pistols and the muzzle flash of the AKSU (the AK74 muzzle flash is fine) and removed the dense smoke from guns (this was often mentioned; I redid that) also reduced bullet spread for automatic weapons, making long-range shooting more accurate and convenientAdded medkits on levelsReduced the number of grenades the bots carry; they will appear occasionally but now much les…
- RELEASE RESULTS - 21 July 2026
Hello everyone! I've summarized the first week and can say that Alec's release did not attract the attention of either the audience or bloggers. The game is practically uninteresting to anyone. I haven't even recouped a small portion of my investment; fewer than 200 copies have been sold. From this, I conclude that the project simply isn't needed, which means there's little motivation to continue working on it. Nevertheless, I will try to make some changes (mostly cosmetic). But don’t expect this to happen anytime soon. I planned to gather statistics and feedback for the first few months, which are currently very minimal and mostly negative.Regarding bugs and glitches, please post your suggestions here (but not randomly; be specific about what you'd like to see—comments like "the game is ugly" or "it's a piece of trash" are not constructive and will be ignored. If you don't like it, don…
- THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS! - 14 July 2026
Thank you to everyone who bought the game, played it, and left reviews! I read all of them and take your feedback on board. I might release a couple of patches in the future to fix some of the game’s issues.
- The game ALEK is currently under moderation on Steam. - 2 July 2026
Friends! I know I wrote that the release would be on July 3, 2026! Since this is my first release, I didn’t account for the build verification and moderation process on Steam. I submitted the game for review on June 29, 2026! It is still under review. If I don’t manage to finish everything by tomorrow, the game will be published immediately after approval! The finished build is already uploaded, and all tweaks have been made. I hope Steam won’t have any questions. So, please don’t be too hard on me and understand the situation. A couple of days plus or minus doesn’t change much.Regarding bugs. I’ve done my best to fix everything, and I don’t see any critical bugs (on my computer). I realize there might be quite a few people who find minor issues (if they’re truly minor, my apologies). Of course, I will listen to your feedback and criticism, and you can count on a few patches, but not im…
- The release of the game ALEK - 26 June 2026
The day has come, the hour has arrived when my game ALEK will finally see the light after 6 long and challenging years of development! I want to thank everyone who has followed the project; I realize that there are probably only a few left by now. The game has been in development for too long, but better "late" than "never"! So, the release of the game will take place next Friday, July 3, 2026!I would like to thank my friends who helped me with testing:Sergey Noskov (indie developer);Ilya Kolesnikov;Nikita Reutov.All the testers agreed that the project is good and memorable. I hope you enjoy my game!
- Metaphors and allusions - 18 September 2025
I never wanted to create just a "game." I have always been interested in various meanings, hidden meanings, references, and metaphors. Among gamers, these are usually called "easter eggs."At first glance, this video may seem out of place and completely unrelated to the topic. So be it! That’s how it looks today, but when the game itself is released, you will understand everything. Then you can watch it. Intriguing, isn’t it?Unfortunately, RU only( I thank my fellow game developers for participating in the video.Danila Ermakov (creator of the game "Heart of Altai") – the role of Vanya GonilovKonstantin Kondyukov (creator of "Sumo Tatami") – the role of Zheka Lyupinov
- Music video for the song "Na Belom" by Caspian Cargo feat. Gio Pica. - 2 September 2025
Autumn is beginning—my favorite time of year and the most productive! I'm almost done localizing the game (with English subtitles and comic inserts in English).Work is in full swing, but for now, I want to cheer you up with a very atmospheric music video. I heard Caspian Cargo's song "Na Belom" and realized it fits Alek's story perfectly. I decided to make a fan trailer.
- A short demonstration video - 3 August 2025
Hello everyone, it's been a while since there was any news!First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has followed the game to some extent or another. There have been many different events in my life and in the world in general (not always pleasant). Unfortunately, the development of the game has turned into an endless long-term project. There were periods of inspiration, followed by downturns when I wanted to give up and completely lost interest. I poured all my strength and nerves into this project, investing about 400 thousand rubles (around $3,500–4,000), and this is the biggest and most significant project in my life. I want to apologize for the long development time and endless delays, but guys, believe me, developing games when you're doing it alone and it's not your main job is hard. I would even say it's a feat. Of course, a game of this kind could have been developed eas…
- AUDIOBOOK ALEK ONLY RUS! - 30 December 2024
Всем привет друзья! Already tomorrow the year 2024 ends, in connection with which I hasten to congratulate everyone on the most important. the warmest and most fabulous holiday of all! Happy New Year! I wish everyone the realization of the planned and fulfillment of all wishes in the New Year 2025! I also have a little news. I have finally finished recording the audio version of my third book “ALEK” and I can say that I have voiced all my books. All audio versions are on my You Tube channel. Audiobooks are a whole separate genre, literature is perceived in a completely different way and books are opened from a new side, and then nenyshnye tendencies lead to the fact that people read less and less. In general, I'm satisfied with this work and I'm glad that I finished it at the end of this year. The book turned out a little dark and hard, but fans of atmospheric noir action movies I think…

- THANKS FOR 1000 WISHLISTS! - 7 June 2022
Today accumulated 1000 wishlists for what I want to say to all of you thanks a lot friends! Thank you for your trust! Your support really motivates me and does not let me relax! I try very hard to meet your expectations and do everything to make sure the game doesn't disappoint you!
- КНИГА ALEK! - 23 January 2022
Friends, I'm happy to announce that I have ALEK in the works! It's a thriller about the adventures of Alec and his associates. I thought that much of what I wanted to tell about these characters would not fit only in the game, because, after all, the game is primarily entertainment. The game needs more action and a lot of what the game won't include (precisely because of the format) will appear in the book. In general, it will be the same story, only much richer and much more extensive. Feelings and experiences will be described, more will be said about the characters and their motivations. Alec's friends will play a prominent role in the book. I think the book will be released much earlier than the game. Firstly, to fuel interest, and secondly, it will help players catch the right mood and properly dip into the 90's. I don't want the game to be seen as an adaptation (of sorts) of a boo…

- Моя Книга "35 ММ" - 10 January 2022
Good afternoon, friends! I present to your attention my second book "35 MM". It is a literary adaptation of the game of the same name by Sergey Noskov. The game made a serious impression on me, so I decided to write a short novel based on it. In it I transformed the game's plot into a literary form, added storylines, characters, rethought some events. And at the end there will be a surprise for fans: an interview with game developer Sergey Noskov. At the moment the book is only available on Ridero, but will soon be released on LitRes and Ozon Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
