- Price drop - 27 March 2019

- MacOS support - 27 January 2019
We have to stop supporting MacOS due to the fact that Steam achievements have stopped working on this operating system. Colleagues in the shop have already reported a similar problem in the new games on this engine, but we hoped to the last that everything would work in the old ones. We will monitor the situation, and if there is a working solution - we will return the support of this operating system.
- Chapter 3 - 26 April 2018
It was done! The third chapter of the graphic novel is now officially available in STEAM! The update includes a continuation of the story of the adventures of pirates on the island, five new achievements, new posters in the gallery and new characters in the Extra section. Due to the nature of the engine, the old save may not work. Also, with great pleasure we inform - one more our game is ready - Black Jack story - a card game in which you have to take part in the tournament and defeat all its participants. http://store.steampowered.com/app/831060/Black_Jack_Story

All hands on deck! BAD team is pleased to share another piece of information on the progress of work on the second chapter of the "Neighboring Islands". So, let's start: 1. More than 70% of the graphics are drawn. 2. The Russian version of the game has long passed the equator for writing code and confidently moves to a mark of 80%. 3. The translation is completed by 80%. Most likely, we will finish the graphics earlier code of both versions of the game. In connection with which little by little work is already under way to improve the art of the first chapter. For example, the sprites of the "talking head" of the main character have already been redrawn (a couple of examples of "it was," you can see below). This is done because we do not stand still and the accumulated experience allows us to look at the way we have already traversed. We do not want to say that we will change much in th…

Greetings, friends! Barely two weeks had passed since the start of the sales of 'Neighboring Islands' on Steam, and we are already working on the second chapter! Progress report: 1. Plot is completely written out and sent for translation. 2. Work on preparation of illustrations has begun. 3. Draft version of the code is already getting set up to speed up the process. The experience of releasing the first chapter was invaluable to us. We got a lot of bumps and bruises, but now these past mistakes allow us to approach the work process more competently, which accelerates it tenfold. What to expect in the second chapter: 1. Game duration will increase to at least twice of what it is now. 2. New storylines and achievements. 3. Large amount of new artworks. 4. Improvement of the character relationship system, which will provide benefits, including activation of hidden content. Therefore we ha…
