I need to apologize to the English-speaking auditory. Unfortunately, for a most part this blog will be available only in Russian. I do not have enough time to write a multilingual posts, but I will make an effort to bring to you at least “project status” news.
We are searching for translators now, so the issue could change in time.

Happy Cosmonautics Day! – 2

maGik — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 07:25:53 +0000

“Cosmonautics Day is a holiday celebrated (mainly in Russia) every April 12 to commemorate the first manned earth orbit. It was established in the USSR on April 9, 1962.

It is celebrated in honour of the historic first manned space flight made on April 12, 1961 by 27 year old Russian cosmonaut Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin of the USSR, who made one complete orbit around the Earth (lasting 1 h 48 min) aboard the spacecraft Vostok 1″.

Especially for today we have a beautiful widescreen wallpaper for your pleasure:

We have a whole bunch of new screenshots from our WIP-alpha-demo-version prototype. They are absolutely unpolished and show totally WIP content. But they are interesting in some way, so you can take a look on our development process.
