Hello everyone, You lads are very supportive and mature community. You’re all amazing people, you’re very inspiring, and I really wish you all the best. I hope we'll meet again and again in the future!

I’ve wanted to make pixels alive since my early childhood. I still remember how I saw Heroes of Might and Magic, Wolfenstein 3D and Age of Empires for the first time, and that experience still gives me the strength to move forward. I'm still remember reading an article in a game magazine about a new software called Steam, back then it was supposed to revolutionize the way we play games forever. I’ve actually started making games and software in 2003. Since then, there were some ups and downs, but it was a fun ride along with so many great games. Different creators has different approaches. Some people prefer to work on their game and stick only to their own ideas and tastes, others are listening to the mainstream trying to make your next generic mass product which you could gift your loved ones on holidays to make them happy, and some are listening to their players and trying to find a middle ground. Each developer has its own preferences, and it’s not like those are different people. Lads, you are all very different people. “I like to play this game because I want to learn new things”, tell us one of our fans. “If only I could skip those explanation bubbles”, tells us one player, who doesn’t care about any explanations. “It’s no fun to make exactly the same game for the third time”, thought me when I’ve started my work on the game. I think that there is no clear solution in situation like that. That’s why our model is to make the best game we can, hear all of your suggestions and make it the game most of you would enjoy. We’re trying to collect your feedback and understand what we should make next or how to fix something that is broken. We’re reading your reviews, forums and watching letplays to both have fun and understand where things might went wrong. And that’s not the same thing as adding advanced features which we were never planning to add, or reworking the game from the scratch. I’ve met many amazing game designers who are designing free-to-play games, and they say that good free-to-play gives ability to pay more for those who wants to pay more, because their money actually keep companies and games running and updated with the new content. Pay-to-win and similar tactics are actually considered bad, lazy, wrong free-to-play between us, devs. Gaming industry is quickly evolving, and non-free standalone games might disappear almost completely in the nearest future. That said, this has nothing to do with True or False Universe, which is an absolutely free game. My message for those who are still disapponted with the game or me:[b] you can’t always get what you want[/b]. We got to do what we got to do; you’ve got your rights as customers, and we do respect them. And I don’t need your money; this game cost me my heart and soul, I've put several months of my life into making it, and I believe that no amount of money will ever compensate for that. Hell, devs like me take money only because they would allow them to work on more games for players we do love.

We’ve fixed that annoying delay after the fact without explanations, now it works three times faster. I’m still thinking if there really should be a way to skip explanations because that would take significant amount of my time and implement and wasn’t planned by design. We’ve also fixed plenty of content and questions - thanks to everyone who sent their reports and suggestions! We’re expecting big news soon. We’re working on the update v2.0, but neither release date nor feature list were decided yet. Please do not buy any of our games until the further notice (the next update). I hope we’ll stay in touch via Discord or some other way. This is a free game, this is my gift to the community for their love, and it will remain as a free game until the end. I’ve actually cancelled my ticket to Valve on Friday morning. Just enjoy the game and don’t worry that one day someone will reset your achievements or take the game away from your library. Your experience is our experience as well. Let it be. Best regards, Vladimir Maslov
