Ukraine update


Hello everyone, may this Sunday find you well and safe.

As most of you likely know, ArbuzBudesh, our team lead, artist, and friend… is Ukrainian. And you all no doubt know Russia has launched an invasion against Ukraine on the 24th of February, 2022.

He and his family are safe for now, but no one knows how things may change. Obviously, we are all worried about him, and as a team, these events likely will impact our ability to deliver our next build on time. Although we are close to finishing the build the added stress of the evolving situation in Ukraine is making these last few steps fraught with frustration, desperation, and a near-constant need to be updated about his well being.

Many have asked for alternative ways to help Arbuz directly, but so far he doesn’t wish to and has enough that he will be fine for now. We will keep you up to date if the situation changes… and if we may need some form of aid in the future.

Thank you all, and please, stay safe. For now, donations to the Ukrainian Red Cross would be a great avenue to help those afflicted by this injustice. Portions of our patreon will be set aside in the event of an emergency, and our team is ready to help him at any time financially if it comes to it.

All of you take care… I hope Monday will be a better day than today, for all of us.

Why the red cross, though? There are way more efficient ways to donate to Ukrainian victory:

  1. "Come Back Alive" foundation https://savelife.in.ua/en/ . Support bank transfer or cryptocurrency. You can check information about them on Wikipedia.
  2. Direct transfer to the Ukrainian army. The option created by the Ukrainian government https://bank.gov.ua/en/about/support-the-armed-forces/
  3. Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation https://prytulafoundation.org/en/ Nothing much to say about them, other than they're credible and have been really useful to the army.

Thanks, those look like good links. This was posted a few days after the invasion, and the red cross seemed like the most reliable place to donate.

I honestly want to know how come you're not a pacifist and it's acceptable for you to donate to organisations that buy weapons or fund an army? I just can't imagine that such people who are interested in these NSFW games can be like you. I really want to know your mindset and how you think. How is it possible?

While pacifism is a noble ideology, unfortunately, I don't see a way to stop Russian terror other than fighting it. And after all the misery and grief they brought to my country, I have a strong belief that they must be stopped. Russia started an unprovoked, full-scale invasion. Their army murders, rapes and is mugging people. They destroy entire cities, and their missile targets include civilian objects and objects of infrastructure. There is nothing sane or reasonable in that. This is pure madness.

And the Ukrainian army is not an aggressor here but a defender. Donating to support Ukraine's efforts helps to ensure that they have the necessary resources to protect innocent lives and maintain stability.

I spoke with a lot of people who fled from the Russian invasion to my, more safe, city. I don't want this here and I'm thankful to all of those who keep Russians away.

P.S. I could send you some links to articles with detailed information about Russian atrocities in Butcha, for example, but instead, I'll send you this 3-minute Imagine Dragons video.

Sorry for such a long comment.

From the depth of russian opposition - Slava Ukraine. I would donate both to this exceedingly smooth game and the Red Cross, but all the methods here are cut off, so I stick to nighttime protests and online posts of support. May our "glorious" Putin rot 6 feet under.

'Ukraine is a puppet of the US'  this is what Kiriko 9527 is saying do what you will with this information

And you are a slave of the system, nobody is free today, wasnt free then, and probably never be free at all.

who are you? philosopher? I'm talking about reality, don't talk about fiction.

No way you called philosophy fiction, and I wasn't even talking about philosophy, that was truly one of the most childish statements I've read.
