  New competition mode and preparation for the full version.

  Update demo 5.1.2 We are starting a big stage - the development of the remaining mechanics of the full version of "Sadko". But before that, we have prepared for you an update that is not so noticeable from the outside, but hides many important changes inside. And also - a new mode that will brighten the wait!Technical improvements ➖ Improved performance: FPS became higher (due to this, a loading screen was added); ➖ Full gamepad support in all sections of the game. Button icons automatically adjust to your controller - Xbox, PlayStation and others; ➖Added checkpoints for saving on each gathering stage, including remembering the location: no more running across the entire map after death; ➖Save reset moved to settings; ➖ You can notice new sections, the content of which will appear in the full version.Fixed many bugs: ➖ Enemies no longer appear right on the screen - now they appear as the hero moves, creating natural obstacles; ➖ The error with the constantly expanding active skill slot should no longer overlap the screen; ➖ Path indicators no longer highlight resources in closed locations: ➖ The fog at the monument no longer freezes; ➖ Music correctly changes from location to location;Art changes: ➖ The main menu has been converted to 3D following the introductory scroll scene. For the full version we will work on the shader and lighting, thanks to which all these 3D forms will gain color and atmosphere of the mysterious world of Sadko; ➖ The interface has been improved: now it is a bit more convenient and visually pleasing, and confirmation windows will prevent accidental clicks.New mode - competition! ➖ And the main thing, for which we have gathered: while the development team is working on the full version, players can prove themselves in a challenge where everyone is on equal terms and everything depends only on skill. Very soon we will tell you a little more about this mode and related events.Thank you for staying with us as the release day gets closer and clos...

  Refactoring of many systems, moving away from AI in music

  Participation in the "IGROPROM 2026" contest brought us a lot of real-time feedback, which allowed us to work extremely productively. Many mechanics have been polished, new small details have been implemented, and some systems have been completely rewritten.But most importantly - we're saying goodbye forever to the "Uses AI" checkbox, because today's update replaces the last two tracks we made with it with live, professional performances by a music group.Visual Changes Minor UI tweaks: hiding unnecessary elements and highlighting key moments with animation VFX for the temporary speed booster's active duration The story scroll has been moved into 3D space Added animations for illustrations Locations refined: removed hard-to-navigate spots, filled empty spaces AudioFixed track behavior: removed overlapping when transitioning between stages Reduced the "bass" on the power-up collect sound Fixed the issue of sound playing multiple times when hovering over a stat card Debut of the narrator's voice - now he greets everyone in the opening scene before the game Voiceover comes in 5 variations. One is chosen randomly at the start of the scene (you can restart the comic to listen to all of them) More than 50 additional narrator lines are in the works for implementation into gameplay. Soon they will accompany the hero on their journey Added a new composition to the main menu, though not in its final form yet SettingsRedesigned settings menu (and this isn't the final version either) More granular settings: Master, Sound, Music, and VoiceTechnical & Gameplay FixesFixed save bugs and the "New Game" / "Continue" buttons in the menu The upgrade window now opens after building if the "auto-open" checkbox was activated Resource and well (heal) indicators appear more frequently Added a timer for the "invincibility" skill duration The update is already available in the demo version.
