For years, Atomic Heart has attracted questions and backlash. This created big problems for developers

Many users jumped on Atomic Heart long before the sale of the game in Russia and the CIS on PC on Steam (VK Play exclusive) was canceled. Mundfish remembered what happened several years before the release of the game.

Recently, a post was published on the Telegram channel, talking about the impact of negative publications on work processes:

«…for many years, starting in 2019, DTF was mostly short on Atomic. Every time news about us appeared there, it was filled with painful negativity and extremely, extremely (repeat this word many times) negatively affected the motivation of the studio and employees.

However, the creators did not give up and continued to create Atomic Heart (under conditions of extremely high pressure):

«I, Vova , always believed in Atomic, believed in our amazing team, who did this work every single day to create a real dream game. We gnawed at this granite, ground our fingers into blood, climbed with all our might as a team to achieve the release and make it memorable.

I want to say that it was difficult in such psychological conditions. The Internet can be very painful“.

Mundfish also thanked the players for their support. Work continues, new DLC for Atomic Heart is ahead.
