Hello there!

We want to talk about one dramatically important part of Bachelor’s nature. It’s a special Daniil Dankovsky’s tool for interacting with the infected environment. Bachelor is primarily an analyst, an attentive and focused observer. Therefore, his instrument is an evolution of the former plaguefinder, but now the device works not only as a detector. We will surely tell more about its functions and impact on the gameplay later, but now we suggest you put forward your own hypotheses, looking at the rejected sketches.

During the creation of concept arts, its form has changed way more than once. We have come a long way: from purely technical options, attempts to imagine how such a device could work “if it really existed” — to abstract devices that promote concentration and mental acuity. For Bachelor it has to work the same way the to***co pipe works for Sherlock. We are still looking for an option that can carry out non-trivial types of impact on the environment without being extraneous to the world of our game.

The work on this tool is still in progress, but even now we can show you how it could end up looking.

Down came the rain

Franz as it's seen by game's art director Oleg Pashchenko isn't the same character seen by game director Nikolai Dibovskii and narrative designer Anna Pimonova.

But that's exactly why it's so freaking interesting to know how they transformed their ideas and their own life experience into a creative symbiosis.

Today we'll tell a story of an artist that gave Franz her own face.

Hello. All posters are finally printed, all hearts and brands are packed. That means only one thing: the shipment of backers’ rewards has started.

We will send you the tracking number of the parcel by email. If you haven't filled in the form in one of the previous posts yet, please do it now. This way we can avoid confusion and make sure that the package will be delivered to you.

Hello! It is Nikolay Dybowski.

We’ve been quiet for quite a long time, but today it won’t be possible to ask: “What’s new with Bachelor?”. I will answer most frequently asked questions about Pathologic 2 and overall studio’s business as well.

What were you actually doing all this time?
