So this is Odesa today. It’s not made by a bunch of drunk conscripts with artillery. It was a long-range high-precision rocket that russians sent to specific coordinates: someone’s home.
We as humanity need to reconsider so many things if we want to survive on this planet. Delusional autocratic regimes building with propaganda their entire parallel reality to invade other countries can’t be a part of this survival.
People ask me if I’m safe, but no one is safe. You may think they don’t have reasons to attack your country. Well, same story here.

I’m gonna try and get some sleep while it’s quiet. Need to donate some blood tomorrow. Meanwhile you please do make sure to make those sanctions painful

Catch a cat and put it into the backpack absolutely unsuited for this to the pounding of enemy artillery while at the same time trying to convince your absolutely terrified taxi driver on the phone to not flee. The guy is a hero, one of many.
This little Steam development update has been brought to you using cell network and 39% laptop charge.
russia is still a terrorist state, in case you wondered
I wish all my followers outside Ukraine could take a moment to appreciate the absolute gift of not having their home invaded. That feel is so underrated.
I understand that some people have been out of the news loop about "the whole Ukraine thing" for the last year, and I hear some "calls for peace".
If you're "pro-peace", it means you're pro Ukraine's surrender and pro me and lots of my friends tortured and executed. Very simple.
Still feeling unsafe we moved together southwards to my birth town of Lozova. Spent the last hours before the curfew to look with a UV flashlight for the guiding markers left by enemy saboteurs. It sounds more like a movie plot than my life. WT actual F?
We stayed for a bit at my brother’s. His little daughters create absolutely surreal feeling when they show you their legos and sticker collections while you’re watching a video of russian soldiers burnt to the crisp outside their armed vehicle.
Me and my s.o. spent the night on the bathroom floor to be farther from the windows. Doesn’t feel like I slept at all, so it’s kinda still the same day. And I’m pretty sure it’s already the longest day of my life, even though this day have only started
Our next step was to move to my brother’s house on the southern outskirts of Kharkiv. Gathering all essential belongings wasn’t such a big problem until the next shelling started and this time much closer. I hope you’ll never know what it’s like trying to
So let’s get this straight. It’s putin’s war and the russians are against it, but they are afraid to protest because of prosecution. Also there are hundreds of thousands of them fleeing to other countries where they can protest legally. Except they don’t.
We were lucky enough to avoid any of the rockets, thrown at several locations throughout the residential quarters of Kharkiv and got to the destination safe.
The sooner we eradicate the rashists from our home the sooner we can get back to our work. Wanna see those updates again? Join us in this biggest fundraiser in our history!
We unite to buy 3 Bayraktars for UAF!
Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation started collecting money for 3 Bayraktars to help Ukrainian Air Forces. $15 million! It's the biggest fundraising campaign for Ukraine ever, but we believe we can do it together!
Really love checking out the huge town saves you send me. Can't wait to see what you'll come up with after row houses and a whole bunch of new brick buildings will be added to the game in Alpha 5

The blood donation center is full of absolutely awesome human beings. Working at full capacity. You can’t possibly expect to conquer a nation this consolidated
Just so you understand what russians mean when they call us nazis, I’ve been getting lots of emails from them for the last 8 years calling me a nazi because guess what? My game is available in Ukrainian. That’s what they’re fighting against: us existing
On February, 24 you can come out in your city to say that you're not ok with the idea of Ostriv dev team tortured and killed. Here are some worldwide locations listed:
While it's still a mystery what *that* building does, you can already check out another update with a rather obvious and highly requested new building:
A few weeks before this invasion I bought a drone to make some nice terrain textures from aerial pictures throughout all seasons.. Not this year I guess, because now that drone is somewhere in the fields looking for russians instead
I don’t have access to my main working computer and can’t work on Ostriv as before. So I’ve been working on this little city building puzzle game on my laptop. You just snap tiles together trying to match correct colors. Does it look interesting enough for a couple of dollars?
Out of context Ukraine: one picture is a historical brick building in Kharkiv destroyed last night by russians, the other one is where you will produce bricks in Ostriv.
Should I tweet about another russian terrorist attack or are they just assumed by everyone at this point? 20 confirmed dead and over 40 still under rubble of their own apartments. Russians attacked at Saturday so that more people would be at home.
Today the dying russian empire destroyed one of my favorite buildings 100 meters from my home in Kharkiv. The only “military target” I can imagine is a Hemingway-themed pub in its basement.

Since during war this became my personal account where I basically inform that I’m still alive, might as well post this surprisingly accurate picture of me painted by my 6 y.o. niece. Most Ukrainians now deliberately spend much more time with their relatives
🎄Let’s just make sure that everyone’s New Year’s resolution includes doing everything possible to make sure that a gang called russia doesn’t exist by the end of 2023. If humanity, freedom and democracy mean anything to you, that should be your priority.
Reporting on our recent little fundraiser. Got the stuff where it's needed. If you don't speak Ukrainian, just listen to that beautiful nightingale song on the background.
As if the game wasn't complicated enough, there'll now be limited shelf life for some resources. This will bring more sense to produce things like dried fish, which will last longer.
To all the fellow developers who sell their games in russian federation, keep in mind that 20% of your gross sales in that region is being remitted to the russian authorities. See my feed to learn how they prefer to spend it. Every dollar you make there gives them another bullet.
While big funds like Red Cross spend most of your money on marketing, these guys buy actual food for actual people in need. Donate on yevheniy

Tired of hearing about this need of “reconciliation” between Ukrainians and russian thieves. The only thing we need is for them to get the fuck out of our country. If they want to sink their ships and kill their soldiers so much, they can do that without involving us.
Since 2017 Ostriv has been pirated by so many russians, that statistically it's pretty likely that at least some of them have already died in our idyllic steppes. I see no other explanation why I haven't got a single email from them since February

Spent most of this day walking, buying and carrying. You’d be surprised how many little things are needed for day-to-day army activity. Also helps with stress: simply no time for it.
