You just moved into a supposedly quiet neighborhood but things aren't always what they appear. In Hello, Neighbor! it's you against your fellow house owner across the way as you try to discover his secrets hidden behind locked doors. But don't get caught because he's not exactly happy to have visitors snooping around his abode."
Hello Engineer, a new Google Stadia exclusive game, was released today. This new game is situated in the same world as the award-winning title Hello Neighbor, which is why we recognize a character from another of Tiny Build Riga’s past titles, both in look and mentality.
I feel bad for any dev roped into Stadia exclusives. Say what you like about PS/XB/PC exclusives, but at least they are all mainstream platforms where you can play 90% of releases, Stadia just doesn't have that and these potentially great games are going to a platform to die.
Despite a pretty lackluster launch, Google’s Stadia service is still hanging in there. The service added another game today: Hello Neighbor. This means Stadia-based stealth enthusiasts can now jump in and try to uncover what exactly is going on in their neighbor’s basement.
This month’s Humble Choice features twelve games. The headliners for June are Vampyr, Call of Cthulhu, Wargroove, and Hello Neighbor Collection. New games are added to Humble Choice on the first Friday of every month.

Garbage month for me. But I'll still take the games lol. I still got 45 to redeem that I've been to lazy to redeem lol
Probably, I am the main backer of this project from Minakov Mikhail - my ex partner in Dynamic Pixels.
A few days ago, by coincidence of fate, it is 2 years from the date of the decision to exit from my company. And the deadline for the closure of the last payment on the Minakov Mikhail's debt in payment of my share.
And I saw such an event - Mikhail gaining new debt and gives new promises on Kickstarter.
Past
11 years ago we started with Minakov Mikhail game company named Dynamic Pixels, and worked for 9 (!) Years together... In the end, Minakov Mikhail was boss in sales office Moscow, and I was a development office in Voronezh.
When our business stay more stable, Minakov Mikhail, with the help of his father - a CFO of Dynamic Pixels, reorganized the ownership structure. So I became not legally protected - temporally as they said. But we startupers - we were not up to legal technicalities, we have a lot of work and a good relationship!
Working at trust until 2013Q2. I was ignored in another try to bring the ownership structure in the order. Aditional – our strategic views became different.
Having released all the current projects and assisting in obtaining the contract for a large project, I have decided that it's time to go their separate ways. Good solution for both.
I had to take one of the sugested exit scheme by Minakov Mikhail (I hope you understand why). And also he refused to sell his share in the company on the basis of the his own assessment.
Moreover, Mikhail has asked installments for 2 years (for 2 years company was provided with cashflow, with skilful management). He even made a few payments with a few monthes delay.
Now
The result of so friendly exit: 1.5 years as Minakov Mikhail not pay his debts, and more than a year did not get in touch.
He did not apologize. Do not asked me to wait more. At the same time, as far as I know, not in poverty. He continued to receive cashflow and use expensive loyal traffic from our products, use mine team and office where I made repairs by my own hands.
Our last meeting in early autumn 2014 ended with the phrase "no money." Mikhail prudently did not come to the meeting on the new expensive car (about which I has already known from the my team). In his hands was the money, much more than he asks now - and where are they?
I have not disclosed the situation, do not headhunt my ex team. Despite the fact that delays and "ugly" behavior began from the first day of my exit - I was patient. I hoped that Minakov Mikhail not a crook. Still, we starts from zero and worked 9 years together and agreement more than money.
Minakov Mikhail has to pay the debt, otherwise it is not the legal full owner of real Dynamic Pixels and this project too.
My 2 years non-intervention - does not give the possibility to refer, the fact that something has gone wrong because of me.
But the time has come - community should know with whom has a business relationships.

co-founder, co-owner (2004-2013-?), ex CTO (2004-2013) of Dynamic Pixels
