A website of the wine boutique “Wine collection” which is located in Perm has been launched. The site contains a virtual tour created with Alternativa3D. Remarkable thing is we have completely copied the interior of the boutique’s trading hall and placement of the products. A convenient navigation has been created: to find a certain region’s wines you can come to the map on the wall, select the region, click on it and in short time you’ll be at the right shelving. Hard liquors can be found by searching in the catalog on the table. Of course you can also just walk through the hall, clicking on the shelves.

Here you can see a couple of screenshots from small indy-gameCaptain Zorro. Last Hope, which uses Alternativa3D.

The story is quite fresh: you must save Mars by destroying robots controlled by crazy planet supercumputer :)

Save Mars!

Alright, we’re kinda getting back to real life and we can tell you something about two «Tanki Online» parties we had this weekend.

At 4th of June we did small and very nice evening for close friends and partners in our friends’ WoodHouse Cafe.

At right pic you can see SUN, she’s one of the best project beta-testers. Cafe boss James is standing there too.

That evening may be called informal. Open party at June 6th may be called pure trash mess badaboom:
