The studio Cyberia Nova received 100 million rubles from the Institute for Internet Development (IID) to expand the educational mode for "Smut" called "Time of Troubles." This was reported by "Kommersant" referring to sources.
"Time of Troubles"
It is reported that the developers plan to add two new locations to the mode — Nizhny Novgorod and Yaroslavl. Currently, players can only study the history of Moscow in this mode. The additions are expected to take about a year and a half to create.
In 2023, IID head Alexei Goreslavsky announced that the organization allocated two grants for the development of "Smut" itself, with a total amount of 490 million rubles. Official game sales are unknown, but the VK Play service told "Kommersant" that "Smut" is selling above expectations.
