26 October | Gameplay Trailer for the Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty is Out!
As always we produce all our trailers and promo materials in-house, meaning that on one hand, it is not done by some fancy trailer-guru team, but on the other hand, it is done by the dev team that is very passionate about the project and tries their best to present it to the player’s community. Check out the trailer if you have not seen it yet:
29 November | SM: Fight for Freedom won the 'Best Strategy Game' award at Chainsaw Festival 2021
This award came to us as a pleasant surprise - we often participate in various events and competitions to showcase the game and are used to keep our expectations low, as our games are very niche and hardcore - so they rarely get lots of attention, as experts usually say something like “well, seems like a really cool game, but not something I would play after I have put in a hard day’s work”.
