Clash 2 + Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom Bundle

NEW MAJOR UPDATE - 2.00 Update is Here!

Hello, guys!



This is an update dedicated to the Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty release later today. It includes all the fixes and improvements we did to the core mechanics while working on Strategic Mind. This is just one in a series of updates aimed at polish and post-launch support of the entire series.

Today, we addressed one of the series issues that was especially noticeable if you own all Strategic Mind titles - we reduced the disk space required for all games in the series. So, now it is easier to store them.

Update 2.00




  • The game now requires less disk space (Before 41.1 GB | Now 38.2 GB)
  • (For other SM titles we managed to reduce size by 20-35%, but here it worked the least. We will see if we could further improve in that direction, as it is right now the largest build among Strategic Mind titles.)
  • Fixed various bugs while working on Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty
  • Fixed some localization errors
  • More fixes to come soon


Non-exhaustive list of fixed issues:




  • Bug with “flying” Recon unit
  • 3rd equipment slot abuse for some units.
  • The torpedo sound could still be heard when the volume is at 0.
  • Units not getting extra EXP for capturing enemies that could not retreat due to various reasons.
  • Units keeping bonus from aura effects, even if the UNDO button returned the aura-giving unit away from them
  • Abuse that allowed to return units to Reserve outside of the Deployment area.
  • [Fight for Freedom only] Fixed the Sniper Squad (USA) equipment not providing +1 Spotting.
  • The crash caused by the illegitimate equipping of units outside the Service Zone (Which was possible due to a UI bug).


All other Strategic Mind titles are also receiving a similar update today.



You can expect more updates and quality-of-life improvements as we keep polishing the series and provide post-launch support for Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty and other titles. All relevant improvements will be delivered across all titles of the Strategic Mind series, as always.

As today, with the beginning of the Steam Strategy Fest, we celebrate the release of Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty, you can take advantage of the special offer - all owners of the previous Strategic Mind series games can get the newest title with 15% extra discount on top of the existing launch discount. Act now, commander!

CosmoPirates



Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.

CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.

NecroGolf



There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.

In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.

77p egg: Eggwife



If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator. Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!

Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!

Unless he gets lost in the grocery aisle again.

EMPTY SHELL



Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.

In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.

During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.

Wishlist the game!
If you can't wait to play, we have a prologue waiting for you!

War in Ukraine - despatch 15 | The power of light
Hello, everyone!


First of all, news of how we cope with the ongoing war in Ukarine. Russia keeps its missile strike schedule making a large attack every two weeks, and some smaller ones when it pleases. The last big attack was on February 10, with 71 missiles (61 were downed by AA fire, 10 around Kyiv). Fortunately, there was no major damage in Kyiv and the power supply did not suffer much.

On the biright side, last week was the first week without the power cuts - for the first time since October 2022 Ukraine has enough power supply. Of course this may change, and we have our power generator at the ready, but this is definitely very good news. We hope that the power of the light will be victorious both in terms of power supply and in the war in general.

Also, I would like to share with you our latest updates:
