Last week we travelled to another city in Ukraine - Odessa to our first offline game conference since the start of the pandemics.
We have participated in the Indie Blast competition with the Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom and had a free demonstration space thanks to that. For 2 days anyone interested in our projects or cooperation with us could come to our desk and discuss any topics or just play the game and give us feedback.
Our CEO and Founder Ihor Tymoshenko and Lead Game Designer / COO Oleksandr Sienin gave a joint talk about our company's path, financial results, and valuable lessons we have learned the hard way. The audience was very pleased and even surprised by the level of transparency and frankness we have shown throughout the talk, as few companies are ready to share all the sensitive information about them due to various reasons including NDAs.
Overall, we are very happy that we decided to spend these few days among like-minded people and had lots of interesting discussions.
There will be an even bigger from the same organizers in Kyiv - our hometown in December 2021, and we are looking forward to going there with everyone on the team who would want to participate. We plan to showcase Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty there.
Hope you have enjoyed our short story.
Have a good day!

Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty - Prologue 1939 Store Page is Open! 🎉
Hello, guys!
We have two pieces of news for you today, as it goes: the good and the bad one.
We will start with the bad one. Due to a number of reasons we decided to extend the production time and plan the Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty release for Q1 2022, so it is not coming this winter holidays. We want more time to polish the game and do not want to rush the release, as we have barely made it in time with Strategic Mind: Fight for Freedom.
The good news is that you would not have to wait all this time to start playing the game. We decided to release a fully free separate app called Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty Prologue 1939 that will allow all wargame fans to enjoy the early stages of the game for free in Q4 2021. No catch, no in-app purchases.
We want to share the Strategic Mind series with as many wargames fans on Steam as we can. So, support us by adding this free Prologue app to your wishlist bolstering our promotion efforts and making sure that you would not miss the free Prologue release.
