We have made some graphical and content adjustment to our older SGS titles, and they have been updated today.

We take opportunity of this upgrade to let you know about our latest release, Britannia (It is the faithfull computer adaptation of he famous boardgame from the 1980’s covering the history of invasions in Britain from the Romans to William the Conqeror).

The game is available in Early Acces today (9:00 AM PST), giving time to our team to work on the multiplayer function (all other elements are already in and the game is fully playable).

The men behind Britannia are the same as the SGS team. Thanks to their dedicated work to bring us fine games to play.

The Publisher Sale weekend that has just concluded was a very big success for us. We appreciate your interest and support.

We have a new game coming out soon, Britannia, based on the famous boardgame.

Please go and wishlist it here, and tell your friends in case they don’t know about it yet.
