Progress update: new map, interactive memories and more
Hello and we hope you are all safe,
you might have noticed things happening around Attentat 1942, namely the Remembrance Update and the upcoming mobile release. Even though we put a lot of effort into them, we never stopped working on Svoboda 1945. Apart from polishing and updating Svoboda 1945's Steam page, here's what we've been up to:
New map
Our map is the main entry point to the troubled story of our village. We felt that it should do much more than just show you icons of characters and items. So we decided to give it a big overhaul, making it not just a crossroad but full-fledged story part - by including what we call 'places of memory'. As you play through Svoboda, discovering new places and important events, they will show on your map. The map is now dynamic in size, letting you see different pieces of the story depending on the zoom level. A family tomb, local school which used to be an SS encampment, farmstead of a local patriot who doesn't like your research. And there's much more to discover so stay tuned and look for clues on our Facebook or Twitter.
PC, Mac and Linux coming
We tested our new tech with the Attentat 1942 update and we are happy to announce that Svoboda 1945 will be available on all major desktop operating systems. So apart from PC, both MacOS and Linux players will be able to play it from the day one! Response from the Linux community has been great so we're really looking forward to bring our next historical title to their favorite platform as well.
The last thing: interactive memories
With dialogues designed and polished, we will now focus our efforts on interactive memories to let you engage with history in a more hands-on way. You might remember stalling Gestapo or fleeing Nazis from Attentat 1942 and we want bring this approach to Svoboda 1945's storyline as well. We can't share any specifics now (though they will come) as things are still in progress, but here's the clues: card game on the eve of political turmoil, farmstead collectivization or photography development class.
So that's it! With Attentat 1942 mobile port coming in a few weeks, our full efforts are now focused on Svoboda 1945. We will be sharing more bits and pieces as we will be approaching our autumn/winter release date - more on exact date later.
And as always, we'll be more than happy to hear from you what are your expectations and what would you like to see in a game about a part of history that is not explored enough. For more details consult brand new Steam page or follow us anywhere.
Hear from you soon!
