Attentat 1942 News

Hello amidst those troublesome times!
We are sorry to all of you affected by game crashes upon updating to MacOS 11.0.1 Big Sur. Apple made some unanticipated changes and they broke the game for some of you.

Also thanks to all your reports, we now published an update that should fix things for you. So make sure to update! If any problem persist, please do write us at [email protected] and we'll assist you.

We wish you a pleasant holiday season and take care,

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!

We are happy to bring you another big announcement. We discussed it in previous years, you've been asking us about it, but only after our switch to a new engine (introduced with our previous Remembrance Update) it became feasible. So as of now Attentat 1942 is available to play on Linux!



It took some extra programming, video recoding and a lot of testing, but we are really looking forward to seeing what players on another platform will think about our way of approaching World War 2 and history.

Our mission at Charles Games is to explore the narrative possibilities of videogames, especially when it comes to serious topics. Linux has been something we wanted to do for a long time, to bring our historically-acurate, captivating story to an audience that is keen on playing interesting games. We are happy to erase this debt.

And a final thanks all of you the in comments who helped us to make it happen.

So I hope you'll enjoy Attentat 1942 on Linux! And if you encounter any problems, please let us know here or at [email protected].

Hello!

First of all we're rolling out what is the first post-launch update to Attentat 1942, polishing minor UI inconsistencies and fixing obscure bugs in specific situations. So play now to get the best Attentat 1942 experience on Mac and Windows.

But we also have big news! After weeks of toying with our development tools we reached the decision that we can safely announce that Attentat 1942 will be coming to Linux on June 16th! Rolling out here on Steam as well as other storefronts, with all the features of Remembrance Update. We know that Linux players had to wait, but our recent switch to Unity finally made it happen. And we are really looking forward to seeing the reactions of Linux players!




We'll be launching the Linux port in the afternoon, at 5 pm UTC+2/CEST. will drop an announcement when it's ready. See you then and take care.
