Headquarters: World War II, Dev Q&A, and Other News

General!

We have updated all the Strategic Mind series titles recently, with various minor issues being fixed, and with Strategic Mind: The Pacific getting a full Korean text localization. We plan to add more improvements and fixes closer to the Strategic Mind: Spirit of Liberty release next year.

Headquarters: World War II - our new project in partnership with Slitherine


Headquarters: World War II is our first project with a publisher, and not just any publisher, but the number one publisher for niche strategy games - Slitherine. We are very happy with how the cooperation is going so far and we think that this project has everything it needs to become a very interesting and fun game for you guys to play.

Watch the video Q&A with developers


Our Lead game designer Oleksandr recorded a Q&A video and answered all of the questions we received. Here are some of them:
- Will you continue adding games to the SM franchise? Are you planning a SM2 with upgraded graphics and mechanics in the feature?
- Do you have a release date for spirit of liberty?
- When the Strategic Mind project ends with the last battlefield in Finland, what kind of project do you have in mind? Thinking of a new strategy game other than WWII?

Headquarters: World War II - Our New Project in Partnership With Slitherine



Hello guys!

The year is about to end, but we have one more big surprise in store for you.

Yesterday, our new project - Headquarters: World War II - was announced by Slitherine during the Home of Wargamers live stream:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Headquarters: World War II is our first project with a publisher, and not just any publisher, but the number one publisher for niche strategy games - Slitherine. We are very happy with how the cooperation is going so far and we think that this project has everything it needs to become a very interesting and fun game for you guys to play.



Headquarters: World War II is a tactical level game on a smaller scale compared to the Strategic Mind series. That allowed us to use real objects’ scale and bring the graphics to the new level of realism as well as deepen the combat tactics by taking into account attack angle and tank’s front/side/back/top armor planting, and adding different levels of terrain elevation. It features the Battle of Normandy in three plot-driven campaigns from the UK, US and German perspectives, as well as skirmish mode and multiplayer.



You can find quite a lot of extra information both in the livestream announcement and on the game store page below:

We cannot wait to share even more cool information and live footage of the game with you in 2022, so stay tuned. And do not forget to wishlist Headquarters: World War II if you want to follow the development.
