[h2]Soundtrack release[/h2]
Recently we have released our soundtrack:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1358280/Strategic_Mind_Franchise_Soundtrack/

It is not just a soundtrack but in fact, a crowdfunding campaign aimed at increasing the number of tracks available in all of our projects.

Here is one of the cinematics tracks by Draba Studio:

[h2]YouTubers issues[/h2]
Another problem with stock music is that some authors started to accuse the YouTubers playing our games for violating the copyright.

We as a studio had the right to use it in Strategic Mind: The Pacific, but the YouTubers did not have the right to use it in the videos. That created unnecessary problems and complications for streamers and YouTubers. That was one of the reasons we decided to go for a fully original OST starting with Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg.
[h2]Daraba studio[/h2]
In Strategic Mind: The Pacific we used a lot of stock music buying license for 1 commercial project only. Thus we cannot add all tracks from the Pacific into the soundtrack. To solve all these problems we made an offer to Daraba Studio team to write an exclusive music for us. Now we hold exclusive rights for all tracks starting with Blitzkrieg and are free to use and expand our soundtrack.

If you want us to add more original gameplay tracks into our games - you can support us by purchasing the Strategic Mind Franchise Soundtrack.

Have a good weekend!



Starni Games team

We would like to congratulate the players’ community with the 2 months anniversary of Strategic Mind: Blitzkrieg.

These two months we work hard to fix all of the reported issues and further improve the game: 18 updates in two months can truly be called “a Blitzkrieg” on its own.
[h3]What we have done[/h3]
Apart from bug fixes, the game went through the following improvements:

• New Equipment added + all equipment balancing
  
• Balance changes for the majority of operations
  
• Steam achievements added:
  
• Naval tutorial added
  
• Better Steam integration
  
• You can adjust difficulty after every operation
  
• Added new terrain type — Street, improving the city-combat part of the gameplay
  
• Added option to set a delay after each phrase 0-5 sec
  
• All new save files are now archived, so they take tenfolds less disk space now
  
• Added option to set the number of last save files 10-100 — the rest will be deleted automatically
  
• Slight UI improvements etc.
  

The majority of these changes were inspired by your feedback which we carefully accumulated and immediately acted upon. We look forward to more feedback from you guys!



[h3]What we plan to do[/h3]
The roadmap for the future updates is currently looking like that

• Leaderboards: recording your score and comparing it to the other players globally
  
• Steam Community Items: trading cards, badges etc.
  
• The “Undo” button: the ability to correct a misclick, if it did not result in a fight or spotting of the enemy unit.
  

[h3]Strategic Mind: The Pacific update[/h3]
Another important matter is that most of the important changes were transferred to the Strategic Mind: The Pacific as well. So, all the players of Strategic Mind series can benefit from the improvements. This also means that when the next Strategic Mind title will come out, many important features will be added retrospectively to Strategic MInd: Blitzkrieg as well.



[h3]Soundtrack is out[/h3]

To celebrate the 2 months since release, we have also prepared the Strategic Mind Franchise Soundtrack, all income from which will be invested into more tracks that will be added into the very same soundtrack for free:

And last but not least, we have announced our next title — Strategic MInd: Spectre of Communism. It will allow you to witness the WWII events from the opposite side’s perspective.

Overall, it was busy 2 months, but our tanks are swift and they only gain speed.

There is more news that we are excited to share with you coming up, so stay tuned!

With best regards

Hello, guys!

We love to create thought-provoking wargames and it’s great you play them.

The most dedicated person doing Let’s Play videos of our games on YouTube is Night Phoenix.

We love watching his videos as developers and want to share them with you so that you can also enjoy watching them. There are always multiple ways to get through the scenario, so it is interesting to see how the other players fared even if you already finished this particular scenario.

Today, we present you the second operation by the Night Phoenix with English commentary, the Invasion of Poland:

General!

Our undisputedly best in the world intelligence service has established the weekly reports to keep you up to date with all the latest data. Our agents will prepare a briefing on all the events, discounts, and news related to the Starni Games.

As the Chief of Staff, it is paramount that you have impeccable information on the ever-changing situation.

[h2]Strategic Mind: The Pacific 30% off — weeklong sale[/h2]

[h2]Strategic Mind Franchise Soundtrack is not what it looks like[/h2]
At first, our agents thought that this was just an ordinary soundtrack announcement, but it turned out that it is only the tip of an iceberg.

Starni Games wants to greatly expand the existing soundtrack and improve it in future projects. So, the logical decision was to join forces with the community - 100% net revenue from soundtrack sales will go into its expansion.

If you buy the current version - you will get all the future track as well with no additional fee. When you buy the soundtrack you get all the current and future tracks, both gameplay and cinematic ones. You also help us create more tracks.

So, it is a win-win scenario.

Additionally, you get all the tracks in both mp3 and wave formats, so if you value quality recordings you can get the original files.

More detailed research can be found in our intelligence service library:

[h2]Starni Games were spotted at the Games Gathering 2020 Odessa game conference[/h2]

Our agents in Ukraine informed us that the Starni Games top brass were sighted at the secret event held despite pandemics.

You can read the full report here:
https://steamcommunity.com/games/769950/announcements/detail/2572068948280625084
However, here are some more jucy details for you.

After the conference conclusion, our agents tailed to said individuals to a unknown location where only the elected circle was admitted - to the afterparty.

Taking down a couple of sentries (they are alive) the agents managed to get exclusive footage of this secretive event and took pictures of Strani Games developers plotting their insidious plans.



Looks like a regular party at first…



...but this is where all sorts of sinister plots are devised. This time we overheard the developers planning to conquer the whole world.

This is it for this week’s report.
