The message of this video we made continues to be as important as ever. Honored to have been part of this collaboration, that touched so many people. Sometimes it's important to be reminded of a hopeful future.

It's finally here! Our long-promised AI update for Spies & Soldiers has finally arrived for playtest and demo builds. ⚔️ 🤖 🛠 We had to rebuild the system from the ground up, and it still has a long way to go, but this new AI opponent is already leagues ahead of our old one.
