It's been a while since our last update, and we think it's time to let everyone know where Army Ops stands.As some of you already know, we ran into legal issues regarding Army Ops over the past one and a half years. Unfortunately, we can't share any details about that, but those challenges forced us to pause, rethink many parts of the project, and significantly change our plans. It was frustrating for us, and we know the silence has been frustrating for many of you as well.The good news is that those issues are now behind us.We finally have a clear path forward, and development is moving again.

Soldiers, the year 2022 is coming to an end and it's about time to review the year and Army Ops development. And what a ride this year was.... Lets get the negatives out first so we can focus on the but stuff and the future later on! What went wrong The year started off with a disaster in multiple ways. The unjustified russian war against ukraine had and has a massive impact on the world in different ways. We were hit by this agression in a way almost killing the company. Over night a large part of our outsourcing partners which where all located in ukraine where no longer available and in war. We lost a lot of highly skilled artists and developers supporting the development of various Polygon Art titles. We had to reshuffle, replan and scale down or alternate years worth of planning and development. This slowed down the development of Army Ops and all our other projects.... What worked…
