At the beginning of January, we officially launched our new strategy title, Legends of Honor. Since that day, hundreds of thousands of castles have been built while battle-hungry and iron-willed heroes steal across the massive world map. We believe that this achievement fully deserves a blog post of its own, so today we’d like to give you a look at the exciting creation of the world map.

GOOD Studios – Studio Strategy Games knows the key to success

A lot has happened since we restructured our company and created seven autonomous development studios one year ago.
