“We planned the official, public premiere of the “Play of Battle” demo on October 26 at the Kinoteka in Warsaw to present the effects of our work to players and investors. We were particularly interested in achieving a very high level of realism, characteristic of the best war games,” comments Jacek Bartosiak, president Play of Battle companies.
The supervisory board of the company established in 2021 includes, among others: general Waldemar Skrzypczak, and the advisor to the management board is prof. Norman Davies, a well-known historian and author of the monumental book “God’s Playground. History of Poland”. The entire Play of Battle team consists of 17 people who combine competences in both game production and knowledge of contemporary geopolitics and military.
The result of their work is a game with the same title as the company’s name. The idea for the “Play of Battle” game was created several years ago, but work on the project began in the second half of 2021. In the game, the place and time of the action is the world in the years 2008-25. The creators aim to reproduce the current political situation, state behavior, and regional and world conflicts.
“Realism is to be reflected in what commanders struggle with in the field of modern conflicts, which are largely conducted through diplomatic and economic activities, economic and technological sanctions, taking into account the so-called escalation ladder of the conflict, and only as a last resort, through military action,” explains Bartosiak, quoted in the press release.
The game is intended to combine the features of the so-called grand strategy wargame, a genre that allows players to control a selected country in a complex real-time strategy (RTS) game. Players will be able to control a selected country at the geostrategic level and fight battles at the operational and tactical level. The game will also have high replayability, i.e. the player will be able to start it and play it many times, the release states.
The presentation of the “Play of Battle” demo scheduled for October 26 is both a milestone in the development of the production and a summary of the conceptual phase. The purpose of creating a prototype was to reflect as faithfully as possible the reality presented in the work of Dr. Jacek Bartosiak and transferring it to the game world – sums up the company.
The shareholder of Play Of Battle is the game producer Noobz from Poland listed on NewConnect, which has almost 40 percent. action and has released games such as “Total Tank Simulator” in the past. Play of Battle in the so-called through equity crowdfunding, he obtained PLN 1.54 million from investors for the project.
