Development
Design
The game was developed by Plastic Reality Technologies, a Brno-based studio founded in 2000.[1] Development of the game began in September 2001.[2] Absolute Games asserted that the topic was chosen as Czech developers had become fascinated by the Korean War due to an absence of its coverage within the modern cinema or computer gaming industries.[3] It was designed using the Typhoon engine,[4] using full three-dimensional graphics.[5] The game faced production struggles.[6]
Release
In July 2003, Plastic Reality announced a release date for the game in October of that year, with the title being published in Poland by Cenega Poland.[7] At the 2004 E3 in mid-May, Cenega Publishing presented the game;[8] they also presented it at the ECTS trade fair that August.[9] A demo version was uploaded to Gry Online on October 20, 2003,[10] and a patch was sent out in May 2004.[11] An Xbox version of the game was planned but was never released.[2] In 2006, Paradox Interactive included the game as part of the catalogue available in their electronic distribution system GamersGate.[12]
