Koios was the original developer. Based in Texas I believe.
Black Hand is the follow-on developer. It is in a nuke proof bunker 2000 ft. under Cheyenne mountain.
Or in the internet cloud.
I'm not sure.

My theory on Black Hand Studios is it's whoever is working on a current Matrix product not connected with a development house.

It's the internal development team.

That's the point. On Matrix website, we can see that "Black Hand" is the developer, but inside the game (including the Credits page) we just see "Koios Works". "Black Hand" is not mentioned, only the "Matrix team" around David Heat.

That's why I asked the question. But now I understand that "Black Hand Studios" is a kind of special "Matrix team".

Status: offline 		Hi guys,

"Black Hand Studios" is indeed the name of our internal development projects. However, it would be a disservice to the team to say that this was just a Matrix project. While we were involved, as we have been in Panzer Command throughout, this was a project initiated and carried through by the community team - a group of volunteers from the community who started out as testers and modders and programmers and over time became a development team. Panzer Command Ostfront very much reflects their vision of what Panzer Command could be and they did an amazing job.

However, despite all their talents they could not come up with a name for their own group , so we used our internal name for them for this project.

Regards,

- Erik
