I know I haven't posted an update for over a month.

The whole team has been holding the gas pedal to the floor for many weeks now, and we have been incredibly busy.

HUGE progress has been made, and we are keeping very quiet on purpose.

Remember, we are rebuilding and modernizing it more or less from the ground up after essentially more than a ten year absence.

Looking roughly at the time frame that I have already mentioned, I think that GWX - Knight's Cross edition is slightly ahead of schedule, but we will see how it goes. Some days we see MILES of progress, and others are a fist fight for every square millimeter.

At any rate, production remains in full swing. Just figured I'd let you all know.

Sink'em ALL!

Hi nik112.
We have decided to do something that I am sure will prove to be unpopular.
We are going to run mostly silent.
Not completely silent, but close to it.

I can assure you this though: Work on GWX-KC remains furiously and actively underway.... and I can tell you that the team is HIGHLY motivated to see it through.

The things I have posted before remain true.

Welding goggles are on all of our faces, sparks are showering in ALL directions, and the din of metal against metal is near continuous.

It will be worth the wait.
It will be ready when it is ready.

In the meantime,
Try to have a Merry Christmas and
Sink'em ALL!

OK, it's been about a month now since the last tid-bit of info and I realize you guys are "run'n silent", as stated, but could you throw us a bone or two. Say maybe, if GWX KC will have totally new GUI or something like that. Thanx Jerry

+1


Or just saying if you've made any progress...

Greetings all.

I am lifting the periscope only to assure all who may be interested, that the GWX-KC engines remain at ahead full.

A great deal of work has been completed, but a great deal of work remains ahead of us.

Gentlemen, (and ladies???)

I understand your curiosity.... I imagine that I might have the same feeling if I were standing in your boots.... but 'running silent' means exactly that.

I think that you might rather we build it.... than talk about it.

It will be ready when it is ready.

Keep up the good work Her Kaleun.....Can't wait to dive

Glad to hear that the mod is going well.

Run Silent, Run Deep (pardon the pun), understood Kpt Lehmann

Great ! I'll stay awaiting new release with anxiety.
Is there a wish list?
One of them could be a switch selecting interior lights between normal/blue and red likewise in Uboat game.
All the best

Blue lights didn't exist.

I think that the lighting situation is fine as is.

I have been away for a very long time due to a life threatening health problem, (Feb 2018 -today), and it is fantastic to read the development of GWX Knights Cross.

Thank you Kpt. Lehmann and your team for your efforts.

I do look forward to install this new update when it is ready and I am sure that playing it will help me in my long recovery fight.

Sink them all!!!

Cheers, lobomarinho.

It is always good to see an old salt from the Happy Times here.
I am sorry to hear about your tough health problems.

I wish that we could release it tomorrow.

However, you know how it is.
It is a massive animal, and because that is so, it has to spend a lot of time in in the big cooking pot.

Things are going very well for us. However, I don't want you to wait on us. It will be ready when it is ready.

Do this for yourself: For now, choose a different mod package and go on patrols. Sink stuff. Get depth-charged. Be inside the sim... and consciously choose to accept things that you might otherwise feel are not what you would hope for.

We have a little experience with our own health problems on the GWX Dev team... and I can say to you that getting immersed in the game itself... even if it is sometimes only sailing on the surface and listening to the wind and waves.... is often GOOD MEDICINE. The distraction, even when you can't always think straight because of the suffering, does a fair job of actually putting some of that pain to one side.

Heck, there's even been a fair bit of research using VR games with burn victims as a form of pain relief.

Don't wait for GWX-KC to do that, fellow Grey Wolf. GWX-KC is coming, but it is huge and ponderous. Each of us on the team has invested hundreds of hours.... if not thousands EACH.... and there remains much work ahead of us.

It can only be ready when it is ready.
Neal Stevens once described GWX as being the 'gold standard' of SH3 modding. What that also means for us though, is that we can never lower that bar. Keep the faith. Keep sailing....


.... and SINK'EM ALL!

To everyone: There is no wish list. We have chosen what we will be doing and our path to accomplish it. We also know that (as in days past) though most of what we are doing will likely be loved, there will also be parts that may become controversial and may not be loved as much. The same is true of any modwork out there.

In the meantime, enjoy yourselves.... don't stress.
