Thanks Seedler - I've been following that one for a while. It's going to be limited to MP though, they have no immediate plans for SP.

Hearts of Oak is coming along nicely too - check out the video

This project dead?

If you mean my "signal" game, it's not dead, just on an extended vacation. I had several "reversals" in my fortune, and have been hard pressed to find time. It is on the top of my list, once i clear out that other list.

best,

Hang in there, bix.

Hope your issues clear themselves up soon.

glad to hear you're still working on it

FYI everyone,

A game I posted earlier, Naval Action

http://www.navalaction.com/

seems to be coming on in leaps and bounds. They are planning on adding a hardcore sailing mode - trimming sails, yards, etc. If this floats your boat register and post!

Well for starters there is a fairly decent sized market for train simulators.(Due to the sheer number of train fans in the US alone.) As for rollercoaster games they do well when it's not just about the coasters. Rollercoaster Tycoon being the best example.

I just checked out Naval Action and it looks incredible!! You'll find me playing that when it comes out as either a Frigate captian or a privateer

For my money Hearts of Oak will be the winner

Some promising concept art here

And a pre-alpha vid of cannon effects.

How much you want to bet? I play against you. Naval Action will win
And people are already sailing in multiplayer in that game

HOO have changed 3 game engines over last 2 years.
I am sure that project is going to freeze again when Capt Murphy is hired by Naval Action team.
