Red Storm Rising remake hits 29% completion!

[Sonarman]

Over at Kennedy Approach.com (http://www.kennedyapproach.com/home.php) M.Franssen (Weps) is still working away on recreating the devious AI tactics of the Soviet forces in his recreation of the Microprose classic "Red Storm Rising" He reports today he has reached 29% completion!

Be sure also to check out the latest (18-01-09) development video over at Youtube.com (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=OJFVh6GXl-M)

It would be great to see what the combined talents of M.Franssen and the "Subsim mod squad" could do on this remake of this Sid Meier classic!

Very impressive videos.

Tackling the AI coding will certainly be a difficult part, in RSR the AI was just excellent regarding the detection (the AI was not omniscient and so it was possible to "surprise" it and it would launch torpedoes to bearing of your own once he detected them), evasion (the AI was able to launch countermesures and try to evade torpedoes) and attack (once you or torpedoes were detected, the AI was really alerted).

I wish the best to the coder, that's a fantastic project.

How the devil does someone measure completion so precisely at 29%!? :hmm:

:rotfl:My thoughts exactly. But hats off to the guys behind this.
