Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I hope everyone who watches it enjoys it, especially you guys from the GWX dev team. Keep up the great work!!
Now, about the considerably longer length. I made the choice to make it long because this game itself is 1) a simulation of real-life events, 2) The battle of the atlantic (the setting for this game) was the longest battle of the largest war in the history of the world. The sea lanes were literally the life line of the Allied nations and without the sacrifices made, things would be a little different than they are today wouldnt they?
Besides, you can bypass the intro anytime by pressing the spacebar, mouse button etc...Thanks again everyone.
