Thanks alot, Neal! Much appreciated!

Excellent video. It's looking great! This one is definite for me when it's released!

Kipparikalle · 03-17-23, 12:29 PM

This looks really good

And you picked the german ship as well, few things beat a good old fashioned "underdog" setting.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, the Scharnhorst is setup for some interesting gameplay.
She was built to outrun anything stronger then her, and outgun anything faster.

Really like both premise and scope - looks very promising!

dsawan · 03-26-23, 09:13 PM

This is awesome. But can you tell us what pc specs are needed to run this when released? Will there be a non-steam version and also a low end version for those who have older windows pc's?

Aktungbby · 03-26-23, 09:16 PM

Sulikate!

...after a 2year 'silent run'!

I am quite keen on having it perform well, so it should be playable on older PC's. I will test it on older PC's and see how it runs at the moment.
I havn't decided yet how to sell the game, but I am leaning towards Steam. It's also possible that I will also sell it on my own page.

dsawan · 03-27-23, 06:30 PM

Yes, my friends and cohorts prefer a non-steam purchase too. As for low end, I use a vista windows 7 pc. Hoping it can work on that as well.

Nice work; I would really like to have a scenario involving HMS Glorious! Maybe with options to have Glorious handled more effectively than she really was, or with a whole flight of Swordfish ready. Would make for interesting outcomes.

Beautiful terrain and vessel models BTW.

Ahoy! It's been way too long. Glad to see the community's still thriving, with new projects like this cropping up and all

Hey!

The last few weeks I've spent more time on the map, which now also lets you control your friendly ships and give them basic orders.
Now I have also started to work on a more advanced AI grouping/convoy system.
It is looking quite promising! In the screenshots you can see a 24 ships that are spawned in, and after a button press I force them to organize themselfs into a convoy.

Starts out as chaos, but after a while they manage to line up nicely.

(Map image is a gif, probably click it to play if it doesn't autoplay...)

bracer · 05-16-23, 02:59 PM

Work on the AI is starting to pay off! To test the AI properly I had to build a new scenario setup screen to quickly be able to battle groups against eachother. Now it's quite fun to watch the AI fight.

Here I had a group of Hippers find a big convoy, which was overwhelmingly escorted.

The Hippers were quickly encircled by the Brittish force.

Sulikate · 05-17-23, 12:06 AM

Thanks for the update! It's great to see new features coming to life

bracer · 07-12-23, 05:33 PM

Hey everyone!
Finally time for a little update.
I have been hard at work with the ai and various controlls for the ship.
More importantly I've reached some big milestones regarding time compression, handling abstractions of ai ships and a custom mission editor.
The time compression allows for having missions set over large distances, large distances means many ships needs to be simulated.
That's why I have implemented a way to simulate ships far away in an abstract manner, cheaply, so that I can have hundreds of ships travelling the Atlantic.
With this done, I could start on my mission editor. And you can see I've been busy playing with it.
And here's a long gameplay video for y'all:

Cheers!
