Hey!
Here's another video showcasing the game with a more cinematic approach.
Two minutes with plenty of fire power, burning steel and some Norwegian scenery
Have a great weekend!

Amazing stuff, I'm looking forward to this game.

Great to see progress - the particle effects are nice, and it's good to see Swordfish in the game - nasty little planes that I have to deal with in Silent Hunter 3. Battleship AA guns = fun! I also hope there will be German flyboys. Like Me-109's, JU-88's, and He 111's.

Thanks guys!
Yes, some German planes should make it in at some point.
I am hoping to be able to setup air support, so that some JU-88s or JU-87s can come in and assist you on request


Recently I added a traffic generation system for the world:

Everything is looking good! Nice work on the map and icons!

One suggestion that I would make is to try to find a way to randomize the water surface so the waves don't look so geometrically uniform. If it's possible. I'm not a developer, so I don't know, just a suggestion from a definite, future player.

Other than that, the project looks great. And I'll be waiting with wallet in hand to buy it the day that it's released.

Thanks Oubaas!
Glad to hear that the project is interesting!
Yes, the water is tricky. In certain conditions it looks good, in other it looks repetative.
I will definitly try my best to tune it to look as good as I can.

Sounds good, bracer! You've already sold a copy when it's released. This is a definite purchase for me.

Hey everyone!

Now here's a task I've been very much looking forward to do!
It's the update to the main fire control station. You will spend alot of time in this station so I want to make it as cool as possible.

The station in Battleship Command is a merge of a few stations aboard a battleship, as you can control the directors, rangefinder and fire control computer all in one station.
While on a real battleship it would be atleast three different stations with alot of personnel handling the systems. So it's a challenge to make it user friendly for a single player!

Here's a (rather long) video showing how it currently looks and works. So grab a jug of your preferred beverage and listen to me trying my best to explain the stuff

Hello everyone!
Exciting news! I got the opportunity to have a talk with RAMJB who runs a great Youtube channel on strategy and sim games.
He has ALOT of knowledge about these sims and the history of naval and aviation combat,
so it was really fun and insightful to get the chance to talk to him one on one!
We discuss Battleship Command, game development and the difficulties around researching these old ships, and much more!
Be sure to check out his channel after watching the interview!
Enjoy!!
