I know those snapshots in b/w weren't supposed to look noirish, but...!

Well I did call it TFA Noire & made a joke about Humphrey Bogart...
Although despite his service & his contribution to the naval genre, most will remember him as a Navy character for that one with ice cream & frozen strawberries, which might seem unfair - but hey, you enter the hall of fame by whichever door they open to you, I suppose ^^

Ok. There's a steam update incoming, but I don't feel like making you wait too long for the meat proper (nah, I meant the meat of the update Gus, not yours) so, there you go. A longer showcase that starts to look like a game, for a change :)

Cheers!

[Gusington]

Nice.

There is no wait for mine, fyi.

[MC]

Wow! To say this looks fantastic would be an understatement. Do you plan on adding zombies?

My first favorite part of the video was the text that faded in at 1:45 https://youtu.be/Es4J8cIRiSE?t=105 describing the player's role in the game.

"As the Flag Officer, you are basically a passenger aboard USS Yorktown. You manage all the ships, aircraft, and men placed under your command."

My second favorite part was the old Microprose styled physical big box graphic that faded in at 10:26 https://youtu.be/Es4J8cIRiSE?t=626 because of nostalgia for their old games like 1942: The Pacific Air War and  Task Force 1942 which were more of aircraft and ship simulators with a bit of added tactical and operational decision making.

Between those two points in the video there's a lot of evidence Drydock Dreams Games are adding in details that I used to imagine in my minds eye when playing those old Microprose games and wishing they were more focused on the command perspective rather than the sim point of view.

That I can relate with for sure - that game would not exist if it hadn't been for these two :)
And the box thing will be addressed all in due time, hopefully rather sooner than later by now!

Thank you all for your kind words, for your support - and your valiant patience too of course ^^
