Introducing TASK FORCE ADMIRAL Vol.1: American Carrier Battles

^I think I actually remember that version of Battleship.

Any chance this releases in 2023? Asking for a friend.

Hopefully. At the very least something playable by the larger crowd.

I am a might concerned the fonts might be a bit blury, but that's probably just the image compression.

Really not blurry in here, you're sure your monitor is alright Des? Any issue with the pic, guys?
Of course the original pic is here https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/37689795/a3ec488f74ffb1eac982077ca00754375533110d.png but you need to click on it to display it at normal size (it's native 2560x1440 so it will show up scaled down on most browsers).

Cheers

Font is clear but not the easiest to read when I click through the above image...for me anyway.

[CJReich46]

I had that too!

Hi guys!

Ahead of our next dev update (doing fewer of them, too busy with IRL stuff, game included), we uploaded a few of the videos we'll be using. Hope some of them will be to your liking :)

See you on Tuesday for the blah blah that comes with it

Yeah, without glasses, I couldn't play the game if I have to read a screen like that.  I wear my glasses to play most games, but even with my glasses, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer to play on a slightly larger font. 

Will the game come with a "font size" option?  That would solve any problems nicely.

The game is looking very sharp.

My take on the matter

Hi guys - here are the latest micro updates posted over the last few weeks ~

First, a video on Youtube, about a few tricks one can come up with our embedded camera system & filters:

As for tracers, indeed, they've been freshly implemented too, along with impact sounds & bullet whiiiiiz (direct link to the video file below):

Our scenario selection / briefing screen / loading screen system is now operational. It allows for handy extensive editing of the briefing details using markdown & is provided w/ an embedded video player allowing MP4 to be played in order.

Although it's purely about cosmetics (we ain't going to add much in there at this point & aircraft still go through each other as we hide hangar activity behind the curtain) the inside view is still kinda cool, even at this limited level of detail, so here's a look!









"All I wanted to do was to make something beautiful".
Well, it all started with this one.
Or so is Jiro Horikoshi often quoted as saying - but then again, coming from Myazaki, there's always a bit of a fable involved, who knows!
Anyway. The A5M in Task Force Admiral !






Lowpoly, even in 3D realism-oriented games, doesn't necessarily mean low effort, or ugly results. Here's Rizki's optimized 3D work shining under Julien's paintbrush in Task Force Admiral.
When you have a few dozens of these in a scene, you're happy they aren't eating away your frames!









And finally, last but not least, something more akin strategy gamers might be expecting from a wargame:
Here's a quick demo of our interactive dynamic map features Task Force Admiral. Strategic & tactical maps both allow you to display the wind & the cloud cover, so as to ensure you are aware of what it means to turn around into the wind to launch your birds!🐦

There there. As always, thanks for following us ;)
Cheers & have a fine Sunday!

Thanks guys!

Here's the next wave...
Unfortunately, Twitter has stopped providing embedding services to non-members, but fortunately some of the vids can be accessed on Discord. Life ain't getting any easier I am afraid... Anyway

Great looking aircraft. Haven't played a Pacific-based game (outside of Order of Battle) in so many years.
